pHe was ever Charitable, especially to the godly poor, according to the direction of the Apostle Paul, in Gal. 6. 10. Where he exhorteth us to do good unto all, especially unto them who are of the household of Faith. He maintained some poor Scholars at the University, wholly at his own charge, and contributed liberally towards the maintenance of others.

- pNen sunt profundendae opes sed dispensandae Ambros. His extraordinary Charity.
He was of such a charitable and bountiful disposition, that though his Father left him a competent estate, yet such were his disbursements yearly for his Kindred and others who stood in need of relief, that from the death of his Father, till his Children came to be of years, & to call for their portions, he laid up nothing of all his comings in, so that they who out of envy cry up his estate to be greater than it was, do consequently cry up his Bounty & Charity; because whatsoever his estate was, it was wholly laid out for the relief of such as stood in need (necessary expenses for his Family only excepted) which as it doth appear from the Doctors papers; So in his life time he expressed as much to some of his Children. And truly, as in other things1 he excelled others, so in this, even himself.
