cruelty_n can_v torment_v he_o his_o nail_v hand_n and_o bore_v foot_n distil_v and_o drop_v blood_n nay_o his_o whole_a body_n in_o every_o particular_a part_n endure_v a_o several_a crucifixion_n yet_o then_o even_o then_o it_o be_v he_o show_v himself_o the_o high_a example_n of_o what_o he_o teach_v his_o disciple_n and_o in_o they_o we_o love_v our_o enemy_n cry_v with_o a_o loud_a and_o strong_a cry_n not_o for_o himself_o but_o for_o those_o who_o so_o inhumane_o butcher_v he_o father_n forgive_v they_o for_o they_o know_v not_o what_o they_o do_v i_o may_v now_o from_o example_n far_o press_v this_o duty_n as_o from_o other_o thing_n so_o from_o your_o interest_n from_o the_o eternal_a interest_n of_o your_o body_n and_o soul_n for_o as_o you_o forgive_v man_n their_o trespass_n so_o will_v your_o heavenly_a father_n forgive_v you_o you_o but_o i_o have_v be_v i_o fear_v too_o long_o upon_o this_o point_n i_o must_v hasten_v to_o another_o therefore_o second_o from_o joseph_n entertain_n his_o brethren_n who_o come_v into_o egypt_n to_o buy_v corn_n for_o themselves_o and_o their_o little_a one_o by_o reason_n of_o the_o great_a famine_n that_o then_o rage_v in_o canaan_n and_o other_o part_n adjacent_a to_o egypt_n let_v i_o propose_v another_o duty_n incumbent_a upon_o we_o especial_o at_o such_o solemn_a meeting_n viz._n that_o of_o charity_n towards_o the_o poor_a and_o this_o be_v so_o inseparable_a from_o a_o true_a christian_a feast_n that_o i_o never_o read_v of_o the_o one_o without_o the_o other_o i_o may_v press_v this_o duty_n have_v i_o time_n from_o several_a argument_n but_o i_o shall_v confine_v myself_o to_o what_o may_v natural_o be_v infer_v from_o the_o text_n conclude_v this_o particular_a by_o way_n of_o direction_n upon_o who_o chief_o you_o be_v to_o dispose_v your_o charity_n egypt_n by_o a_o easy_a allegory_n may_v be_v take_v for_o the_o world_n by_o the_o eleven_o brethren_n you_o may_v understand_v the_o poor_a and_o necessitous_a and_o by_o joseph_n be_v represent_v those_o who_o god_n have_v bless_v with_o riches_n to_o the_o end_n they_o may_v supply_v out_o of_o their_o store_n to_o they_o who_o labour_n under_o need_n and_o poverty_n joseph_n so_o well_o manage_v his_o province_n and_o so_o effectual_o provide_v against_o that_o rage_a famine_n that_o then_o be_v in_o the_o land_n that_o i_o read_v in_o several_a history_n that_o the_o egyptian_n suppose_v he_o to_o be_v more_o than_o man_n and_o therefore_o in_o after-age_n adore_v he_o as_o a_o god_n under_o the_o name_n of_o serapis_n i_o be_o sure_a all_o you_o who_o abound_v in_o riches_n have_v the_o same_o honourable_a employment_n entrust_v to_o you_o though_o your_o province_n be_v not_o so_o large_a but_o than_o you_o have_v your_o commission_n from_o a_o great_a king_n than_o pharaoh_n viz._n the_o king_n of_o king_n and_o lord_n of_o lord_n and_o if_o the_o poor_a shall_v want_v relief_n when_o you_o can_v assist_v they_o you_o will_v have_v this_o reproach_n upon_o you_o that_o whereas_o joseph_n supply_v the_o want_n of_o a_o great_a kingdom_n with_o the_o adjacent_a country_n in_o a_o extreme_a want_n of_o seven_o year_n you_o suffer_v a_o few_o indigent_a people_n to_o starve_v in_o a_o great_a plenty_n of_o all_o thing_n but_o i_o hope_v better_a thing_n of_o you_o especial_o have_v be_v a_o eye-witness_n how_o free_a and_o liberal_a you_o have_v be_v at_o our_o last_o annual_a meeting_n and_o here_o if_o i_o may_v guide_v your_o hand_n in_o your_o more_o liberal_a distribution_n i_o will_v propose_v those_o loyal_a person_n as_o large_a object_n of_o your_o kindness_n who_o either_o suffer_v in_o the_o service_n of_o the_o late_a royal_a martyr_n or_o of_o late_a in_o their_o faithful_a adherence_n to_o our_o present_a sovereign_n when_o the_o tragedy_n of_o forty-one_a be_v if_o possible_a in_o more_o dismal_a circumstance_n design_v to_o be_v reacted_n by_o some_o of_o the_o same_o man_n but_o all_o of_o the_o same_o principle_n with_o the_o former_a and_o i_o be_o sure_a my_o text_n will_v justify_v my_o advice_n wherein_o though_o joseph_n entertain_v all_o his_o brethren_n at_o a_o feast_n yet_o benjamin_n be_v mess_n be_v five_o time_n so_o much_o as_o any_o of_o they_o three_o and_o last_o do_v joseph_n a_o pious_a chaste_a and_o religious_a man_n yet_o entertain_v his_o brethren_n after_o that_o manner_n as_o you_o have_v hear_v and_o be_v his_o practice_n follow_v by_o the_o jew_n under_o the_o law_n by_o our_o bless_a saviour_n and_o the_o primitive_a christian_n why_o then_o let_v we_o not_o regard_v the_o unjust_a censure_n of_o unreasonable_a man_n as_o to_o our_o present_a assembly_n those_o writer_n do_v but_o dream_n who_o fancy_v the_o fruit_n of_o the_o forbid_a tree_n to_o be_v that_o of_o the_o vine_n no_o no_o god_n never_o make_v the_o vine_n only_o to_o tempt_v mankind_n and_o that_o he_o shall_v not_o taste_v thereof_o the_o impostor_n mahomet_n indeed_o deny_v it_o to_o his_o worshipper_n but_o god_n himself_o be_v please_v to_o accept_v of_o it_o in_o sacrifice_n and_o the_o bless_a jesus_n put_v himself_o to_o the_o expense_n of_o a_o miracle_n that_o man_n may_v know_v his_o sense_n thereof_o but_o here_o let_v i_o beg_v of_o you_o not_o to_o misconstrue_v what_o i_o have_v say_v and_o do_v not_o think_v that_o whilst_o i_o plead_v for_o the_o innocent_a mirth_n of_o christian_n that_o you_o may_v behave_v yourselves_o as_o if_o you_o be_v at_o the_o roman_a bacchanal_n or_o which_o be_v very_o like_a their_o carnivals_n now_o i_o shall_v sum_v up_o all_o in_o a_o word_n or_o two_o by_o way_n of_o exhortation_n do_v not_o o_o do_v not_o abuse_v god_n goodness_n and_o that_o which_o he_o have_v indulge_v to_o we_o to_o cheer_v and_o refresh_v we_o let_v we_o not_o make_v use_n of_o it_o to_o the_o dishonour_v his_o image_n in_o we_o to_o the_o unman_v ourselves_o and_o put_v on_o the_o shape_n of_o beast_n as_o too_o too_o many_o do_v i_o shall_v give_v you_o but_o one_o direction_n herein_o be_v sure_o none_o of_o you_o touch_v that_o glass_n whereby_o you_o may_v be_v render_v less_o fit_v for_o god_n service_n as_o for_o drunkenness_n and_o debauchery_n let_v it_o not_o be_v so_o much_o as_o mention_v as_o become_v such_o christian_a meeting_n when_o you_o be_v at_o dinner_n remember_v that_o as_o the_o jew_n after_o their_o sacrifice_n so_o you_o just_o before_o be_v worship_v god_n at_o his_o holy_a temple_n let_v your_o carriage_n at_o the_o follow_a entertainment_n baffle_v the_o idle_a clamour_n of_o those_o who_o oppose_v such_o meeting_n of_o love_n show_v to_o they_o that_o you_o can_v be_v sober_a as_o well_o as_o cheerful_a and_o that_o you_o can_v be_v man_n without_o lay_v aside_o the_o christian_n let_v this_o meeting_n be_v like_o that_o of_o the_o primitive_a christian_n of_o who_o pliny_n write_v to_o the_o emperor_n trajan_n a_o engagement_n to_o virtue_n and_o a_o abhorrence_n from_o sin_n and_o iniquity_n be_v constant_a in_o your_o allegiance_n to_o our_o english_a joseph_n continue_v true_a member_n of_o our_o establish_a church_n which_o best_a of_o all_o other_o teach_v how_o to_o render_v to_o god_n the_o thing_n which_o be_v god_n and_o to_o caesar_n the_o thing_n which_o be_v caesar_n let_v we_o follow_v st._n paul_n advice_n and_o do_v good_a to_o all_o man_n especial_o to_o those_o of_o the_o household_n of_o faith_n nay_o let_v our_o charity_n be_v more_o extensive_a and_o let_v we_o embrace_v even_o the_o dissenter_n themselves_o though_o not_o by_o prostitute_v the_o church_n order_n to_o their_o peevishness_n and_o wantonness_n but_o by_o pray_v for_o they_o that_o they_o may_v return_v to_o their_o duty_n to_o our_o common_a mother_n the_o establish_v church_n of_o england_n that_o so_o at_o length_n we_o may_v all_o be_v love_a brethren_n and_o with_o one_o unanimous_a
