SERMON XII.
MATTH. XXV. v. 16, 17, 18. Then he that had received the five Talents, went and traded with the same, and made them other five Talents. Likewise he that had received two, he also gained other two. But he that had received one, went and digged in the Earth, and hid his Lords Money.
This is the second part of the Parable. We have heard of the Masters Distribution, now we shall hear of the Servants Negotiation; how they employed the Talents received. There was a disparity and inequality in the Distribution, so in the Negotiation: Two of the Servants used their Talents well, the third traded not at all, but went and digged in the Earth, and hid his Lords Money. Among them that used their Talents well, there was a difference, but still with proportion to what they had received. He that had received five Talents, made them other five: And he also that had received two, gained other two.
