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 whereupon_o say_v david_n psal._n 62._o 12._o unto_o thou_o o_o lord_n belong_v mercy_n for_o thou_o rendre_v to_o every_o man_n according_a to_o his_o work_n though_o god_n do_v not_o render_v a_o reward_n to_o any_o man_n for_o his_o work_n do_v yet_o do_v he_o render_v to_o every_o man_n according_a to_o his_o work_n so_o that_o whosoever_o have_v do_v a_o good_a work_n shall_v be_v sure_a 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 dis-bursed_n upon_o his_o account_n he_o will_v speedy_o return_v into_o his_o bosom_n with_o advantage_n not_o that_o the_o liberality_n of_o the_o rich_a do_v merit_v any_o thing_n at_o the_o hand_n

my_o own_o experience_n speak_v much_o of_o his_o bounty_n and_o charity_n as_o also_o of_o that_o plentiful_a estate_n wherewith_o god_n bless_v he_o thereupon_o but_o i_o shall_v rather_o give_v

these_o he_o be_v a_o man_n eminent_a and_o exemplary_a in_o the_o grace_n of_o charity_n as_o appear_v by_o his_o great_a bounty_n manifest_v on_o every_o occasion_n never_o any_o good_a man_n

than_o many_o other_o rich_a man_n make_v of_o give_v ten_o shilling_n his_o charity_n have_v two_o singular_a concomitant_n which_o make_v it_o the_o more_o remarkable_a and_o praiseworthy_a 1._o he_o do_v good_a while_o he_o live_v he_o carry_v his_o lantern_n before_o he_o he_o make_v his_o own_o hand_n his_o executor_n and_o his_o own_o eye_n his_o overseer_n some_o will_v part_v with_o

no_o long_o but_o to_o be_v do_v good_a in_o our_o life-time_n while_o we_o have_v opportunity_n this_o be_v a_o act_n of_o faith_n and_o a_o evidence_n that_o we_o can_v trust_v god_n with_o our_o

self-seeking_a or_o pharisaical_a vainglory_n that_o his_o left_a hand_n do_v not_o know_v what_o his_o right_a hand_n do_v therefore_o do_v he_o often_o go_v with_o a_o hundred_o pound_n under_o his_o cloak_n to_o some_o godly_a friend_n desire_v they_o to_o distribute_v it_o among_o such_o honest_a poor_a people_n as_o stand_v in_o most_o need_n of_o relief_n in_o brief_a he_o do_v so_o much_o good_a while_n he_o live_v as_o if_o he_o mean_v to_o have_v nothing_o to_o do_v when_o he_o die_v and_o yet_o he_o give_v so_o large_o when_o he_o come_v to_o die_v as_o if_o he_o have_v do_v no_o good_a when_o he_o live_v many_o i_o know_v be_v apt_a to_o say_v they_o have_v many_o child_n and_o therefore_o can_v give_v so_o have_v mr._n waldow_n he_o have_v nine_o child_n alive_a at_o

for_o the_o avoid_n of_o vainglory_n his_o manner_n be_v to_o send_v considerable_a sum_n of_o money_n to_o several_a poor_a family_n by_o the_o hand_n of_o other_o in_o who_o faithfulness_n he_o
