This is a duty that none can except 1against, because it is especially a work of the heart. All cannot show their thankfulness in giving or doing great matters, but all may express the willingness of their hearts. All within […] may praise his holy name, though we 2have little or nothing without us; and that within us is the thing God chiefly requires. Our heart is the Altar on which we offer this Incense; God ⟨p. 459⟩looks not to quantity, but to proportion; he accepts a mite where there is •o more to be had.
