2. The upright man hath a liberal1 heart to Christs poor*, Psalm 112. 9. He hath dispersed abroad, he hath given to the poor, his righteousness endures for ever. The Hebrew word for godly, [Greek or Hebrew], signifies merciful; The upright man pours the golden oil of mercy into the wounds of other. The poor's mans ⟨p. 34⟩hand is Christs treasury*; the upright Saint is ever casting into Christs treasury; mercy and liberality is the ensign that integrity displays.
