call_v a_o kingdom_n and_o therefore_o every_o godly_a one_o shall_v be_v a_o king_n in_o heaven_n how_o come_v this_o kingdom_n by_o grace_n or_o desert_n by_o the_o only_a grace_n of_o god_n in_o jesus_n christ_n declare_v the_o same_o more_o evident_o first_o it_o be_v the_o blessing_n of_o god_n and_o therefore_o of_o grace_n second_o it_o be_v give_v to_o we_o as_o to_o heir_n not_o as_o the_o wage_n of_o a_o servant_n which_o common_o deserve_v more_o than_o a_o son_n three_o it_o be_v prepare_v for_o we_o from_o the_o begin_n of_o the_o world_n and_o therefore_o be_v of_o the_o mere_a love_n of_o god_n and_o not_o of_o merit_n so_o much_o of_o the_o sentence_n what_o be_v the_o reason_n of_o it_o when_o christ_n be_v a_o hunger_v they_o feed_v he_o when_o he_o be_v a_o thirst_n they_o give_v he_o drink_v when_o he_o be_v naked_a they_o clothe_v he_o when_o he_o be_v sick_a and_o in_o prison_n they_o visit_v he_o do_v not_o this_o reason_n plain_o strengthen_v the_o doctrine_n of_o merit_n for._n for._n not_o so_o see_v for_o import_v not_o here_o the_o cause_n but_o the_o effect_n as_o we_o say_v summer_n be_v come_v for_o flower_n do_v spring_n and_o it_o be_v a_o good_a tree_n for_o it_o bring_v forth_o good_a fruit_n these_o be_v effect_n and_o not_o cause_n moreover_o if_o christ_n will_v have_v teach_v merit_n than_o will_v he_o have_v choose_v the_o great_a and_o chief_a work_n as_o of_o his_o own_o worship_n in_o the_o first_o table_n else_o some_o might_n just_o complain_v that_o they_o be_v not_o reward_v according_a to_o the_o measure_n of_o their_o good_a work_n have_v yield_v a_o great_a obedience_n to_o the_o first_o table_n than_o other_o why_o then_o do_v christ_n choose_v those_o work_n of_o the_o second_o table_n because_o they_o be_v most_o manifest_a to_o the_o world_n follow_v therein_o the_o custom_n of_o earthly_a judge_n who_o insist_v most_o upon_o plain_a proof_n either_o to_o convince_v the_o guilty_a or_o clear_v the_o innocent_a so_o christ_n pronounce_v his_o sentence_n rather_o according_a to_o work_n then_o to_o faith_n and_o those_o of_o the_o second_o table_n rather_o than_o of_o the_o first_o because_o that_o work_n be_v visible_a and_o faith_n invisible_a and_o for_o that_o it_o be_v easy_a to_o play_v the_o hypocrite_n in_o the_o obedience_n of_o the_o first_o table_n then_o of_o the_o second_o why_o do_v christ_n here_o use_v so_o long_a a_o catalogue_n of_o these_o work_n to_o teach_v we_o to_o exercise_v mercy_n in_o all_o those_o duty_n and_o not_o content_v ourselves_o with_o any_o one_o of_o they_o how_o can_v they_o do_v these_o thing_n unto_o christ_n who_o most_o of_o they_o do_v never_o see_v when_o they_o do_v any_o of_o they_o to_o the_o poor_a than_o they_o do_v it_o unto_o he_o what_o gather_v you_o of_o this_o that_o it_o be_v a_o great_a honour_n to_o lodge_v angel_n at_o unaware_o in_o stead_n of_o stranger_n but_o this_o be_v a_o far_o more_o excellent_a honour_n whereunto_o christian_n be_v call_v be_v assure_v that_o in_o receive_v the_o poor_a they_o receive_v christ_n himself_o which_o shall_v stir_v up_o the_o bowel_n of_o mercy_n and_o compassion_n in_o we_o towards_o they_o see_v not_o so_o much_o as_o a_o cup_n of_o cold_a water_n shall_v be_v unrewarded_a but_o how_o be_v it_o that_o they_o be_v then_o immortal_a seem_v not_o to_o know_v the_o meaning_n of_o this_o duty_n it_o be_v set_v down_o not_o to_o note_v ignorance_n but_o to_o teach_v we_o the_o exceed_a bountifulness_n of_o christ_n which_o be_v able_a to_o
