1Therefore they laid not aside their avarice, and their immoderate traffic (to use moderately the trade of merchandise without deceitfulness, no religion doeth forbid) and exceeding great riot and pride, neither seemed they to want any thing, but to have and seem to have all things, for that they were rich. Against these men the Lord inveigheth grievously, declaring them to be very miserable, and more than needy & plain beggars. For as in the church of Philadelphia he blamed nothing, so in this he commendeth nothing at all.

1You shall find at this day many like, to whom this is common and ever in their mouth: I have learned both to be a gospeller, and to be a soldier, to drink, to play the whoremonger, and live at pleasure. You shall find like churches, serving both Christ and Mammon, or merchandise, Bacchus, Venus, and God of battle. Both they and all these here are confuted, and are called to repentance. Which argueth, that the mercy of God is greatest, not forsaking nor rejecting so corrupt churches, and men full of so great filthiness.
