Trusting in riches
Let us consider now what we are to understand, on the other hand, by serving mammon. And first, it implies the trusting in riches, in money or the things purchasable by it, as our strength, the means whereby we shall perform whatever cause we have in hand, the trusting in them as our help, by which we look to be comforted in or delivered out of trouble.
