First, The world gives, but they give grudgingly: But 1when Christ gives, he gives freely. Isa. 55. 1. Ho every 2one that thirsteth let him come, and buy wine and milk without money, and without price. So in Rev. 21. 6. I will give to every one that is athirst, of the water of life freely. To do good, and not to do it freely, handsomely, is nothing. A benefit given with grudging, is a stony loaf, only taken for necessity.
