Roffens A SERMON PREACHED On St. Luke xiv 13 14. But when thou makest a Feast call the Poor the Maimed the Lame the Blind And thou shalt be Blessed for they cannot recompense thee for thou shalt be recompensed at the Resurrection of the Just WELL and Wisely has the Piety of those that went before us a Piety worthily follow'd by the present Noble Senators of this Great City Ordain'd and Appointed that these Holy festival-Festival-Days which wait upon easter-Easter-Day should be Honour'd with these solemn Assemblies and that in order to these two Great and Good Ends in the first place That of Praising God with the rest of the Christian World for the Glorious Resurrection of our Blessed Lord and Saviour in the second place That of stirring up our Affections to such Good Works and Alms Deeds as shall not fail to obtain their Ample Recompence at the Resurrection of the Just Now both these weighty subjects the Resurrection and Charity which shall then receive its Everlasting Rewards are joyn'd in my Text and it will challenge your best and most awful Attention if you will but consider how Christ has put them together in another Text where he gives us the same comfortable Expectation as he does here but also a terrible warning that the particular Test and Tryal of all men at the General Resurrection shall be their having perform'd or neglected these Offices of Charity to the Poor the Hungry the Naked or any way distressed Christians To find out and shew you the full extent and design of our Saviour's words in the Text 't is necessary to look back and lay before you the Occasion upon which they were spoken Our Lord you know was so Charitable so Condescending as to make himself Familiar and in a manner Domestique to those that were none of the best because he was still in hopes of doing them some good and having been reflected upon by the Pharisees for Eating with Publicans now to prevent their Murmuring he suffers himself to be over-entreated and invited by one of the Chief of the Pharisees to Eat Bread in his House where it quickly appear'd they had at least as much need of his Advice to Cure the Distempers of their minds as had those whom they contemptuously stiled Sinners for presently 't is sed that against all the Laws of Hospitality they watcht Him that was to steal His Words or to find somewhat in his Actions to Accuse and Defame him the Bait they had laid as most likely to take him was a Work of Charity A Man to be healed of a Dropsy But it was their Saboath-Day and when he puts them the Case of Conscience Whether it were Lawful to heal him then or no they held their Peace but with intent to make noise enough of it afterward in case he proceeded to work the Miracle of Mercy which nevertheless he did with a generous undaunted freedom and then what he had done he maintain'd with that strength of Argument as he reduced them to an absolute Incapacity of Answering him again to these things Now though they had utterly spoyl'd the Grace of the Treat they had given him by making his Table a Snare to him yet he whose Meat it was to do the Will of him that sent him and to finish his Work resolves to make a Spiritual Entertainment for them who had pretended to oblige him by Inviting him to partake with them their Corporal Food and first he gives them to understand That he would not Abridge their just Liberties of Entertaining nor even of Feasting one another but he would Regulate these Civil Meetings of theirs when he markt how they chose out the Chief Rooms he directs them how they may turn such Commerces and Correspondences as are necessary to support the Dignity and Comfort of Human Society into the Exercises of Virtue of that fundamental Virtue profound Humility if
