my_o fate_n for_o to_o i_o avarice_n seem_v not_o so_o much_o a_o vice_n as_o a_o deplorable_a piece_n of_o madness_n to_o conceive_v ourselves_o urinal_n or_o be_v persuade_v that_o we_o be_v dead_a be_v not_o so_o ridiculous_a nor_o so_o many_o degree_n beyond_o the_o power_n of_o hellebore_n as_o this_o the_o opinion_n of_o theory_n and_o position_n of_o man_n be_v not_o so_o void_a of_o

philosophy_n and_o there_o be_v no_o de●irium_fw-la if_o we_o do_v but_o speculate_v the_o folly_n and_o indisputable_a dotage_n of_o avari●e_n to_o that_o subterraneous_a idol_n and_o god_n of_o the_o earth_n i_o do_v confess_v i_o be_o a_o atheist_n i_o can_v persuade_v myself_o to_o honour_v that_o the_o world_n adore_v whatsoever_o virtue_n its_o prepare_v sublime_a may_v have_v within_o my_o body_n it_o have_v no_o influence_n nor_o operation_n without_o i_o will_v not_o entertain_v a_o base_a design_n or_o a_o action_n that_o shall_v call_v i_o villain_n for_o the_o indies_n and_o for_o this_o only_o do_v i_o love_v and_o honour_v my_o soul_n and_o have_v i_o think_v two_o arm_n too_o few_o to_o embrace_v myself_o aristotle_n be_v too_o severe_a that_o will_v not_o allow_v we_o to_o be_v true_o liberal_a without_o wealth_n and_o the_o bountiful_a hand_n of_o fortune_n if_o this_o be_v true_a i_o must_v confess_v i_o be_o charitable_a only_a in_o my_o liberal_a intention_n and_o bountiful_a well-wish_n but_o if_o the_o example_n of_o the_o mite_n be_v not_o only_o a_o act_n of_o wonder_n but_o a_o example_n of_o the_o noble_a charity_n i_o can_v just_o boast_v i_o be_o as_o charitable_a as_o some_o who_o have_v build_v hospital_n or_o erect_v cathedral_n i_o have_v a_o private_a method_n which_o other_o observe_v not_o i_o take_v the_o opportunity_n of_o myself_o to_o do_v good_a i_o borrow_v occasion_n of_o charity_n from_o my_o own_o necessity_n i_o supply_v the_o want_n of_o other_o when_o i_o be_o in_o most_o need_v myself_o when_o i_o be_o reduce_v to_o the_o last_o tester_n i_o love_v to_o d●vide_v it_o to_o the_o poor_a for_o it_o be_v a_o honest_a statagem_n to_o take_v the_o advantage_n of_o ourselves_o and_o so_o to_o husband_n the_o act_n of_o virtue_n that_o where_o they_o be_v defective_a in_o one_o circumstance_n they_o may_v repay_v their_o want_n and_o multiply_v their_o goodness_n in_o another_o i_o have_v not_o peru_n in_o my_o

the_o lord_n there_o be_v more_o rhetoric_n in_o that_o one_o sentence_n then_o in_o a_o library_n of_o sermon_n and_o indeed_o if_o those_o sentence_n be_v understand_v by_o the_o reader_n with_o

i_o can_v behold_v a_o beggar_n without_o relieve_v his_o necessity_n with_o my_o purse_n or_o his_o soul_n with_o my_o prayer_n the_o scenical_a and_o accidental_a difference_n between_o we_o can_v make_v i_o forget_v that_o common_a and_o untouched_a part_n of_o we_o both_o the_o soul_n be_v of_o the_o same_o alloy_n with_o our_o own_o who_o genealogy_n be_v god_n as_o well_o as_o we_o and_o in_o as_o fair_a a_o way_n to_o salvation_n as_o ourselves_o statist_n that_o labour_v to_o conceive_v a_o commonwealth_n without_o poverty_n do_v take_v away_o the_o object_n of_o charity_n not_o understand_v only_o the_o commonwealth_n of_o a_o christian_a but_o forget_v the_o prophecy_n of_o christ_n now_o there_o be_v another_o part_n of_o charity_n which_o be_v the_o basis_n and_o pillar_n of_o this_o and_o that_o be_v the_o love_n of_o god_n for_o who_o we_o love_v our_o neighbour_n for_o this_o i_o think_v charity_n to_o love_v god_n for_o himself_o and_o our_o neighbour_n for_o god_n all_o that_o be_v true_o amiable_a be_v god_n or_o as_o it_o be_v a_o divide_a piece_n of_o he_o that_o retain_v a_o reflex_n or_o shadow_n of_o himself_o nor_o be_v it_o strange_a that_o we_o shall_v place_v affection_n on_o that_o which_o be_v invisible_a all_o that_o we_o true_o love_n be_v thus_o what_o we_o adore_v under_o affection_n of_o our_o sense_n deserve_v not_o the_o honour_n of_o so_o pure_a a_o title_n thus_o we_o adore_v virtue_n though_o to_o the_o eye_n of_o sense_n she_o be_v invisible_a thus_o that_o part_n of_o our_o love_a friend_n that_o we_o love_v be_v not_o that_o part_n that_o we_o embrace_v but_o that_o insensible_a part_n that_o our_o arm_n can_v embrace_v god_n be_v all_o goodness_n can_v love_v nothing_o but_o himself_o he_o love_v we_o but_o for_o that_o

our_o parent_n yet_o how_o easy_o dissolve_v we_o betake_v ourselves_o to_o a_o woman_n forget_v our_o mother_n in_o a_o wife_n and_o the_o womb_n that_o bear_v we_o in_o that_o that_o shall_v bear_v our_o image_n this_o woman_n blessing_n we_o with_o child_n our_o affection_n leave_v the_o level_n it_o hold_v before_o and_o sink_v from_o our_o bed_n unto_o our_o issue_n and_o picture_n of_o
