heart_n bleed_v and_o die_v within_o i_o to_o think_v of_o the_o misery_n and_o desolation_n that_o i_o have_v in_o part_n see_v in_o some_o part_n of_o the_o country_n i_o must_v tell_v you_o that_o if_o so_o be_v the_o lord_n be_v not_o please_v to_o find_v out_o some_o way_n of_o relief_n for_o many_o poor_a people_n in_o the_o country_n they_o will_v be_v utter_o starve_v and_o undo_v they_o can_v expect_v many_o more_o harvest_n and_o crop_n of_o corn_n well_o may_v they_o come_v up_o hither_o and_o eat_v up_o your_o plenty_n but_o they_o will_v not_o be_v able_a to_o bring_v in_o any_o supply_n to_o you_o as_o former_o they_o have_v do_v oh_a consider_v and_o say_v not_o now_o man_n groan_n without_o a_o cause_n and_o there_o be_v not_o such_o need_n as_o man_n will_v pretend_v no_o certain_o certain_o there_o be_v great_a need_n for_o many_o man_n they_o have_v live_v as_o long_o and_o shift_v as_o long_o as_o they_o know_v how_o to_o live_v in_o a_o honest_a way_n the_o lord_n

to_o do_v for_o those_o that_o be_v necessitous_a in_o misery_n and_o want_n mercy_fw-mi for_o the_o first_o some_o man_n will_v say_v alas_o how_o can_v we_o help_v it_o now_o how_o can_v we_o help_v it_o trade_n fail_v we_o our_o burden_n they_o be_v heavy_a and_o payment_n they_o be_v multiply_v upon_o we_o more_o and_o more_o it_o be_v not_o with_o we_o as_o it_o have_v be_v we_o be_v not_o able_a to_o do_v what_o we_o be_v willing_a to_o do_v well_o i_o hear_v your_o answer_n i_o believe_v it_o to_o be_v true_a in_o some_o part_n but_o now_o i_o bessech_v you_o good_a my_o brethren_n let_v we_o cast_v about_o a_o little_a and_o see_v whether_o we_o may_v not_o be_v in_o some_o measure_n enable_v do_v for_o those_o that_o be_v in_o great_a want_n than_o our_o self_n 1._o use_v

those_o that_o be_v not_o able_a to_o labour_v or_o to_o take_v pain_n 2._o and_o use_v your_o head_n too_o set_v your_o wit_n a-work_o this_o way_n cast_v about_o and_o contrive_v as_o well_o as_o you_o can_v how_o the_o necessity_n of_o people_n may_v be_v supply_v in_o some_o measure_n cast_v about_o i_o say_v be_v there_o no_o way_n to_o prevent_v these_o idle_a vagrant_n and_o these_o

like_a and_o to_o set_v up_o working-house_n that_o people_n may_v have_v labour_n and_o that_o they_o may_v be_v set_v upon_o somewhat_o be_v there_o no_o way_n for_o we_o to_o cast_v and_o contrive_v how_o people_n may_v be_v keep_v alive_a i_o beseech_v you_o that_o be_v man_n of_o wisdom_n and_o understanding_n that_o you_o will_v employ_v your_o thought_n this_o way_n 3_o and_o then_o next_o do_v something_o by_o way_n of_o abatement_n abate_v something_o and_o abridge_v yourselves_o a_o little_a that_o you_o may_v be_v helpful_a to_o other_o abate_v something_o from_o your_o back_n and_o something_o from_o your_o bellte_n and_o something_o from_o your_o delight_n and_o recreation_n be_v content_a a_o little_o to_o deny_v yourselves_o to_o deny_v yourselves_o a_o latle_n i_o say_v for_o the_o supply_n of_o other_o i_o tell_v you_o i_o be_o very_o persuade_v that_o there_o will_v be_v enough_o save_v and_o spare_v from_o needless_a drink_n i_o mean_v from_o wine_n and_o tobacco_n and_o strong-water_n and_o the_o like_a and_o from_o trim_n and_o lace_n and_o dress_n and_o such_o like_a thing_n as_o be_v more_o than_o necessary_a enough_o spare_v i_o say_v to_o supply_v the_o necessity_n of_o many_o man_n that_o do_v now_o stand_v in_o great_a need_n of_o very_a necessary_n oh_a let_v your_o bread_n be_v a_o little_o brown_a let_v your_o table_n be_v a_o little_o short_a let_v your_o coat_n be_v a_o little_a plain_o a_o little_a course_n a_o little_a condescend_v to_o the_o want_n of_o your_o poor_a brethren_n and_o impart_v something_o unto_o they_o that_o be_v distress_v and_o naked_a object_n you_o will_v say_v happy_o that_o you_o must_v maintain_v not_o only_o nature_n but_o you_o must_v maintain_v the_o honour_n the_o port_n and_o the_o credit_n of_o your_o place_n too_o answ_n i_o answer_v it_o be_v true_a you_o must_v i_o will_v not_o press_v you_o now_o with_o that_o which_o some_o casuist_n say_v touch_v this_o point_n in_o case_n of_o extremity_n and_o of_o mere_a necessity_n how_o far_o forth_o a_o man_n must_v deny_v himself_o that_o way_n we_o will_v not_o stand_v upon_o that_o now_o we_o will_v yield_v you_o that_o and_o there_o will_v be_v a_o competency_n i_o hope_v without_o any_o such_o extremity_n we_o do_v not_o press_v you_o that_o you_o shall_v any_o way_n deny_v your_o self_n any_o thing_n that_o be_v fit_a for_o nature_n that_o be_v fit_a for_o your_o place_n and_o for_o your_o relation_n only_o i_o propound_v and_o offer_v this_o whether_o when_o these_o be_v answer_v and_o satisfy_v competent_o whether_o then_o there_o will_v not_o be_v some_o overplus_n and_o if_o so_o than_o i_o press_v the_o point_n will_v you_o not_o deny_v yourselves_o in_o a_o superfluity_n abate_v a_o little_a for_o christ_n a_o little_a finishness_n and_o a_o little_a excess_n and_o superfluity_n what_o not_o abate_v a_o little_a from_o a_o dog_n from_o a_o bird_n from_o a_o beast_n will_v you_o not_o do_v thus_o much_o for_o christ_n christ_n bate_v of_o heaven_n as_o it_o be_v for_o the_o time_n he_o be_v content_a to_o lay_v aside_o his_o glorious_a robe_n in_o our_o misery_n and_o in_o our_o beggary_n oh_a let_v christ_n be_v so_o much_o behold_v to_o you_o that_o you_o lay_v something_o out_o of_o the_o everplus_n for_o he_o and_o for_o his_o sake_n and_o when_o you_o do_v what_o you_o be_v able_a to_o do_v it_o be_v accept_v as_o the_o apostle_n say_v it_o be_v accept_v according_a to_o that_o that_o a_o man_n have_v and_o not_o according_a to_o that_o which_o he_o have_v not_o 2_o cor._n 8.12_o thus_o you_o must_v labour_v to_o be_v able_a to_o do_v work_n of_o mercy_n they_o but_o then_o there_o be_v a_o second_o thing_n and_o that_o be_v when_o you_o be_v able_a you_o must_v be_v willing_a and_o ready_a to_o do_v it_o too_o you_o must_v be_v willing_a to_o it_o i_o say_v and_o here_o god_n bear_v we_o down_o with_o a_o world_n of_o argument_n 1._o if_o we_o look_v to_o god_n he_o be_v our_o friend_n nay_o our_o father_n you_o know_v for_o a_o friend_n you_o will_v do_v somewhat_o if_o a_o friend_n come_v to_o you_o and_o say_v here_o be_v such_o a_o such_o a_o poor_a friend_n and_o kinsman_n of_o i_o in_o want_n for_o my_o sake_n do_v somewhat_o i_o will_v do_v as_o much_o for_o a_o friend_n of_o you_o will_v you_o not_o do_v it_o and_o will_v you_o do_v it_o for_o a_o friend_n and_o will_v you_o not_o do_v it_o for_o a_o god_n consider_v christ_n christ_n come_v in_o his_o flesh_n to_o you_o when_o poor_a christian_n come_v to_o you_o he_o present_v a_o pale_a face_n a_o thin_a cheek_n he_o present_v a_o bare_a arm_n or_o leg_n it_o may_v be_v to_o you_o will_v you_o not_o do_v somewhat_o for_o to_o support_v christ_n and_o to_o cloth_n christ_n in_o his_o member_n and_o in_o his_o servant_n shall_v the_o bone_n of_o christ_n stare_v and_o stand_v out_o shall_v the_o naked_a flesh_n and_o skin_n of_o christ_n pine_v away_o for_o want_n of_o succour_n 3._o add_v to_o this_o christian_n themselves_o that_o come_v unto_o you_o alas_o they_o be_v your_o flesh_n as_o the_o prophet_n say_v isa._n 58._o they_o be_v your_o own_o flesh_n what_o
