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.
16. So the last shall be first, and the first last: for many are called, but few chosen.
16. So the last called in time, may be made the Chief in Dignity; and the first called in time, may be in Grace and Glory among the lowest. Yea, of many that come into the Church at the first calling (as the Jewish Disciples) few may prove sincere and Saved.
17. And Jesus going up to Jerusalem, took the Twelve Disciples apart in the way, and said to them. 18. Behold, we go up to Jerusalem, and the Son of man shall be betrayed to the Chief Priests, and to the Scribes, and they shall Condemn him to Death: 19. And shall deliver him to the Gentiles, to mock, and to scourge, and to Crucify him: and the third day he shall rise again.
