out_o a_o distress_a family_n to_o relieve_v it_o if_o we_o seek_v out_o a_o disconsolate_a family_n to_o comfort_v it_o that_o will_v be_v our_o own_o family_n it_o will_v always_o own_v we_o

more_o sensible_a of_o the_o want_v and_o necessity_n of_o those_o that_o be_v near_o we_o than_o of_o those_o that_o be_v afar_o off_o we_o must_v not_o do_v good_a to_o our_o tenant_n or_o our_o

and_o regular_a circumference_n our_o hope_n and_o desire_n must_v be_v elevate_v above_o ourselves_o we_o must_v never_o stoop_v so_o low_a as_o to_o any_o selfish_a consideration_n but_o every_o

must_v weigh_v his_o virtue_n and_o measure_v his_o grace_n and_o number_v his_o day_n by_o the_o good_a that_o he_o do_v to_o mankind_n he_o must_v look_v upon_o himself_o as_o poor_a and_o
