How much ;Dever(sod giveth out to us, he is not at all emptied, but remaines everla(lingly equally full. And if Godwill fpeak to the meanai creature, even to that which feemeth moil empty,it (ball water others and not be wearied.The thick clouds, they who have much, may be fpenr,while he that hath but a little (hull not be ;pent.
