The poor are the Lord's receivers, and he is the best pay-Master.
If thou hast an Estate, and wouldest improve it, be charitable to the poor: scattered seeds increase, but those that are hoarded dye.
1If I speak with the tongue of men and of angels, (saith Paul) and have not charity, I am become as sounding Brass, or a tinkling Cymbal.
