Bifhop 48 ^PERSUASIVE to Bifhop of Chefter, that I fhall fpare my pains, and only tranfcribe what I find upon this Head in his Treatife of the 'Principles of Natural Religion, Lib. X. Cap. 4. The Word Riches is capable of a two- fold fenfe. C Abfolute^ | Relative. i. In the more abfolute fenfe it may be defined to confitt in fuch a meafure of. E- ftate, as may be fufficient to ferve a Man's occafions and conveniencies ; when his Pof- feffions are fo proportioned as fully to anfvver all the nece...ffities of his condition, and af- ford him a comfortable fubfiitence accord- ing to his Quality, and the ftation wherein he is placed. In which fenfe men of all ranks and degrees are capable of being rich. A Husbandman or an ordinary Tradef- man may as truly be ftyled a Rich Man, as a Gentleman, a Lord, or a King.
