and_o the_o prophet_n if_o thy_o brother_n be_v wax_v poor_a and_o fall_v in_o decay_n with_o thou_o then_o thou_o shall_v relieve_v he_o yea_o though_o he_o be_v a_o stranger_n or_o a_o sojourner_n

the_o lord_n thy_o god_n give_v thou_o thou_o shall_v not_o harden_v thy_o heart_n nor_o shut_v thy_o hand_n from_o thy_o poor_a brother_n thou_o shall_v sure_o give_v he_o and_o thy_o heart_n shall_v

do_v not_o fancy_v that_o because_o your_o estate_n be_v your_o own_o that_o therefore_o you_o have_v liberty_n to_o bequeath_v it_o as_o you_o please_v for_o though_o it_o be_v thus_o far_o your_o

must_v short_o give_v a_o account_n of_o your_o stewardship_n and_o how_o you_o have_v distribute_v and_o bequeath_v your_o estate_n iv_o make_v a_o just_a will._n before_o i_o can_v exhort_v the_o testator_n to_o be_v charitable_a of_o which_o in_o its_o proper_a place_n i_o must_v first_o admonish_v he_o to_o be_v just_o and_o when_o i_o advise_v he_o to_o be_v just_o i_o do_v not_o so_o

satisfy_v that_o he_o have_v a_o just_a title_n to_o it_o and_o that_o what_o he_o dispose_v be_v his_o own_o we_o have_v a_o blunt_a proverb_n concern_v some_o man_n who_o rob_v peter_n to_o pay_v

charitable_a in_o other_o and_o this_o i_o doubt_v be_v too_o frequent_a a_o practice_n but_o let_v such_o man_n know_v though_o they_o do_v not_o love_v to_o be_v tell_v it_o there_o be_v a_o duty_n call_v restitution_n whereby_o all_o injurious_a person_n be_v not_o only_o oblige_v to_o make_v a_o reconcile_a acknowledgement_n but_o also_o reparation_n and_o satisfaction_n for_o the_o wrong_n they_o have_v do_v to_o enforce_v this_o though_o brief_o i_o shall_v a_o little_a explain_v the_o nature_n of_o restitution_n with_o the_o reason_n of_o it_o as_o our_o duty_n be_v twofold_a our_o duty_n towards_o god_n and_o our_o duty_n towards_o our_o neighbour_n so_o also_o sin_n and_o transgression_n which_o be_v a_o breach_n and_o violation_n of_o that_o duty_n be_v likewise_o twofold_a viz._n sin_n against_o god_n and_o sin_n against_o our_o neighbour_n both_o these_o kind_n of_o sin_n shall_v certain_o be_v pardon_v upon_o our_o true_a repentance_n because_o god_n who_o be_v faithful_a and_o just_a have_v express_o promise_v pardon_n upon_o that_o condition_n but_o now_o it_o be_v pertinent_a to_o remind_v you_o that_o more_o be_v require_v to_o perfect_v our_o repentance_n of_o sin_n against_o our_o neighbour_n than_o of_o sin_n against_o god_n only_o sin_n against_o god_n only_o be_v sufficient_o atone_v by_o reformation_n and_o amendment_n when_o we_o return_v to_o our_o duty_n and_o own_o the_o divine_a authority_n by_o a_o sincere_a obedience_n the_o justice_n of_o god_n be_v then_o satisfy_v and_o he_o will_v again_o receive_v we_o into_o his_o grace_n and_o favour_n through_o the_o powerful_a intercession_n of_o our_o dear_a redeemer_n but_o now_o as_o to_o those_o sin_n which_o do_v not_o bare_o offend_v god_n but_o be_v also_o offensive_a and_o injurious_a to_o our_o neighbour_n the_o case_n be_v different_a and_o there_o be_v more_o require_v to_o the_o pardon_n of_o such_o sin_n for_o sin_n against_o our_o neighbour_n do_v not_o only_o include_v a_o offence_n against_o god_n who_o have_v command_v we_o to_o love_v our_o brother_n but_o also_o a_o affront_n and_o injury_n against_o man_n and_o therefore_o though_o upon_o our_o true_a repentance_n god_n will_v forgive_v his_o share_n of_o the_o sin_n and_o will_v remit_v it_o so_o far_o as_o it_o be_v a_o act_n of_o disobedience_n against_o himself_o yet_o he_o will_v not_o forgive_v the_o affront_n and_o injury_n against_o man_n till_o we_o have_v first_o seek_v a_o reconciliation_n with_o those_o we_o have_v affront_v and_o have_v make_v restitution_n to_o those_o we_o have_v wrong_v by_o give_v satisfaction_n for_o the_o damage_n that_o have_v be_v do_v they_o of_o this_o reconciliation_n the_o necessity_n of_o it_o and_o the_o manner_n how_o it_o be_v to_o be_v
