office > duty, function entertainment > hospitality
5 And lodging to all that came and went: 6 Not to such as could him feast again,
again > in return
7 And doubly requite for that he on them spent,
that > [that which]
8 But such as want of harbour did constrain:
harbour > shelter constrain > distress
9 Those for God's sake his duty was to entertain.
110.38
The second was +as+ Almner of the place,
2 His office was, the hungry for to feed,
And thristy giue to drinke, a worke of grace:
4 He feard not once him selfe to be in need,
Ne car'd to hoord for those, whom he did breede:
6 The grace of God he layd vp still in store,
Which as a stocke he left vnto his seede;
8 He had enough, what need him care for more?
And had he lesse, yet some he would giue to the pore.
