On this verse

No; it is but an oblation; we only offer it to him; the benefit of it returns back to ourselves, to his poor, who, as our neighbours, are ourselves, or to his ministers who serve continually for our good. The proportion of this oblation is here determined, which was not done by the law of Moses.
