good_a for_o we_o as_o the_o nurse_n know_v better_a than_o the_o child_n when_o the_o milk_n be_v ready_a for_o it_o therefore_o christ_n say_v in_o matthew_n 6._o 32_o 32._o your_o heavenly_a father_n know_v what_o you_o have_v need_n of_o he_o say_v not_o that_o we_o know_v what_o we_o have_v need_n of_o but_o that_o our_o father_n know_v as_o if_o he_o shall_v say_v when_o you_o have_v need_n of_o health_n your_o father_n will_v send_v you_o health_n when_o you_o have_v need_n of_o riches_n your_o father_n will_v send_v you_o riches_n when_o you_o have_v need_n of_o liberty_n your_o father_n will_v send_v you_o liberty_n for_o he_o say_v not_o only_o that_o his_o father_n know_v what_o we_o have_v need_n of_o 11._o but_o that_o he_o will_v give_v we_o the_o thing_n which_o we_o need_v matth._n 7._o verse_n 11._o therefore_o as_o child_n take_v no_o care_n for_o their_o apparel_n what_o clothes_n they_o shall_v wear_v nor_o for_o their_o victual_n what_o meat_n they_o shall_v eat_v but_o leave_v this_o care_n for_o their_o father_n so_o say_v christ_n 31._o take_v you_o no_o care_n for_o my_o father_n care_v for_o you_o 22_o he_o be_v not_o content_a to_o call_v godliness_n gain_v but_o he_o call_v it_o great_a gain_n as_o if_o he_o will_v say_v gain_n and_o more_o than_o gain_n riches_n and_o better_a than_o riches_n a_o kingdom_n and_o great_a than_o a_o kingdom_n as_o when_o the_o prophet_n will_v distinguish_v between_o the_o idol_n god_n and_o the_o live_a god_n they_o call_v he_o the_o great_a god_n so_o the_o gain_n of_o godliness_n be_v call_v great_a gain_n 17._o the_o riches_n of_o the_o world_n be_v call_v earthly_a 7._o transitory_a 9_o snare_n thorn_n dung_n as_o though_o they_o be_v not_o worthy_a to_o be_v count_v riches_n 1._o and_o therefore_o to_o draw_v the_o earnest_a love_n of_o man_n from_o they_o the_o holy-ghost_n bring_v they_o in_o with_o such_o name_n of_o disdain_n to_o disgrace_v they_o with_o their_o lover_n but_o when_o he_o come_v to_o godliness_n 15._o which_o be_v the_o riches_n of_o the_o soul_n 13._o he_o call_v it_o great_a riches_n heavenly_a riches_n 18._o unsearchable_a riches_n everlasting_a riches_n with_o all_o the_o name_n of_o honour_n and_o all_o the_o name_n of_o pleasure_n and_o all_o the_o name_n of_o happiness_n as_o a_o woman_n trimme_n and_o deck_v herself_o with_o a_o hundred_o ornament_n only_o to_o make_v her_o amiable_a so_o the_o holy-ghost_n set_v out_o godliness_n with_o name_n of_o honour_n &_o name_n of_o pleasure_n 1._o and_o name_n of_o happiness_n as_o it_o be_v in_o her_o jewel_n with_o letter_n of_o commendation_n to_o make_v she_o to_o be_v belove_v lest_o any_o riches_n shall_v compare_v with_o godliness_n he_o give_v it_o a_o name_n above_o other_o and_o call_v it_o great_a riches_n as_o if_o he_o will_v make_v a_o distinction_n between_o riches_n and_o riches_n between_o the_o gain_n of_o covetousness_n &_o the_o gain_n of_o godliness_n the_o peace_n of_o the_o world_n and_o the_o peace_n of_o conscience_n the_o joy_n of_o riches_n and_o the_o joy_n of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n the_o worldly_a man_n have_v a_o kind_n of_o peace_n and_o joy_n and_o riches_n but_o i_o can_v call_v it_o great_a because_o they_o have_v not_o enough_o they_o be_v not_o content_v as_o the_o godly_a be_v therefore_o only_a godliness_n have_v this_o honour_n to_o be_v call_v great_a riches_n the_o gain_n of_o covetousness_n be_v nothing_o but_o wealth_n but_o the_o gain_n of_o godliness_n be_v wealth_n and_o peace_n and_o joy_n and_o love_n of_o god_n and_o the_o remission_n of_o sin_n and_o everlasting_a life_n therefore_o only_a godliness_n have_v this_o honour_n to_o be_v call_v great_a gain_n riches_n make_v bate_v 6._o but_o godliness_n make_v peace_n riches_n breed_v covetousness_n but_o godliness_n bring_v contentation_n riches_n make_v man_n unwilling_a to_o die_v but_o godliness_n make_v man_n ready_a to_o die_v riches_n often_o hurt_v the_o owner_n but_o godliness_n profit_v the_o owner_n and_o other_o therefore_o only_a godliness_n have_v this_o honour_n to_o be_v call_v great_a riches_n such_o gain_n such_o joy_n such_o peace_n be_v in_o godliness_n and_o yet_o no_o man_n covet_v it_o for_o this_o be_v the_o quality_n of_o virtue_n it_o seem_v nothing_o unto_o a_o man_n until_o he_o have_v it_o as_o solomon_n say_v of_o the_o buyer_n while_o he_o be_v in_o buy_v he_o dispraise_v the_o thing_n which_o he_o buy_v 14._o and_o say_v it_o be_v naught_o it_o be_v not_o worth_a the_o price_n which_o you_o ask_v but_o when_o he_o have_v buy_v it_o so_o soon_o as_o he_o be_v go_v he_o boast_v of_o his_o peni_fw-la worth_n and_o say_v it_o be_v better_a than_o his_o money_n so_o godliness_n before_o a_o man_n have_v it_o he_o say_v it_o be_v not_o worth_a his_o labour_n and_o think_v every_o hour_n too_o much_o that_o he_o spend_v about_o it_o but_o when_o he_o have_v find_v it_o he_o will_v not_o lose_v it_o again_o for_o all_o the_o world_n because_o he_o be_v now_o come_v to_o that_o which_o follow_v to_o be_v content_v with_o that_o he_o have_v here_o paul_n show_v with_o what_o a_o man_n shall_v be_v content_v not_o with_o a_o thousand_o pound_n nor_o a_o hundred_o pound_n nor_o twenty_o pound_n but_o with_o that_o he_o have_v and_o there_o be_v great_a reason_n why_o he_o shall_v so_o because_o no_o man_n know_v what_o be_v fit_a for_o he_o so_o well_o as_o his_o carver_n and_o therefore_o every_o one_o shall_v esteem_v so_o reverent_o of_o god_n that_o he_o think_v nothing_o better_o for_o he_o for_o that_o present_a time_n than_o that_o which_o god_n measure_v forth_o unto_o he_o for_o when_o christ_n have_v no_o money_n he_o be_v content_v and_o when_o he_o want_v money_n to_o pay_v tribute_n 87_o he_o send_v for_o no_o more_o than_o he_o need_v he_o may_v have_v command_v twenty_o pound_n as_o well_o as_o twenty_o penny_n but_o to_o show_v that_o we_o shall_v desire_v no_o more_o than_o will_v serve_v our_o turn_n he_o will_v have_v no_o more_o than_o serve_v his_o turn_n now_o because_o contentation_n be_v of_o such_o a_o nature_n that_o it_o can_v please_v itself_o with_o poverty_n as_o well_o as_o riches_n therefore_o it_o be_v call_v the_o great_a gain_n as_o though_o it_o have_v all_o which_o it_o want_v and_o this_o contentment_n say_v the_o apostle_n paul_n we_o owe_v to_o godliness_n because_o it_o be_v not_o possible_a for_o a_o wicked_a man_n to_o be_v content_v for_o as_o he_o be_v not_o satisfy_v with_o sin_n so_o he_o be_v satisfy_v with_o nothing_o riches_n come_v and_o yet_o the_o man_n be_v not_o please_v honour_n come_v and_o yet_o the_o man_n be_v not_o please_v liberty_n come_v &_o yet_o the_o man_n be_v not_o please_v pleasure_n come_v and_o yet_o the_o man_n be_v not_o please_v until_o god_n come_v 6._o and_o then_o he_o say_v my_o cup_n be_v full_a show_v we_o thy_o father_n say_v philip_n and_o it_o suffice_v john_n 14._o 7._o nay_o show_v

godly_a man_n have_v find_v that_o which_o all_o the_o world_n do_v seek_v that_o be_v enough_o every_o word_n may_v be_v define_v and_o every_o thing_n may_v be_v measure_v but_o enough_o can_v be_v measure_v nor_o define_v it_o change_v every_o year_n when_o we_o have_v nothing_o we_o think_v it_o enough_o if_o we_o may_v obtain_v less_o than_o we_o have_v when_o we_o come_v to_o more_o we_o think_v of_o another_o enough_o now_o we_o have_v more_o we_o dream_v of_o another_o enough_o so_o enough_o be_v always_o to_o come_v though_o too_o much_o be_v there_o already_o for_o as_o oil_n kindle_v the_o fire_n which_o it_o seem_v to_o quench_v so_o riches_n come_v as_o though_o they_o will_v make_v a_o man_n content_v and_o make_v a_o man_n more_o covetous_a therefore_o see_v contentation_n be_v never_o find_v in_o riches_n the_o apostle_n reach_v to_o seek_v it_o in_o godliness_n say_v godliness_n be_v riches_n as_o though_o it_o do_v not_o only_o make_v a_o man_n content_v but_o make_v a_o man_n content_v with_o itself_o he_o speak_v as_o though_o he_o have_v find_v a_o new_a kind_n of_o riches_n which_o the_o world_n never_o think_v of_o that_o be_v of_o such_o a_o nature_n that_o they_o will_v satisfy_v a_o man_n like_o the_o water_n that_o christ_n speak_v of_o 13._o he_o that_o drink_v of_o this_o water_n shall_v thirst_v no_o more_o so_o they_o that_o taste_v of_o these_o riches_n shall_v covet_v no_o more_o 2._o but_o as_o the_o holy_a ghost_n fill_v all_o the_o house_n so_o
