Fidelity in Little Duties no Excuse for Neglect of Great
Matthew 23:23-24
Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for you pay tithe of mint and anise and cummin…


The tithing of cummin must not be neglected; but take heed thou dost not neglect the weightiest things of the Law — judgment, mercy, and faith; making your preciseness in the less a blind for your horrible wickedness in the greater.

(W. Gurnall.)
