§. 5.

It is no maruaile (saith Aurelius) though* 1.1 hee bee good, which is not couetous, but it were a vvonder to see a couetous man good.

For, great abundance of gold and siluer,* 1.2 cannot of any man, be both gathered and kept without sinne.

To delight in riches, is a foule and dan∣gerous* 1.3 vice, but to be a bond-slaue to co∣uetousnes, is the confusion of a mans own soule.
