The spirituall benefit of Poverty. [ 1447]
THe Naturalists, such as write concerning the several Climates, observe;
that such as live under the Frozen Zone, in the Northern parts of the World,
if you bring them to the Southward, they lose their stomachs and die quickly,
but those that live in the more Southern hot Climates, bring them into the
North, and their stomachs mend, and they are long lived: Thus bring a man
from the cold starving Climate of Poverty, into the hot Southern Climate of Prospe∣rity, and he begins to lose his appetite to good things, he grows weak, and a
thousand to one, if all his Religion do not dye; but bring a Christian from the
South to the North, from a rich flourishing estate into a jejune low Condition, let him
come into a more cola and hungry ayre, and then his stomach mends, he hath a
better appetite after Heavenly things, he hungers more after Christ, he thirsts
more after Grace, he eats more of the bread of life at one meal then he did at six
before, and such a Man is like to live, and hold out in the way of Gods Com∣mandements
to the end.
