and_o what_o can_v we_o now_o think_v of_o those_o who_o drive_v such_o person_n from_o their_o door_n in_o who_o god_n himself_o vouchsafe_v to_o dwell_v who_o unconcerned_o shall_v suffer_v such_o

himself_o have_v god_n and_o christ_n be_v as_o uncompassionate_a to_o we_o the_o world_n have_v want_v a_o saviour_n to_o this_o day_n and_o since_o he_o come_v to_o save_v sinner_n only_o we_o may_v learn_v also_o a_o far_a lesson_n that_o there_o be_v some_o act_n of_o grace_n which_o belong_v proper_o and_o peculiar_o to_o they_o the_o whole_a have_v no_o need_n of_o a_o physician_n but_o the_o

reason_n of_o a_o man_n and_o so_o procure_v to_o ourselves_o a_o citizen_n reward_n of_o save_v a_o soul_n alive_a but_o here_o in_o what_o manner_n or_o what_o measure_n to_o bestow_v no_o general_a

so_o as_o to_o add_v fuel_n to_o hell-fire_n or_o whereby_o we_o may_v either_o increase_v or_o encourage_v any_o one_o in_o his_o vice_n but_o as_o to_o all_o the_o common_a want_v of_o nature_n and_o necessity_n our_o heavenly_a father_n have_v set_v a_o rule_n whereby_o we_o can_v never_o err_v who_o as_o our_o saviour_n tell_v we_o in_o his_o sermon_n on_o the_o mount_n make_v his_o sun_n to_o rise_v on_o the_o evil_a and_o on_o the_o good_a and_o send_v rain_n on_o the_o just_a and_o on_o the_o unjust_a but_o though_o we_o be_v thus_o in_o common_a case_n to_o exercise_v our_o charity_n to_o all_o man_n both_o to_o the_o good_a and_o to_o the_o bad_a yet_o more_o particular_o to_o the_o one_o than_o to_o the_o other_o and_o as_o the_o word_n be_v more_o especial_o to_o those_o who_o be_v of_o the_o household_n of_o faith_n which_o bring_v we_o upon_o this_o far_a enquiry_n who_o may_v be_v say_v to_o be_v of_o the_o household_n and_o first_o all_o christian_n in_o general_n be_v the_o household_n of_o faith_n who_o be_v all_o under_o one_o oeconomy_n have_v one_o and_o the_o same_o master_n of_o the_o house_n christ_n jesus_n and_o the_o same_o rule_v give_v they_o for_o the_o well_o manage_v themselves_o in_o his_o family_n now_o one_o reason_n why_o we_o shall_v do_v good_a to_o christian_n more_o especial_o be_v because_o in_o they_o be_v add_v to_o the_o former_a obligation_n the_o have_v one_o common_a lord_n and_o saviour_n who_o die_v for_o they_o all_o and_o the_o rule_n give_v upon_o this_o for_o we_o to_o follow_v be_v to_o love_v one_o another_o as_o christ_n love_v we_o and_o then_o it_o must_v be_v exceed_o great_a because_o great_a love_n can_v no_o man_n show_v than_o to_o lay_v down_o his_o life_n for_o another_o so_o that_o where_o we_o be_v to_o show_v pity_n unto_o other_o there_o to_o christian_n it_o must_v be_v love_n where_o love_n to_o they_o there_o to_o christian_n it_o must_v be_v zeal_n and_o where_o we_o bare_o supply_v their_o want_n there_o to_o christian_n we_o ought_v for_o to_o abound_v 2_o a_o second_o reason_n be_v because_o christian_n be_v all_o member_n of_o the_o same_o mystical_a body_n
