there_o be_v two_o apparent_a cause_n of_o this_o 1._o that_o the_o thought_n of_o judgement_n be_v very_o uneasy_a and_o troublesome_a and_o that_o make_v man_n afraid_a and_o averse_a to_o think_v of_o it_o and_o 2._o that_o judgement_n be_v out_o of_o sight_n and_o they_o have_v nothing_o to_o mind_v they_o of_o it_o and_o their_o thought_n be_v so_o take_v up_o with_o other_o matter_n that_o

business_n they_o quick_o forget_v again_o 1_o sy_n man_n be_v very_o apt_a to_o avoid_v all_o thought_n of_o judgement_n because_o they_o be_v very_o uneasy_a and_o troublesome_a they_o startle_v at_o the_o mention_n of_o it_o at_o least_o do_v not_o love_v to_o talk_v too_o long_o nor_o think_v too_o serious_o of_o it_o for_o it_o awaken_v their_o conscience_n and_o make_v they_o think_v what_o a_o sad_a account_n they_o have_v to_o give_v how_o many_o thing_n they_o have_v do_v and_o daily_o do_v which_o they_o can_v never_o answer_v to_o god_n when_o he_o come_v to_o judgement_n and_o therefore_o they_o choose_v to_o live_v quiet_o without_o disturb_v themselves_o with_o such_o terrify_a reflection_n and_o the_o amaze_a thought_n of_o what_o be_v to_o come_v now_o methinks_v it_o be_v no_o hard_a thing_n to_o convince_v think_v man_n of_o the_o danger_n and_o folly_n of_o this_o and_o to_o reconcile_v they_o to_o the_o thought_n of_o judgement_n for_o 1._o to_o drive_v these_o thought_n out_o of_o our_o mind_n though_o it_o may_v give_v we_o present_a ease_n yet_o it_o will_v not_o mend_v our_o account_n nor_o prevent_v our_o be_v judge_v god_n will_v judge_v we_o whether_o we_o will_v think_v of_o be_v judge_v or_o not_o be_v no_o man_n to_o be_v judge_v but_o those_o who_o think_v of_o it_o there_o be_v as_o much_o reason_n to_o stupefy_v our_o conscience_n and_o never_o to_o think_v of_o judgement_n as_o there_o be_v for_o sick_a man_n to_o take_v
upon_o all_o age_n of_o the_o world_n especial_o since_o that_o express_a revelation_n which_o the_o gospel_n have_v make_v of_o it_o this_o instruction_n our_o saviour_n himself_o give_v we_o that_o since_o we_o know_v not_o the_o day_n of_o judgement_n we_o shall_v always_o watch_v and_o be_v ready_a prepare_v for_o it_o watch_z therefore_o for_o you_o know_v not_o what_o hour_n your_o lord_n

we_o consider_v that_o this_o be_v no_o more_o than_o be_v foretell_v thus_o it_o must_v be_v towards_o the_o end_n of_o the_o world_n and_o therefore_o this_o ought_v not_o to_o weaken_v the_o

saviour_n make_v between_o charity_n and_o all_o other_o grace_n that_o it_o concern_v we_o to_o take_v notice_n of_o it_o and_o to_o inquire_v what_o the_o meaning_n of_o it_o be_v 1._o now_o in_o the_o first_o place_n there_o be_v no_o doubt_n but_o our_o saviour_n intention_n in_o this_o be_v very_o powerful_o to_o recommend_v all_o act_n of_o charity_n to_o we_o since_o heaven_n be_v the_o peculiar_a reward_n of_o charity_n and_o to_o make_v we_o as_o much_o afraid_a of_o all_o uncharitableness_n as_o we_o be_v of_o any_o other_o the_o most_o enormous_a and_o flagitious_a crime_n since_o uncharitableness_n will_v damn_v we_o though_o we_o be_v guilty_a if_o that_o be_v possible_a of_o no_o other_o sin_n and_o there_o be_v great_a reason_n to_o enforce_v this_o duty_n on_o we_o because_o few_o man_n have_v so_o great_a a_o sense_n of_o the_o necessity_n and_o obligation_n of_o charity_n as_o they_o have_v of_o moral_a honesty_n and_o justice_n all_o mankind_n have_v a_o natural_a sense_n of_o the_o great_a evil_n of_o rapine_n and_o injustice_n and_o murder_n to_o defraud_v man_n of_o their_o estate_n or_o to_o take_v they_o by_o force_n and_o violence_n to_o oppress_v the_o poor_a the_o fatherless_a and_o the_o widow_n or_o to_o murder_v the_o innocent_a their_o conscience_n terrify_v and_o scare_v they_o with_o such_o guilt_n but_o they_o have_v but_o little_a sense_n of_o the_o obligation_n to_o charity_n and_o of_o the_o great_a sin_n and_o danger_n of_o uncharitableness_n they_o can_v see_v man_n hungry_a and_o thirsty_a and_o naked_a and_o sick_a and_o in_o prison_n without_o minister_a to_o they_o and_o though_o they_o will_v acknowledge_v such_o act_n of_o charity_n to_o be_v very_o good_a and_o commendable_a yet_o charge_v themselves_o with_o no_o guilt_n for_o neglect_v they_o but_o if_o none_o shall_v be_v save_v at_o the_o last_o day_n but_o the_o kind_n and_o the_o charitable_a if_o we_o shall_v be_v condemn_v at_o the_o last_o day_n to_o that_o everlasting_a fire_n prepare_v for_o the_o devil_n and_o his_o angel_n for_o do_v no_o good_a though_o we_o shall_v do_v no_o other_o evil_n as_o we_o certain_o shall_v if_o our_o saviour_n give_v we_o a_o true_a account_n of_o the_o process_n of_o the_o last_o judgement_n this_o if_o any_o thing_n will_v make_v man_n sensible_a how_o necessary_a it_o be_v to_o do_v all_o the_o good_a they_o can_v as_o necessary_a as_o it_o be_v to_o go_v to_o heaven_n that_o they_o may_v as_o safe_o with_o respect_n to_o another_o world_n rob_v and_o steal_v and_o cheat_v and_o oppress_v as_o not_o relieve_v the_o want_n of_o the_o poor_a as_o far_o as_o christian_a prudence_n and_o charity_n direct_v for_o they_o shall_v be_v damn_v for_o this_o as_o well_o as_o for_o the_o great_a injustice_n 2_o dly_z our_o saviour_n hereby_o signify_v that_o this_o divine_a charity_n be_v the_o perfection_n of_o all_o other_o christian_a grace_n and_o virtue_n and_o comprehend_v they_o all_o for_o it_o be_v certain_a that_o no_o man_n shall_v be_v save_v without_o a_o universal_a righteousness_n and_o yet_o our_o saviour_n inquire_v only_o after_o charity_n as_o the_o only_a mark_n and_o criterion_n of_o a_o universal_a righteousness_n for_o where_o that_o be_v in_o sincerity_n there_o be_v a_o combination_n of_o all_o other_o grace_n our_o saviour_n tell_v we_o that_o the_o love_n of_o god_n and_o man_n be_v the_o sum_n of_o the_o whole_a law_n and_o the_o prophet_n 22_o mat._n 36_o 37_o 38_o 39_o 40._o and_o st._n paul_n tell_v we_o he_o that_o love_v another_o have_v fulfil_v the_o law_n love_n work_v no_o ill_a to_o his_o neighbour_n therefore_o love_n be_v the_o fulfil_n of_o the_o law_n 13_o rom._n 8_o 9_o 10._o he_o that_o love_v his_o neighbour_n will_v do_v he_o no_o hurt_n but_o will_v do_v he_o all_o the_o good_a he_o can_v and_o this_o divine_a love_n of_o man_n result_v from_o the_o love_n of_o god_n who_o creature_n they_o be_v and_o who_o image_n they_o bear_v and_o therefore_o include_v the_o love_n of_o god_n as_o its_o cause_n for_o there_o be_v no_o other_o principle_n of_o universal_a love_n and_o charity_n though_o of_o particular_a friendship_n there_o be_v and_o therefore_o st._n john_n make_v this_o the_o trial_n of_o our_o love_n to_o god_n if_o a_o man_n say_v i_o love_v god_n and_o hate_v his_o brother_n he_o be_v a_o liar_n for_o he_o that_o love_v not_o his_o brother_n who_o he_o have_v see_v how_o can_v he_o love_v god_n who_o he_o have_v not_o see_v and_o this_o commandment_n have_v we_o from_o he_o that_o he_o who_o love_v god_n love_v his_o brother_n also_o 1_o john_n 4.20_o 21._o thus_o much_o be_v certain_a from_o this_o text_n that_o no_o man_n love_v god_n who_o do_v not_o love_v his_o brother_n and_o i_o believe_v there_o never_o be_v a_o instance_n of_o true_a universal_a charity_n without_o the_o love_n of_o god_n but_o not_o to_o make_v a_o dispute_n of_o that_o since_o humanity_n and_o greatness_n and_o generosity_n of_o mind_n will_v in_o some_o man_n very_o near_o resemble_v and_o counterseit_v a_o universal_a charity_n the_o charity_n our_o saviour_n speak_v of_o be_v this_o divine_a charity_n which_o flow_v from_o the_o love_n of_o god_n and_o christ_n when_o we_o love_v man_n for_o god_n sake_n and_o christian_n as_o the_o member_n and_o the_o brethren_n of_o christ_n and_o therefore_o he_o account_v all_o the_o kindness_n show_v to_o they_o for_o his_o sake_n as_o do_v to_o himself_o inasmuch_o as_o you_o have_v do_v it_o to_o one_o of_o the_o

he_o 1_o john_n 4.7_o 8_o 9_o 10_o 11_o 12._o but_o on_o the_o other_o hand_n a_o uncharitable_a man_n can_v have_v no_o good_a in_o he_o and_o he_o have_v the_o seed_n and_o principle_n of_o all_o
