That the grace of God ought to be without price.

In the Acts of the Apostles: "Thy money be in perdition with thyself, because thou hast thought that the grace of God is possessed by money." 1 Also in the Gospel: "Freely ye have received, freely give." 2 Also in the same place: "Ye have made my Father's house a house of merchandise; and ye have made the house of prayer a den of thieves." 3 Also in Isaiah: "Ye who thirst, go to the water, and as many as have not money: go, and buy, and drink without money." 4 Also in the Apocalypse: "I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end. I will give to him that thirsteth from the fountain of the water of life freely. He who shall overcome shall possess these things, and their inheritance; and I will be his God, and he shall be my son." 5
