and_o look_v round_o about_o we_o we_o see_v no_o comforter_n then_o we_o shall_v call_v to_o mind_n what_o injury_n we_o have_v forgive_v how_o apt_a we_o be_v to_o pardon_v all_o affront_v and_o

shall_v turn_v upon_o the_o other_o and_o remember_v the_o alm_n that_o by_o the_o grace_n of_o god_n and_o his_o assistance_n we_o have_v do_v and_o look_v up_o to_o god_n and_o with_o the_o eye_n of_o faith_n behold_v he_o come_v in_o the_o cloud_n and_o pronounce_v the_o sentence_n of_o doomsday_n according_a to_o his_o mercy_n and_o our_o charity_n from_o what_o have_v be_v say_v i_o think_v it_o be_v evident_a that_o it_o be_v upon_o several_a account_n more_o advisable_a for_o man_n of_o ability_n to_o dispose_v of_o what_o they_o intend_v for_o charitable_a use_v in_o their_o life_n

oblige_v to_o do_v good_a while_o they_o live_v i_o shall_v not_o here_o undertake_v exact_o to_o state_n how_o much_o good_a every_o man_n ought_v to_o do_v indeed_o it_o can_v nice_o be_v determine_v there_o be_v a_o great_a difference_n in_o the_o condition_n and_o ability_n of_o man_n some_o want_n much_o more_o than_o other_o to_o support_v themselves_o handsome_o according_a to_o the_o station_n or_o office_n they_o be_v in_o or_o to_o maintain_v or_o educate_v their_o child_n agreeable_o to_o their_o birth_n and_o quality_n there_o can_v be_v one_o stand_a measure_n of_o

to_o the_o direction_n of_o his_o own_o conscience_n herein_o all_o that_o i_o be_o about_o to_o prove_v then_o be_v this_o that_o they_o who_o be_v able_a aught_o according_a to_o their_o ability_n to_o do_v good_a if_o they_o have_v a_o opportunity_n while_o they_o live_v this_o will_v appear_v from_o the_o consideration_n of_o the_o circumstance_n they_o be_v in_o and_o the_o relation_n they_o

be_v the_o lord_n and_o the_o fullness_n thereof_o the_o rich_a of_o man_n be_v only_a steward_n and_o trustee_n under_o he_o the_o many_o talent_n they_o possess_v and_o all_o the_o special_a and_o

to_o give_v a_o account_n of_o their_o stewardship_n and_o will_v be_v reward_v or_o punish_v according_a to_o their_o work_n they_o will_v not_o then_o be_v judge_v by_o their_o bare_a intention_n or_o conditional_a resolution_n which_o through_o their_o own_o fault_n never_o take_v effect_n neither_o will_v it_o be_v inquire_v what_o good_a they_o have_v remote_o design_v but_o what_o they_o have_v actual_o do_v when_o they_o be_v alive_a and_o have_v a_o opportunity_n of_o do_v it_o the_o time_n of_o life_n be_v the_o only_a proper_a season_n for_o exercise_v those_o talent_n they_o be_v

charitable_a in_o the_o grave_a unless_o therefore_o man_n of_o ability_n will_v be_v content_a to_o be_v reckon_v among_o the_o negligent_a or_o unfaithful_a steward_n either_o among_o such_o as_o

say_v at_o the_o last_o gasp_n that_o though_o they_o have_v do_v no_o good_a in_o their_o life_n time_n yet_o they_o have_v all_o along_o resolve_v it_o and_o according_a to_o these_o resolution_n their_o charity_n will_v commence_v after_o their_o death_n to_o this_o i_o answer_v first_o that_o resolution_n be_v in_o its_o own_o nature_n a_o imperfect_a act_n and_o therefore_o can_v signify_v nothing_o without_o performance_n and_o consummation_n unless_o it_o be_v where_o a_o sudden_a death_n or_o some_o unforeseen_a irremoveable_a impediment_n have_v hinder_v it_o so_o that_o this_o resolution_n will_v prove_v a_o argument_n against_o themselves_o for_o if_o they_o be_v not_o convince_v of_o the_o absolute_a necessity_n of_o do_v good_a why_o do_v they_o ever_o resolve_v it_o and_o if_o they_o be_v certain_o they_o can_v imagine_v mere_o to_o resolve_v it_o will_v be_v sufficient_a second_o as_o for_o their_o charity_n commence_v after_o their_o death_n i_o dare_v not_o encourage_v any_o one_o to_o depend_v upon_o it_o who_o may_v as_o convenient_o have_v employ_v it_o himself_o i_o be_o sure_a our_o bless_a saviour_n frequent_o press_v his_o disciple_n to_o work_v while_o it_o be_v day_n i._n e._n while_o they_o live_v because_o the_o night_n of_o death_n come_v when_o no_o man_n can_v work_v and_o from_o that_o most_o solemn_a description_n of_o the_o last_o judgement_n 25_o wherein_o he_o peculiar_o recommend_v to_o we_o all_o the_o act_n of_o compassion_n and_o mercy_n i_o find_v no_o mention_n make_v of_o resolve_v to_o clothe_v the_o naked_a to_o feed_v the_o hungry_a to_o visit_v the_o sick_a and_o the_o like_a nor_o any_o great_a ground_n to_o hope_n that_o a_o deathbed_n charity_n which_o may_v as_o well_o have_v be_v settle_v in_o the_o life_n of_o the_o donour_n will_v be_v accept_v by_o he_o nay_o rather_o upon_o a_o attentive_a and_o indifferent_a view_n of_o that_o account_n of_o the_o process_n of_o the_o last_o judgement_n we_o may_v conclude_v that_o to_o he_o that_o have_v a_o opportunity_n of_o do_v good_a while_o he_o live_v and_o do_v it_o not_o to_o he_o it_o will_v be_v sin_n i_o will_v not_o here_o be_v mistake_v and_o therefore_o i_o must_v a_o little_a far_o explain_v myself_o which_o i_o can_v better_o do_v than_o in_o the_o word_n of_o a_o late_a author_n in_o his_o practical_a discourse_n concern_v death_n 288._o it_o be_v the_o good_a say_v he_o we_o do_v while_o we_o live_v that_o shall_v be_v reward_v and_o therefore_o we_o must_v take_v care_n to_o do_v good_a while_o we_o live_v it_o be_v well_o when_o man_n who_o do_v no_o good_a while_o they_o live_v will_v remember_v to_o do_v some_o good_a when_o they_o die_v but_o if_o god_n shall_v accept_v such_o present_n as_o these_o yet_o it_o will_v make_v great_a abatement_n in_o the_o account_n that_o they_o keep_v their_o riches_n themselves_o as_o long_o as_o they_o can_v and_o will_v part_v with_o nothing_o to_o god_n till_o they_o can_v keep_v it_o no_o long_o the_o case_n be_v different_a as_o to_o those_o who_o do_v all_o the_o good_a they_o can_v while_o they_o live_v and_o when_o they_o see_v they_o can_v live_v no_o long_o take_v care_n to_o do_v good_a after_o death_n such_o survive_a charity_n as_o these_o prolong_v our_o life_n and_o add_v daily_o to_o our_o account_n when_o such_o man_n be_v remove_v into_o the_o other_o world_n they_o be_v do_v good_a in_o this_o world_n still_o they_o have_v a_o stock_n a_o go_v below_o the_o increase_n and_o improvement_n of_o which_o will_v follow_v they_o into_o
