1 Christian, Thou lovest, I know, to see thy SAVIOUR! All the World agrees, the Citizen of Zion to be every Godly Man.

He hath not put out This Money to Usury. That is in the Spiritual Gifts ⟨p. 28⟩bestowed on His Disciples, whereof He said, Freely ye have received, freely give. He took not a reward against the Innocent; No, He freely gave Himself a Ransom for the Guilty.
