to_o stir_v we_o up_o to_o this_o marvellous_a neglect_a duty_n of_o kindness_n and_o mercy_n to_o those_o that_o stand_v in_o need_n other_o and_o because_o christ_n be_v our_o pattern_n herein_o let_v we_o labour_n to_o imitate_v christ_n in_o the_o manner_n of_o relieve_v and_o show_v kindness_n and_o communicate_v to_o other_o that_o we_o may_v do_v it_o as_o christ_n have_v do_v how_o be_v that_o speedy_o first_o christ_n prevent_v we_o when_o we_o never_o desire_v he_o so_o we_o shall_v prevent_v other_o sometime_o the_o modesty_n of_o those_o that_o want_v be_v such_o that_o they_o will_v not_o lay_v open_a their_o want_n we_o shall_v see_v it_o and_o prevent_v it_o he_o give_v too_o late_o oft_o time_n that_o give_v to_o a_o man_n that_o ask_v he_o therefore_o herein_o let_v we_o imitate_v christ_n to_o consider_v of_o the_o misery_n of_o other_o he_o look_v on_o and_o consider_v the_o misery_n of_o mankind_n and_o it_o draw_v he_o from_o heaven_n to_o the_o virgin_n womb_n from_o thence_o to_o the_o cross_n to_o the_o grave_n even_o as_o low_o as_o hell_n in_o his_o prevent_a love_n and_o mercy_n therefore_o when_o we_o see_v any_o need_n especial_o if_o there_o be_v any_o worth_n in_o they_o in_o any_o kind_n let_v we_o not_o stay_v till_o it_o be_v wrest_v from_o we_o by_o entreaty_n for_o it_o be_v dear_o buy_v oft_o time_n that_o come_v that_o way_n but_o prevent_v they_o in_o mercy_n as_o christ_n have_v do_v to_o we_o cheerful_o second_o what_o christ_n do_v for_o we_o he_o do_v marvellous_a cheerful_o and_o ready_o oh_o what_o a_o desire_n he_o have_v to_o eat_v his_o last_o passeover_n a_o little_a before_o he_o be_v crucify_v with_o a_o desire_n have_v i_o desire_v to_o eat_v this_o passover_n with_o you_o he_o be_v cheerful_a in_o it_o he_o have_v a_o great_a desire_n to_o do_v we_o good_a and_o as_o he_o say_v joh._n 4._o when_o his_o disciple_n put_v he_o in_o mind_n of_o eat_v when_o he_o have_v not_o eat_v in_o a_o long_a time_n before_o say_v he_o it_o be_v meat_n and_o drink_n to_o i_o to_o do_v the_o will_n of_o my_o father_n so_o whatsoever_o we_o do_v to_o other_o we_o shall_v do_v it_o cheerful_o and_o ready_o as_o he_o do_v again_o inward_o whatsoever_o christ_n do_v for_o we_o he_o do_v it_o out_o of_o love_n and_o grace_n and_o mercy_n he_o do_v it_o inward_o from_o his_o very_a bowel_n so_o when_o we_o do_v

a_o man_n and_o so_o in_o micah_n 6._o 6_o he_o have_v show_v thou_o oh_o man_n what_o be_v good_a to_o love_v mercy_n not_o only_o to_o be_v merciful_a to_o do_v work_n of_o mercy_n but_o to_o love_v it_o to_o do_v what_o we_o do_v out_o of_o love_n and_o affection_n and_o pour_v out_o thy_o heart_n to_o thy_o flesh_n as_o it_o be_v in_o i_o say_v to_o give_v the_o heart_n and_o affection_n when_o we_o do_v any_o thing_n or_o else_o we_o may_v give_v with_o the_o hand_n and_o deny_v with_o the_o heart_n a_o man_n may_v give_v a_o thing_n so_o untoward_o that_o one_o may_v see_v it_o come_v
