enter_v into_o the_o kingdom_n of_o god_n and_o again_o in_o the_o self_n same_o place_n that_o it_o be_v hard_o for_o a_o rich_a man_n to_o enter_v into_o the_o kingdom_n of_o heaven_n i_o marvel_v that_o the_o rich_a man_n of_o these_o our_o day_n do_v no_o better_o look_v unto_o it_o than_o many_o of_o they_o do_v especial_o such_o as_o have_v the_o substance_n of_o this_o world_n in_o such_o superfluity_n and_o abundance_n as_o they_o have_v for_o be_v it_o not_o upon_o great_a reason_n that_o our_o saviour_n do_v so_o say_v see_v that_o the_o desire_n of_o money_n be_v the_o root_n of_o all_o evil_a and_o they_o that_o will_v be_v rich_a fall_n into_o temptation_n and_o snare_n and_o into_o many_o foolish_a and_o noisome_a lust_n which_o drown_v man_n in_o perdition_n &_o destruction_n as_o we_o may_v easy_o see_v &_o perceive_v both_o by_o the_o manifold_a vanity_n they_o do_v embrace_v and_o maintain_v as_o also_o by_o the_o sundry_a wickedness_n and_o corruption_n they_o do_v commit_v through_o the_o power_n and_o strength_n i_o will_v say_v the_o vain_a hope_n &_o confidence_n they_o have_v in_o their_o wealth_n some_o building_n babel_n or_o tower_n of_o confusion_n some_o heap_v up_o mydaes_n mountain_n and_o can_v tell_v who_o shall_v inherit_v or_o dispend_v they_o some_o as_o dives_fw-la in_o vanity_n of_o apparel_n some_o in_o superfluity_n of_o meat_n wine_n drink_n &c_n &c_n some_o in_o hawk_v hunt_a cockfighting_n bear-baiting_a dice_a dance_v and_o other_o in_o tobacco_n take_v dispend_v their_o revenue_n or_o the_o great_a part_n thereof_o for_o what_o be_v it_o to_o see_v a_o young_a man_n of_o twenty_o four_o year_n healthy_a in_o body_n sound_v in_o constitution_n to_o dispend_v a_o hundred_o mark_n per_fw-la annum_fw-la in_o tobacco_n when_o as_o his_o father_n grandfather_n &_o whole_a generation_n before_o he_o happy_o never_n in_o all_o their_o time_n spend_v one_o farthing_n that_o way_n what_o a_o vanity_n be_v it_o then_o for_o a_o man_n to_o spend_v so_o much_o that_o way_n without_o the_o which_o he_o may_v live_v well_o enough_o beside_o if_o a_o man_n shall_v rip_v up_o the_o treachery_n and_o treason_n that_o have_v be_v from_o time_n to_o time_n complot_v among_o the_o rich_a sort_n we_o shall_v find_v it_o most_o true_a that_o solomon_n say_v pro._n 10_o 16._o the_o labour_n of_o the_o righteous_a tend_v to_o life_n but_o the_o revenue_n of_o the_o wicked_a to_o sin_n as_o if_o he_o will_v say_v more_o plain_o the_o wicked_a spend_v all_o their_o land_n rent_n revenue_n &_o live_n for_o the_o most_o part_n in_o evil_a &_o ungodly_a way_n 1._o in_o one_o kind_n of_o vanity_n or_o other_o such_o as_o i_o have_v show_v which_o how_o true_a it_o fall_v out_o in_o these_o day_n who_o see_v not_o among_o all_o which_o wickedness_n vanity_n or_o sin_n there_o be_v not_o a_o great_a in_o my_o opinion_n than_o this_o that_o be_v here_o mention_v in_o this_o sentence_n follow_v he_o that_o with_o draw_v the_o corn_n the_o people_n will_v curse_v etc._n etc._n for_o how_o be_v it_o that_o other_o vanity_n and_o corruption_n do_v bring_v destruction_n to_o the_o doer_n thereof_o and_o to_o some_o few_o of_o their_o posterity_n this_o reach_v further_a even_o to_o the_o whole_a multitude_n or_o number_n of_o the_o poor_a which_o be_v so_o infinite_a that_o it_o can_v easy_o be_v

then_o high_a time_n it_o be_v for_o the_o great_a one_o of_o this_o world_n the_o great_a rich_a divese_n i_o mean_v that_o spend_v so_o many_o pound_n and_o penny_n in_o mere_a vanity_n in_o effect_v or_o bring_v to_o pass_v so_o many_o great_a &_o grievous_a corruption_n as_o many_o of_o they_o do_v to_o look_v &_o consider_v with_o themselves_o in_o time_n what_o will_v be_v the_o end_n of_o all_o this_o verilye_o none_o other_o then_o what_o be_v express_v in_o this_o proverb_n &_o sentence_n of_o solomon_n here_o follow_v first_o that_o they_o shall_v but_o gain_v the_o curse_n of_o the_o people_n second_o of_o god_n for_o the_o prevent_n and_o avoid_v of_o both_o which_o i_o have_v think_v good_a to_o give_v this_o admonition_n to_o all_o that_o have_v their_o eye_n open_a i_o mean_v any_o spark_n of_o grace_n that_o they_o may_v yet_o in_o time_n bethink_v themselves_o and_o turn_v to_o the_o lord_n from_o their_o evil_a way_n be_v counsel_v therefore_o oye_v rich_a &_o receive_v the_o word_n of_o exhortation_n make_v friend_n of_o your_o unrighteous_a mammon_n sell_v that_o you_o have_v and_o give_v alm_n for_o what_o avantage_v it_o a_o man_n to_o win_v the_o whole_a world_n and_o to_o loose_v his_o own_o soul_n attend_v unto_o the_o voice_n of_o he_o that_o once_o say_a woe_n be_v unto_o you_o rich_a for_o you_o have_v your_o consolation_n wherefore_o learn_v to_o suffer_v some_o affliction_n here_o in_o this_o life_n that_o you_o be_v not_o afflict_v in_o the_o world_n to_o come_v we_o be_v teach_v in_o the_o word_n of_o god_n to_o bear_v one_o another_o burden_n bear_v you_o therefore_o some_o part_n of_o this_o cross_n with_o your_o poor_a brother_n that_o be_v so_o hard_o press_v with_o penury_n dearth_n and_o famine_n bethink_v with_o yourselves_o how_o many_o good_a duty_n you_o have_v be_v call_v unto_o how_o many_o good_a occasion_n have_v be_v minister_v and_o how_o many_o by_o you_o omit_v of_o every_o of_o which_o you_o shall_v be_v sure_o one_o day_n to_o give_v a_o account_n but_o yet_o i_o think_v i_o hear_v the_o voice_n of_o christ_n say_v in_o my_o ear_n it_o be_v easy_a for_o a_o camel_n to_o go_v through_o the_o eye_n of_o a_o needle_n then_o for_o a_o rich_a man_n to_o enter_v into_o the_o kingdom_n of_o heaven_n yea_o but_o what_o do_v the_o rich_a man_n plead_v for_o themselves_o in_o this_o case_n name_o thus_o that_o although_o it_o be_v unpossible_a with_o man_n yet_o not_o unpossible_a with_o god_n well_o i_o grant_v it_o yet_o i_o say_v be_v it_o not_o better_o for_o a_o man_n to_o make_v his_o election_n sure_a and_o certain_a unto_o he_o then_o to_o stand_v upon_o possibility_n we_o common_o say_v better_o be_v one_o bird_n in_o hand_n then_o two_o in_o the_o bush_n so_o i_o say_v it_o be_v far_o better_o for_o man_n to_o make_v their_o election_n sure_a by_o do_v of_o good_a work_n while_o space_n &_o grace_n be_v offer_v then_o with_o the_o five_o foolish_a virgin_n to_o run_v up_o and_o down_o from_o one_o to_o another_o to_o buy_v oil_n for_o their_o lamp_n when_o none_o can_v be_v have_v for_o any_o money_n who_o know_v not_o that_o there_o be_v nothing_o impossible_a with_o god_n christ_n save_v the_o thief_n upon_o the_o gallows_n repent_v that_o be_v one_o of_o his_o possibility_n to_o approve_v himself_o to_o be_v god_n but_o shall_v man_n therefore_o play_v the_o thief_n all_o the_o day_n of_o their_o life_n and_o rob_v god_n of_o his_o honour_n as_o many_o do_v the_o poor_a of_o their_o good_n and_o say_v nothing_o be_v unpossible_a with_o god_n be_v not_o this_o rather_o to_o tempt_v god_n then_o to_o serve_v he_o to_o resist_v the_o lord_n then_o to_o obey_v he_o he_o so_o daily_o call_v upon_o they_o by_o the_o doctrine_n of_o his_o word_n to_o be_v liberal_a to_o be_v merciful_a to_o be_v love_v kind_a and_o natural_o affect_v one_o towards_o another_o and_o yet_o it_o can_v be_v obtain_v at_o our_o hand_n nor_o wring_v

the_o wrath_n of_o the_o lord_n who_o will_v reward_v everye_o man_n according_a unto_o his_o work_n which_o one_o find_v of_o the_o lord_n trumpet_n be_v sufficient_a to_o make_v a_o breach_n in_o
