saviour_n lay_v not_o up_o for_o yourselves_o treasure_n upon_o earth_n where_o moth_n and_o rust_n do_v corrupt_a and_o where_o thief_n break_v through_o and_o steal_v but_o lay_v up_o for_o yourselves_o treasure_n in_o heaven_n where_o neither_o moth_n etc._n etc._n and_o be_v not_o afraid_a of_o they_o that_o kill_v the_o body_n and_o after_o that_o have_v no_o more_o that_o they_o can_v do_v but_o i_o will_v forewarn_v you_o who_o you_o shall_v fear_v fear_v he_o which_o after_o he_o have_v kill_v have_v power_n to_o cast_v into_o hell_n yea_o i_o say_v unto_o you_o fear_v he_o and_o that_o in_o this_o chapter_n labour_v not_o for_o the_o meat_n which_o perish_v bat_n for_o that_o which_o endure_v to_o everlasting_a life_n which_o the_o son_n of_o man_n shall_v give_v unto_o you_o which_o rule_v seem_v at_o first_o sight_n to_o discharge_v we_o of_o all_o care_n for_o our_o life_n and_o welfare_n in_o this_o world_n st._n chrysostom_n think_v it_o needful_a to_o observe_v upon_o the_o last_o of_o they_o that_o our_o lord_n do_v not_o intend_v to_o countenance_v laziness_n who_o himself_o say_v it_o be_v more_o bless_a to_o give_v than_o to_o receive_v and_o that_o st._n paul_n admonish_v a_o man_n to_o work_v with_o his_o hand_n the_o thing_n that_o be_v good_a that_o he_o may_v have_v to_o give_v to_o he_o that_o need_v but_o since_o these_o exhortation_n run_v as_o if_o we_o be_v to_o be_v absolute_o unconcern_v about_o this_o life_n no_o question_n but_o that_o care_n of_o eternal_a life_n be_v prescribe_v in_o comparison_n to_o which_o our_o care_n for_o this_o world_n shall_v seem_v nothing_o at_o all_o therefore_o when_o we_o desire_v our_o appoint_a food_n we_o shall_v think_v how_o much_o more_o it_o be_v our_o interest_n to_o hunger_n and_o thirst_n after_o righteousness_n and_o that_o meat_n which_o endure_v to_o everlasting_a life_n and_o when_o we_o most_o of_o all_o feel_v the_o hope_n and_o fear_n of_o thing_n that_o go_v no_o far_o than_o this_o world_n we_o can_v entertain_v a_o better_a thought_n than_o this_o that_o if_o we_o be_v so_o much_o concern_v for_o this_o life_n how_o careful_a ought_v we_o to_o be_v not_o to_o miss_v of_o eternal_a salvation_n which_o kind_n of_o reflection_n be_v the_o more_o necessary_a for_o we_o the_o more_o deep_o we_o be_v engage_v in_o this_o world_n for_o we_o do_v not_o only_a labour_n for_o the_o meat_n that_o perish_v that_o be_v for_o just_a enough_o to_o serve_v the_o necessity_n of_o life_n but_o we_o will_v be_v at_o ease_n beside_o and_o live_v in_o reasonable_a plenty_n and_o enjoy_v what_o be_v convenient_a for_o the_o pleasure_n as_o well_o as_o the_o sustenance_n of_o life_n and_o there_o be_v very_o few_o that_o know_v when_o to_o make_v a_o end_n of_o multiply_a riches_n when_o once_o they_o be_v get_v into_o the_o way_n of_o increase_n but_o be_v we_o thus_o concern_v for_o a_o end_n of_o infinite_o great_a moment_n or_o rather_o do_v not_o these_o very_a worldly_a care_n reprove_v our_o negligence_n about_o better_a and_o great_a thing_n while_o perhaps_o we_o do_v no_o more_o towards_o our_o salvation_n than_o to_o avoid_v the_o gross_a sin_n of_o all_o but_o take_v little_a thought_n how_o to_o grow_v in_o grace_n and_o in_o the_o knowledge_n of_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ._n the_o whole_a strain_n of_o our_o saviour_n discourse_n in_o this_o chapter_n natural_o lead_v to_o such_o consideration_n as_o these_o and_o if_o we_o mind_v they_o in_o good_a earnest_n they_o will_v by_o the_o grace_n of_o god_n moderate_a our_o affection_n and_o care_n about_o this_o world_n in_o the_o first_o place_n and_o then_o leave_v all_o that_o concern_v for_o present_a and_o transitory_a good_a thing_n which_o we_o can_v be_v without_o as_o a_o perpetual_a admonition_n to_o be_v much_o more_o thoughtful_a for_o our_o everlasting_a salvation_n and_o to_o make_v it_o the_o great_a business_n of_o our_o life_n by_o prayer_n

of_o charity_n concern_v which_o the_o text_n express_o affirm_v that_o they_o be_v all_o man_n in_o general_a but_o especial_o the_o household_n of_o faith_n and_o three_o of_o the_o reward_n of_o

undertake_v to_o enlarge_v upon_o these_o three_o particular_n and_o therefore_o omit_v the_o first_o i_o choose_v to_o insist_v upon_o the_o second_o and_o to_o conclude_v with_o some_o few_o reflection_n upon_o the_o last_o and_o thus_o the_o first_o thing_n to_o be_v consider_v be_v the_o exhortation_n to_o do_v good_a with_o respect_n to_o the_o general_a object_n let_v we_o do_v good_a unto_o all_o men._n now_o because_o it_o be_v impossible_a that_o we_o shall_v be_v actual_o beneficent_a to_o every_o man_n in_o the_o world_n otherwise_o than_o by_o our_o prayer_n for_o all_o therefore_o the_o plain_a meaning_n of_o the_o exhortation_n be_v this_o that_o we_o shall_v exclude_v no_o man_n out_o of_o our_o charity_n who_o need_v our_o help_n and_o come_v within_o the_o compass_n of_o our_o ability_n to_o do_v he_o good_a which_o though_o it_o be_v a_o duty_n so_o much_o for_o the_o interest_n of_o mankind_n that_o one_o will_v think_v no_o body_n shall_v be_v against_o it_o yet_o as_o the_o world_n go_v it_o seem_v to_o need_v the_o charity_n of_o we_o all_o in_o stand_v up_o for_o it_o against_o all_o false_a principle_n and_o bad_a example_n that_o be_v
