Greedy, self-interested men would be interested in “Huswifery” by Edward Taylor, “Upon a Spider Catching a Fly” by Edward Taylor, and “Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God” by Johnathon Edwards. “Huswifery” would be appealing to greedy men, who think they are superior to those around them.

Selfish men believe that they should strive above everyone else and leave those behind: “Strive not above what strength hath got. Lest in the brawl. Thou fall”
