[ 1384] An uncharitable Rich Man, no Heavenly-minded Man.
VVHen Dionysius the Syracusian Tyrant,* 1.1 saw what heaps of gold and
silver his Son had hoarded up in his Closet; he asked him, What he
meant to let it lie there, and not to make Friends with it to get the Kingdome after his
decease? O fili, non est in te animus regni capax, Son, (sayes he) thou hast not a
spirit capable of a Kingdom.* 1.2 And thus we may safely conclude, Whereso∣ever
we see a wealthy Rich man pilling up his baggs, and purchasing the whole
Country about him, and yet perceive no Works of Charity or Piety in him, that
he is no Heavenly-minded Man, and justly say of him, Non est in illo animus
Regni coelorum capax, He hath not a Soul capable of the Kingdom of Heaven.
