The uncertain comfort in Riches. [ 1759]
CAst but your eye upon a vagrant Fellow,* 1.1 whom because he is big-bon'd and
well limb'd, and able to go through his work, a Man takes in at his doors,
and cherisheth; It may so be, that for a while he takes pains, and plyes his work:
but when he spyes opportunity, the Fugitive servant is gone, and takes away
with him more then all his service came to. Thus the Riches and preferments
of this World may seem to stand a Man in some stead for a season,* 1.2 but at last
they irrecoverably run away, and carry with them all his joyes and worldly com∣forts;
As Iacob stole away Laban's Idols, so they take away the peace and con∣tent
of heart, and leave him desperate.
