| 1. First, cast out money, for Christ and money do not go well together in one place; if you shut them both up at the same time... (author:) | |
| you will find yourself the possessor of one without the other. The richer you may be in the poor lucre of this world, the more miserably lacking you are in true riches. (title:) | |
| Therefore if money is there, let it retire forthwith into other halls so that Christ may find vacant the cell of your heart. (theme:) | |

| 7. Thus you see we maintain a trade, not for gold, silver, or jewels, nor for silks, nor for spices, nor any other commodity of matter; (author:) | |
| but only for God's first creature, which was light; (title:) | |
| to have light, I say, of the growth of all parts of the world. (theme:) | |
