charity_n be_v the_o very_a life_n the_o soul_n and_o as_o it_o be_v the_o essence_n of_o religion_n true_a religion_n do_v not_o consist_v so_o much_o in_o contemplation_n and_o speculation_n as_o in_o practice_n and_o action_n it_o be_v not_o so_o much_o the_o work_n of_o the_o head_n and_o the_o tongue_n as_o of_o the_o heart_n and_o the_o hand_n i_o think_v now_o a_o day_n religion_n be_v

whole_a body_n we_o be_v so_o far_o from_o work_n of_o charity_n that_o we_o can_v afford_v one_o another_o charitable_a word_n but_o i_o will_v have_v such_o bountefeaus_fw-la such_o fire_n brand_v

whoever_o get_v by_o such_o dispute_n i_o be_o sure_a the_o church_n lose_v i_o think_v the_o divine_n of_o england_n be_v like_o so_o many_o unnatural_a son_n like_v so_o many_o nero_n rip_v up_o the_o bowel_n of_o their_o own_o mother_n the_o church_n it_o have_v be_v better_a that_o many_o of_o they_o have_v never_o be_v than_o that_o they_o have_v be_v so_o seditious_a be_v well_o if_o

consider_v that_o good_a work_n be_v the_o best_a evidence_n of_o a_o good_a faith_n of_o a_o true_a save_v justify_v faith_n when_o i_o see_v the_o fruit_n of_o good_a work_n i_o can_v but_o conclude_v that_o the_o tree_n of_o faith_n be_v alive_a when_o our_o saviour_n have_v cure_v the_o man_n with_o the_o wither_a hand_n he_o bid_v he_o to_o testify_v that_o it_o be_v whole_a stretch_v it_o forth_o stretch_v forth_o thy_o hand_n o_o my_o belove_a if_o you_o will_v show_v i_o that_o the_o sinew_n of_o your_o faith_n be_v not_o shrink_v that_o the_o hand_n of_o your_o charity_n be_v not_o wither_v stretch_v they_o forth_o excellent_a be_v that_o of_o the_o apostle_n show_v i_o thy_o faith_n by_o thy_o work_n not_o by_o thy_o word_n but_o by_o thy_o work_n a_o workelesse_a faith_n be_v a_o worthless_a faith_n though_o it_o be_v faith_n alone_o that_o justify_v yet_o it_o be_v not_o a_o alone_a solitary_a unaccompanied_a faith_n though_o it_o be_v the_o fore_a finger_n alone_o that_o point_n in_o the_o hand_n yet_o it_o be_v not_o alone_a when_o it_o point_n faith_n in_o the_o soul_n be_v like_o a_o queen_n attend_v with_o a_o royal_a train_n of_o other_o grace_n as_o maiden_n of_o honour_n i_o think_v i_o hear_v faith_n rachel_n like_a cry_v out_o give_v i_o child_n or_o else_o i_o die_v o_o how_o lovely_a a_o sight_n it_o be_v to_o see_v the_o vine_n of_o faith_n lade_v with_o the_o cluster_n of_o good_a work_n 3._o consider_v that_o whatsoever_o you_o do_v to_o any_o of_o christ_n poor_a member_n he_o look_v upon_o it_o as_o do_v to_o himself_o and_o i_o

christ_n give_v we_o all_o and_o i_o think_v we_o shall_v by_o way_n of_o gratitude_n give_v he_o somewhat_o again_o 4._o consider_v that_o that_o which_o be_v give_v to_o the_o poor_a be_v a_o mean_n
