of_o heaven_n be_v and_o the_o display_v of_o our_o love_n must_v reach_v like_o those_o of_o the_o sun_n in_o the_o firmament_n to_o the_o just_a and_o the_o unjust_a for_o we_o be_v all_o brethren_n

as_o great_a a_o adversary_n to_o we_o as_o a_o jew_n to_o a_o samaritan_n must_v yet_o be_v look_v upon_o as_o the_o object_n of_o our_o compassion_n and_o mercy_n and_o of_o any_o charitable_a act_n which_o he_o can_v receive_v and_o we_o perform_v iii_o the_o three_o thing_n to_o be_v observe_v be_v the_o proper_a time_n of_o perform_v this_o duty_n which_o be_v when_o and_o while_o we_o have_v opportunity_n for_o though_o to_o do_v good_a to_o all_o man_n be_v a_o duty_n incumbent_n upon_o we_o yet_o we_o be_v not_o at_o all_o time_n equal_o oblige_v to_o the_o exercise_n of_o it_o the_o cry_n of_o some_o that_o want_v never_o come_v to_o our_o ear_n and_o the_o necessity_n of_o other_o may_v be_v so_o great_a that_o we_o be_v not_o able_a to_o relieve_v they_o no_o man_n can_v be_v

after_o their_o death_n 2._o that_o man_n of_o ability_n be_v in_o duty_n oblige_v to_o do_v good_a while_o they_o live_v 3._o i_o shall_v speak_v of_o the_o peculiar_a excellency_n and_o usefulness_n of_o those_o charitable_a settlement_n which_o be_v design_v to_o promote_v and_o encourage_v learning_n 4._o and_o last_o i_o shall_v inquire_v what_o be_v the_o duty_n of_o all_o those_o who_o
