1 Timothy6:17
Verſe 17. That they be not high-minded] The devil will eaſily blow up this blab, if we watch not. Should the Ant think her ſelf ſome great buſines, becauſe gotten upon her hillock?
In uncertain riches] Riches were never true to any that truſted to them.Mim[illegible: 2 letters]. Vitrea eſt fortuna: cùm ſplendet, frangi[illegible: 1 letter]ur.
Who giveth us all things richly to enjoy] Thus riches cannot do for us. The covetous enjoyes nothing, not the ſick, nor the diſcontented, nor any elſe unleſſe with riches God give us himſelf.
