The first fruit, is wealth or riches, to wit spiritual.1 For the word and faith is not a false imagination, and a vain dream of things most excellent. For he that believeth the word feeleth joy in his heart, and enjoyeth spiritual gifts: And possessing Christ, through faith possesseth all goodness. Whereupon also the Apostle in the first chapt. of the first epistle to the Corinth. said: I give thanks to my God always for you, for the grace of God that is given you in Christ Jesus because you are in all things enriched by him, in every word, and in all knowledge (like as the testimony of Christ is confirmed in you.) In so much that you are not destitute in any gift. &c. Let them mark well these things, which think worldly ⟨p. 132⟩goods to be true rich. These fools shall be judged of the wisdom of God, as it is manifest in the .12. cha. of S. Luke. And besides this, they that are destitute of the light of God his word, and lack faith, can not use rightly nor well these earthly riches. Therefore heavenly riches, are the true riches.
