323. Я приведу здесь соответствующие места на английском языке, в том же порядке, в каком я их в извлечениях привел в тексте: «Now little do the wealth and honours of the world concern a soul than is going into another world, and knows not but it may be this night. Then keep the wealth or take it with thee, if thou canst» (Baxter. Christ Dir. (1670), 218). «Labour to feel they greates wants, which wordly wealth will not supply» (Ibid.). «Thou art dead in sin and polluted and captivated by the flesh and money will sooner encrease the bondage than deriver thee» (Ibid.). «Will honest poverty or over — loved wealth be sweater at last?» (Ibid.). «Remember tha Riches do make it much harder for a man to be saved» (Ibid.).

Сократ in Laert: deis maximo propinquus qui minimus egeat. 1. c., 1. 217. 1. Tim. 6, 10: the Love of monye is the root of all evil. Do you believe that here lyeth the danger of your souls? and yet can you so love and choose and seek it)-«World liness makes the Word unprofitable and keepeth men from believing and repetine and coming to God and minding seriously the everlasting world».

What so much hindereth the Conversion of sinners, as the love and cares of earthly things? They cannot serve God and Mammon (1. 220). «In a word as you heard, the love of money is the root of all evils, and the love of the Father is not in the lovers of the world» (ibid.). «Remember that riches are not part of your felicity. Less, remember that riches are not the smallest temptation and danger to your Souls. It is not for nothing that Christ giveth so many terrible warnings about Riches and so desoribeth the folly, the danger and misery of the worlds rich… and teleht you how hardly the rich are saved» (Ch. XXVIII, II).

324. «…he that is greedy of gain, troubleth his own house, but he that hateth gain, shall live.

Христос был нищим. — «In Christ did scrape and care for Riches, then so do thou: in he thought it the happiest life, do thou think so too. But if he contemmed it do thou contemnit».

325. «When men are not content with food and payment, but would still heap up more, it is just with God go leave them not so much bread: and to suffer men to have an evil eye upon them and to pluck at them, even so long as they have meat». Hutcheson, Exposition of the book of Job. p. 296. «Ye may seek more, if he will be rich, and will have superfluities then ye shall fall into many temptations, snares and hurtful lusts which shall drown you in perdition…» (Binning, Sermons, 3, 359).

Buckle, Gesch. der Civ. 2^, 388. «And certainly to crave and be desirous of more than what is competent for the main tenance and support of our lives, is both inconsistent with the dependence and subjection we owe to God, and do h also bespeak a great deal of vanity, folly and inconsiderateness.». Cockburns.
