1 Go to now, ye rich men, weep and howl for your miseries that shall come upon you.



Ver. 1. Go to now, ye rich men] Those rich wretches mentioned Jam_2:6-7, that blasphemed God and oppressed men. Magna cognatio ut rei sic nominis, divitiis et vitiis.



Weep and howl] Better weep here, where there are wiping handkerchiefs in the hand of Christ, than to have your eyes whipped out in hell. Better howl with men than yell with devils.



That shall come upon you] Gr. åðåñ÷ïìåíáéò , that are even now stealing upon you.
