Give alms of thy goods,¹ and turn never thy fare from the poor: so shall it come to pass, that the face of the Lord shall not be turned away from thee. Be merciful after thy power. If thou hast much, give plenteously: if thou hast little, do thy diligence, gladly to give of that little. For so gatherest thou thy self a good reward in the day of necessity. For mercy delivereth from all sin, and from death, and suffereth not the soul to come in darkness.

Geue almes of thy goods,¹ and turne neuer thy fare frō the poore: so shall it come to passe, that the face of the Lord shall not be turned away from thee. Be mercifull after thy power. If thou hast much, geue plentiously: if thou hast little, doe thy diligence, gladly to geue of that little. For so gatherest thou thy selfe a good reward in the day of necessitie. For mercy deliuereth from all sinne, and from death, and suffereth not the soule to come in darkenes.

Behold Lord,¹ said Zacheus, the half of my goods do I give to the poor: & if I have done any man wrong, I restore him four fold.

Beholde Lorde,¹ sayd Zacheus, the halfe of my goods do I geue to the poore: & if I haue done any mā wrong, I restore him foure folde.
