For he that hath, to him shall be given; and he that hath not, from him shall be taken even that which he hath - or “seemeth to have,” or “thinketh he hath.” (See on Mat 13:12). This “having” and “thinking he hath” are not different; for when it hangs loosely upon him, and is not appropriated to its proper ends and uses, it both is and is not his.
