While you are above and abound, let your hearts be kept sensible of the mean, low condition of others, of ⟨p. 44⟩[…] ⟨p. 41⟩[…] ⟨p. 44⟩their straits, their oppressions; let it be your honour to relieve the oppressed: 2 Cor. 8.7. As ye abound in every thing, see you abound in this grace also. He means the grace of liberality. 2 Sam. 24.23. it is said of Araunah, he gave like a King. Some of you have gloried, that you have spent like Princes; let it be rather your glory, that you give like Princes.
