Galatians 2:10 Only they would that we should remember the poor; the same which I also was forward to do. When Fox, the author of the "Book of Martyrs," was once leaving the palace of Aylmer, the Bishop of London, a company of poor people begged him to relieve their wants with great importunity. Fox, having no money, returned to the bishop, and asked the loan of five pounds, which was readily granted. He immediately distributed it among the poor by whom he was surrounded. Some months after, Aylmer asked Fox for the money he had borrowed. "I have laid it out for you," was the answer, "and paid it where you owed it — to the poor people who lay at your gate." Far from being offended, Aylmer thanked Fox for thus being his steward.
