[ 1344] The Wicked Rich Mans sad condition at the time of Death.
IT is observable,* 1.1 That a Sumpter-horse, or a pack-horse, which all the day long hath gone nodling with abundance of treasure, hath at night all taken from him, and been turn'd a grazing, or put into a stable, so that all the benefit he hath gain'd by it, is, that he hath onely felt the weight of it, and probably got a gall'd back for his labour. Thus many rapacious, wretched, rich Men, such as are little better then pack-horses,* 1.2 that all their lise long carry the things of this World, lade themselves with thick clay, rise early and late, and eat the bread of carefulnesse to get a little pelf, and a gall'd Conscience to boot, are on a sudden either for ill using, or ill getting their wealth, turned (unles••e God be more mer∣cifull) into a filthy stable, into Hell, where their pay is everlasting torment.
