But who am I, etc.] Originally dust and ashes, a sinful creature, unworthy to receive anything from God, and of having the honour of doing anything for him: and what is my people: subject to him, the least of all people, separated from the nations round about them, and despised by them: that we should be able to offer so willingly after this sort? that they, who were a poor people, some years ago brought out of Egyptian bondage, should now be possessed of such an affluence, and have such a generous heart and liberal spirit given them, as to contribute in so large and liberal a manner as they had done; all was owing to the goodness of God to them, and the efficacy of his grace upon them: for all things come of thee; all good things, temporal and spiritual; the Lord is the fountain of goodness, and Father of mercies: and of thine own have we given thee; for there is nothing a man has but he has received from the Lord, and therefore can give nothing to him but his own, (see <451135>Romans 11:35,36).
