I shall give you some Observations concerning this Diversity and Variety.
1. That every one hath some Talent or other to improve for God. He that had least, had one; and the least gift is compared to a Talent: there is none of Gods People ⟨p. 86⟩but they have received some Gift from him, which being rightly employed, may make them useful for the Glory of God, and the good of others, if not in the higher and more public Office, yet as Wives, Children, Servants. Titus 2.10. Every one hath his Service and Opportunity to do something for God; all offered to the Tabernacle, Gold, or Silver, or Brass, or Chittim-wood, or Goats-hair, or Badgers-skins. So, as Christ went to Jerusalem, some strewed the way with garments, others cut down branches, some cried Hosanna, that was all they could do.
