[ 1421] Things of the World, not to be so highly prised.
IT is a Rabbinical conceit, that Moses being a Child, had Pharaoh's crown
given him to play withall,* 1.1 and he made no better then a Football of it, cast
it down to the ground, and kick'd it about; as if it were a sign of his future
vilipending temporall things, That he should esteem the reproach of Christ, greater
then all the Treasures of Egypt.* 1.2 Thus ought we all to do, (especially when Ri∣ches
stand in compettion with Christ) away with them, or they will make away
with us.* 1.3 It is Christ's own Counsell, Sell all thou hast and give it to the poor; sell
it; or if no Man will buy it, give it: Or if no Man will take it, leave it; It
is not worth thy keeping,* 1.4 especially not worth thy carking; do thou part from it,
rather then it shall part thee from Christ; For he that impoverisheth his Soul to
enrich his body, is more mad then he that kills his Horse to ••ose his Money
at a race.
