Luke 19

Luke 19:8

Behold, Lord, the half of my goods I give to the poor; and if I have taken any thing from any man by false accusation, I restore him fourfold.

Behold, Lord, thy presence, and power, hath so wrought upon me, that now I do profess, for thy sake, to renounce the world; and do, therefore, make my will of that estate, which I have: some good part of my substance I know to be lawfully gotten, as being left to me for my patrimony, or honestly raised; howsoever, some other part of it hath been increased by extortion and injustice. I would gladly give all to the poor, were it not that I must reserve some for just restitution. One half therefore I give to the poor; and, out of the other half, I am ready to restore fourfold to any man, whom I have wronged by unjust exaction and false accusation.

Luke 19:26
