imagine_v themselves_o to_o flourish_v in_o their_o offspring_n now_o the_o receiver_n if_o he_o be_v not_o of_o a_o very_a happy_a and_o christian_a temper_n if_o the_o obligation_n be_v not_o confer_v upon_o he_o with_o frankness_n and_o affability_n he_o will_v not_o find_v himself_o in_o any_o vigorous_a disposition_n towards_o gratitude_n for_o there_o be_v nothing_o more_o certain_a than_o that_o the_o acknowledgement_n of_o man_n inability_n and_o dependence_n which_o result_v from_o the_o relation_n of_o a_o benefactor_n make_v some_o person_n abate_v in_o their_o affection_n towards_o he_o but_o the_o oblige_a person_n have_v a_o delightful_a sense_n and_o prospect_n of_o his_o condition_n he_o view_v himself_o under_o the_o notion_n of_o power_n and_o goodness_n which_o be_v a_o strong_a motive_n to_o invite_v his_o charity_n and_o beneficence_n because_o he_o find_v himself_o magnify_v by_o it_o and_o the_o far_a advance_n he_o make_v in_o the_o exercise_n of_o this_o virtue_n the_o more_o he_o raise_v the_o elevation_n of_o his_o be_v thus_o i_o hope_v i_o have_v in_o some_o measure_n make_v good_a the_o truth_n of_o these_o excellent_a word_n of_o our_o saviour_n it_o be_v more_o bless_a to_o give_v than_o to_o receive_v i_o shall_v brief_o infer_v something_o from_o the_o text_n and_o so_o conclude_v 1._o since_o it_o be_v more_o happy_a to_o give_v than_o to_o receive_v i_o think_v we_o ought_v careful_o to_o avoid_v all_o vanity_n and_o superfluousness_n in_o the_o managery_n of_o our_o fortune_n that_o so_o we_o may_v be_v the_o better_a able_a to_o contribute_v more_o liberal_o to_o those_o that_o want_n indeed_o be_v there_o no_o such_o thing_n as_o want_v and_o necessity_n in_o the_o world_n be_v every_o one_o competent_o furnish_v with_o the_o conveniency_n of_o life_n man_n may_v then_o have_v be_v permit_v a_o free_a and_o a_o more_o indulgent_a use_n of_o their_o wealth_n then_o provide_v that_o they_o have_v not_o fall_v into_o any_o vicious_a excess_n they_o may_v have_v be_v allow_v to_o entertain_v their_o appetite_n at_o a_o more_o expensive_a rate_n and_o to_o have_v please_v their_o little_a fancy_n with_o the_o glittering_n of_o state_n and_o magnisicence_n for_o though_o a_o strong_a propensity_n to_o the_o pleasure_n of_o sense_n and_o a_o affect_a ostentation_n of_o riches_n will_v be_v a_o argument_n of_o a_o weak_a and_o a_o obnoxious_a mind_n yet_o other_o will_v not_o have_v be_v the_o worse_a for_o such_o a_o extravagance_n but_o now_o since_o we_o have_v the_o poor_a always_o with_o we_o since_o there_o be_v so_o many_o in_o indigent_a and_o unsupported_a circumstance_n if_o we_o prefer_v the_o vanity_n and_o effeminacy_n of_o a_o unaccountable_a desire_n before_o the_o necessity_n of_o our_o brethren_n we_o be_v both_o unjust_a and_o inhuman_a for_o what_o can_v be_v more_o unaccountable_a than_o to_o throw_v away_o the_o surplusage_n of_o our_o fortune_n upon_o empty_a and_o insignificant_a show_n when_o there_o be_v so_o many_o misfortune_n and_o misery_n of_o mankind_n which_o may_v have_v be_v in_o a_o great_a measure_n remove_v and_o alleviate_v by_o we_o and_o as_o there_o be_v nothing_o more_o unreasonable_a and_o unrighteous_a to_o spend_v the_o patrimony_n of_o the_o poor_a upon_o luxury_n and_o pride_n so_o it_o likewise_o deprive_v we_o of_o the_o great_a pleasure_n which_o be_v consequent_a to_o a_o charitable_a disposition_n such_o a_o person_n can_v conclude_v that_o he_o have_v the_o favour_n and_o esteem_n either_o of_o god_n or_o man_n the_o belief_n of_o which_o be_v one_o of_o the_o great_a support_n and_o entertainment_n to_o a_o rational_a mind_n on_o the_o contrary_a if_o he_o have_v but_o sense_n and_o impartiality_n enough_o to_o examine_v his_o own_o action_n and_o temper_v when_o he_o see_v how_o selfish_a and_o narrow-spirited_n he_o be_v how_o void_a of_o the_o proper_a tenderness_n and_o generosity_n of_o his_o kind_n in_o this_o case_n if_o he_o have_v any_o apprehension_n of_o good_a and_o evil_n leave_v he_o he_o can_v choose_v but_o be_v a_o very_a unagreeable_a spectacle_n to_o himself_o and_o condemn_v himself_o in_o those_o thing_n which_o he_o allow_v 2._o those_o which_o be_v receiver_n ought_v not_o to_o murmur_v against_o the_o providence_n of_o god_n and_o be_v discontent_v with_o their_o condition_n that_o the_o giver_n circumstance_n be_v more_o desirable_a must_v be_v grant_v for_o the_o forementioned_a reason_n but_o to_o draw_v the_o balance_n somewhat_o towards_o a_o evenness_n we_o may_v add_v that_o as_o the_o receiver_n condition_n be_v not_o so_o liable_a to_o some_o vice_n as_o the_o other_o be_v so_o neither_o have_v he_o so_o large_a a_o account_n to_o give_v up_o afterward_o for_o as_o our_o bless_a saviour_n tell_v we_o that_o to_o who_o much_o be_v give_v much_o will_v be_v require_v so_o he_o who_o trust_n be_v small_a will_v have_v the_o less_o proportion_n of_o stock_n and_o improvement_n to_o be_v answerable_a for_o beside_o by_o his_o acknowledgement_n and_o good_a wish_n and_o prayer_n he_o have_v a_o fair_a opportunity_n of_o discharge_v the_o debt_n and_o return_v the_o obligation_n upon_o the_o most_o considerable_a benefactor_n as_o for_o dependence_n which_o all_o mankind_n have_v a_o natural_a aversion_n to_o be_v rather_o out_o of_o a_o spirit_n of_o native_a greatness_n than_o pride_n i_o say_v this_o unacceptable_a attendance_n of_o a_o low_a condition_n be_v not_o so_o peculiar_a to_o it_o as_o to_o be_v the_o poor-man_n fate_n alone_o this_o be_v a_o inconvenience_n that_o pursue_v the_o indigent_a and_o defenceless_a state_n of_o humane_a nature_n in_o general_a there_o be_v no_o rank_n nor_o degree_n of_o man_n raise_v to_o that_o height_n of_o selfsufficiency_n but_o be_v in_o some_o measure_n sensible_a of_o the_o weight_n and_o uneasiness_n of_o it_o as_o long_o as_o man_n carry_v these_o frail_a body_n about_o they_o they_o must_v lie_v at_o the_o mercy_n of_o a_o foreign_a assistance_n and_o be_v subject_a sometime_o to_o the_o insolence_n and_o ill-nature_n of_o a_o uncompassionate_a and_o haughty_a disposition_n but_o when_o we_o have_v nothing_o but_o a_o poor_a spirit_n to_o take_v care_n of_o which_o be_v able_a to_o maintain_v itself_o upon_o the_o strength_n of_o its_o own_o be_v it_o be_v impregnable_a against_o all_o assault_n and_o when_o this_o mortal_a shall_v have_v put_v on_o immortality_n and_o shall_v be_v no_o long_o liable_a to_o want_v or_o expose_v to_o injury_n than_o all_o the_o cause_n of_o dependence_n will_v vanish_v and_o fall_v off_o and_o man_n in_o the_o most_o comprehensive_a sense_n will_v be_v translate_v into_o the_o most_o glorious_a liberty_n of_o the_o son_n of_o god_n for_o notwithstanding_o the_o saint_n will_v have_v different_a degree_n of_o glory_n proportionable_a to_o the_o great_a work_n of_o piety_n and_o goodness_n they_o have_v do_v here_o yet_o this_o distinction_n will_v not_o subject_v those_o of_o the_o low_a order_n to_o any_o dependence_n upon_o a_o superior_a quality_n for_o the_o apostle_n st._n paul_n tell_v we_o then_o that_o all_o rule_n and_o authority_n shall_v 15._o 1_o cor._n 15._o be_v put_v down_o and_o god_n shall_v be_v all_o in_o all_o which_o noble_a state_n
