叮嚀斯世富人、不可驕傲；財富無常、未足恃也。所可恃者、惟天主耳。天主慨然以萬物賜予吾人、俾得充量享受者、

若夫孳孳為利之人、徒自陷於誘惑、墮入羅網、顛冥昏昧、縱情恣慾、終至沉溺淪亡而後已。信哉、貪財乃萬惡之根也。頗有因求財之故、而離棄正道流入岐途、終至自求辛螫、百慮刺心者焉。

內有世俗之憂慮、貨利之迷惑、嗜欲之萌動、相與交攻於中、而壅塞其道、宜其不實也；

有落荊棘中者、荊棘叢生、卒被掩蔽；

一身不能兼事二主、不嫉此而愛彼、必附此而棄彼矣。天主之與財富、兩者固不能並事也。故吾語爾、毋庸岌岌於何食何飲以養生、何衣以蔽體。夫生不貴於食、體不貴於衣乎？

其播於棘中者、聞道之後、世慮縈懷、利慾熏心、遂壅塞其道、乃至無實。

人子降臨之日、一如諾亞之日、當時人方飲食婚嫁、平適如恆、至諾亞一入方舟、洪水倏至、而盡滅之。又如羅德之日、人方飲食貿易、樹藝建築、晏如也。至羅德一離索多瑪、硫火即自天降而盡滅之。人子顯臨之日、亦復如是。

又設一喻曰：『有植鳳菓樹於葡萄園者、至而覓菓、無所得。爰謂園丁曰：「予於此樹求實三載、卒無所得、不如斫之、何曠土為。」園丁對曰：「主、今春姑留、待我疏其周圍之土、而糞之、是後倘亦結實歟。不然、則決予斫除。」』

尚其慎旃！莫使爾之心靈、困於酒食、蔽於世慮；蓋彼日將突然臨爾、有如陷穽、天網恢恢、

耶穌見其狀、而告眾曰：『難矣哉！富人之進天主國也。駝經針孔較是猶易。』

一僕不能事二主、非惡此而愛彼、即厚此而薄彼、天主與財富、固不能兼事也。』

人而不寓吾內、則如枝之被棄而槁、人將拾之、舉以供爨矣。
