Lust Hath These Three Companions: The First,

Who Is The Covetous Man? One For Whom Plenty Is Not Enough.

You Can See That A City Is Prosperous By The Wealth Of Goods For Sale In The Market. Land Too We Call Prosperous If It Bears Rich Fruit. And So Also The Soul May Be Counted Prosperous If It Is Full Of Good Works Of Every Kind.

When Someone Steals Another's Clothes, We Call Them A Thief. Should We Not Give The Same Name To One Who Could Clothe The Naked And Does Not? The Bread In Your Cupboard Belongs To The Hungry; The Coat Unused In Your Closet Belongs To The One Who Needs It; The Shoes Rotting In Your Closet Belong To The One Who Has No Shoes; The Money Which You Hoard Up Belongs To The Poor.

It Is Right To Submit To A Higher Authority Whenever A Command Of God Would Be Violated.

All Of Us Who Desire The Kingdom Of God Are, By The Lord's Decree, Under An Equal And Rigorous Necessity Of Seeking After The Grace Of Baptism.
