am sorry for making such an Observation upon the whole as will not only make it very commendable but a necessary Work and to speak Christianly a Duty to such whom God hath prospered in such a plentiful manner as they may be capable of it And this is so much the more capable of enforcement that in all the Expence is much beyond the standing Revenue and in some near if not above a Moiety beyond it And what can be the issue of this but augmenting their Debt or that others by their Benefactions should prevent it What remains therefore but that those that are not under those necessities should consider the case of those that are Let those who have had Parents to provide for them or who have been by the Wonderful Providence of God notwithstanding their want of it rais'd in the World to plentiful Estates shew their thankfulness to God by a care of those that are Orphans and Comfortless Let such as have their Health and Limbs and so can enjoy the Estate God has blessed them with consider those that want Health and Riches nay the Necessities of Life to support them under those Infirmities Let those that have the use of their Senses and that have not had occasion to burthen or lay too heavy a load upon their Minds or if they have yet have not been pressed beyond measure remember what a Blessing they enjoy by the use of that Reason which others do want and are deprived of Let those that have not by necessities or other occasions been exposed to the Temptations of Vagrancy and Dissolute Courses have some compassion for those that have and contribute toward the pulling of such out of the Fire Indeed if every one did but make the case of others their own every one that can would be more or less a Benefactor to such Foundations as these are And this Argument would be improv'd if we consider'd That all we have is of meer Gift and we are but Stewards and Dispensers of it it being for a time deposited in our hands for several Excellent Ends and Uses and that we are all accountable another Day to God the Supreme Lord and Donor and indeed Proprietor of all And thus our Saviour represents it Matt. 25. 31 c. When the Son of man shall come in his glory and all the Holy Angels with him then shall he sit upon the Throne of his Glory and before him shall be gathered all Nations Then shall the King say unto them on his right hand Come ye blessed of my Father inherit the Kingdom prepared for you from the Foundation of the World For I was an hungred and ye gave me meat I was thirsty and ye gave me drink I was a stranger and ye took me in naked and ye cloathed me I was sick and ye visited me I was in prison and ye came unto me He concludes Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren ye have done it unto me What greater encouragement than to have our Saviour himself a Debtor to us when we are all so to Almighty God! What greater than to have an Eternal Reward for dispensing of that to others which we our selves receive What greater than to be assured that the Son of Man Himself when he shall come in his Glory will be ready to receive us and that He will then say to us Come ye blessed of my Father inherit the Kingdom prepared for you I shall Conclude with that of the Apostle who sums up all as to our Duty and Encouragement Charge them that are rich in this world that they be not high-minded nor trust in uncertain riches but in the Living God who giveth us richly all things to Enjoy That they do Good that they be rich in good Works ready to Distribute willing to Communicate Laying up in store for themselves a good foundation against the time to come that they may lay hold on Eternal Life Which God of his Infinite Mercy grant unto us through Jesus Christ our Lord.
