Q. 1. What is presupposed in this Commandment?
A. It presupposeth that God hath given every Man a propriety in his Estate, and that no Mans Goods are common to ⟨p. 144⟩others, except by his consent in times and cases extraordinary, Acts 2.44. And all that believed were together, and had all things common.

Eph. 4.28. —But rather let him labour, working with his hands the thing which is good, that he may have to give to him that needeth.
