A41657	The surest & safest way of thriving, or, A conviction of that grand mistake in many, that what is given to the poor, is a loss to their estate : which is so directly contrary as to the experiences of the charitable : so to the testimony of God's spirit in divers places of Scripture ... by Thomas Gouge ...

be_v such_o that_o he_o will_v not_o suffer_v any_o work_n of_o charity_n show_v to_o any_o of_o his_o minister_n or_o child_n to_o pass_v away_o unrewarded_a without_o a_o full_a recompense_n

to_o receive_v a_o royal_a reward_n from_o god_n for_o the_o same_o yea_o god_n do_v always_o exceed_v in_o his_o remuneration_n to_o give_v evidence_n of_o his_o grace_n and_o bounty_n so_o that_o not_o only_o no_o man_n shall_v sit_v down_o a_o loser_n but_o shall_v be_v a_o great_a gainer_n in_o the_o end_n god_n will_v not_o be_v in_o any_o man_n debt_n long_o but_o what_o he_o have_v
