He that gathereth treasure with a tounge full of lies, is vainglorious and foolishe, and at the last shall fall into the halters of death.
That rich man is blessed, that is found without blemishe, & that foloweth not richesse, nor putteth his trust in money & treasure. Let see who is he, and we will commende him. For in his lyfe he hath done wonders
They that wolde be ryche do fall into temptacion, and the snare of the diuell, also into many vnprofytable and harm∣full desires, which drowne men in death and pardicion.
Commaund thou the rich men of this worlde, that they presume not to highly, nor trust to the vncertaintie of their ri∣chesse, but to doe well in god, that liueth euer. whiche geueth vs abundantly all thinges to vse at our libertie, and to bee riche in good woorkes, and to geue gen∣tilly, to participate with other, and to make with their treasure a good foun∣dacion for the time comminge, for attai∣ning to the life, which is very certaine.
