want_n have_v the_o lord_n jesus_n in_o thy_o eye_n regard_v not_o so_o much_o the_o poor_a man_n nature_n because_o he_o be_v of_o the_o same_o flesh_n with_o thou_o nor_o so_o much_o his_o

because_o he_o profess_v the_o same_o faith_n with_o thou_o nor_o so_o much_o his_o person_n because_o he_o be_v a_o gentleman_n nor_o so_o much_o his_o readiness_n to_o extol_v thy_o bounty_n as_o the_o love_n and_o charity_n of_o the_o holy_a jesus_n to_o thy_o soul_n and_o body_n have_v that_o in_o thy_o eye_n chief_o when_o thou_o open_v thy_o hand_n let_v he_o be_v in_o thy_o mind_n when_o thou_o distribute_a thy_o bounty_n this_o make_v thy_o charity_n amiable_a and_o acceptable_a and_o fit_a to_o be_v proclaim_v and_o commend_v in_o this_o day_n and_o indeed_o how_o do_v thou_o know_v christian_n but_o that_o thy_o saviour_n may_v sometime_o disguise_v himself_o and_o appear_v to_o thou_o in_o the_o shape_n of_o a_o poor_a man_n and_o will_v not_o thou_o give_v free_o will_v not_o

be_v in_o the_o last_o day_n to_o hear_v he_o say_v before_o the_o world_n i_o be_v naked_a and_o this_o good_a man_n clothe_v i_o i_o be_v in_o prison_n and_o he_o visit_v i_o the_o three_o angel_n of_o old_a disguise_v themselves_o in_o the_o shape_n of_o traveller_n to_o try_v abraham_n hospitality_n and_o from_o hence_o possible_o come_v the_o heathenish_a fable_n that_o their_o jupiter_n

to_o believe_v that_o christ_n do_v actual_o disguise_v himself_o to_o we_o in_o such_o shape_n and_o appear_v to_o we_o to_o try_v our_o charity_n yet_o it_o be_v no_o impossible_a thing_n and_o we_o
