he_o that_o be_v barren_a in_o good_a work_n and_o yet_o bear_v high_a and_o broad_a the_o sail_n of_o profession_n seem_v to_o be_v afraid_a lest_o the_o world_n shall_v not_o take_v notice_n of_o he_o for_o a_o hypocrite_n good_a work_n likewise_o without_o a_o knowledge_n and_o profession_n of_o christian_a religion_n peccain_n splendida_fw-la peccain_n be_v no_o better_o than_o glorious_a

dorcas_n of_o our_o day_n first_o in_o general_n full_a of_o good_a work_n than_o more_o particular_o and_o almsdeed_n which_o she_o do_v in_o general_n she_o be_v full_a of_o good_a work_n when_o it_o be_v say_v that_o dorcas_n be_v full_a of_o good_a work_n it_o be_v not_o mean_v that_o she_o be_v perfect_a 2._o 3_o jam._n 2._o for_o in_o many_o thing_n we_o offend_v all_o and_o every_o sin_n be_v a_o defect_n much_o less_o may_v we_o think_v that_o she_o do_v work_n of_o supererrogation_n they_o be_v super-arrogant_a that_o think_v themselves_o righteous_a above_o the_o rule_n as_o full_a as_o dorcas_n be_v i_o dare_v say_v for_o her_o bless_a soul_n that_o she_o think_v herself_o empty_a and_o barren_a ear_n that_o be_v most_o lade_v with_o corn_n hang_v low_a down_n to_o the_o

abundant_a in_o good_a work_n as_o when_o it_o be_v say_v 25_o 2_o chro._n 24_o 25_o that_o jehojada_n wax_v old_a and_o be_v full_a of_o day_n the_o meaning_n be_v he_o grow_v very_o old_a and_o when_o it_o be_v say_v of_o wicked_a worldly_a man_n that_o they_o be_v full_a of_o child_n 17_o psal_n 14._o the_o meaning_n be_v they_o have_v many_o child_n so_o dorcas_n be_v full_a of_o good_a work_n that_o be_v she_o be_v a_o very_a good_a woman_n and_o do_v abound_v in_o good_a work_n to_o be_v full_a of_o good_a work_n be_v as_o much_o as_o to_o be_v fruitful_a dorcas_n her_o good_a work_n be_v not_o few_o as_o the_o glean_v grape_n 13._o 24_o isa_n 13._o when_o the_o vintage_n be_v do_v or_o as_o the_o shake_n of_o a_o olive_n tree_n two_o or_o three_o berry_n in_o the_o top_n of_o the_o uttermost_a bough_n four_o or_o five_o in_o the_o most_o fruitful_a branch_n thereof_o 5_o 17_o isa_n 5_o but_o she_o be_v full_a of_o good_a work_n like_o the_o vine_n before_o it_o be_v gather_v and_o the_o olive_n tree_n before_o it_o be_v shake_v 2._o she_o be_v full_a of_o good_a work_n that_o be_v she_o do_v not_o only_o abound_v but_o in_o some_o sort_n superabound_a consider_v her_o condition_n she_o do_v very_o many_o good_a work_n even_o beyond_o the_o expectation_n of_o those_o that_o know_v she_o when_o they_o compare_v what_o she_o do_v as_o they_o imagine_v with_o what_o she_o have_v they_o will_v not_o have_v think_v that_o she_o have_v so_o rich_a a_o treasury_n that_o will_v have_v furnish_v she_o to_o expend_v so_o liberal_o they_o can_v not_o but_o think_v that_o her_o fullness_n of_o good_a work_n abroad_o will_v bring_v she_o to_o want_v at_o home_n yet_o so_o it_o be_v she_o do_v many_o good_a work_n nor_o do_v they_o draw_v her_o dry_a but_o some_o way_n or_o other_o she_o be_v supply_v that_o she_o still_o do_v more_o it_o be_v very_o probable_a that_o dorcas_n be_v not_o a_o woman_n of_o great_a worldly_a estate_n and_o if_o she_o have_v not_o be_v notable_a for_o her_o good_a work_n she_o may_v in_o other_o respect_n have_v live_v obscure_o enough_o but_o whatever_o her_o estate_n be_v she_o have_v a_o free_a heart_n and_o do_v not_o for_o fear_n of_o want_v herself_o hold_v back_o her_o hand_n from_o supply_v the_o necessity_n of_o other_o the_o widow_n that_o cast_v she_o two_o mite_n into_o the_o treasury_n be_v say_v to_o have_v cast_v in_o more_o than_o they_o that_o cast_v in_o great_a gift_n 3._o 21_o luk._n 1_o 2_o 3._o because_o what_o they_o give_v be_v out_o of_o their_o abundance_n but_o she_o cast_v in_o all_o that_o she_o have_v so_o dorcas_n be_v full_a of_o good_a work_n that_o be_v she_o do_v abound_v yea_o she_o do_v superabound_a compare_v her_o ability_n with_o her_o expense_n she_o do_v more_o than_o she_o be_v suppose_v able_a to_o do_v 3._o she_o be_v full_a of_o good_a work_n that_o be_v her_o work_n be_v not_o only_o abound_v but_o abide_v she_o do_v not_o satisfy_v herself_o with_o what_o good_a she_o have_v do_v 6._o 3_o phil._n 13.11_o eccles_n 6._o but_o still_o she_o do_v more_o with_o the_o apostle_n she_o forget_v that_o which_o be_v behind_o and_o though_o she_o have_v do_v very_o much_o good_a yet_o still_o she_o withhold_v not_o her_o hand_n according_a to_o the_o injunction_n 6_o gal._n 9_o 10._o let_v we_o not_o be_v weary_a in_o welldoing_a for_o in_o due_a season_n we_o shall_v reap_v if_o we_o faint_v not_o as_o we_o have_v therefore_o opportunity_n let_v we_o do_v good_a out_o of_o the_o good_a treasure_n of_o her_o heart_n she_o be_v still_o bring_v forth_o good_a thing_n 35_o 12_o math._n 35_o she_o be_v like_o the_o orange-tree_n of_o which_o they_o write_v that_o it_o be_v bring_v forth_o fruit_n all_o the_o year_n long_o as_o some_o be_v ripe_a so_o other_o be_v still_o bud_v and_o as_o it_o be_v say_v of_o the_o church_n of_o thyatira_n 19_o 2_o rev._n 19_o her_o work_n be_v more_o at_o the_o last_o than_o at_o the_o first_o hereby_o she_o make_v it_o appear_v that_o she_o be_v no_o hypocrite_n who_o be_v move_v by_o a_o external_a principle_n and_o do_v his_o good_a work_n only_o for_o particular_a end_n and_o therefore_o continue_v not_o always_o to_o do_v good_a but_o she_o be_v a_o sincere_a christian_n who_o good_a work_n flow_v from_o a_o inward_a principle_n of_o grace_n and_o be_v direct_v to_o a_o universal_a end_n god_n glory_n so_o then_o dorcas_n be_v full_a of_o good_a work_n that_o be_v she_o do_v very_o much_o good_a more_o than_o can_v be_v expect_v from_o such_o a_o woman_n and_o thus_o she_o continue_v to_o her_o death_n 46._o 24_o mat._n 46._o and_o so_o be_v one_o of_o those_o bless_a servant_n who_o her_o lord_n when_o he_o come_v sound_a well-doing_n good_a work_n be_v sometime_o strict_o take_v for_o work_n of_o
