more_o wherefore_o plead_v not_o the_o number_n of_o thy_o child_n against_o the_o duty_n of_o charity_n as_o the_o man_n of_o this_o world_n be_v wont_a to_o do_v say_v not_o in_o thy_o heart_n to_o the_o poor_a as_o the_o wise_a say_v unto_o the_o foolish_a virgin_n in_o the_o parable_n we_o have_v not_o enough_o for_o we_o and_o you_o but_o remember_v job_n who_o have_v ten_o child_n seven_o son_n and_o three_o daughter_n and_o yet_o his_o charity_n be_v so_o great_a that_o as_o we_o read_v in_o the_o 29_o chapter_n he_o be_v a_o father_n to_o the_o poor_a eye_n to_o the_o blind_a and_o foot_n to_o the_o lame_a and_o beside_o his_o great_a expense_n upon_o this_o account_n as_o cyprian_n well_o observe_v in_o answer_n to_o this_o unworthy_a plea_n he_o daily_o offer_v up_o burnt-offering_n according_a to_o the_o number_n of_o his_o child_n and_o therefore_o if_o thou_o will_v have_v god_n bless_v thy_o numerous_a offspring_n the_o pledge_n of_o his_o love_n which_o he_o have_v give_v thou_o oblige_v he_o to_o take_v care_n of_o they_o by_o thy_o daily_a oblation_n by_o set_v something_o aside_o of_o thy_o daily_a income_n for_o charitable_a use_n for_o such_o be_v the_o sacrifice_n under_o the_o gospel_n and_o with_o such_o sacrifice_n god_n be_v well_o please_v i_o be_o very_o confident_a that_o one_o great_a cause_n of_o the_o usual_a infelicity_n which_o attend_v those_o the_o world_n call_v great_a fortune_n be_v to_o be_v ascribe_v to_o the_o worldly-mindedness_a of_o their_o progenitor_n who_o as_o they_o increase_v in_o wealth_n do_v not_o increase_v in_o charity_n never_o consider_v that_o he_o that_o have_v mercy_n on_o the_o poor_a honour_v his_o maker_n and_o he_o that_o give_v alm_n sacrifice_v praise_n there_o be_v say_v solomon_n that_o withholdeth_a more_o than_o be_v meet_v but_o it_o tend_v to_o poverty_n which_o i_o desire_v those_o to_o consider_v who_o neither_o live_a nor_o die_v will_v spare_v one_o out_o of_o ten_o or_o twenty_o thousand_o pound_n to_o charitable_a use_n from_o their_o child_n it_o may_v be_v but_o from_o one_o child_n who_o by_o that_o mean_n come_v to_o inherit_v the_o unsanctified_a riches_n of_o his_o father_n without_o the_o blessing_n of_o god_n but_o more_o especial_o i_o desire_v those_o to_o consider_v the_o great_a obligation_n which_o lie_v upon_o they_o to_o do_v good_a work_n who_o heap_v up_o riches_n and_o can_v tell_v who_o shall_v gather_v they_o i_o mean_v those_o to_o who_o god_n have_v give_v great_a estate_n and_o no_o child_n and_o among_o they_o more_o especial_o such_o as_o have_v no_o reasonable_a hope_n of_o issue_n have_v dead_a body_n as_o the_o apostle_n say_v of_o abraham●_n and_o who_o perhaps_o be_v yet_o unresolved_a who_o shall_v inherit_v after_o they_o the_o next_o of_o blood_n as_o heir_n at_o law_n or_o it_o may_v be_v a_o stranger_n who_o they_o do_v not_o yet_o know_v as_o testamentary_a heir_n god_n seem_v by_o his_o special_a bounty_n and_o providence_n to_o call_v and_o invite_v these_o man_n above_o all_o other_o to_o give_v their_o estate_n to_o charitable_a use_n as_o to_o find_v or_o endow_v hospital_n for_o the_o nurture_n of_o expose_v infant_n or_o the_o ingenuous_a education_n of_o poor_a orphan_n or_o the_o reception_n and_o cure_n of_o sick_a maim_a or_o wound_a person_n or_o for_o the_o maintenance_n and_o

beggar_n to_o who_o it_o be_v a_o abuse_n of_o charity_n to_o give_v because_o as_o st._n basil_n observe_v in_o his_o discourse_n of_o almsgiving_n we_o shall_v minister_v by_o our_o alm_n not_o to_o
