Matthew Poole and continuators on Luke 16:12

12 And if ye have not been faithful in that which is another mans, who shall give you that which is your own?

Let it be questioned whether [non-Latin text not transcribed] might not have been Translated Foreign as well as another Mans, for so Interpreters expound that Phrase. If you have not been faithful in things that are without you, which are little, compared with things that are within us. Yet Riches are indeed properly not ours, we are but the Stewards of them, and part of them are other Mens, and only trusted into our Hands, to dispense [illegible: 1 letter]o them according to our Masters order. Grace is our own, especially justifying and sanctifying Grace▪ because it is given us of God solely for our own use and advantage. We use to say, That those who have been bad Servants, seldom prove good Masters. In the trust of our Riches, we are but Servants, God will not give out of his special saving Grace, to those that abuse the trust of his common Gifts and Grace.
