benign_a disposition_n which_o will_v use_v they_o well_o and_o to_o good_a purpose_n that_o make_v they_o commendable_a and_o the_o object_n of_o our_o praise_n proceed_v we_o far_o to_o a_o devotional_a temper_n that_o engage_v we_o to_o be_v strict_a in_o religious_a performance_n and_o that_o huge_o become_v man_n to_o be_v hearty_a and_o solemn_a and_o constant_a in_o the_o worship_n of_o god_n yet_o even_o this_o will_v not_o procure_v we_o honour_n if_o not_o accompany_v with_o beneficence_n and_o attend_v by_o good_a work_n for_o though_o a_o man_n sequester_v hour_n and_o day_n for_o pray_v and_o fast_v though_o he_o spend_v much_o time_n in_o read_v and_o contemplation_n though_o he_o be_v constant_a at_o church_n and_o much_o in_o his_o closet_n though_o he_o miss_v not_o prayer_n twice_o a_o day_n nor_o fast_v twice_o a_o week_n though_o he_o fast_o as_o often_o and_o pray_v as_o long_o as_o the_o devout_a pharisee_n yet_o if_o like_o they_o he_o devour_v widow_n house_n and_o cat_n the_o bread_n of_o orphan_n though_o he_o tithe_v mint_n and_o cummin_n yet_o if_o he_o pass_v over_o truth_n and_o judgement_n and_o mercy_n if_o he_o that_o be_v thus_o devout_a towards_o god_n be_v unjust_a or_o but_o unkind_a and_o uncharitable_a to_o man_n we_o look_v on_o he_o as_o a_o impostor_n and_o a_o cheat_n we_o conclude_v his_o devotion_n to_o be_v animal_n and_o formal_a and_o his_o religion_n false_a the_o religion_n of_o the_o pharisee_n but_o not_o that_o which_o he_o teach_v who_o as_o he_o go_v up_o into_o the_o mountain_n to_o pray_v so_o he_o go_v about_o do_v good_n we_o read_v of_o moses_n when_o he_o come_v down_o from_o the_o presence_n of_o god_n his_o face_n shine_v and_o we_o all_o expect_v that_o humility_n and_o modesty_n that_o benignity_n and_o goodness_n shall_v appear_v in_o the_o look_n and_o carriage_n of_o those_o that_o have_v be_v in_o converse_n with_o god_n that_o they_o who_o have_v behold_v the_o glory_n of_o god_n and_o confess_v their_o own_o vileness_n who_o have_v praise_v and_o seek_v his_o goodness_n and_o mercy_n shall_v themselves_o be_v meek_a and_o lowly_a compassionate_a and_o forbear_v to_o their_o fellow-creature_n if_o they_o be_v otherwise_o if_o merciless_a and_o cruel_a if_o peevish_a and_o froward_a if_o clamorous_a and_o unquiet_a if_o revengeful_a and_o malicious_a if_o inhuman_a and_o uncivil_a we_o then_o think_v that_o they_o do_v not_o in_o good_a earnest_a praise_n that_o in_o god_n which_o themselves_o do_v not_o imitate_v nor_o that_o they_o think_v themselves_o to_o need_v mercy_n who_o will_v not_o show_v it_o to_o other_o for_o it_o be_v the_o sense_n of_o all_o man_n that_o he_o who_o be_v true_o religious_a who_o worship_v god_n as_o he_o ought_v will_v also_o do_v good_a to_o men._n therefore_o let_v all_o show_v the_o truth_n of_o their_o devotion_n by_o the_o benignity_n of_o their_o temper_n and_o the_o goodness_n of_o their_o life_n thus_o we_o see_v religion_n will_v not_o avail_v to_o honour_n if_o separate_v from_o benesicence_n and_o do_v good_n nay_o even_o justice_n itself_o though_o nothing_o can_v be_v commendable_a without_o it_o though_o it_o lay_v the_o foundation_n of_o praise_n yet_o if_o not_o in_o conjunction_n with_o benignity_n it_o be_v not_o sufficient_a to_o entitle_v a_o man_n to_o the_o name_n of_o just_a he_o do_v good_a as_o far_o as_o the_o law_n require_v but_o no_o further_o and_o so_o we_o know_v not_o whether_o his_o good_a work_n proceed_v from_o nature_n and_o temper_n or_o from_o external_a motive_n whether_o from_o love_n and_o a_o benign_a disposition_n or_o from_o fear_n and_o because_o he_o dare_v not_o disobey_v public_a sanction_n for_o many_o man_n justice_n be_v to_o be_v resolve_v into_o their_o fear_n and_o neither_o their_o wisdom_n nor_o their_o choice_n beside_o if_o justice_n be_v not_o direct_v and_o regulate_v by_o goodness_n there_o be_v no_o place_n for_o equity_n and_o that_o be_v justice_n in_o name_n only_o but_o not_o in_o reality_n which_o be_v part_v from_o equity_n in_o sum_n it_o be_v benignity_n and_o godness_n that_o keep_v justice_n from_o degenerate_v into_o sowrness_n and_o severity_n into_o a_o inflexible_a obstinacy_n a_o rigid_a adherence_n to_o letter_n and_o apexes_n to_o punctilio_n and_o form_n and_o rule_n indeed_o from_o become_v the_o high_a injustice_n thus_o that_o justice_n which_o be_v so_o essential_a to_o all_o honourable_a action_n be_v behold_v to_o benignity_n both_o for_o its_o be_v and_o for_o its_o name_n and_o now_o i_o have_v show_v that_o those_o quality_n which_o when_o they_o be_v instrumental_a to_o benisicence_n so_o much_o commend_v a_o man_n when_o they_o be_v either_o not_o use_v or_o to_o ill_a purpose_n they_o be_v either_o matter_n of_o reproach_n or_o add_v nothing_o to_o his_o honour_n i_o will_v conclude_v this_o particular_a with_o this_o short_a appeal_n suppose_v on_o the_o other_o side_n a_o good-natured_a beneficent_a man_n strip_v of_o most_o of_o those_o natural_a and_o acquire_v perfection_n and_o endowment_n he_o have_v little_a but_o use_n and_o do_v good_a with_o that_o he_o have_v his_o understanding_n be_v not_o increase_v by_o learning_n nor_o have_v he_o have_v much_o opportunity_n to_o improve_v it_o by_o general_a observation_n but_o the_o knowledge_n he_o have_v he_o impart_v and_o will_v not_o fail_v where_o he_o can_v to_o counsel_v those_o that_o want_v it_o he_o can_v give_v little_a alm_n but_o he_o throw_v in_o his_o mite_n all_o he_o can_v spare_v and_o such_o as_o he_o have_v his_o pain_n he_o will_v free_o bestow_v his_o devotion_n be_v not_o pompous_a nor_o solemn_a nor_o long_o he_o can_v set_v apart_o hour_n for_o prayer_n but_o all_o his_o time_n be_v spend_v in_o do_v the_o good_a that_o be_v within_o his_o sphere_n though_o his_o goodness_n reach_v not_o to_o god_n in_o heaven_n yet_o it_o do_v to_o his_o creature_n he_o be_v poor_a in_o estate_n but_o rich_a in_o good_a work_n be_v in_o low_a place_n and_o have_v small_a power_n but_o great_a goodwill_n be_v ignorant_a in_o many_o and_o

notice_n of_o but_o his_o visit_n to_o his_o poor_a neighbour_n can_v be_v hide_v in_o short_a he_o that_o hurt_v none_o and_o do_v good_a to_o all_o and_o if_o he_o do_v not_o do_v good_a it_o be_v for_o want_v of_o power_n and_o skill_n not_o of_o inclination_n this_o man_n be_v love_v and_o value_v honour_a whilst_o he_o live_v and_o after_o death_n be_v remember_v and_o praise_v whereas_o the_o proud_a and_o useless_a pedant_n the_o rich_a but_o covetous_a miser_n the_o man_n of_o great_a place_n that_o use_v his_o power_n to_o do_v evil_a or_o do_v not_o use_v it_o in_o do_v good_a office_n their_o name_n shall_v be_v forget_v or_o remember_v with_o scorn_n and_o infamy_n here_o then_o be_v the_o only_a way_n to_o honour_n to_o be_v beneficent_a will_v we_o be_v esteem_v whilst_o we_o live_v and_o poise_v when_o we_o die_v let_v we_o do_v good_n let_v our_o own_o work_n praise_v we_o and_o then_o man_n will_v not_o be_v silent_a the_o universal_a benefactor_n as_o

3._o i_o will_v endeavour_v to_o show_v that_o to_o do_v good_a be_v the_o way_n to_o make_v we_o rich._n there_o be_v too_o many_o in_o the_o world_n who_o think_v that_o man_n life_n consist_v in_o the_o abundance_n of_o the_o thing_n he_o possess_v to_o be_v rich_a be_v in_o their_o account_n the_o chief_a good_a and_o the_o great_a if_o not_o only_a happiness_n the_o objection_n which_o they_o have_v against_o do_v good_a be_v yet_o unremoved_a this_o they_o fear_v be_v a_o expensive_a practice_n and_o will_v waste_v their_o estate_n for_o beneficence_n can_v consist_v with_o injustice_n with_o fraud_n or_o oppression_n with_o pinch_v and_o scrape_v and_o all_o the_o sinful_a little_a sordid_a art_n they_o have_v use_v to_o make_v themselves_o rich._n i_o do_v not_o now_o go_v about_o to_o show_v they_o the_o unreasonableness_n of_o their_o desire_n but_o suppose_v riches_n to_o be_v as_o good_a as_o they_o imagine_v i_o will_v endeavour_v to_o make_v it_o out_o that_o to_o do_v
