Coveteousness

| Friday, January 12, 2007




Covetousness, the cutthroat of grace, and canker of the soul, like an eating, insatiable wolf, will either still feed upon gain, or else gnaw upon the heart with fretting… The Father of spirits hath inspired into our immortal souls a large capacity, and such an infinite appetite, that no finite excellency, created comfort, or earthly thing can possibly fill. Gold, silver, riches, honours, crowns, kingdoms, are no fit matter or adequate object for such an immaterial and heaven-born spirit to repose and feed upon, with final rest and full contentment. [Robert Bolton]
