Matthew Poole and continuators on 1 Timothy 6:9

9 But they that will be rich fall into temptation, and a snare , and into many foolish and hurtful lusts , which drown men in destruction and perdition .

Or, for.

They who out of a covetous and immoderate desire of being rich in this Worlds Goods, will use any arts, and do any unlawful thing without any just regard to the Law of God.

Fall into many temptations and snares, are exposed to impetuous inclinations and motions to that which is evil, and may and will be snares to their Souls.

Kindling in them many foolish and pernicious desires contrary to the Law of God, which

have a direct tendency to the eternal ruine of their Souls not to be prevented but by the force and powerful Grace of God.
