Moreover if any be an infidel and a false Christen, and forsake his household, his wife, children, and such as can not help them selves, then art thou bound to them, and have wherewith, even as much as to thine own household. And they have as good right in thy goods, as thou thy self. And if thou withdraw mercy from them, and hast wherewith to help them: then are thou a these. If thou show mercy, so doest thou thy duty, and art a faithful minister in the household of Christ, and of Christ shalt thou have thy reward 1and thank. If the whole world were thine, yet hath every brother his right in thy goods, & is heir with thee, as we are all heirs with Christ. Moreover the rich and they that have wisdom with them, must see the poor set a work, that as many as are able may feed them selves, with the labour of their own hands, according to the Scripture & commandment of God.
