be_v they_o young_a or_o aged_n as_o long_o as_o they_o be_v uncapable_a of_o subsist_v by_o themselves_o our_o saviour_n in_o the_o word_n of_o my_o text_n effectual_o recommend_v they_o to_o be_v treat_v with_o all_o humanity_n and_o tender_a mercy_n such_o poor_a as_o these_o be_v the_o wealth_n of_o a_o christian_a corporation_n as_o that_o holy_a deacon_n s._n laurence_n answer_v that_o

may_v say_v these_o be_v not_o only_o as_o the_o public_a stock_n of_o your_o city_n but_o as_o its_o wall_n and_o bulwark_n and_o the_o mercy_n you_o show_v to_o such_o as_o these_o be_v as_o one_o

of_o mercy_n and_o thus_o i_o be_o come_v into_o my_o four_o and_o last_o part_n the_o glory_n of_o this_o grace_n or_o the_o great_a reward_n of_o charity_n so_o much_o the_o great_a when_o it_o

if_o they_o will_v repay_v thou_o but_o he_o that_o assure_o can_v infallible_o will_v so_o this_o be_v place_v our_o charity_n as_o usurer_n do_v their_o money_n most_o willing_o on_o good_a

interest_n not_o that_o the_o charitable_a man_n go_v without_o a_o blessing_n in_o this_o life_n the_o poor_a have_v a_o special_a prerogative_n from_o god_n to_o bless_v and_o as_o rich_a as_o job_n be_v before_o his_o adversity_n he_o be_v high_o please_v to_o receive_v their_o benediction_n when_o the_o ear_n hear_v i_o then_o it_o bless_v i_o because_o i_o deliver_v the_o poor_a that_o cry_v

and_o give_v he_o none_o occasion_n to_o curse_v thou_o for_o if_o he_o curse_v thou_o in_o the_o bitterness_n of_o his_o soul_n his_o prayer_n shall_v be_v hear_v of_o he_o that_o make_v he_o

a_o petition_n or_o charge_n upon_o he_o that_o provoke_v and_o extort_v it_o but_o on_o the_o other_o side_n how_o many_o be_v the_o blessing_n that_o be_v even_o heap_v upon_o the_o liberal_a soul_n that_o devise_v liberal_a thing_n and_o by_o liberal_a thing_n shall_v he_o be_v establish_v if_o bless_v he_o in_o his_o person_n that_o consider_v the_o poor_a and_o needy_a if_o deliver_v he_o in_o the_o time_n of_o trouble_n if_o preserve_v he_o and_o keep_v he_o alive_a that_o he_o may_v be_v bless_v upon_o earth_n if_o comfort_v he_o when_o he_o lie_v sick_a upon_o his_o bed_n and_o make_v all_o his_o bed_n in_o his_o sickness_n if_o these_o be_v mighty_a blessing_n all_o these_o be_v put_v together_o in_o one_o place_n and_o a_o concordance_n will_v help_v i_o to_o a_o thousand_o more_o such_o place_n full_a of_o blessing_n as_o great_a and_o as_o certain_a as_o these_o and_o all_o these_o on_o this_o side_n heaven_n but_o the_o strong_a motive_n of_o all_o be_v that_o in_o
