She submitteth her
_wealth_, 8. to her self,

that he may have,
and is not the _Owner_,
but the _Keeper_ of his goods,
ut _Avarus_, 9.
qui habet,
ut habeat,
& non est _Possessor_
sed _Custos_ bonorum suorum,
and being unsatiable,

badly spendeth
things well gotten,
and at the last wanteth.

malè disperdit
benè parta,
ac tandem eget.
