covetous_a and_o hard-hearted_a wretch_n than_o have_v of_o their_o sordid_a penuriousness_n in_o heap_v up_o riches_n without_o any_o tenderness_n or_o compassion_n to_o the_o necessity_n of_o their_o brethren_n and_o christ_n representative_n how_o will_v they_o wish_v ten_o thousand_o time_n when_o it_o will_v be_v to_o no_o purpose_n to_o wish_v that_o they_o have_v rather_o lay_v out_o their_o money_n in_o do_v good_a than_o lay_v it_o up_o for_o those_o who_o may_v go_v to_o hell_n the_o fast_o for_o the_o great_a temptation_n they_o leave_v behind_o they_o neither_o let_v the_o prodigal_a fool_n think_v they_o shall_v escape_v better_o for_o be_v so_o contrary_a to_o the_o gripe_a and_o stingy_a humour_n of_o the_o covetous_a for_o it_o be_v not_o the_o vain_a and_o careless_a squandr_v a_o estate_n away_o in_o riotous_a course_n will_v make_v a_o man_n condition_n more_o tolerable_a at_o that_o day_n but_o it_o be_v the_o provident_a seasonable_a careful_a distribution_n of_o our_o charity_n for_o wise_a and_o good_a end_n which_o shall_v meet_v with_o so_o glorious_a a_o reward_n 3._o especial_o in_o the_o last_o place_n if_o we_o faint_v not_o and_o do_v not_o repent_v of_o what_o good_a we_o have_v do_v but_o continue_v so_o do_v to_o the_o end_n of_o our_o life_n for_o this_o reason_n i_o presume_v it_o be_v that_o many_o reserve_v their_o great_a act_n of_o charity_n to_o their_o death_n but_o it_o be_v dangerous_a put_v off_o their_o repent_v and_o do_v good_a till_o they_o come_v to_o die_v for_o fear_v their_o heart_n or_o those_o who_o they_o trust_v deceive_v they_o but_o if_o man_n begin_v to_o do_v well_o in_o their_o health_n and_o strength_n let_v they_o not_o faint_v when_o they_o come_v to_o die_v but_o continue_v charitable_a as_o well_o as_o faithful_a unto_o death_n and_o god_n will_v give_v they_o a_o crown_n of_o life_n and_o now_o my_o business_n be_v to_o make_v particular_a application_n to_o this_o

for_o in_o due_a season_n you_o shall_v reap_v if_o you_o faint_v not_o you_o have_v already_o break_v through_o many_o discouragement_n and_o since_o the_o sad_a calamity_n of_o plague_n and_o fire_n

palace_n we_o have_v live_v in_o a_o age_n that_o have_v behold_v strange_a revolution_n astonish_a judgement_n and_o wonderful_a deliverance_n what_o all_o the_o fermentation_n that_o be_v still_o among_o we_o may_v end_v in_o god_n alone_o know_v our_o unanswerable_a return_n to_o god_n for_o his_o great_a mercy_n may_v just_o make_v we_o fear_v that_o he_o have_v great_a scourge_n provide_v
