at the last Day into Consideration and weigh well the best that can commonly and generally be made even by the best of Men which The best Account that can be made generally at the last Day and its insufficiency as I noted in the beginning of the first Letter is this That they have been good Husbands and carefully advanc'd or at least preserv'd their Talent and that without Fraud or Violence That these have supported themselves and their Dependants with the Rents and Issues of the same during their Lives and when they died convey'd them carefully to their Heirs and Assigns but whether they were left to wise Men or Fools they knew not or whether they are like to be imployed to the Service of God or the Devil they have made no Provision But to what purpose they have liv'd or wherein God or Man has been benefitted by their Lives they cannot shew no more than they can one Acre or Legacy for the Uses of Piety and Charity That as they have wrong'd so they have done good to no Man They have only possessed their own and only themselves and their second selves and nearest Relations have reaped the Benefits of it c. This is the best Account that most Men can give and how few are there that can give so good and yet I leave it even to the Judgments of these Accountants themselves Whether an honest and wise Heathen may not give up a better Or whether the unprofitable Servant in the Gospel did not give up the same And yet we read its Reward was no less than utter Darkness where there is weeping and gnashing of Teeth from which good Lord deliver us But how much better and more A better way of Accounting with God and the conclusion of the whole comfortable wou'd it be when we come to die if we cou'd say to God as the religious Israelite was taught to say in the end of the third Year usually call'd the Year of Tything when he had given the Levite the Stranger the Fatherless and the Widows their Portions Deut. 26. 13. I have brought away the hallowed things viz. That which I set apart and dedicated to thy Service out of mine own house to thine and there according to my Vows I have distributed them some to the Levite for the maintenance of thy Service some to Works of Charity to the Stranger the Fatherless and the Widow according to thy Commandments which thou O Lord hast commanded me I have not transgressed thy Commandments nor forgotten them c. And I cannot but expect thy Blessing upon what I have left to descend with it down to my Heirs c. Look down therefore from thy Holy Habitation and bless thy People and the Land which thou hast given me c. When we can testifie before our Judge that we have not altogether serv'd our Pleasures nor our Appetites with that which was committed to our Charge but to the utmost of our Powers have advanced the Honour of our God and the Good of our Neighbour with it during our Lives and when we were to leave the World that we likewise secur'd something for the Service of Piety and Charity so that it shall not be in the Power of our Heirs to alienate it This and only this can Comfort and Support the timorous Soul when it is brought before its Judge and assure it of a welcome It wou'd not only ensure us of Heaven but of a proportional increase of its Joys according to the Effects of our good Works It would likewise ascertain an everlasting Name upon Earth and build us up a Monument more durable than that of the dead deceitful Brass or Marble or those living but perishing ones of Sons and Daughters whilst we receive the Applauses of future as well as present Ages and those now unborn shall hereafter rise up and call us blessed And may you Sir be partaker of this Blessedness which is the Reward of Piety and Charity both on Earth here and in Heaven hereafter And so I return to take my Leave of you and to beg your candid Interpretation of any Expression in either Letter and your Pardon for any Mistake in both seeing I intended them for your Service and they were written for your Use and at your Command For I am Honoured Sir Yours c.
