necessary_a affair_n of_o their_o life_n permit_v they_o to_o have_v so_o distinct_a and_o through_o a_o knowledge_n of_o the_o mystery_n of_o the_o gospel_n of_o the_o love_n of_o god_n and_o the_o merit_n and_o satisfaction_n of_o our_o redeemer_n of_o the_o terror_n of_o the_o final_a judgement_n and_o what_o the_o glory_n or_o misery_n of_o another_o world_n import_n and_o what_o mighty_a obligation_n all_o these_o thing_n lay_v upon_o we_o to_o live_v well_o and_o to_o depart_v from_o all_o iniquity_n and_o yet_o even_o among_o these_o we_o may_v find_v many_o who_o be_v zealous_a for_o god_n service_n beyond_o what_o one_o can_v almost_o have_v expect_v from_o they_o that_o improve_v every_o opportunity_n suffer_v no_o occasion_n to_o slip_v they_o that_o they_o can_v possible_o steal_v from_o their_o present_a employment_n to_o increase_v their_o knowledge_n and_o to_o exercise_v their_o piety_n how_o much_o more_o ought_v those_o to_o who_o god_n have_v give_v so_o many_o more_o and_o better_a opportunity_n to_o do_v this_o who_o soul_n be_v more_o raise_v who_o understanding_n more_o enlarge_v who_o know_v the_o mystery_n of_o christ_n kingdom_n what_o promise_v god_n have_v make_v to_o assist_v our_o piety_n and_o what_o blessing_n he_o have_v prepare_v for_o ever_o to_o reward_v it_o to_o be_v in_o a_o extraordinary_a manner_n careful_a of_o themselves_o and_o not_o suffer_v these_o poor_a soul_n to_o rise_v up_o in_o the_o judgement_n against_o they_o and_o condemn_v they_o for_o that_o be_v so_o much_o better_o fit_v to_o discharge_v their_o duty_n and_o have_v so_o much_o more_o liberty_n to_o do_v it_o than_o they_o they_o have_v nevertheless_o so_o gross_o neglect_v their_o soul_n and_o take_v no_o care_n to_o exceed_v or_o it_o may_v be_v even_o to_o equal_v they_o in_o well-doing_n but_o three_o such_o person_n as_o these_o have_v not_o only_o more_o time_n and_o a_o better_a capacity_n than_o those_o of_o a_o low_a degree_n but_o what_o be_v yet_o more_o they_o have_v in_o many_o respect_n a_o great_a ability_n too_o of_o do_v good_a and_o of_o promote_a the_o interest_n of_o piety_n and_o religion_n and_o that_o especial_o upon_o these_o three_o account_n one_a of_o their_o riches_n two_o of_o their_o authority_n and_o in_o the_o consequence_n of_o both_o these_o three_o of_o their_o very_a example_n one_a if_o we_o consider_v they_o as_o person_n of_o large_a fortune_n and_o more_o plentiful_a estate_n than_o other_o man_n how_o many_o advantage_n will_v this_o one_o thing_n minister_v unto_o they_o for_o the_o better_a advance_v the_o service_n of_o god_n and_o the_o interest_n of_o christianity_n what_o influence_n will_v this_o give_v they_o not_o only_o over_o their_o own_o house_n but_o over_o multitude_n abroad_o who_o some_o way_n or_o other_o depend_v upon_o they_o and_o need_v only_o their_o encouragement_n to_o become_v religious_a to_o pass_v by_o all_o other_o benefit_n and_o offer_v but_o one_o instance_n instead_o of_o many_o it_o can_v be_v doubt_v but_o that_o the_o more_o it_o have_v please_v god_n to_o dispense_v to_o any_o one_o of_o these_o thing_n the_o more_o he_o not_o only_o be_v able_a but_o aught_o in_o duty_n to_o lay_v out_o in_o the_o exercise_n of_o that_o most_o excellent_a virtue_n of_o charity_n and_o beneficence_n and_o than_o which_o i_o know_v not_o whether_o there_o be_v any_o more_o acceptable_a to_o god_n or_o more_o advantageous_a to_o our_o eternal_a salvation_n and_o though_o there_o be_v scarce_o any_o state_n so_o mean_a as_o to_o be_v utter_o exempt_a from_o all_o discharge_n of_o it_o yet_o they_o be_v the_o rich_a and_o wealthy_a those_o to_o who_o providence_n have_v be_v free_a and_o liberal_a no_o less_o to_o set_v they_o a_o example_n what_o they_o ought_v to_o do_v to_o other_o than_o to_o enable_v they_o to_o do_v it_o who_o we_o be_v to_o look_v upon_o as_o the_o chief_a steward_n of_o heaven_n and_o dispenser_n of_o its_o blessing_n to_o the_o poor_a and_o needy_a and_o therefore_o s._n paul_n though_o he_o recommend_v a_o christian_a charity_n to_o all_o and_o pass_v by_o none_o in_o his_o exhortation_n to_o it_o yet_o we_o may_v observe_v that_o they_o be_v such_o as_o these_o who_o he_o bid_v timothy_n in_o a_o particular_a manner_n call_v upon_o not_o to_o be_v want_v in_o it_o 17._o charge_v they_o that_o be_v rich_a in_o this_o world_n that_o they_o be_v rich_a in_o good_a work_n 18_o ready_a to_o distribute_v 19_o willing_a to_o communicate_v lay_v up_o in_o store_n for_o

i_o shall_v not_o need_v to_o say_v what_o a_o mighty_a advantage_n this_o also_o give_v to_o such_o person_n of_o do_v more_o than_o ordinary_a good_a by_o oblige_v other_o to_o become_v so_o and_o indeed_o i_o can_v tell_v whether_o there_o be_v any_o more_o true_o beneficial_a but_o sure_o i_o be_o a_o more_o noble_a and_o worthy_a use_v there_o can_v be_v make_v of_o any_o power_n or_o authority_n we_o may_v have_v commit_v to_o we_o than_o for_o the_o promote_a the_o glory_n of_o god_n the_o salvation_n of_o man_n soul_n and_o a_o public_a sense_n of_o piety_n and_o religion_n in_o the_o world_n and_o how_o those_o to_o who_o god_n have_v give_v so_o glorious_a a_o advantage_n as_o this_o of_o serve_v he_o in_o a_o more_o than_o ordinary_a manner_n will_v be_v able_a to_o excuse_v themselves_o at_o the_o last_o day_n if_o they_o do_v not_o especial_o employ_v it_o to_o this_o best_a of_o end_n i_o must_v confess_v i_o do_v not_o see_v nor_o can_v i_o persuade_v myself_o that_o a_o private_a piety_n be_v all_o god_n will_v exact_v of_o such_o person_n in_o who_o power_n it_o be_v in_o some_o measure_n to_o have_v reform_v the_o age_n and_o if_o not_o to_o have_v make_v it_o good_a yet_o at_o least_o to_o have_v keep_v it_o from_o be_v open_o and_o scandalous_o wicked_a nay_o but_o 3_o and_o to_o close_v this_o point_n shall_v those_o who_o we_o be_v now_o speak_v of_o have_v no_o such_o advantage_n as_o these_o in_o point_n either_o of_o riches_n or_o authority_n which_o nevertheless_o i_o believe_v but_o few_o of_o they_o want_n yet_o still_o the_o very_a influence_n of_o a_o great_a man_n example_n be_v beneficial_a it_o not_o only_o strike_v man_n eye_n but_o for_o the_o most_o part_n i_o know_v not_o how_o charm_v their_o very_a heart_n and_o affection_n into_o a_o love_n first_o and_o then_o into_o a_o imitation_n of_o it_o there_o be_v nothing_o more_o ordinary_a in_o the_o common_a practice_n of_o the_o world_n than_o for_o those_o of_o a_o inferior_a rank_n to_o take_v their_o measure_n from_o such_o as_o be_v above_o them_o it_o be_v this_o make_v sin_n its_o self_n become_v reputable_a when_o countenance_v by_o the_o example_n of_o the_o great_a and_o honourable_a and_o the_o command_v of_o god_n and_o all_o the_o terror_n of_o eternity_n be_v too_o weak_a to_o prevail_v against_o the_o power_n of_o vice_n when_o get_v into_o credit_n and_o custom_n among_o such_o person_n how_o much_o more_o may_v we_o hope_v to_o see_v piety_n and_o religion_n revive_v among_o we_o will_v the_o prince_n and_o noble_n of_o our_o israel_n serious_o resolve_v to_o set_v the_o example_n and_o make_v virtue_n as_o necessary_a to_o a_o good_a esteem_n and_o interest_n and_o reputation_n with_o man_n as_o it_o be_v to_o gain_v the_o love_n of_o god_n and_o the_o blessing_n and_o glory_n of_o eternity_n and_o thus_o have_v i_o consider_v very_o brief_o a_o few_o of_o those_o advantage_n which_o oblige_v person_n of_o great_a authority_n and_o fortune_n and_o quality_n in_o the_o world_n to_o a_o more_o strict_a and_o careful_a discharge_n of_o their_o duty_n than_o other_o man_n let_v we_o see_v two_o what_o the_o effect_n of_o all_o this_o general_o be_v and_o whether_o these_o very_a thing_n at_o the_o same_o time_n that_o they_o thus_o lie_v a_o great_a obligation_n upon_o such_o person_n be_v not_o apt_a consider_v the_o evil_a inclination_n of_o corrupt_a nature_n to_o be_v pervert_v to_o a_o quite_o contrary_a purpose_n both_o to_o tempt_v they_o first_o and_o then_o to_o enable_v they_o to_o be_v more_o high_o criminal_a than_o other_o man_n in_o speak_v to_o which_o point_n i_o presume_v no_o one_o will_v so_o far_o misunderstand_v i_o as_o to_o think_v i_o have_v any_o design_n to_o make_v a_o apology_n for_o the_o sin_n of_o great_a man_n by_o show_v what_o extraordinary_a danger_n and_o temptation_n their_o very_a condition_n often_o time_n expose_v they_o to_o for_o though_o where_o
