have_v often_o read_v and_o hear_v in_o the_o church_n of_o nicomedia_n where_o he_o be_v a_o reader_n god_n be_v not_o unrighteous_a to_o forget_v your_o good_a work_n and_o the_o charity_n which_o you_o have_v show_v towards_o his_o name_n in_o minister_a unto_o the_o saint_n wherefore_o let_v i_o speak_v unto_o you_o as_o st._n cyprian_n do_v upon_o the_o same_o argument_n to_o the_o people_n of_o his_o diocese_n do_v not_o fear_v that_o your_o charity_n can_v beggar_v you_o or_o that_o you_o can_v lose_v by_o the_o money_n which_o you_o lend_v to_o christ_n upon_o use_n i_o do_v here_o promise_v and_o engage_v not_o of_o myself_o but_o upon_o the_o faith_n of_o the_o holy_a scripture_n and_o the_o authority_n of_o god_n promise_n it_o can_v for_o the_o holy_a ghost_n have_v say_v by_o the_o mouth_n of_o solomon_n he_o that_o give_v to_o the_o poor_a shall_v not_o lack_v and_o that_o the_o lord_n will_v not_o suffer_v the_o liberal_a soul_n to_o famish_v these_o promise_v we_o also_o find_v verify_v by_o many_o example_n in_o the_o scripture_n as_o when_o god_n feed_v elias_n in_o the_o wilderness_n by_o the_o ministry_n of_o a_o raven_n and_o prepare_v a_o dinner_n for_o daniel_n in_o the_o lion_n den_n where_o that_o speech_n of_o king_n david_n be_v literal_o fulfil_v when_o he_o say_v the_o lion_n do_v lack_v and_o suffer_v hunger_n but_o they_o who_o seek_v the_o lord_n shall_v want_v nothing_o that_o be_v good_a so_o the_o widow_n of_o sarepta_n for_o a_o morsel_n of_o bread_n which_o she_o give_v the_o prophet_n when_o she_o have_v not_o a_o whole_a loaf_n for_o herself_o be_v sustain_v with_o all_o her_o family_n by_o a_o miracle_n the_o barrel_n of_o her_o meal_n never_o waste_v or_o her_o cruse_a of_o oil_n fail_v until_o the_o famine_n be_v remove_v out_o of_o the_o land_n these_o thing_n as_o the_o apostle_n say_v be_v write_v for_o our_o instruction_n to_o show_v we_o that_o god_n will_v not_o falsify_v his_o promise_n but_o rather_o work_v miracle_n than_o let_v those_o perish_v who_o trust_v to_o they_o relieve_v other_o man_n want_n after_o so_o many_o promise_n and_o such_o instance_n of_o the_o fulfil_n of_o they_o a_o doubt_a heart_n say_v that_o charitable_a saint_n cyprian_a will_v become_v no_o man_n who_o belong_v to_o the_o household_n of_o faith_n no_o say_v that_o holy_a father_n diaconum_fw-la father_n v●t_fw-la

sacrilegious_a and_o to_o want_v faith_n in_o this_o point_n be_v to_o treat_v christ_n like_o the_o pharisee_n who_o be_v covetous_a deride_v he_o when_o he_o exhort_v they_o to_o make_v themselves_o friend_n of_o the_o false_a unconstant_a mammon_n and_o by_o so_o do_v oblige_v god_n to_o commit_v unto_o they_o the_o true_a and_o last_a riches_n in_o know_v it_o be_v often_o object_v against_o this_o doctrine_n that_o charitable_a man_n and_o their_o child_n sometime_o fall_v from_o plenty_n into_o poverty_n and_o suffer_v as_o much_o by_o want_n as_o those_o who_o harden_v their_o heart_n against_o the_o poor_a to_o which_o i_o answer_v that_o such_o instance_n be_v rare_a and_o seldom_o happen_v but_o when_o charitable_a man_n suffer_v with_o other_o in_o common_a judgement_n when_o as_o heathen_a apologist_n for_o god_n providence_n have_v observe_v god_n visit_v a_o nation_n or_o a_o city_n as_o such_o must_v punish_v good_a with_o the_o bad._n 2_o of_o those_o few_o instance_n which_o otherwise_o may_v be_v bring_v it_o be_v doubtful_a whether_o those_o esteem_v charitable_a man_n be_v real_o so_o or_o no_o for_o as_o there_o be_v a_o art_n of_o appear_v rich_a or_o learned_a when_o man_n be_v not_o so_o there_o be_v art_n of_o appear_v charitable_a and_o of_o that_o small_a number_n of_o man_n repute_v charitable_a who_o come_v to_o suffer_v want_n it_o may_v very_o well_o be_v presume_v that_o a_o great_a part_n of_o they_o be_v such_o only_a as_o have_v the_o name_n and_o reputation_n of_o be_v charitable_a without_o be_v so_o indeed_o 3_o of_o those_o that_o be_v real_o charitable_a real_o i_o mean_v as_o to_o the_o eye_n of_o man_n many_o do_v not_o or_o can_v give_v aright_o and_o so_o their_o charity_n though_o it_o be_v real_a as_o to_o the_o

of_o god_n such_o be_v the_o charity_n of_o those_o pharisee_n who_o give_v to_o be_v see_v of_o man_n and_o all_o extort_a or_o disproportionable_a charity_n which_o be_v give_v too_o spare_o and_o
