Such as love them too much (though
they came lawfully to them,)
They are alwaies punished with Want of
satisfaction. He that loveth silver, shall not be
satisfied with silver, nor he that loveth abun∣dance
with encrease, Eccels, 5. 10. He that hath
it, and doth not love it, though he cannot be

satisfied BY it, (as he cannot by any thing
besides God,) yet he may be satisfied with
it, that is, have so much as to desire no
more; or, have what hee hath with rest and
content; which he that loves it, never will.
This punishment of not-being satisfied, is a
sore punishment; and it is very usuall with
God to punish wicked men with it; as I
have hinted elsewhere, See also Ezek. 7. 19.
They have cause to feare other punish∣ments
by the hand of God. For Job in the
place last quoted, immediately after those
words, If I made gold my hope (as indeed love
of riches, and confidence in them, more or
lesse, usually goe together; though we doe
not perceive it) added also, If I rejoyced be∣cause
my wealth was great, and because mine
hand had gotten much, vers. 25. See for this
also in Covetousnesse.
