and_o that_o we_o be_v to_o understand_v this_o not_o only_o with_o relation_n to_o the_o kind_n but_o to_o the_o measure_n and_o the_o proportion_n too_o 6._o himself_o show_v we_o 2_o cor._n ix_o

give_v not_o grudge_o or_o of_o necessity_n for_o god_n love_v a_o cheerful_a giver_n and_o from_o both_o which_o it_o be_v obvious_a to_o conclude_v that_o though_o s._n paul_n will_v not_o

that_o they_o be_v apt_a to_o think_v every_o little_a pittance_n that_o they_o bestow_v on_o act_n of_o mercy_n to_o the_o poor_a to_o be_v abundant_o sufficient_a to_o entitle_v they_o not_o only_o to_o a_o acceptance_n but_o to_o a_o reward_n also_o though_o i_o shall_v not_o presume_v to_o set_v any_o bound_n where_o the_o gospel_n have_v not_o by_o determine_v what_o man_n ought_v to_o lay_v aside_o for_o this_o duty_n yet_o thus_o far_o i_o will_v adventure_v to_o correct_v their_o mistake_v as_o to_o show_v what_o that_o proportion_n be_v below_o which_o i_o suppose_v man_n ought_v not_o without_o some_o extraordinary_a occasion_n to_o fall_v or_o if_o they_o do_v may_v have_v just_a cause_n to_o fear_v that_o they_o shall_v be_v look_v upon_o by_o god_n as_o vnmerciful_a and_o uncharitable_a now_o in_o order_n hereunto_o i_o shall_v in_o the_o first_o place_n take_v it_o for_o grant_v that_o every_o man_n ought_v to_o be_v the_o more_o liberal_a in_o his_o charity_n to_o other_o the_o more_o free_a and_o bountiful_a the_o providence_n of_o god_n have_v be_v in_o its_o distribution_n to_o he_o that_o be_v to_o say_v that_o our_o charity_n must_v bear_v a_o proportion_n to_o our_o ability_n and_o that_o to_o whosoever_o much_o be_v give_v of_o he_o in_o this_o sense_n also_o much_o shall_v be_v require_v this_o be_v what_o st._n paul_n seem_v to_o have_v lay_v down_o as_o the_o stand_a rule_n for_o the_o corinthian_n to_o proceed_v by_o 1_o epist._n xvi_o 2._o that_o every_o one_o of_o they_o shall_v lay_v aside_o according_a as_o god_n have_v prosper_v or_o bless_v he_o which_o be_v the_o very_a measure_n that_o we_o before_o see_v moses_n give_v to_o the_o jew_n heretofore_o deut._n xvi_o 17._o every_o man_n shall_v give_v according_a to_o the_o blessing_n of_o the_o lord_n thy_o god_n which_o he_o have_v give_v thou_o and_o the_o same_o apostle_n in_o his_o one_a epist._n to_o timothy_n vi_o 18._o bid_v timothy_n charge_v they_o that_o be_v rich_a in_o this_o world_n not_o only_o that_o they_o shall_v be_v ready_a to_o give_v and_o glad_a to_o distribute_v but_o that_o they_o shall_v be_v rich_a in_o good_a work_n i.e._n shall_v exceed_v other_o as_o much_o in_o their_o charity_n as_o they_o do_v in_o their_o estate_n and_o from_o all_o which_o it_o be_v very_o plain_a that_o if_o those_o to_o who_o god_n have_v give_v a_o large_a ability_n than_o other_o who_o riches_n be_v great_a or_o who_o occasion_n less_o who_o have_v neither_o so_o many_o to_o maintain_v now_o nor_o to_o provide_v for_o hereafter_o do_v not_o in_o some_o proportion_n go_v beyond_o they_o in_o work_n of_o mercy_n and_o beneficence_n they_o may_v just_o be_v look_v upon_o to_o come_v short_a of_o that_o charity_n god_n expect_v from_o they_o though_o otherwise_o they_o shall_v chance_v to_o give_v in_o a_o low_a and_o more_o scanty_a degree_n but_o second_o and_o to_o come_v more_o close_o to_o the_o point_n propose_v it_o can_v reasonable_o be_v doubt_v but_o that_o as_o our_o saviour_n himself_o tell_v we_o that_o he_o come_v not_o to_o destroy_v the_o law_n 17._o but_o to_o fulfil_v it_o so_o except_o our_o righteousness_n shall_v exceed_v

that_o no_o christian_n ought_v to_o give_v less_o now_o than_o what_o the_o jew_n heretofore_o be_v ordinary_o oblige_v to_o do_v now_o the_o proportion_n of_o the_o law_n be_v this_o 12._o that_o
