2 Corinthians8:12
Verſe 12. It is accepted] Sic minimo capitur thuris honore Deus. Noahs Sacrifice could not be great, yet was greatly accepted. Jacob bad his ſons take a little of every good thing, and carry for a preſent to the Lord of Aegypt. Saul and his ſervant preſent Samuel with the fourth part of a ſhekel, to the value of about our five-pence. Thankfulneſſe (they had learned) was not meaſured by God and good men by the weight, but by the will of the retributour. God cals for that which a mans heart inclines him to do, be it more, be it leſſe: ſo low doth his highneſſe ſtoop to our meanneſſe; preferring the willingneſſe of the minde, before the worthineſſe of the work.
