The Best Treasure.

ALEXANDER being asked where he would lay his treasure, answered very well, among his friends; being confident that there it would be kept with safety, and returned with use.
Why needest thou enlarge thy barns? Knowest thou not where to lay thy plenty? Make the friends of Christ thy treasury; let the hands of the widow, the bosoms of the poor, be thy store-house. Here it is sure no thief can steal it, no time can rust it, no change can lose it; and here it is improved. A temporal gift is here turned into an eternal reward; no ground so fruitful as the bosom of the poor, that brings forth an hundred fold.
