9. A godly man is fruitful in good works,1 Titus 2. 7. The Hebrew word for godly [Greek or Hebrew] signifies merciful; implying, that to be godly and charitable, are [Greek or Hebrew], one and the same. A good man feeds the hungry, clothes the naked, he is ever merciful, †Psal. 37. 6. The more devout sort of the Jews, at this day, distribute the tenth part of their Estate to the poor; and they have a Proverb among them, give the tenth, and you will grow* rich.
