Epig. 84. Against Couetous-Men .
Sell all that thou hast, and giue it to the Poore.
Ah, Killing-Letter, Out-Alas,
What's this? thus Diues cryes;
What meanes the Holy-Ghost? sayes hee,
Sell All? can such be wise?
What meanes the Holy-Ghost? Thou Wretch,
He meanes, what Thou ne're thought;
He will Giue All vnto the Poore,
And thou wilt Giue them Nought.
