all of us may be found in Love and Charity and in doing of Good Works that we may be placed amongst that little Flock which standeth at Christs right hand at the last day and hear that blessed Sentence which is spoken in the Gospel of S. Matthew Chap. 25. Verses 32 33 34. and so on Before him shall be gathered all Nations and he shall separate them one from another as a Shepherd separateth his Sheep from the Goats and he shall set the Sheep on his right hand and the Goats on his left Then shall the King say to them on his right hand Come ye blessed of my Father inherit ye the Kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the World for I was hungry and you gave me meat thirsty and you gave me drink I was a Stranger and ye took me in naked and ye clothed me sick and ye visited me in prison and ye came unto me Then shall the righteous answer him saying when saw we thee hungry and fed thee naked and clothed thee thirsty and gave thee drink when saw we thee a Stranger and took thee in or when saw we thee sick and in Prison and came unto thee And the King shall answer them inasmuch as ye have done it to one of the least of these my Brethren ye have done it unto me You hear my Beloved Brethren from our Saviour Jesus Christs own words that Charity which is the cause of Good Works is the chief cause why our Saviour pronounceth us blessed and of our inheriting of the Kingdom of Heaven Charity is the cause of blessings in this World and of our happiness in the world to come Then shall he say also to them on his left hand Depart ye cursed into everlasting fire prepared for the Devil and his Angels for I was hungry and ye gave me no meat thirsty and ye gave me no drink I was a Stranger and ye took me not in naked and ye clothed me not sick and in Prison and ye visited me not Then shall they answer him saying Lord when saw we thee an hungred and thirsty or naked or sick or in prison and did not minister unto thee Then shall he answer them saying Verily verily I say unto you in as much as ye did it not unto one of the least of these ye did it not to me And these shall go into everlasting punishment but the righteous into life eternal O my beloved you may see that the want of Good Works is the cause of that sad Sentence pronounced against the wicked if they had done Good Works they might have obtained the Joys of Heaven and there to have lived with the Saints and Angels for evermore and for want of Good Works they are sentenced into Hell there to remain in torments for evermore world without end O my beloved Brethren seeing that Faith Hope and Charity are all linked together and that Love and Charity are the perfection of our Faith without which Faith is dead the Lord grant that every one of us may unite together in love as well Dissenters as others who went out from us the Lord grant they may come in to us again and that we may unite together in love and serve God together in love without which we shall never come into the Kingdom of Heaven that the Lord may send his blessings amongst us and delight to do us good that our light may shine like Stars in the Firmament for this Church Militant is to fit us for the Church Triumphant where there is no division nor dissention but all are of one heart and of one mind The Lord grant that every one of us be found in Love and Good Works that we may all meet in the Heavenly Jerusalem together there with the Angels and Arch-Angels and all the Heavenly Host to sing Hallelujahs and Gloria Pater to God the Father Son and Holy Ghost who hath made us redeemed us sanctified us and justified us to whom be attributed all Might Majesty and Dominion both now and evermore Amen A word of Use and Application to our selves and of the Benefits we shall receive by this great Grace of Charity And first It will cover a multitude of sins as saith S. James Chap. 2. Ver. 17. Secondly It makes our Faith perfect without which it is dead The Lord grant that every one of us may understand his Faith so well that he may not deceive himself for without Good Works Faith is dead Charity is the Band that ties all our Graces together without which they are all as nothing Thirdly Charity makes God to dwell in us and we in him it makes us to be at peace with all men it overcomes the malice of wicked men and makes them to be our Friends Charity with the Good Works which spring from it is the cause why Christ calls us Blessed of his Father in that glorious Sentence at the last day It is one of the chief causes that we inherit the Kingdom of Heaven which was prepared for us from the Foundation of the World Christ tells us that he was hungry and we fed him thirsty and we gave him Drink naked and we clothed him and so on as you may read in the 25th Chapter of S. Matthews Gospel from the 34th Verse to the end of the Chapter Again the want of Charity and Good Works was the cause why Christ pronounced that cursed Sentence to those wicked men on his left hand Go ye cursed into everlasting fire prepared for the Devil and his Angels for I was hungry and ye fed me not thirsty and ye gave me no drink naked and ye clothed me not sick and prison and ye visited me not And they shall ask him when saw we thee in this condition And he shall answer them In as much as ye have not done it to one of the least of these ye have not done it unto me And these shall go into everlasting punishment but the righteous into life eternal Now I beseech you Brethren to take good notice and to lay it to heart that the want of Good Works was the chief cause that the Wicked went into everlasting Punishment And I beseech you Brethren in the Name of our Lord Jesus Christ that every one of us both Ministers and People strive to be found in such a measure of Good Works as that we may be accepted of by Christ that so we may obtain life eternal The Lord grant that every one of us may follow Charity in all our lives and Conversations it being the whole perfection of our Salvation without which we shall never go to Heaven although we have heard a thousand Sermons and practised the Doctrines of them all yet if this Doctrine of Charity be wanting all profiteth nothing Now all good Christian People I beseech you in the Lord as well Dissenters as others to come in to the unity of the Episcopal Church of England from which you went out and there to serve God in Unity Love and Charity for this Church Militant is to fit us for the Church Triumphant where there is no division nor dissention and there to sing Hallelujah with the Heavenly Host for evermore Which the Lord of his Mercy grant for Jesus Christs sake our blessed Redeemer Amen FINIS
