It is acceptable with God that those who have Laboured in any Work or Service of his, should receive Refreshments and Encouragements from men. For as such an acceptable Service is the Relief given to Abraham and his People, by Melchizedek Celebrated. God is himself a sufficient Reward unto his People in and for all their Services. He needs not call in the help of Men to give them a Recompense. However it is well-pleasing unto him, that he, or his Work which they do, in any thing, be owned by Men.
