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 Sol.
