If God promise riches, the way thereto is 1poverty. Whom he loveth, him he chasteneth: whom he exalteth, he casteth down: whom he saveth, he damneth first: he bringeth no man to heaven, except he send him to hell first: if he promise life, he slayeth first: when he buildeth, he casteth all down first: he is no patcher; he can not build on an other mans foundation: he will not work, until all be past remedy, and brought unto such a case, y• men may see, how that his hand, his power, his mercy, his goodness, and trueth hath wrought all together: he will let no man be partaker with him of his praise, and glory: his works are wonderful, and contrary unto mans works. Who ever (saving he) delivered his own son, his only son, his dear son unto the death, and that for his enemies sake, to win his enemy, to overcome him with love, that he might see love, and love again, and of love to do likewise to other men, and to overcome them with well doing?
If God promise ritches, the way therto is 1pouertie. Whom he loueth, him he chasteneth: whome he exalteth, he casteth downe: whome he saueth, he damneth first: he bringeth no man to heauen, except he send him to hell first: if he promise life, he slayeth first: when he buildeth, he casteth all downe first: he is no patcher; he can not builde on an other mans foundation: he will not woorke, vntill all be past remedy, and brought vnto such a case, y• men may see, how that his hand, his power, his mercy, his goodnesse, and trueth hath wrought all together: he will let no man be partaker with him of hys prayse, and glorye: his workes are wonderful, and contrary vnto mans workes. Who euer (sauing he) deliuered his owne sonne, his onely sonne, hys deare sonne vnto the death, and that for his enemies sake, to winne his enemye, to ouercomme him with loue, that he might see loue, and loue againe, and of loue to do likewise to other men, and to ouercome them with well doing?
