let_v we_o not_o be_v weary_a in_o well-doing_n for_o in_o due_a season_n we_o shall_v reap_v if_o we_o faint_v not_o which_o bring_v i_o to_o the_o last_o thing_n propose_v vthly_a to_o consider_v the_o great_a engagement_n we_o have_v to_o the_o fulfil_n of_o this_o duty_n in_o that_o glorious_a reward_n which_o god_n have_v promise_v to_o the_o performance_n of_o it_o among_o all_o the_o argument_n which_o either_o the_o authority_n of_o holy_a scripture_n or_o the_o common_a principle_n of_o reason_n afford_v to_o we_o to_o stir_v we_o up_o to_o the_o practice_n of_o this_o duty_n there_o be_v none_o that_o strike_v so_o forcible_o upon_o the_o mind_n of_o all_o sort_n of_o man_n as_o the_o consideration_n of_o those_o great_a blessing_n which_o god_n have_v promise_v to_o the_o diligent_a performance_n of_o it_o and_o of_o those_o severe_a judgement_n which_o he_o will_v one_o day_n execute_v upon_o those_o that_o shall_v continue_v to_o neglect_v and_o disregard_n it_o other_o reflection_n may_v serve_v to_o convince_v man_n of_o the_o justice_n and_o reasonableness_n of_o such_o a_o practice_n and_o which_o indeed_o be_v so_o very_o clear_a that_o there_o be_v few_o so_o ill-natured_a and_o insensible_a as_o to_o deny_v it_o but_o this_o show_v the_o necessity_n of_o it_o other_o may_v force_v we_o to_o confess_v it_o to_o be_v very_o tit_v that_o we_o shall_v be_v thus_o kind_a and_o charitable_a to_o one_o another_o but_o this_o speak_v with_o authority_n and_o make_v we_o resolve_v in_o good_a earnest_n so_o to_o be_v he_o that_o tell_v i_o how_o high_o reasonable_a it_o be_v that_o i_o shall_v do_v all_o the_o good_a i_o can_v with_o the_o portion_n which_o god_n have_v give_v i_o *_o that_o for_o this_o end_n i_o have_v receive_v it_o and_o to_o this_o end_n ought_v especial_o to_o employ_v it_o *_o that_o my_o riches_n be_v not_o my_o own_o but_o commit_v to_o i_o in_o trust_n for_o the_o benefit_n of_o other_o as_o well_o as_o for_o my_o own_o use_n and_o that_o i_o shall_v be_v false_a to_o that_o trust_n if_o i_o do_v no_o good_a to_o other_o by_o they_o *_o that_o i_o ought_v to_o express_v my_o gratitude_n to_o god_n for_o his_o extraordinary_a favour_n to_o i_o by_o be_v bountiful_a to_o those_o who_o have_v not_o receive_v so_o large_a a_o portion_n of_o he_o *_o that_o this_o will_n above_o any_o thing_n render_v i_o most_o like_a unto_o god_n and_o most_o belove_a of_o man_n *_o that_o the_o poor_a person_n in_o the_o world_n be_v yet_o my_o brother_n partaker_n of_o the_o same_o nature_n and_o constitution_n it_o may_v be_v of_o the_o same_o promise_n of_o grace_n too_o with_o myself_o and_o therefore_o that_o it_o will_v be_v high_o not_o only_o un-christian_a but_o even_o unnatural_a and_o inhuman_a not_o to_o have_v some_o sense_n and_o feel_n of_o his_o misery_n 2._o in_o a_o word_n *_o that_o our_o riches_n be_v very_o uncertain_a and_o we_o shall_v consider_v that_o what_o be_v the_o condition_n of_o many_o thousand_o now_o but_o late_o in_o as_o flourish_v a_o estate_n as_o ourselves_o may_v for_o aught_o we_o know_v the_o next_o year_n be_v our_o own_o if_o god_n for_o our_o vncharitableness_n shall_v think_v sit_v to_o let_v we_o also_o fall_v into_o the_o hand_n of_o the_o same_o cruel_a and_o merciless_a man_n and_o therefore_o that_o we_o ought_v to_o think_v what_o we_o shall_v judge_v reasonable_a for_o other_o in_o such_o a_o case_n to_o do_v to_o we_o and_o then_o remember_v the_o great_a rule_n both_o of_o nature_n and_o the_o gospel_n and_o do_v even_o so_o unto_o they_o 12._o do_v certain_o speak_v a_o great_a deal_n of_o sense_n and_o may_v just_o move_v my_o assent_n to_o his_o argument_n but_o it_o be_v the_o man_n who_o can_v draw_v aside_o the_o veil_n and_o set_v life_n and_o death_n blessing_n and_o curse_v before_o i_o and_o then_o make_v it_o appear_v upon_o such_o ground_n as_o i_o can_v deny_v or_o even_o doubt_v of_o that_o my_o happiness_n or_o misery_n both_o in_o this_o world_n and_o the_o other_o depend_v upon_o my_o observance_n or_o neglect_v of_o this_o duty_n that_o will_v awaken_v all_o the_o power_n of_o my_o soul_n and_o at_o the_o same_o time_n both_o convince_v and_o force_v to_o a_o compliance_n and_o such_o be_v the_o argument_n we_o have_v here_o before_o we_o and_o from_o which_o therefore_o the_o apostle_n conclude_v the_o necessity_n of_o our_o do_v good_a as_o a_o matter_n that_o will_v admit_v of_o no_o debate_n be_v not_o say_v he_o deceive_v god_n be_v not_o mock_v for_o whatsoever_o a_o man_n sow_v that_o he_o shall_v also_o reap_v he_o that_o sow_v to_o his_o flesh_n that_o be_v that_o either_o spend_v what_o he_o have_v on_o the_o sensual_a enjoyment_n of_o the_o flesh_n or_o else_o hoard_v it_o together_o to_o the_o covetous_a satisfy_v the_o desire_n of_o it_o shall_v of_o the_o flesh_n reap_v corruption_n but_o he_o that_o sow_v to_o the_o spirit_n i.e._n as_o the_o

other_o place_n of_o holy_a scripture_n and_o from_o all_o which_o it_o be_v obvious_a to_o conclude_v that_o if_o we_o have_v any_o regard_n either_o to_o our_o present_a happiness_n or_o to_o our_o future_a glory_n there_o be_v nothing_o wherein_o we_o ought_v to_o be_v more_o careful_a than_o by_o our_o charity_n to_o establish_v ourselves_o in_o both_o for_o one_a as_o to_o this_o present_a
