Object. 2 Oh, but what good shall a man get by parting with his goods? Sol. They shall receive him into everlasting habitations: 1they, that is, either the Angels, or the Poor, or thy Riches shall let thee into heaven; even to sure dwelling places: and this should move the rich; because the time will come when thou shalt want, and all the riches in the world cannot help thee.

Object. 3 Oh, but a man may be saved and enjoy these everlasting habitations, though he do not so part with his riches.1 Sol. He cannot: for, a man cannot be saved without Grace, and God will never trust him with Grace (the true treasure) that is not faithful in bestowing riches:2 and good reason; for, if God gave a wicked worldling grace, he would never be faithful in using it: for, he that is unjust in the least, that is, Riches, would be unjust in much, that is, Grace.
Obiect. 3 Oh, but a man may bee saued and enioy these euerlasting habitations, though hee doe not so part with his riches.1
