The conclusion is § 8. “‘Ah!’—it is said—‘words are all very fine:  gold is finer.’  I make the same impression as I do when I am preaching to libertines against their unchastity.  Their mistress is blamed, and the mere mention of her serves but to enkindle their passions.  How can I bring before your eyes the poor man’s sufferings that thou mayest know out of what creep groanings thou art accumulating thy treasures, and of what high value will seem to thee in the day of judgment the famous words, ‘Come, ye blessed of my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world:  for I was an hungred and ye gave me meat:  I was thirsty and ye gave me drink:…I was naked and ye clothed me.’ Matt. xxv. 34.  What shuddering, what sweat, what darkness will be shed round thee, as thou hearest the words of condemnation!—‘Depart from me, ye cursed, into outer darkness prepared for the devil and his angels:  for I was an hungred and ye gave me no meat:  I was thirsty and ye gave me no drink:…I was naked and ye clothed me not.’ Matt. xxv. 41.  With the variation of “outer darkness” for “everlasting fire” and the omission of the clause about strangers.  In this passage, it is not a robber who is accused; the condemnation falls upon him who has not shared what he has.  I have told thee what I have thought profitable.  To thee now it is clear and plain what are the good things promised for thee if thou obey.  If thou disobey, for thee the threat is written.  I pray that thou mayest change to a better mind and thus escape its peril.  In this way thy own wealth will be thy redemption.  Thus thou mayest advance to the heavenly blessings prepared for thee by the grave of Him who hath called us all into His own kingdom, to Whom be glory and might for ever and ever.  Amen.”
