parabolical_a say_n make_v you_o friend_n of_o the_o vain_a transitory_a mammon_n for_o that_o be_v the_o meaning_n of_o the_o place_n that_o when_o you_o shall_v fail_v they_o may_v receive_v you_o

fail_v not_o where_o no_o thief_n approach_v nor_o moth_n corrupt_v nay_o he_o have_v so_o espouse_v the_o cause_n of_o the_o poor_a as_o to_o declare_v that_o what_o we_o do_v unto_o they_o he_o will_v take_v it_o as_o do_v unto_o his_o own_o person_n as_o it_o be_v write_v very_o i_o say_v unto_o you_o in_o as_o much_o as_o you_o do_v it_o unto_o one_o of_o these_o my_o hungry_a sick_a and_o naked_a member_n you_o do_v it_o unto_o i_o hence_o it_o come_v to_o pass_v that_o we_o read_v so_o much_o of_o collection_n and_o minister_a to_o the_o saint_n in_o the_o new_a testament_n when_o the_o rich_a christian_n reserve_v to_o themselves_o only_o food_n and_o raiment_n be_v therewith_o content_a charity_n to_o man_n be_v then_o the_o only_a test_n of_o love_n unto_o god_n according_a to_o what_o st._n john_n say_v he_o that_o love_v not_o his_o brother_n who_o he_o have_v see_v how_o can_v be_v love_n god_n who_o he_o have_v not_o see_v and_o whosoever_o have_v the_o good_n of_o this_o world_n and_o shut_v up_o the_o bowel_n of_o his_o compassion_n from_o his_o brother_n who_o he_o see_v in_o need_n how_o dwell_v the_o love_n of_o god_n in_o he_o ii_o have_v now_o show_v that_o do_v of_o almsdeed_n be_v a_o duty_n incumbent_n upon_o all_o man_n that_o have_v wherewith_o to_o do_v they_o i_o proceed_v in_o the_o second_o place_n to_o show_v that_o the_o performance_n of_o this_o duty_n be_v high_o acceptable_a unto_o god_n and_o beneficial_a unto_o men._n the_o first_o be_v the_o very_a motive_n by_o which_o the_o apostle_n exhort_v we_o unto_o beneficence_n in_o my_o text_n to_o do_v good_a and_o to_o communicate_v forget_v not_o for_o with_o such_o sacrifice_n god_n be_v well_o please_v it_o be_v plain_a from_o hence_o that_o god_n accept_v of_o what_o we_o do_v for_o the_o poor_a as_o do_v unto_o himself_o and_o that_o our_o alm_n under_o the_o gospel_n have_v the_o nature_n of_o offering_n and_o sacrifice_n with_o which_o god_n be_v please_v and_o render_v propitious_a under_o the_o law_n the_o apostle_n express_v the_o acceptable_a nature_n of_o almsgiving_n yet_o more_o emphatical_o in_o phil._n 4.18_o where_o he_o say_v unto_o they_o i_o be_o full_a of_o the_o good_a thing_n which_o i_o receive_v from_o you_o by_o epaphroditus_n as_o a_o offering_n of_o sweet_a smell_a odour_n a_o sacrifice_n acceptable_a and_o please_v unto_o god_n this_o phrase_n of_o a_o sweet_a smell_a odour_n be_v pure_o sacrificial_a and_o take_v from_o the_o old_a testament_n where_o god_n be_v say_v to_o have_v smell_v in_o the_o sacrifice_n and_o to_o have_v smell_v a_o sweet_a savour_n in_o the_o offering_n and_o sacrifice_n which_o he_o accept_v as_o in_o gen._n 18.21_o when_o noah_n offer_v burn_v offering_n upon_o the_o altar_n which_o he_o build_v after_o he_o come_v out_o of_o the_o ark_n the_o text_n say_v that_o the_o lord_n smell_v a_o sweet_a savour_n and_o in_o eph._n 5.2_o the_o apostle_n in_o allusion_n to_o that_o place_n say_v that_o christ_n give_v himself_o a_o sacrifice_n a_o offering_n to_o god_n for_o a_o sweet_a smell_a savour_n i_o will_v not_o be_v so_o misunderstand_v by_o this_o remark_n as_o if_o i_o think_v almsgiving_n be_v a_o offering_n of_o the_o same_o nature_n and_o value_v as_o the_o offering_n of_o christ_n far_o be_v that_o from_o i_o but_o only_o to_o let_v you_o see_v how_o high_o acceptable_a it_o must_v needs_o be_v to_o god_n when_o his_o holy_a spirit_n express_v the_o acceptable_a nature_n of_o it_o by_o the_o same_o sacrificial_a term_n by_o which_o he_o set_v forth_o the_o acceptance_n of_o the_o sacrifice_n of_o christ_n adn_n as_o sweet_a odour_n perfume_v other_o thing_n and_o make_v they_o delightful_a to_o the_o smell_n so_o the_o sweet_a odour_n of_o our_o alm_n perfume_n our_o very_a prayer_n and_o make_v they_o more_o acceptable_a unto_o god_n prayer_n say_v the_o angel_n unto_o tobias_n be_v good_a with_o alm_n and_o it_o be_v better_a to_o give_v alm_n than_o to_o lay_v up_o god_n and_o say_v the_o angel_n unto_o cornelius_n who_o give_v much_o alm_n unto_o the_o people_n thy_o prayer_n and_o thy_o alm_n be_v come_v up_o for_o a_o memorial_n

look_v upon_o do_v of_o alm_n as_o do_v unto_o himself_o and_o therefore_o since_o the_o do_n of_o they_o be_v so_o very_o acceptable_a to_o god_n and_o open_v his_o ear_n unto_o our_o prayer_n it_o must_v needs_o in_o the_o end_n redound_v very_o much_o to_o the_o benefit_n and_o advantage_n of_o man_n thus_o say_v the_o lord_n in_o deut._n 15._o thou_o shall_v sure_o give_v unto_o thy_o poor_a brother_n and_o let_v not_o thy_o heart_n be_v grieve_v when_o thou_o give_v unto_o he_o because_o that_o for_o this_o thing_n the_o lord_n shall_v bless_v thou_o in_o all_o thy_o work_n and_o in_o all_o that_o thou_o put_v thy_o hand_n unto_o so_o say_v the_o prophet_n isaiah_n if_o thou_o draw_v out_o thy_o soul_n unto_o the_o hungry_a and_o satisfy_v the_o afflict_a soul_n then_o shall_v thy_o light_n rise_v in_o obscurity_n and_o thy_o darkness_n be_v as_o the_o noon_n day_n and_o the_o lord_n shall_v be_v thy_o reward_n and_o guide_v thou_o continual_o and_o satisfy_v thy_o soul_n in_o drought_n and_o make_v fat_a thy_o bone_n and_o thou_o shall_v be_v like_o a_o water_a garden_n and_o like_o a_o spring_n who_o water_n never_o fail_v so_o say_v the_o psalmist_n bless_a be_v he_o that_o consider_v the_o poor_a the_o lord_n will_v deliver_v he_o in_o time_n of_o trouble_n and_o in_o the_o 37th_o psalm_n he_o confirm_v this_o doctrine_n by_o the_o observation_n and_o

in_o the_o four_o ch._n give_v alm_n of_o thy_o substance_n and_o when_o thou_o give_v alm_n let_v not_o thy_o eye_n be_v envious_a neither_o turn_v thy_o face_n from_o the_o poor_a and_o the_o face_n
