Then shall the King say to them on his right hand come ye blessed of my Father inherit the Kingdom prepared for you from the Foundation of the World For I was an hungred and ye gave me meat I was thirsty and ye gave me drink I was a stranger and ye took me in naked and ye cloathed me I was sick and ye visited me I was in prison and ye came unto me AS there is no Virtue more excellent in its Nature more honourable to our selves or more useful to Mankind than that of Charity so I do not know of any that has more Topicks to recommend it The Occasions of exercising this Duty are many and frequent and they are often such as call upon the Ministers of the Gospel to inculcate and press it and yet the Subject is not exhausted but affords still ample Matter for our Meditation This Anniversary Meeting which we now celebrate gives a succession of fit Opportunities for a Discourse of this Nature And blessed be God! it is a very noble Demonstration that these Discourses are not in vain that they do move the Hearts and Affections of the Hearers and that the Seed sown produces a plentiful Crop to the Relief of Multitudes some of which are the Ornament and Glory of the present Solemnity And it must needs be a solid Comfort to all that are truly zealous for the Honour of our Holy Religion to find that among all the Corruptions of the Age which are so justly complain'd of there is yet such a Spirit of Charity visible in this great City as plainly shews that Christianity has a Life and Vigor among us and that there are not wanting Numbers of those who make it appear that they love the Lord Iesus Christ by their Pity and Compassion to his suffering Members What I am now to read to you is an ample Testimony in this Matter viz.
