2 Corinthians9:8
Verſe 8. And God is able] Fear not therefore leſt your ſelves ſhould want hereafter, if you ſhould give liberally now. Is not mercy as ſure a grain as vanity? Is God like to break?
Having all ſufficiency] He ſaith not, ſuperfluity. Enough we ſhall be ſure of, and an honeſt affluence, if fit for it,De civit Dei l. 5 c. 25. and can make us friends with it. Bonus Deus Conſtantinum magnum tantis terrenis implevit muneribus, quanta optare nullus auderet, ſaith Auſtin. God gave Conſtantine more wealth then heart could wiſh, and he was no niggard of it to poor Chriſtians.
In all things] The Apoſtle uſeth many Ali's on purpoſe to croſſe and confute our covetouſneſſe, who are apt to think we have never enough.
