"The rich man's wealth is his strong city, and as an high wall in his own conceit;" but "the name of the Lord is a strong tower/' Prov. Xviii. II, 10. Hence we call you not to vexation and turmoil, but from it; and as St Paul said, Acts xvii. 23, " Whom ye ignorantly worship, him declare I unto you. " Ye blindly and fruitlessly seek after the show.
