The Art of Dying Well: Fifth Precept, In Which the Deceitful Error of the Rich of this World is Exposed

Chapter 5: Fifth Precept, In Which the Deceitful Error of the Rich of this World is Exposed "Let it, therefore, be a fixed rule for living well and dying well, often to consider and seriously to ponder on the account that must be given to God of our luxury in palaces, in gardens, in chariots, in the multitude of servants, in the splendour of dress, in banquets, in hoarding up riches, in unnecessary expenses, which injure a great multitude of the poor and sick, who stand in need of our superfluities; and who now cry to God, and in the day of judgment will not cease crying out until we, together with the rich man, shall be condemned to eternal flames."
