encouragement_n not_o only_o for_o they_o but_o for_o all_o succeed_a generation_n to_o have_v a_o regard_v for_o thing_n sacred_a but_o now_o to_o draw_v to_o a_o conclusion_n give_v i_o leave_v to_o make_v this_o short_a address_n to_o my_o brethren_n of_o the_o clergy_n not_o to_o instruct_v they_o in_o their_o duty_n but_o to_o speak_v their_o own_o thought_n in_o my_o plain_a word_n if_o the_o laity_n be_v just_a to_o we_o let_v not_o we_o be_v unjust_a to_o our_o master_n but_o let_v we_o give_v according_a as_o we_o be_v able_a to_o the_o necessity_n of_o the_o poor_a remember_v the_o levite_n be_v the_o least_o of_o all_o the_o tribe_n yet_o their_o privilege_n and_o revenue_n be_v great_a than_o any_o other_o of_o the_o tribe_n for_o they_o have_v not_o only_o the_o ten_o of_o all_o the_o fruit_n of_o the_o land_n but_o a_o share_n in_o all_o the_o peace-offering_n and_o free-will-offering_n of_o the_o people_n in_o their_o redemption_n of_o several_a thing_n sacred_a to_o god_n as_o the_o first-born_a beside_o the_o many_o city_n and_o land_n which_o be_v set_v apart_o in_o every_o tribe_n for_o they_o with_o numberless_a other_o thing_n that_o belong_v to_o they_o nay_o as_o i_o learn_v once_o by_o the_o conference_n of_o a_o eminent_a divine_a of_o the_o church_n of_o england_n they_o have_v near_o the_o six_o part_n of_o the_o revenue_n of_o the_o nation_n allot_v to_o they_o but_o now_o why_o i_o pray_v be_v their_o privilege_n and_o revenue_n great_a than_o any_o of_o the_o other_o tribe_n why_o this_o i_o take_v to_o be_v the_o reason_n because_o they_o be_v not_o only_a priest_n but_o almoner_n to_o the_o other_o tribe_n and_o their_o house_n be_v as_o hospital_n to_o the_o poor_a let_v we_o therefore_o as_o the_o apostle_n advise_v we_o be_v give_v to_o hospitality_n and_o follow_v the_o example_n of_o this_o great_a prophet_n in_o time_n of_o dearth_n and_o famine_n set_v on_o the_o great_a pot_n and_o seethe_v pottage_n for_o our_o poor_a brethren_n that_o be_v in_o distress_n i_o shall_v now_o conclude_v with_o this_o earnest_a prayer_n that_o you_o may_v never_o want_v clergy_n learned_a person_n and_o orthodox_n and_o diligent_a workman_n that_o need_v not_o be_v ashamed_a daily_o divide_v the_o word_n of_o truth_n and_o like_o good_a steward_n break_v the_o bread_n of_o life_n and_o distribute_v to_o each_o in_o their_o family_n suitable_a to_o their_o need_v and_o capacity_n and_o by_o a_o holy_a life_n may_v powerful_o lead_v as_o well_o as_o by_o sound_a doctrine_n safe_o guide_v they_o to_o heaven_n and_o i_o do_v further_o pray_v that_o these_o may_v never_o want_v a_o people_n teachable_a and_o obedient_a who_o may_v receive_v they_o as_o the_o angel_n of_o god_n the_o ambassador_n of_o christ_n and_o the_o glory_n of_o the_o church_n and_o then_o there_o be_v no_o doubt_n but_o they_o will_v meet_v with_o not_o only_o their_o legal_a due_n but_o many_o grateful_a return_v for_o their_o abundant_a labour_n reverence_v their_o person_n consult_v their_o reputation_n contrive_v for_o their_o decent_a and_o become_a support_n and_o maintenance_n in_o a_o word_n esteem_v they_o and_o they_o high_o for_o their_o work_n sake_n this_o will_v make_v our_o country_n a_o land_n of_o delight_n indeed_o the_o glory_n of_o all_o place_n a_o little_a resemblance_n and_o figure_n of_o

out_o of_o darkness_n to_o his_o infinite_a light_n which_o god_n of_o his_o infinite_a goodness_n grant_v for_o the_o sake_n of_o his_o dear_a son_n and_o our_o saviour_n christ_n jesus_n the_o
