Rule. 2 2. We must give that which is our own: Isa. 58.7. To deal thy bread to the hungry; it must be de tuo pane. The word for alms in the Syriac, signifies justice, to show that alms must be of that which is justly gotten; the Scripture puts them together, Micah 6.8. To do justice, to love mercy; we must not make ex Rapina Holocaustum, a Sacrifice of Sacrilege* Isa. 61.8. For I the Lord love judgement, I hate robbery for burnt-offering. He that shall build an Alms-house or Hospital with goods ill gotten, displays the Ensign of his pride, and sets up the Monument of his shame.
