Grace and Goods Together
Riches well used bring grace in estimation before men, for they are unable men to show forth godliness, and to pass on their time with more comfort, and to countenance and defend their their
poor Christian brethren in well-doing. Therefore, if grace and goods go together, thou hast great cause to bless God: for it is a most happy estate, to be rich towards the world, and to God too, to be rich body and soul: But although this is a very rare estate, yet we see that they may meet together: and therefore we may not think that he which is rich, cannot be religious. True it is, that it is hard for a rich man to enter the Kingdom of Heaven; but it is not impossible.
