artificial_o conclude_v from_o hence_o that_o every_o man_n be_v to_o be_v treat_v as_o a_o neighbour_n 50.26_o eccl._n 50.26_o for_o if_o he_o have_v demand_v direct_o whether_o a_o samaritan_n schismatic_a one_o of_o that_o foolish_a people_n dwell_v in_o sichem_n be_v comprehend_v within_o the_o verge_n of_o the_o precept_n of_o love_n the_o lawyer_n will_v certain_o have_v answer_v in_o the_o negative_a but_o when_o he_o rehearse_v the_o kindness_n of_o a_o samaritan_n towards_o a_o jew_n this_o a_o jewish_a zealot_n can_v not_o disapprove_v of_o and_o by_o this_o circumlocution_n christ_n bring_v he_o to_o confess_v that_o the_o samaritan_n be_v neighbour_n unto_o he_o that_o fall_v among_o the_o thief_n but_o if_o a_o samaritan_n be_v neighbour_n to_o a_o jew_n and_o aught_o to_o love_v he_o as_o such_o and_o particular_o to_o relieve_v he_o in_o distress_n why_o shall_v not_o a_o jew_n be_v a_o neighbour_n to_o a_o samaritan_n and_o according_o our_o saviour_n subjoin_v go_v and_o do_v thou_o likewise_o that_o be_v i_o approve_v of_o your_o answer_n the_o samaritan_n be_v real_o such_o a_o neighbour_n as_o the_o law_n require_v and_o after_o his_o example_n you_o be_v to_o look_v upon_o every_o person_n that_o want_v relief_n though_o he_o be_v upon_o term_n of_o separation_n and_o enmity_n towards_o you_o as_o a_o fit_a object_n of_o your_o compassion_n and_o mercy_n iii_o in_o prosecute_a the_o case_n of_o this_o good_a samaritan_n as_o it_o be_v recommend_v by_o christ_n to_o our_o imitation_n i_o shall_v only_o desire_v you_o to_o consider_v these_o two_o head_n first_o the_o act_n of_o mercy_n exhibit_v to_o one_o in_o distress_n and_o second_o the_o peculiar_a circumstance_n of_o the_o object_n that_o be_v relieve_v i_o begin_v with_o the_o first_o point_n the_o act_n of_o mercy_n towards_o one_o in_o distress_n and_o since_o it_o be_v say_v to_o every_o one_o of_o we_o go_v and_o do_v thou_o as_o the_o good_a samaritan_n do_v i_o shall_v offer_v some_o consideration_n for_o the_o clear_a enforcement_n of_o this_o duty_n the_o first_o of_o they_o be_v that_o the_o principle_n of_o natural_a religion_n oblige_v we_o to_o the_o succour_v of_o those_o that_o be_v in_o misery_n for_o it_o suppose_v a_o general_a cognation_n between_o all_o man_n and_o engage_v we_o in_o a_o reciprocal_a amity_n towards_o one_o another_o and_o though_o by_o prohibit_v rapine_n and_o invasion_n it_o secure_v every_o man_n in_o his_o property_n and_o possession_n yet_o it_o require_v we_o to_o spare_v so_o much_o out_o of_o our_o abundance_n as_o be_v needful_a for_o the_o cherish_n of_o those_o that_o be_v overtake_v by_o calamity_n and_o when_o the_o indigent_a and_o afflict_v be_v lay_v in_o our_o way_n we_o can_v pass_v by_o they_o careless_o and_o unconcerned_o without_o struggle_v against_o our_o own_o conscience_n and_o cast_v a_o reproach_n upon_o the_o dignity_n of_o our_o nature_n there_o be_v a_o softness_n and_o tenderness_n interweave_v in_o our_o frames_n which_o man_n can_v easy_o wear_v out_o till_o they_o have_v transform_v themselves_o into_o creature_n more_o savage_a than_o the_o beast_n of_o the_o wilderness_n and_o have_v deface_v those_o impression_n of_o virtue_n which_o be_v plant_v in_o their_o mind_n and_o then_o indeed_o we_o see_v by_o experience_n that_o by_o lewdness_n and_o profane_a course_n they_o learn_v to_o be_v cruel_a and_o insolent_a and_o unmerciful_a but_o this_o be_v a_o violence_n upon_o our_o own_o constitution_n and_o a_o brutality_n that_o destroy_v the_o image_n of_o god_n after_o which_o we_o be_v create_v and_o man_n lose_v himself_o when_o he_o put_v off_o the_o bowel_n of_o compassion_n for_o where_o humane_a nature_n be_v untainted_a it_o incline_v to_o mercy_n and_o lenity_n and_o the_o best_a disposition_n and_o pure_a soul_n be_v always_o most_o communicative_a of_o what_o be_v good_a and_o most_o averse_a to_o rigour_n and_o infliction_n which_o
