While it remained, was it not thine own; or more close to the Greek, Remaining did it not remain to thee; that is, it was properly thine before thou soldest it, and thou mightest have kept thy interest in it. No man compelled thee to sell or give, and if thou hadst not sold it, thou mightest still have held communion ⟨p. 488⟩with the Church for all that; But this is thy sin, to pretend the gift of all to God, and perform but in part.
