Original Douay–Rheims Annotations2 Corinthians 8

Aboundance supply.

^[1] He meaneth that such as abound in worldly riches, should communicate for supply of other their brethren's necessities, whatsoever they may: that on the other side they whom they help in temporals, may impart to them again some of their spiritual riches, as prayers, and other holy works and graces, which is a happy change and intercourse for the wealthy men, if they could see it. ^[2] And this place proveth plainly that the fastings and satisfactory deeds of one man, be available to others, yea and that holy Saints or other virtuous persons may in measure and proportion of other men's necessities and deservings, allot unto them, as well the supererogation of their spiritual works, as these that abound in worldly goods, may give alms of their superfluities, to them which are in necessity. Which interchange and proportion of things the Apostle doth evidently set down.

• 1 Temporal benefits upon spiritual persons.
• 2 One may satisfy and supererogate for another.
