William Whately was an English Puritan. Here he offers a warning about covetousness. He says that if one grumbles, murmurs, and only gives pinchingly when there are need for the running of the church, or the common good, or for works of mercy, then there is a sign that one’s heart is greedily disposed.

Church business, the common good, works of mercy.

Can we consider how we might be holding back in any of these?
