Let not the weakest of all others be discouraged; Christ looks not to what he brings so much as out of what store; that which is least in quantity, 1may be most in proportion, as the Widows ⟨p. 67⟩mite was more in acceptance then richer offerings. 2A pair of turtle doves was accepted in the Law,3 and those that brought but goats hair to the building of the Tabernacle.
