Job27:16
Verſe 16. Though he heap up ſilver as the duſt] Silver and Gold, what are they elſe but white and red Earth, the guts and garbage of the Earth, as one ſaith? Yet how greedy of them and gripple after them are many much-worms, heaping apriches, and not knowing who ſhall gather them, Pſal 39.6? laying up, as if their lives were riveted upon eternity: or were ſure to leave it to their Children, who yet ſhall never enjoy it. This is a great vanity, ſaith Solomon; and yet ſuch duſt-heapes as theſe, are to be found in every corner.
And prepare raiment as the clay] Tantum veſtium quantum eſt luti, ſaith Va [illegible: 1 letter]ablus, that he have as great ſtore of ſuits in his wardrobe, as he hath dirt in his ditches.
