Quotes
God calls not a man to trust in himself, to make riches his aim and end, to seek excess, superfluity and abundance, to live deliciously, to satisfy his lusts and pleasures; our aim must be God's glory and the public good, and then God will cast riches upon us as our wages.
A Remedy against Covetousnes (London: B. A and T. F. for Michaell Sparke, 1632), p. 44
