9.10.11.12. He made no difference in their Wages for the Time of their Work: But he will make difference for the Work it self: They that are called, near the end of the World, shall have as much, as those that heard Christ Preach: And those that are Converted in their Age, if they be more Holy, than those that began in Youth, will be more Happy. 2. This Parable meaneth not, that our Reward is Wages for the value of our Work as beneficial to God, in Commutative Justice; but only speaketh of the proportion. 3. Nor doth it imply, That any in Heaven will murmur at other mens Salvation, but that the Jewish Disciples were yet inclined to grudge, that the Gentiles were equalled with them. And it is to cure such envy now.
13.14. But he answered one of them, and said, Friend, I do thee no wrong; didst thou not agree with me for a penny. Take that thine is and go thy way: I will give to this last, even as unto thee: 15. Is it not lawful for me to do what I will with my own? Is thine eye evil because I am good?

13.14.15. I break no Covenant with thee: Thou art not meet to give me Laws of Equity: Liberality to another, is no wrong to thee. Am I not the rightful disposer of my own? Must I give none more than the Value of their Work deserveth? All shall have Equity, but all shall not have equal bounty. Thou shouldst be glad of thy Brothers receivings.
