VERSE 21.

THen he closes it up with an holy presumption. Trusting, not 〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉, sed 〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉, not in thy hearing, but in thy obey∣ing, whereof I have had already comfortable experience: knowing that thou wilt not only doe this, but a greater matter, if I shall request it of thee, more than I say. A good and a religious people will not onely doe that which the Preacher requires: but more too.* 1.1 Moses desired but so much as would serve for the taber∣nacle,* 1.2 yet the Israelites brought more. Gehazi in the name of Eli∣sha (yet he abused his name) requested but one talent, Naaman gave him two.

Saint Paul entreated the Corinthians to contribute to the poore Saints at Hierusalem to their abilitie: yet they gave 〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉, a∣bove their power or abilitie: but it were well now adayes, if the people would doe so much as the Ministers require, though they did no more. We desire kinde usage: no surplusage.
