whom he was to dwell, our calling then doth not hinder the lawfull vse of ri∣ches lawfully gotten; for those that were called by the Apostles, did not altogether leaue their possessions, but sold them as well for the vse of others as for their owne, Act. 2. and Abraham as all the Saints may lawful∣ly possesse riches, for they are the gifts of God, the effects of Gods blessings; and the instruments of learning, vertue and almes, yet we must take heed, that our riches bee not vnlawfully gotten. Secondly, they be not abused to luxurie and pride. Thirdly, that we doe not put our confidence in them. Fourthly, that wee doe not hide them, with that vnprofitable seruant, when we should vse them to the comfott of our selues and poore brethren. Fifthly, that we doe still acknow∣ledge God to be the Authour and giuer of them. Sixthly, that whensoeuer occasion serueth, we be ready to leaue them, if God doe so require of vs for the greater aduance∣ment of his glory and true religion, and so it is to be vnderstood that the Apostles forsook all, and they are promised to be highly re∣warded, who leaueth these things for Christs sake. Mat. 19.
