He which soweth sparingly shall reap also sparingly: and he which soweth bountifully shall reap also bountifully. Every man according as he purposeth in his heart, so let him give; not grudgingly, or of necessity: for God loveth a cheerful giver. 2 _Cor_. ix. 6, 7. Let him that is taught in the word communicate unto him that teacheth in all good things. Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap. _Gal_. vi. 6, 7. As we have opportunity, let us do good unto all men; especially unto them who are of the household of faith. _Gal_. vi. 10. Charge them that are rich in this world, that they be not high minded, nor trust in uncertain riches, but in the living God, who giveth us richly all things to enjoy: That they do good, that they be rich in good works, ready to distribute, willing to communicate; laying up in store for themselves a good foundation against the time to come, that they may lay hold on eternal life. 1 _Tim_. vi. 17, 18, 19. God is not unrighteous to forget your work and labour of love, which ye have shewed toward his Name, in that ye have ministered to the saints, and do minister. _Heb_. vi. 10. To do good and to communicate forget not; for with such sacrifices God is well pleased. _Heb_. xiii. 16. _While the Presbyter distinctly pronounceth one or more of these sentences for the Offertory, the Deacon, or_ (_if no such be present_) _some other fit person, shall receive the devotions of the people there present, in a bason provided for that purpose. And when all have offered, he shall reverently bring the said bason, with the offerings therein, and deliver it to the Presbyter; who shall humbly present it before the Lord, and set it upon the Holy Table_. _And the Presbyter shall then, offer up, and place the bread and wine prepared for the Sacrament upon the Lord's Table; and shall say_, Blessed be thou, O Lord God, for ever and ever. Thine, O Lord, is the greatness, and the glory, and the victory, and the majesty: for all that is in the heaven and in the earth is thine: thine is the kingdom, O Lord, and thou art exalted as head above all: both riches and honour come of thee, and of thine own do we give unto thee. _Amen_. _Then shall the Presbyter say_, The Lord be with you. _Answer_. And with thy spirit. _Presbyter_. Lift up your hearts. _Answer_. We lift them up unto the Lord. _Presbyter_. Let us give thanks unto our Lord God. _Answer_. It is meet and right so to do. _Presbyter_. It is very meet, right, and our bounden duty, that we should at all times, and in all places, give thanks unto thee, O Lord, * [holy Father,] Almighty, everlasting God. [Margin Note:] * _These words_ [holy Father] _must be omitted on Trinity Sunday_ _Here shall follow the proper preface, according to the time, if there be appointed; or else immediately shall follow_,
