1But they which defend this kind of play are wont to say: What if we will so bestow our money? Are we not Lords of our own things? We do no wrong to our neighbour, we take not away other mens goods. These things have they continually in their mouth. But they ought to understand, that it is the duty of the Magistrate, to see that every man use his own things well. Farther we must consider more deeply that God gave unto these money, wherewith they might have to nourish their family, and to help the poor, and not to caste them to chance, and put them to the slipperiness of Fortune. Farther it behoveth and especially Christians to represent the image of God: who governeth and ruleth all things with reason. But so to consume money, is not to be a Lord over his own things, but a tyrant. This also mayst thou add hereunto, if any thing be gotten by this means, the same both is, and also is called, filthy gain.

Farther we must cōsider more deepely that God gaue vnto these money, wherewith they might haue to noorishe their family, and to helpe the poore, and not to caste them to chaūce, and put them to the slippernes of Fortune. Farther it behoueth and especially Christians to represent the image of God: who gouerneth and ruleth all thynges with reason. But so to consume money, is not to be a Lord ouer his own things, but a tyranne. This also mayst thou adde hereunto, if any thing be gotten by this meanes, the same both is, and also is called, filthy gayne.
