be_v plain_a that_o the_o scripture_n do_v impose_v it_o as_o a_o necessary_a duty_n and_o esteem_v the_o omission_n of_o it_o a_o injury_n and_o though_o we_o can_v be_v accuse_v for_o our_o neglect_n in_o this_o kind_n before_o man_n tribunal_n yet_o god_n will_v pass_v upon_o we_o our_o final_a sentence_n according_a to_o these_o work_n 4._o if_o this_o be_v so_o sure_a a_o mean_n for_o the_o secure_n and_o improve_n our_o estate_n and_o that_o by_o liberal_a thing_n man_n shall_v stand_v this_o may_v afford_v some_o ground_n for_o our_o enquiry_n whether_o the_o neglect_n of_o this_o duty_n may_v not_o have_v some_o influence_n upon_o the_o general_a complaint_n in_o these_o time_n of_o want_n of_o money_n and_o trade_n and_o of_o man_n fail_v in_o their_o estate_n this_o be_v plain_a enough_o that_o there_o be_v no_o age_n to_o be_v mention_v wherein_o the_o generality_n of_o person_n of_o all_o rank_n and_o condition_n have_v be_v more_o profuse_a and_o extravagant_a as_o to_o those_o particular_a expense_n that_o concern_v themselves_o in_o all_o respect_n building_n diet_n apparel_n etc._n etc._n and_o it_o may_v just_o be_v fear_v that_o this_o excess_n in_o private_a expense_n may_v occasion_v a_o defect_n in_o their_o public_a bounty_n and_o then_o no_o wonder_n if_o man_n by_o neglect_n of_o liberal_a thing_n do_v fall_v and_o break_v 2._o by_o way_n of_o exhortation_n we_o may_v from_o hence_o be_v excite_v to_o these_o two_o thing_n 1._o to_o give_v honour_n love_n and_o respect_n to_o liberal_a person_n this_o be_v as_o much_o due_a to_o they_o from_o other_o as_o their_o bounty_n and_o charity_n be_v due_a from_o they_o to_o other_o and_o it_o can_v be_v less_o than_o a_o injury_n to_o detain_v from_o any_o one_o what_o be_v his_o due_n it_o be_v a_o usual_a form_n among_o the_o jew_n upon_o the_o name_n of_o worthy_a person_n decease_v to_o add_v this_o clause_n to_o the_o mention_n of_o they_o who_o memory_n be_v bless_v and_o hence_o be_v that_o custom_n in_o the_o primitive_a time_n of_o appoint_v anniversary_n memorial_n and_o festival_n in_o honour_n of_o the_o worthy_n decease_v to_o recount_v their_o good_a deed_n celebrate_v the_o praise_n due_a to_o they_o that_o other_o by_o their_o example_n may_v be_v excite_v to_o do_v the_o like_a and_o here_o i_o can_v in_o justice_n omit_v the_o mention_v of_o a_o late_a public_a good_a work_n not_o sufficient_o take_v notice_n of_o tho_o redound_v much_o to_o the_o honour_n of_o our_o nation_n and_o religion_n i_o mean_v the_o redemption_n of_o so_o many_o captive_n from_o slavery_n and_o restore_v they_o again_o to_o their_o native_a country_n which_o certain_o ought_v to_o be_v commemorate_a with_o praise_n as_o a_o work_n of_o a_o sweet_a savour_n both_o to_o god_n and_o man_n and_o a_o further_a addition_n to_o that_o double_a honour_n which_o be_v before_o due_a to_o such_o as_o be_v the_o chief_a promoter_n of_o it_o i_o mean_v the_o clergy_n of_o this_o church_n in_o gratitude_n to_o god_n for_o his_o gracious_a and_o wonderful_a restitution_n of_o they_o to_o their_o just_a right_n and_o revenue_n and_o i_o may_v true_o speak_v it_o to_o the_o everlasting_a honour_n of_o this_o famous_a city_n that_o it_o have_v afford_v as_o many_o liberal_a worthy_a benefactor_n for_o public_a good_a work_n and_o that_o too_o since_o the_o reformation_n whatever_o the_o papist_n suggest_v to_o the_o contrary_a as_o any_o other_o city_n in_o the_o christian_a world_n and_o which_o ought_v further_o to_o be_v acknowledge_v to_o their_o deserve_a praise_n the_o several_a company_n of_o it_o have_v general_o discharge_v the_o trust_n commit_v to_o they_o by_o the_o legacy_n of_o other_o with_o much_o more_o honour_n and_o fidelity_n than_o particular_a man_n use_v to_o do_v have_v of_o their_o own_o accord_n without_o be_v necessitate_v to_o it_o by_o a_o course_n of_o law_n observe_v that_o fair_a ingenuous_a equity_n which_o be_v proper_a in_o such_o case_n by_o augment_v the_o allowance_n bequeath_v in_o some_o proportion_n according_a as_o the_o price_n and_o value_n of_o thing_n have_v increase_v this_o i_o know_v have_v be_v do_v in_o some_o case_n and_o i_o be_o sure_a by_o the_o rule_n of_o equity_n it_o ought_v to_o be_v so_o in_o other_o that_o what_o be_v at_o first_o design_v by_o the_o will_n of_o the_o donour_n as_o a_o meet_a and_o liberal_a maintenance_n and_o now_o by_o the_o rise_n of_o the_o value_n of_o thing_n fall_v short_a of_o it_o if_o the_o revenue_n will_v bear_v it_o ought_v to_o be_v augment_v in_o some_o proportion_n to_o what_o be_v first_o intend_v such_o person_n can_v just_o pretend_v to_o this_o character_n in_o the_o text_n of_o devise_v liberal_a thing_n themselves_o who_o be_v not_o free_a and_o generous_a in_o the_o right_a disposal_n of_o the_o liberality_n of_o other_o 2._o which_o bring_v i_o to_o the_o second_o branch_n of_o exhortation_n with_o which_o i_o shall_v conclude_v that_o as_o we_o be_v now_o convince_v of_o so_o shall_v we_o be_v affect_v with_o and_o according_o practice_v this_o excellent_a virtue_n of_o liberality_n and_o as_o we_o abound_v in_o every_o thing_n in_o riches_n peace_n faith_n knowledge_n that_o we_o abound_v in_o this_o grace_n also_o it_o may_v seem_v superfluous_a to_o add_v any_o thing_n further_o to_o that_o great_a cloud_n of_o testimony_n and_o argument_n which_o i_o have_v already_o urge_v to_o this_o purpose_n without_o this_o bounty_n and_o pity_n to_o other_o we_o can_v have_v no_o good_a assurance_n of_o god_n favour_n to_o we_o nor_o any_o ground_n to_o expect_v it_o with_o what_o face_n or_o confidence_n can_v any_o man_n ask_v mercy_n for_o himself_o 5.7_o who_o be_v not_o ready_a to_o show_v it_o to_o other_o it_o be_v this_o that_o must_v add_v a_o efficacy_n to_o our_o prayer_n as_o it_o do_v with_o cornelius_n that_o must_v sanctify_v our_o possession_n our_o unrighteous_a

before_o every_o one_o of_o you_o shall_v be_v call_v to_o give_v a_o account_n of_o your_o stewardship_n and_o will_v it_o not_o be_v your_o wisdom_n before_o that_o time_n to_o have_v a_o right_a state_n of_o your_o account_n and_o to_o examine_v how_o they_o stand_v i_o be_o sensible_a that_o i_o speak_v to_o man_n of_o experience_n such_o as_o by_o their_o constant_a way_n of_o deal_n must_v
