(4.) That this Diversity cometh from the same free Love of God, and therefore not to be used contrary to the mind of the giver. This is the free gift of God, flowing from his undeserved Grace, there being nothing foreseen in any, that can merit the least good at Gods hand: 1 Cor. 4.7. Who made thee to differ? Rom. 12.35. For of him, and through him, and to him are all things. The Sun oweth nothing to the Stars, nor the Fountain to the Streams.
(5.) Our Account must be answerable to our Receipts; there is a proportion of return expected: Hezekiah rendered not according to what he received. They that have received much, shall account for much; and they that have received little, shall account for little; he that received five Talents, must look to reckon for five: As he comforted his Friend that had but one Eye, that he should account but for the Sins of one Eye.
Now for the Reasons of this Diversity.
