If, Therefore, There Is Any Grace In

Everyone Looks For The Good, Therefore Everyone Looks For God.

You Can See That A City Is Prosperous By The Wealth Of Goods For Sale In The Market. Land Too We Call Prosperous If It Bears Rich Fruit. And So Also The Soul May Be Counted Prosperous If It Is Full Of Good Works Of Every Kind.

We Glorify The Holy Ghost Together With The Father And The Son, From The Conviction That He Is Not Separated From The Divine Nature; For That Which Is Foreign By Nature Does Not Share In The Same Honors.

The Bread Which You Hold Back Belongs To The Hungry; The Coat, Which You Guard In Your Locked Storage-chests, Belongs To The Naked; The Footwear Mouldering In Your Closet Belongs To Those Without Shoes. The Silver That You Keep Hidden In A Safe Place Belongs To The One In Need. Thus, However Many Are Those Whom You Could Have Provided For, So Many Are Those Whom You Wrong.

If Every Man Took Only What Was Sufficient For His Needs, Leaving The Rest To Those In Want, There Would Be No Rich And No Poor.
