John Trapp on Psalms 62:10

Verſ. 10. Truſt not in oppreſſion, &c.] In the fail of Perſons, ſome may think that Things may be truſted to, as Wealth, Wit, Power, &c. but eſpecially Wealth, 1 Tim. 6.17. Truſt not to that, ſaith the Pſalmiſt, whether it be ill or well gotten, unleſs you covet to be deceived: for Firſt, he who getteth riches and not by right ſhall leave them in the middeſt of his days, and is his end be a [illegible: 1 letter]ool, a poor fool God will make of him, Jer. 17.11. Male parta wa[illegible: 1 letter]e dilabentur.

If riches increaſe] Though by means lawful and laudable, though they come in at the ſtreet door,Policrat. l. 8. c. 4. and not at a poſtern (Non minimum felicitatis argumentum Metello fuit bona multa bono modo inveniſſe:) yet

Set not your heart upon them] Place not your felicity in them, think not your ſelves ſimply the better, or the ſafer, for them. Be not puffed up with outward things, as a bubble with a Childes blaſt in a Walnut-ſhel, when he hath in it a little Sope: Wilt thou cauſe thine eyes to fly upon that which is not? Prov. 23.5. An Eagle will not catch Flies (that is no Game for her) much leſs will ſhe make a flight at nothing, when there is no Game ſprung at all. He is the true rich man, who loveth his riches poorly, ſaith one.
