poor_a man_n have_v not_o so_o much_o fuel_n for_o his_o uncleanness_n as_o you_o have_v nor_o so_o much_o fuel_n for_o his_o pride_n and_o malice_n as_o you_o have_v and_o many_o rich_a man_n account_v the_o blessing_n and_o happiness_n of_o their_o estate_n to_o consist_v in_o this_o very_a thing_n that_o now_o they_o may_v have_v a_o large_a scope_n for_o their_o lust_n then_o ever_o they_o can_v before_o alas_o a_o poor_a man_n can_v go_v abroad_o and_o drink_v as_o you_o can_v do_v a_o poor_a man_n can_v lay_v out_o so_o much_o upon_o a_o whore_n and_o a_o unclean_a wretch_n as_o you_o can_v do_v and_o you_o rejoice_v in_o this_o if_o this_o man_n have_v not_o his_o portion_n in_o this_o world_n who_o have_v the_o lord_n strike_v thy_o wretched_a heart_n a_o gracious_a man_n when_o god_n bless_v he_o in_o this_o world_n though_o there_o be_v but_o a_o little_a grace_n in_o he_o it_o will_v work_v thus_o the_o lord_n have_v raise_v my_o condition_n above_o my_o brother_n &_o why_o the_o lord_n give_v i_o a_o large_a opportunity_n to_o do_v he_o service_n than_o my_o brother_n have_v or_o then_o i_o have_v before_o there_o be_v such_o a_o poor_a man_n he_o be_v a_o honest_a man_n but_o god_n know_v he_o can_v do_v but_o little_a in_o the_o place_n where_o he_o be_v he_o have_v but_o little_a mean_n but_o god_n have_v give_v i_o mean_n and_o this_o mean_n enlarge_n my_o opportunity_n to_o do_v god_n service_n and_o for_o this_o my_o soul_n bless_v god_n i_o account_v my_o estate_n happy_a than_o before_o i_o now_o may_v be_v of_o more_o use_n and_o do_v god_n more_o service_n than_o otherwise_o i_o can_v do_v have_v you_o such_o work_n in_o heart_n you_o rich_a man_n if_o you_o have_v not_o never_o be_v at_o quiet_a till_o you_o get_v your_o heart_n work_v in_o this_o manner_n this_o will_v be_v a_o bless_a testimony_n that_o god_n give_v you_o a_o portion_n here_o and_o intend_v another_o portion_n for_o you_o in_o the_o world_n to_o come_v again_o what_o be_v that_o thing_n that_o you_o strive_v to_o make_v most_o sure_o that_o which_o a_o man_n strive_v to_o make_v most_o sure_a that_o he_o count_v his_o happiness_n to_o

so_o much_o come_v in_o and_o have_v so_o much_o a_o year_n but_o do_v thou_o call_v the_o vile_a man_n happy_a this_o be_v a_o sign_n that_o thou_o have_v not_o thy_o eye_n enlighten_v can_v thou_o look_v upon_o those_o that_o be_v poor_a and_o mean_a in_o this_o world_n as_o most_o happy_a creature_n because_o the_o lord_n give_v they_o the_o grace_n of_o his_o spirit_n and_o think_v well_o it_o be_v true_a i_o have_v a_o great_a estate_n than_o such_o a_o poor_a man_n that_o be_v my_o neighbour_n or_o then_o such_o a_o poor_a kinsman_n but_o god_n know_v he_o do_v god_n more_o service_n than_o i_o do_v he_o pray_v more_o and_o more_o hearty_o in_o one_o day_n than_o i_o do_v in_o a_o whole_a year_n o_o the_o lord_n have_v other_o manner_n of_o prayer_n and_o sigh_n come_v from_o his_o poor_a cottage_n than_o ever_o he_o have_v from_o my_o brave_a palace_n i_o have_v my_o city_n house_n and_o my_o country_n house_n but_o they_o be_v never_o so_o perfume_v with_o prayer_n some_o that_o live_v in_o poor_a cellar_n send_v up_o more_o prayer_n and_o god_n have_v more_o honour_n from_o they_o than_o he_o have_v from_o i_o in_o my_o family_n perhaps_o there_o be_v curse_v and_o blaspheme_v of_o god_n in_o such_o poor_a cottage_n there_o be_v perhaps_o blessing_n and_o praise_v of_o god_n now_o can_v thou_o look_v upon_o they_o as_o the_o most_o happy_a people_n in_o the_o world_n last_o what_o be_v thou_o most_o careful_a to_o lay_v up_o for_o thy_o child_n if_o the_o thing_n of_o the_o world_n take_v up_o thy_o care_n for_o thy_o child_n most_o it_o be_v a_o
