9 (As it is written, He hath dispersed abroad; he hath given to the poor: his righteousness remaineth for ever.



Ver. 9. He hath dispersed abroad] General Norice was like that bishop of Lincoln, that never thought he had that thing that he did not give. Of Mr Wiseheart, the Scottish martyr, it is reported, that his charity had never end, night, day, nor noon. He forbare one meal in three, one day in four for the most part to bestow it on the poor. He never changed his sheets but he gave them away.
