Article XXXVIII. Of Christian men's Goods, which are not common
The Riches and Goods of Christians are not common, as touching the right, title, and possession of the same, as certain Anabaptists do falsely boast. Notwithstanding, every man ought, of such things as he possesseth, liberally to give alms to the poor, according to his ability.

- Luke xi. 41. Give Alms of such Things as ye have, 1 Tim. vi. 17, 18. Charge them that are rich in this World, that they be not high- minded, nor trust in uncertain Riches, but in the living Gop, who giveth us richly all Things to enjoy, That they do good, that they be rich in good Works, ready to distribute, willing to com- municate, laying up in Store for themselves a goad Foundation against the Time to come, that they may lay hold an eternal Life,
