This looks like another text which may contain a misspelling.
Gluttu doesn't seem to be right. The nearest that would make more sense is glutto, in which case we have..
Could you step over a coin stuck in the mud and not swallow the longing for gain like a glutton?
Salivam mercurialem literally means the saliva of Mercury but in expressions like this it referred to the taste for gain. A "Mercurial" person was skilful in business.
We might render the meaning as "Could you let a business opportunity pass you by without you showing your greed?"
