He that diligently seeketh good To do good to all men, as he hath opportunity; which is opposed to a man's contenting himself with lazy desires, or cold and careless endeavours; procureth favour With God and men; but he that seeketh mischief To do any mischief or injury to others; it shall come unto him It shall be requited, either by men's malice and revenge, or by God's just judgment. He that trusteth in his riches As his protection, or portion and felicity; shall fall As a withered leaf; but the righteous Who make God alone, and not riches, the ground of their confidence, and source of their happiness; shall flourish as a branch Namely, a green and fruitful branch.
