1. Do you fear giving more to God then his due? Is not all his own? And how can you give him more then all?
2. He is not so backward in giving to you, that owes you nothing, but gives you plenty, variety and continuance of all the good you enjoy; and do you think you well requite him?
3. Christ said not of his life and precious blood, It is too much; And will you say of your poor unprofitable Service, It is too much?
4. Who will you give that to which you spare from God? that time, and study, and love and labour? to any that hath more right to it or better deserves it, or will better reward you then he will do?
5. Are you afraid of being losers by him? have you cause for such Fears; is be unfaithful, or unable to perform his Promises? will you repent when you come to heaven, that you did too much to get it? will not that blessedness pay you to the full?
