He that loveth pleasure [shall be] a poor man
Or "sport"
FOOTNOTES:
F3 and pastime, music and dancing, cards and
dice, hunting and hawking, and other sensual gratifications; a man
that indulges himself in these things, and spends his time and his
money in such a way, is very likely to be a poor man, and generally
is so in the issue; he that loveth wine and oil shall not be
rich;
that is, that loves them immoderately; otherwise in moderation they
may be both loved and used; "wine" and "oil" are put for high
living, luxurious feasts, costly entertainments; which being so,
and continually made, will not suffer a man to be rich. The sense
is, that an epicure, one that makes a god of his belly, that is
both a winebibber and a glutton, that indulges to rich eating and
drinking, in course lessens his substance, and leaves little for
his heir: and this holds good with respect to spiritual as to
temporal things; such persons are poor, and not rich in spiritual
things, that indulge to carnal pleasure, and the gratification of
their sensual appetite. F3 (hxmv) "laetitiam", Pagninus, Montanus, Junius &
