The Difficulty of Worldly Prosperity
Mark 4:7
And some fell among thorns, and the thorns grew up, and choked it, and it yielded no fruit.


Great skill is required to the governing of a plentiful and prosperous estate, so as it may be safe and comfortable to the owner, and beneficial to others. Every corporal may know how to order some few files; but to marshal many troops in a regiment, many regiments in a whole body of an army, requires the skill of an experienced general.
