power_n and_o beyond_o their_o power_n 6._o yea_o god_n take_v notice_n of_o the_o least_o degree_n of_o mercy_n that_o be_v show_v by_o his_o servant_n to_o any_o of_o his_o people_n even_o to_o a_o little_a cake_n of_o bread_n as_o he_o do_v in_o the_o book_n of_o king_n in_o the_o widow_n 10.42_o and_o to_o one_o cup_n of_o cold_a water_n as_o he_o he_o do_v in_o the_o gospel_n very_o if_o a_o man_n give_v but_o a_o cup_n of_o water_n water_n that_o be_v a_o cheap_a thing_n cold_a water_n no_o matter_n either_o of_o cost_n or_o pain_n say_v he_o if_o he_o give_v such_o a_o cup_n of_o water_n to_o the_o least_o of_o i_o it_o shall_v not_o be_v forget_v it_o shall_v be_v reward_v so_o that_o god_n you_o see_v take_v particular_a notice_n write_v down_o locum_fw-la book_n down_o every_o act_n and_o work_v of_o mercy_n that_o be_v do_v by_o his_o people_n i_o can_v be_v large_a in_o prove_v of_o this_o now_o but_o i_o shall_v not_o need_v to_o say_v more_o to_o such_o a_o understanding_n auditory_a i_o must_v hasten_v in_o regard_n of_o the_o time_n and_o my_o own_o strength_n reas._n 1_o what_o may_v be_v the_o ground_n and_o reason_n of_o this_o that_o god_n do_v thus_o book_n and_o write_v down_o every_o work_n of_o mercy_n negatiuè_fw-la the_o reason_n be_v not_o from_o the_o worth_n as_o we_o say_v before_o of_o prayer_n so_o here_o not_o from_o the_o worth_n of_o our_o work_n and_o of_o those_o alm_n that_o we_o be_v able_a to_o give_v as_o the_o farmer_n of_o merit_n in_o another_o world_n and_o in_o another_o church_n use_v for_o to_o speak_v who_o be_v very_o high_a in_o their_o expression_n this_o way_n touch_v their_o mercy_n their_o alm_n their_o good_a deed_n for_o which_o they_o expect_v a_o great_a deal_n of_o thanks_o and_o respect_n frow_fw-mi god_n teli_fw-la but_o without_o reason_n for_o certain_o as_o one_o have_v well_o observe_v it_o be_v very_o true_a that_o many_o of_o those_o thing_n which_o they_o call_v work_n of_o mercy_fw-mi be_v indeed_o the_o work_n of_o ponance_n and_o be_v but_o mulcti_fw-la fine_n and_o amercement_n lay_v upon_o they_o by_o their_o confessor_n for_o fault_n that_o they_o have_v commit_v and_o certain_a it_o be_v that_o many_o of_o those_o that_o they_o do_v so_o brag_v and_o boast_v of_o be_v more_o we_o a_o great_a deal_n then_o they_o however_o the_o doner_n be_v caint_v and_o sunburn_a with_o some_o particulais_fw-fr of_o popery_n yet_o in_o the_o main_a many_o of_o they_o be_v moreour_n than_o they_o so_o that_o they_o have_v no_o reason_n to_o brag_v that_o way_n in_o truth_n what_o be_v a_o man_n mercy_n to_o god_n our_o goodness_n reach_v not_o to_o he_o whac_fw-la can_v we_o give_v he_o but_o what_o be_v his_o own_o already_o and_o what_o he_o have_v give_v we_o first_o so_o that_o that_o can_v be_v the_o reason_n why_o god_n respect_v our_o niercy_n for_o any_o worth_a or_o dignity_n that_o be_v in_o our_o alm_n but_o the_o reason_n be_v this_o god_n be_v please_v in_o christ_n to_o look_v upon_o our_o person_n and_o then_o next_o to_o accept_v of_o our_o sorvice_n for_o christ_n sake_n reason_n affirmat_fw-la 2_o and_o so_o in_o particular_a of_o our_o alm_n god_n be_v please_v to_o respect_v they_o because_o they_o be_v expression_n of_o christ_n spirit_n and_o the_o fruit_n of_o his_o own_o spirit_n and_o because_o they_o be_v seal_n of_o our_o obedience_n and_o of_o our_o thankfulness_n unto_o he_o and_o because_o that_o they_o be_v mean_n of_o refresh_v the_o bowel_n of_o his_o poor_a servaint_n for_o these_o cause_n and_o under_o these_o name_n and_o notion_n it_o be_v that_o god_n take_v notice_n of_o our_o alm_n and_o work_n of_o mercy_n and_o daigne_v to_o regard_v and_o write_v they_o write_v they_o how_o not_o to_o help_v his_o own_o memory_n that_o need_v not_o but_o to_o help_v our_o faith_n and_o to_o help_v our_o love_n that_o we_o shall_v be_v encourage_v in_o this_o way_n to_o do_v work_n of_o mercy_n i_o have_v speak_v as_o brief_o as_o i_o can_v unto_o the_o point_n and_o yet_o i_o think_v sufficient_a for_o so_o plain_a a_o point_n as_o this_o be_v all_o the_o business_n here_o lie_v in_o the_o application_n and_o the_o use_n of_o this_o use_v 1_o and_o the_o use_n honour_v and_o pelove_v be_v these_o if_o this_o be_v so_o that_o god_n take_v particular_a notice_n and_o write_v down_o every_o work_n of_o mercy_n that_o be_v do_v then_o this_o speak_v but_o sad_a news_n unto_o divers_a sort_n of_o people_n the_o first_o be_v such_o man_n as_o be_v mere_a stranger_n unto_o mercy_fw-mi and_o the_o fruit_n thereof_o they_o be_v never_o guilty_a of_o such_o a_o thing_n as_o mercy_n and_o almsdeed_n if_o you_o compare_v the_o book_n god_n and_o they_o together_o you_o shall_v find_v the_o book_n much_o what_o alike_o unto_o some_o almanac_n that_o be_v full_a of_o letter_n both_o red_a and_o black_a and_o bloody_a on_o one_o side_n but_o on_o the_o other_o side_n there_o be_v fair_a paper_n a_o waste_n empty_a blank_n that_o be_v all_o that_o be_v to_o be_v find_v there_o even_o so_o it_o be_v with_o many_o a_o man_n book_n if_o he_o be_v a_o true_a recorder_n of_o his_o work_n of_o mercy_n on_o the_o one_o side_n you_o shall_v find_v item_n so_o much_o spend_v upon_o pride_n and_o so_o much_o spend_v upon_o lust_n and_o so_o much_o spend_v upon_o revenge_n and_o so_o much_o spend_v at_o die_n and_o so_o much_o spend_v in_o play_n and_o so_o much_o spend_v upon_o sin_n and_o wickedness_n this_o side_n be_v full_a of_o what_o have_v be_v lay_v out_o touch_v themselves_o and_o for_o themselves_o in_o pursusuance_n of_o their_o lust_n but_o now_o when_o it_o come_v to_o a_o work_n of_o mercy_n what_o have_v you_o do_v for_o god_n what_o for_o christ_n what_o for_o the_o member_n of_o christ_n what_o for_o the_o advancement_n of_o religion_n or_o any_o pious_a work_n or_o service_n what_o shall_v you_o sin_v there_o even_o a_o blank_a mere_a cypher_n nothing_o else_o oh_o miserable_a man_n how_o will_v these_o fare_n when_o they_o shall_v be_v call_v to_o a_o account_n for_o their_o stowardship_n when_o they_o have_v lay_v out_o all_o for_o themselves_o and_o upon_o themselves_o and_o their_o lust_n and_o lay_v out_o nothing_o at_o all_o for_o god_n and_o for_o the_o love_n of_o god_n this_o be_v one_o sort_n but_o then_o there_o be_v another_o sort_n worse_o than_o these_o and_o they_o be_v such_o as_o be_v not_o only_o stranger_n unto_o mercy_n but_o be_v opposite_n enemy_n as_o it_o be_v to_o mercy_n at_o lose_v they_o walk_v in_o a_o quite_o opposite_a way_n unto_o the_o way_n of_o mercy_n these_o why_o these_o do_v not_o feed_v the_o poor_a but_o they_o flay_v they_o they_o do_v not_o clothe_v they_o but_o they_o strip_v they_o they_o make_v not_o any_o provision_n for_o they_o but_o cast_v how_o utter_o to_o ruin_v and_o to_o undo_v they_o in_o stead_n of_o heal_v they_o they_o wound_v they_o in_o

a_o black_a cry_v firm_a and_o will_v prove_v so_o at_o the_o last_o day_n what_o if_o they_o in_o math._n 25._o as_o austin_n well_o infer_v thence_o if_o they_o shall_v be_v shut_v out_o of_o

then_o where_o shall_v they_o appear_v and_o what_o shall_v become_v of_o they_o that_o be_v so_o far_o from_o this_o that_o they_o have_v do_v what_o they_o can_v to_o suck_v out_o the_o very_a
