Iesus saide vnto his disciples, * 1.1 There was a certaine rich man which had a steward, and the same was accused vnto him that hee had wasted his goods. And he called him, and sayd vnto him, How is it that I heare this of thee? Giue accompts of thy steward ship, for thou mayest be no longer Steward. The Steward said within himselfe, What shall I doe? For my master taketh a∣way from me the Stewardship. I cannot dig, & to beg I am
ashamed. I wote what to doe, that when I am put out of the stewardship, they may receiue me into their houses. So when he had called all his masters debters together, he sayd vnto the first, How much owest thou vnto my master? And he sayd, An hundred tunnes of oile. And he sayd vnto him, Take thy bill, and sit downe quickely, and write fiftie. Then said he to anothers, How much owest thou? And he sayd, An hundred quarters of wheate. Hee sayd vnto him, Take thy bill, and write foure score. And the Lord commended the vn∣iust Steward, because he had done wisely. For the children of this worlde are in their nation wiser then the children of light. And I say vnto you, make you friends of the vnrigh∣teous Mammon, that when yee shall haue neede, they may receiue you into euerlasting habitations.
Luke 16.1.
