^{2 a} He sheweth that it is the plague of God when the riche man hathe not a liberal heart to vse his riches.

^{3 c} As we se often times, that the couetous man ether falleth into crimes that deserue death, or is murthered or drowned or hangeth him self or suche like & so lacke the honour of buryal which is the last office of humanitie.

^{3 b} If he can neuer haue ynough.

^{4 d} Meaning, the vntimelie frute whose life did nether profite or hurt anie.

^{7 e} His desire & affection.

^{8 f} That knoweth to vse his goods wel in the judgement of men.

^{9 g} To be content with that which God hathe giuen, is better then to followe the desires that neuer can be satisfied.

^{10 h} Meaning, God who wil make him to fele that he is mortal.
