CHAPTER XIII. The poetical works of John and Charles Wesley | ||
338.
[What harm to raise a fortune fair]
The deceitfulness of riches, choke the word.
—xiii. 22.
What harm to raise a fortune fair,
What harm a fortune fair to' increase?
The lust of gold, the thorns of care
Choke every seed of righteousness:
273
We cloke our covetous desire,
We justify our gainful sin,
Till Satan pays his slaves their hire.
