Euseb. Yea indeed we are made stewards of those goods which God hath given us, & shall a steward take all unto himself without reproof. I am sure that they which were covetous1 at Peters first Sermon after Christs ascension, diminished their substance when they sold them & gave them to the poor. I am sure that the Churches which were in2 Macedonia which sent relief unto their ⟨p. 183⟩Churches even above their ability, they being in extreme poverty did dismiss their possessions: and God grant our conversations may be like theirs.
