Riches.
From Divinity and Morality in Robes of Poetry ([1660?])
Social Commentaries
LAbour not to be rich, Wealth is a rod,
You cannot serve at once Mammon and God.
The Love of God doth not in that soule move,
Who for this World forsakes the God of Love.
Wo to yee Rich, where will yee seek Salvation,
When God sayes yee have had your Consolation?
