undergo_v a_o painful_a and_o ignominious_a death_n for_o we_o upon_o the_o accurse_a tree_n and_o shall_v we_o not_o account_v then_o that_o he_o have_v buy_v we_o with_o a_o price_n and_o that_o our_o life_n our_o body_n and_o soul_n be_v he_o and_o if_o he_o may_v just_o call_v we_o to_o lay_v down_o even_o our_o life_n for_o his_o sake_n shall_v we_o be_v backward_o when_o he_o call_v but_o for_o a_o small_a portion_n of_o what_o we_o can_v well_o spare_v to_o his_o poor_a family_n that_o want_v it_o shall_v any_o man_n have_v so_o wonderful_a a_o love_n for_o another_o as_o to_o lay_v down_o his_o own_o head_n to_o save_v he_o from_o execution_n and_o shall_v the_o relation_n or_o child_n of_o that_o very_a person_n fall_v to_o poverty_n and_o want_n will_v not_o he_o that_o be_v save_v by_o he_o from_o death_n reckon_v all_o that_o he_o have_v due_a to_o their_o relief_n now_o our_o charity_n be_v dispense_v not_o to_o the_o relation_n or_o family_n but_o the_o very_a member_n of_o our_o saviour_n nay_o to_o himself_o for_o he_o alone_o still_o live_v after_o death_n and_o be_v sensible_a of_o this_o return_n and_o let_v this_o be_v consider_v and_o i_o think_v the_o obligation_n can_v be_v further_o improve_v let_v a_o man_n but_o reflect_v that_o the_o merciful_a jesus_n be_v scourge_v and_o pierce_v and_o crucified_a for_o he_o and_o let_v he_o but_o fancy_n that_o the_o hungry_a the_o blind_a and_o the_o lame_a in_o one_o word_n all_o the_o miserable_a be_v the_o member_n the_o body_n of_o this_o bleed_a and_o expire_a saviour_n and_o then_o let_v he_o be_v hard-hearted_a and_o cruel_a if_o he_o can_v i_o have_v be_v the_o long_o upon_o this_o topick_n for_o our_o charity_n the_o gratitude_n we_o owe_v to_o our_o saviour_n because_o i_o think_v it_o be_v the_o most_o move_a one_o to_o a_o generous_a disposition_n and_o charity_n shall_v always_o flow_v from_o a_o disposition_n that_o be_v generous_a and_o above_o the_o narrow_a design_n of_o interest_n and_o self-love_n but_o because_o we_o can_v have_v too_o many_o tie_n to_o so_o excellent_a a_o virtue_n and_o so_o great_a a_o ornament_n of_o our_o nature_n i_o must_v pass_v on_o to_o those_o which_o may_v work_v even_o upon_o they_o who_o have_v some_o tincture_n of_o the_o mercenary_a and_o ambitious_a for_o ii_o the_o second_o motive_n to_o charity_n contain_v in_o the_o text_n be_v a_o argument_n of_o interest_n viz._n the_o reward_v it_o shall_v meet_v with_o in_o the_o resurrection_n express_v in_o these_o word_n inherit_v the_o kingdom_n prepare_v for_o you_o from_o the_o foundation_n of_o the_o world_n now_o this_o be_v a_o expression_n that_o hint_n to_o we_o both_o the_o greatness_n and_o the_o continuance_n of_o that_o happiness_n which_o the_o charitable_a man_n be_v encourage_v to_o expect_v the_o world_n have_v nothing_o great_a than_o a_o kingdom_n at_o lest_o nothing_o that_o man_n general_o think_v great_a or_o covet_v more_o and_o therefore_o since_o our_o conception_n of_o a_o future_a state_n must_v be_v frame_v by_o notion_n take_v up_o in_o this_o there_o be_v no_o other_o way_n to_o describe_v it_o but_o by_o a_o allusion_n to_o those_o thing_n which_o be_v here_o the_o object_n of_o our_o desire_n or_o enjoyment_n and_o for_o this_o reason_n eternal_a happiness_n be_v call_v a_o kingdom_n a_o crown_n a_o throne_n and_o the_o like_a because_o man_n who_o be_v in_o possession_n of_o these_o be_v suppose_v how_o true_o they_o best_o know_v who_o have_v they_o to_o be_v in_o possession_n of_o all_o that_o be_v desirable_a in_o this_o life_n but_o since_o these_o be_v expression_n suit_v to_o our_o conception_n the_o meaning_n of_o they_o must_v be_v that_o the_o joy_n of_o heaven_n shall_v equal_v not_o what_o these_o thing_n be_v in_o reality_n for_o perhaps_o that_o will_v not_o be_v worth_a our_o wish_n but_o what_o our_o imagination_n fancy_n they_o be_v or_o that_o the_o ambitious_a can_v promise_v himself_o such_o charm_n in_o a_o crown_n as_o the_o charitable_a man_n shall_v find_v in_o heaven_n but_o then_o that_o heaven_n may_v not_o lose_v its_o value_n with_o those_o man_n who_o judge_v best_a that_o be_v those_o who_o see_v the_o vanity_n of_o all_o even_o the_o great_a thing_n on_o earth_n the_o scripture_n often_o supply_v the_o defect_n of_o such_o similitude_n as_o these_o by_o plain_a language_n and_o assure_v we_o that_o eye_n have_v not_o see_v nor_o ear_n hear_v neither_o have_v it_o enter_v into_o the_o heart_n of_o man_n to_o conceive_v the_o thing_n that_o god_n have_v lay_v up_o for_o they_o that_o love_v he_o and_o we_o may_v add_v for_o they_o who_o love_v their_o brethren_n too_o such_o be_v the_o weight_n of_o the_o glory_n that_o shall_v one_o day_n be_v reveal_v in_o the_o charitable_a man_n and_o it_o be_v not_o the_o least_o article_n in_o it_o that_o it_o be_v a_o glory_n which_o shall_v not_o be_v do_v away_o for_o it_o be_v a_o kingdom_n prepare_v from_o the_o foundation_n of_o the_o world_n it_o be_v true_a these_o word_n seem_v at_o first_o sight_n only_o to_o denote_v the_o certainty_n of_o this_o reward_n as_o that_o which_o the_o eternal_a purpose_n of_o god_n which_o can_v fail_v have_v prepare_v for_o good_a man_n but_o they_o very_o well_o imply_v the_o eternity_n of_o that_o state_n and_o intimate_v that_o it_o be_v a_o part_n of_o that_o blessedness_n which_o god_n himself_o enjoy_v which_o be_v before_o the_o world_n and_o for_o that_o reason_n must_v be_v after_o it_o they_o be_v create_v thing_n only_o that_o be_v mortal_a and_o what_o be_v from_o eternity_n before_o this_o world_n be_v make_v must_v be_v to_o eternity_n when_o it_o be_v dissolve_v so_o that_o these_o two_o consideration_n seem_v to_o involve_v all_o that_o can_v possible_o be_v desire_v in_o any_o state_n that_o it_o be_v perfect_a happiness_n and_o that_o it_o will_v always_o be_v so_o and_o if_o this_o be_v the_o reward_n of_o the_o charitable_a man_n than_o i_o think_v these_o three_o thing_n be_v very_o plain_a 1._o that_o what_o we_o give_v away_o in_o charity_n be_v not_o lose_v it_o be_v not_o a_o waste_n make_v of_o the_o good_a thing_n we_o enjoy_v as_o the_o selfish_a man_n be_v apt_a to_o imagine_v who_o think_v that_o perish_a which_o be_v remove_v from_o himself_o it_o be_v but_o lend_v and_o will_v be_v repay_v in_o due_a time_n for_o he_o that_o pity_v the_o poor_a dare_v unto_o the_o lord_n and_o look_v what_o he_o lay_v out_o it_o shall_v be_v pay_v he_o again_o a_o little_a expectation_n will_v re-imburse_a we_o and_o we_o may_v throw_v our_o bread_n upon_o the_o water_n and_o it_o will_v return_v to_o we_o after_o many_o day_n it_o will_v probable_o enough_o find_v we_o on_o this_o side_n the_o grave_a but_o if_o not_o it_o will_v make_v a_o sure_a return_n beyond_o it_o the_o poor_a who_o we_o relieve_v may_v never_o be_v in_o a_o capacity_n to_o recompense_v we_o but_o their_o surety_n always_o be_v and_o he_o will_v recompense_v we_o at_o the_o resurrection_n of_o the_o just_a 2._o what_o we_o bestow_v in_o charity_n be_v better_a preserve_v for_o we_o than_o it_o can_v possible_o be_v by_o any_o other_o method_n all_o the_o matter_n of_o our_o charity_n be_v subject_a to_o decay_v and_o be_v corruptible_a in_o itself_o it_o be_v charity_n only_o that_o can_v preserve_v it_o for_o ever_o the_o bread_n we_o deal_v to_o the_o hungry_a and_o the_o drink_v we_o reach_v to_o the_o thirsty_a will_v but_o mould_n and_o sour_a if_o we_o keep_v they_o by_o we_o the_o garment_n wherewith_o we_o clothe_v the_o naked_a will_v be_v eat_v up_o by_o moth_n and_o rottenness_n if_o they_o be_v not_o employ_v and_o even_o our_o silver_n and_o gold_n be_v expose_v to_o rust_v and_o rapine_n and_o at_o best_a can_v serve_v we_o no_o further_o than_o this_o present_a life_n now_o this_o be_v but_o a_o insignificant_a moment_n of_o the_o great_a duration_n of_o man_n which_o be_v to_o all_o eternity_n and_o for_o this_o reason_n that_o virtue_n must_v be_v of_o wonderful_a advantage_n to_o we_o that_o can_v render_v these_o immortal_a and_o make_v they_o useful_a in_o another_o life_n and_o yet_o this_o be_v certain_o do_v by_o charity_n and_o pity_n he_o therefore_o be_v the_o wise_a man_n who_o do_v not_o lay_v up_o for_o himself_o treasure_n upon_o earth_n where_o rust_n and_o moth_n do_v corrupt_a and_o where_o thief_n break_v through_o and_o steal_v but_o lay_v up_o for_o himself_o treasure_n in_o heaven_n where_o neither_o rust_n nor_o moth_n do_v corrupt_a and_o where_o thief_n do_v not_o break_v through_o and_o steal_v and_o he_o be_v the_o best_a friend_n to_o himself_o who_o be_v a_o kind_a friend_n and_o benefactor_n to_o other_o who_o make_v

to_o resist_v they_o but_o since_o human_a nature_n be_v too_o apt_a to_o be_v insensible_a or_o cold_a or_o forgetful_a i_o shall_v crave_v leave_n to_o excite_v your_o charity_n as_o it_o be_v a_o piece_n of_o gratitude_n to_o our_o saviour_n on_o these_o four_o account_n 1._o as_o he_o be_v one_o that_o love_v we_o and_o that_o with_o such_o a_o degree_n of_o tenderness_n as_o human_a affection_n can_v never_o measure_v and_o human_a expression_n can_v never_o describe_v he_o who_o be_v god_n bless_v for_o evermore_o leave_v the_o bosom_n of_o his_o father_n to_o dwell_v among_o we_o he_o unite_v himself_o to_o we_o not_o in_o appearance_n only_o but_o in_o nature_n take_v our_o flesh_n and_o blood_n upon_o he_o make_v we_o his_o friend_n his_o brethren_n and_o even_a member_n of_o himself_o undeserving_a unprofitable_a and_o rebellious_a as_o we_o be_v and_o for_o no_o other_o reason_n that_o we_o can_v fathom_v but_o his_o own_o good_a will_n and_o unmerited_a kindness_n he_o distinguish_v man_n from_o those_o noble_a being_n that_o want_v a_o redeemer_n as_o much_o as_o we_o for_o he_o take_v not_o upon_o he_o the_o nature_n of_o angel_n but_o he_o take_v upon_o he_o the_o seed_n of_o abraham_n now_o the_o most_o natural_a effect_n of_o love_n be_v to_o beget_v love_n again_o and_o a_o love_n resemble_v that_o which_o call_v for_o it_o and_o can_v we_o see_v what_o have_v so_o love_v we_o and_o what_o we_o ought_v so_o to_o love_v again_o poor_a and_o naked_a and_o hungry_a and_o grieve_v and_o grant_v no_o compassion_n or_o relief_n and_o yet_o this_o be_v our_o case_n when_o we_o be_v hard-hearted_a and_o uncharitable_a to_o our_o afflict_a brethren_n it_o be_v our_o saviour_n that_o suffer_v in_o they_o and_o call_v for_o our_o help_n and_o when_o we_o commiserate_v their_o condition_n and_o supply_v their_o want_n we_o be_v but_o oblige_v and_o grateful_a to_o he_o that_o first_o love_v we_o 2._o our_o gratitude_n be_v due_a to_o our_o saviour_n as_o he_o be_v our_o great_a benefactor_n as_o one_o who_o love_n have_v not_o be_v bare_a benevolence_n but_o have_v flow_v to_o we_o in_o stream_n of_o unspeakable_a bounty_n he_o have_v not_o only_o pity_v our_o ignorance_n and_o blindness_n but_o have_v illuminate_v our_o mind_n by_o a_o clear_a revelation_n of_o the_o will_n of_o god_n and_o the_o duty_n of_o man_n he_o compassion_n our_o weakness_n and_o he_o support_v it_o by_o his_o constant_a encouragement_n and_o assistance_n he_o intercede_v for_o our_o pardon_n daily_o when_o we_o do_v amiss_o and_o he_o as_o daily_o offer_v his_o grace_n to_o enable_v we_o to_o do_v better_a he_o protect_v we_o and_o guide_v we_o in_o this_o world_n and_o have_v prepare_v mansion_n for_o we_o in_o a_o future_a and_o can_v we_o live_v under_o these_o and_o infinite_a more_o continue_v blessing_n of_o the_o like_a nature_n and_o never_o think_v of_o do_v any_o thing_n in_o return_n benefaction_n do_v certain_o create_v a_o debt_n and_o though_o may_v be_v civil_a law_n do_v not_o take_v notice_n of_o it_o or_o can_v enforce_v it_o yet_o the_o law_n of_o nature_n do_v oblige_v we_o to_o re-payment_n and_o if_o we_o can_v pay_v such_o debt_n as_o these_o only_o by_o communicate_v some_o of_o our_o convenience_n perhaps_o only_o our_o superfluity_n to_o creature_n like_o ourselves_o who_o want_n call_v for_o it_o and_o who_o comfort_n and_o ease_n and_o sometime_o even_a life_n and_o be_v depend_v upon_o it_o sure_o we_o ought_v to_o be_v please_v with_o the_o occasion_n and_o to_o close_v with_o it_o and_o rejoice_v that_o our_o saviour_n afford_v we_o any_o mean_n especial_o so_o reasonable_a and_o so_o grateful_a one_o of_o demonstrate_v our_o sense_n of_o his_o love_n and_o our_o gratitude_n for_o his_o benefaction_n 3._o the_o compassionate_a jesus_n be_v not_o only_o our_o benefactor_n but_o our_o deliverer_n too_o and_o have_v rescue_v we_o from_o the_o most_o intolerable_a evil_n that_o human_a nature_n can_v groan_v under_o from_o the_o tyranny_n of_o sin_n the_o wrath_n of_o god_n and_o everlasting_a death_n this_o be_v indeed_o one_o of_o his_o benefaction_n but_o i_o mention_v it_o distinct_o because_o our_o sense_n of_o evil_n be_v much_o more_o quick_a and_o affect_v than_o that_o of_o good_a and_o deliverance_n from_o what_o hurt_n or_o torment_v we_o do_v infinite_o more_o oblige_v than_o addition_n make_v to_o our_o happiness_n kindness_n and_o good_a turn_n that_o be_v do_v we_o in_o our_o prosperity_n very_o often_o lose_v their_o price_n with_o we_o our_o negligence_n overlook_v they_o or_o our_o pride_n undervalue_v they_o or_o reckon_v they_o as_o due_a but_o the_o evil_n we_o lie_v under_o convince_v we_o of_o our_o frailty_n and_o emptiness_n and_o represent_v our_o deliverer_n as_o fraught_v with_o favour_n and_o obligation_n how_o do_v we_o respect_v those_o who_o restore_v we_o to_o our_o health_n from_o a_o painful_a or_o a_o tedious_a sickness_n how_o do_v we_o honour_v they_o who_o deliver_v we_o out_o of_o captivity_n or_o imprisonment_n and_o bless_v they_o for_o the_o sweet_n of_o that_o liberty_n which_o we_o regain_v by_o their_o help_n and_o how_o do_v we_o magnify_v that_o conduct_n and_o that_o courage_n which_o rescue_v we_o from_o a_o tyranny_n on_o our_o conscience_n or_o oppression_n in_o our_o right_n or_o estate_n no_o honour_n no_o zeal_n no_o service_n be_v think_v enough_o and_o true_o scarce_o any_o be_v enough_o to_o show_v the_o inward_a feeling_n we_o have_v of_o such_o benefit_n now_o will_v we_o but_o apply_v this_o argument_n to_o the_o present_a case_n it_o will_v have_v more_o weight_n than_o it_o can_v in_o any_o other_o instance_n no_o deliverer_n can_v free_v we_o from_o such_o evil_n as_o our_o saviour_n have_v do_v no_o physician_n can_v heal_v we_o like_o that_o physician_n of_o our_o soul_n no_o conqueror_n can_v retrieve_v we_o from_o such_o a_o captivity_n as_o that_o we_o be_v under_o to_o sin_n or_o from_o such_o a_o tyranny_n as_o that_o we_o be_v oppress_v with_o by_o satan_n who_o lead_v we_o away_o captive_a at_o his_o will_n and_o then_o the_o natural_a result_n must_v be_v that_o all_o that_o we_o can_v do_v to_o testify_v our_o acknowledgement_n be_v here_o most_o just_o apply_v that_o whatever_o we_o can_v return_v be_v still_o too_o little_a and_o our_o mind_n must_v always_o owe_v what_o our_o action_n can_v sufficient_o express_v and_o this_o shall_v make_v we_o desirous_a of_o occasion_n for_o our_o charity_n ready_a in_o embrace_v they_o and_o zealous_a in_o promote_a the_o end_n of_o they_o we_o shall_v think_v we_o can_v never_o do_v good_a enough_o to_o express_v our_o thankfulness_n to_o he_o who_o have_v deliver_v we_o from_o so_o much_o evil_n nor_o can_v we_o reckon_v ourselves_o worthy_a of_o the_o happiness_n we_o enjoy_v while_o we_o can_v see_v any_o poor_a member_n of_o our_o saviour_n in_o misery_n call_v
