All things are God's already; we can give Him no right, by
consecrating any, that He had not before, only we set it apart
to His service-just as a gardener brings his master a basket
of apricots, and presents them; his lord thanks him, and
perhaps gives him something for his pains, and yet the
apricots were as much his lord's before as now.
... John Selden (1584-1654)
