which_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n act_n in_o the_o heart_n and_o soul_n of_o all_o his_o child_n so_o that_o be_v one_o reason_n why_o the_o apostle_n bid_v that_o this_o gather_v shall_v be_v on_o

upon_o that_o day_n upon_o that_o day_n the_o root_n of_o life_n rise_v the_o lord_n jesus_n who_o rise_v again_o from_o the_o dead_a have_v open_v to_o we_o a_o certain_a gap_n and_o hope_v of_o

wherein_o god_n be_v most_o abundant_a in_o mercy_n to_o we_o that_o then_o we_o shall_v return_v somewhat_o back_o again_o some_o small_a widow_n mite_n some_o little_a portion_n to_o god_n child_n for_o all_o those_o infinite_a treasure_n we_o have_v receive_v for_o this_o be_v all_o that_o god_n require_v that_o we_o shall_v give_v but_o something_o of_o his_o own_o of_o some_o but_o the_o

the_o apostle_n will_v have_v this_o collection_n be_v upon_o the_o sunday_n wherein_o the_o memory_n of_o all_o the_o blessing_n of_o god_n upon_o body_n and_o soul_n be_v the_o goodly_a in_o every_o

day_n the_o exercise_n of_o the_o day_n because_o upon_o that_o day_n the_o public_a meeting_n be_v make_v where_o there_o be_v prophesy_v and_o preach_v and_o pray_v and_o sing_v of_o psalm_n and_o holy_a revelation_n and_o instruction_n from_o heaven_n all_o which_o be_v as_o fire_v to_o kindle_v the_o zeal_n of_o a_o man_n to_o be_v for_o god_n and_o for_o his_o brethren_n and_o to_o join_v together_o the_o member_n of_o the_o lord_n jesus_n in_o a_o firm_a conjunction_n than_o any_o other_o society_n in_o the_o world_n if_o a_o man_n love_v a_o man_n abroad_o in_o the_o market_n he_o will_v love_v he_o ten_o time_n better_o in_o the_o church_n if_o there_o be_v any_o piety_n or_o any_o coal_n of_o love_n to_o kindle_v his_o affection_n elsewhere_o it_o will_v be_v much_o more_o in_o the_o church_n where_o every_o word_n of_o god_n every_o sermon_n every_o prayer_n every_o thanksgiving_n every_o psalm_n that_o be_v sing_v bring_v some_o fuel_n to_o that_o heavenly_a flame_n therefore_o for_o this_o cause_n the_o apostle_n choose_v that_o time_n as_o be_v the_o most_o select_a and_o choice_n opportunity_n for_o the_o confer_v of_o that_o which_o god_n have_v bless_v they_o withal_o upon_o the_o first_o day_n of_o the_o week_n that_o be_v upon_o the_o lord_n day_n receive_v 4_o reason_n the_o sacrament_n be_v the_o n_z receive_v and_o last_o because_o that_o upon_o that_o day_n the_o church_n be_v always_o wont_a to_o receive_v the_o sacrament_n of_o the_o lord_n supper_n it_o be_v not_o with_o they_o then_o as_o it_o be_v with_o we_o now_o man_n will_v receive_v it_o when_o they_o listen_v but_o every_o sunday_n be_v with_o they_o a_o sacrament_n day_n and_o oft_o time_n every_o day_n in_o the_o week_n but_o on_o the_o lord_n day_n they_o never_o fail_v therefore_o as_o a_o testimony_n of_o their_o thankfulness_n to_o god_n for_o the_o benefit_n of_o the_o body_n and_o blood_n of_o christ_n which_o be_v offer_v on_o the_o cross_n as_o a_o ransom_n and_o propitiation_n for_o all_o their_o sin_n they_o think_v they_o be_v bind_v in_o conscience_n and_o they_o be_v easy_o induce_v and_o persuade_v upon_o the_o receive_n of_o the_o sacrament_n to_o give_v something_o to_o the_o sacred_a and_o holy_a saint_n that_o belong_v unto_o the_o lord_n and_o so_o indeed_o after_o our_o sacrament_n we_o have_v still_o a_o collection_n in_o remembrance_n of_o that_o there_o it_o be_v according_a to_o the_o greatness_n of_o their_o spirit_n and_o the_o greatness_n of_o their_o mean_n which_o be_v supereminent_a we_o be_v accord_a to_o our_o poor_a mean_n and_o measure_n and_o according_a to_o the_o scantinesse_n of_o our_o affection_n which_o be_v every_o day_n cold_a than_o other_o for_o these_o reason_n the_o apostle_n require_v that_o these_o thing_n shall_v be_v do_v and_o lay_v up_o upon_o the_o sabbath_n day_n for_o than_o man_n be_v best_a affect_v of_o all_o time_n if_o ever_o a_o man_n will_v give_v any_o thing_n he_o will_v give_v it_o then_o when_o he_o be_v at_o rest_n for_o god_n and_o when_o he_o be_v express_v his_o thankfulness_n to_o god_n for_o the_o great_a mercy_n that_o he_o have_v pour_v upon_o he_o in_o all_o the_o course_n of_o his_o life_n then_o he_o hear_v the_o word_n that_o stir_v he_o up_o to_o good_a action_n then_o he_o join_v in_o prayer_n with_o the_o church_n of_o god_n then_o he_o understand_v that_o god_n have_v not_o spare_v the_o precious_a blood_n of_o christ_n much_o less_o therefore_o shall_v he_o spare_v a_o penny_n a_o small_a thing_n to_o give_v for_o his_o sake_n that_o have_v give_v his_o blood_n for_o his_o redemption_n thus_o we_o see_v great_a reason_n why_o the_o apostle_n appoint_v the_o collection_n to_o be_v make_v at_o this_o time_n it_o be_v true_a the_o collection_n for_o the_o saint_n be_v due_a and_o seasonable_a at_o all_o time_n but_o especial_o when_o there_o be_v the_o fair_a and_o goodly_a opportunity_n and_o than_o it_o be_v likely_a to_o prove_v best_a when_o there_o be_v the_o strong_a motive_n to_o work_v man_n unto_o it_o upon_o the_o first_o of_o the_o week_n but_o now_o we_o must_v launch_v into_o a_o great_a sea_n to_o prove_v this_o doctrine_n which_o i_o need_v not_o do_v for_o man_n that_o be_v settle_v but_o because_o these_o last_o time_n afford_v a_o number_n of_o monstrous_a doctrine_n and_o this_o city_n especial_o be_v plague_v with_o those_o jewish_a sabbatarian_n that_o will_v still_o retain_v the_o jewish_a sabbath_n and_o can_v very_o hardly_o be_v draw_v from_o it_o but_o in_o their_o conventicle_n they_o draw_v away_o god_n child_n and_o trouble_v they_o that_o be_v not_o able_a to_o give_v a_o reason_n of_o their_o faith_n let_v we_o therefore_o a_o little_a search_n into_o this_o
to_o show_v that_o man_n shall_v be_v ready_a and_o willing_a to_o run_v to_o do_v good_a thing_n this_o do_v great_o condemn_v our_o backwardness_n although_o i_o need_v not_o speak_v it_o comparative_o for_o perhaps_o there_o be_v not_o any_o church_n in_o the_o world_n comparative_o that_o be_v more_o famous_a in_o good_a deed_n and_o charitable_a alm_n than_o this_o be_v yet_o notwithstanding_o when_o man_n come_v to_o some_o special_a action_n they_o be_v marvellous_a slack_a and_o unready_a and_o they_o be_v hardly_o draw_v it_o be_v say_v in_o the_o record_n of_o the_o church_n that_o when_o the_o statute_n for_o the_o poor_a come_v out_o first_o when_o it_o be_v first_o make_v a_o statute_n law_n the_o devout_a man_n there_o bless_v themselves_o and_o smite_v their_o breast_n and_o wonder_v that_o there_o shall_v come_v such_o a_o coldness_n of_o charity_n that_o man_n which_o before_o time_n have_v be_v ready_a and_o pliable_a shall_v be_v force_v unto_o it_o now_o by_o the_o law_n but_o we_o see_v every_o day_n there_o be_v a_o necessity_n of_o a_o law_n for_o it_o and_o there_o shall_v be_v every_o day_n more_o need_n we_o must_v be_v constrain_v to_o do_v that_o good_a that_o we_o shall_v do_v out_o of_o the_o bowel_n of_o mercy_n which_o shall_v be_v in_o we_o we_o shall_v do_v it_o from_o the_o influence_n of_o the_o grace_n of_o god_n to_o we_o in_o christ_n we_o shall_v do_v it_o as_o fellow_n member_n we_o shall_v love_v our_o own_o flesh_n we_o shall_v do_v it_o as_o though_o we_o our_o self_n be_v pinch_v with_o the_o infirmity_n of_o other_o man_n we_o shall_v give_v poor_a man_n that_o which_o we_o can_v spare_v as_o free_o as_o we_o give_v they_o our_o look_n as_o free_o as_o we_o give_v they_o the_o gesture_n of_o our_o

hardly_o off_o it_o stick_v with_o we_o but_o the_o holy_a apostle_n tell_v we_o there_o be_v a_o shame_n in_o this_o when_o man_n be_v so_o backward_o although_o they_o do_v good_a deed_n yet_o when_o they_o do_v they_o not_o in_o the_o firstnesse_n of_o time_n and_o when_o they_o do_v not_o go_v through_o they_o with_o chearfulnesse_n they_o show_v themselves_o to_o be_v fall_v back_o in_o their_o love_n to_o christ_n and_o to_o his_o member_n but_o i_o need_v not_o insist_v much_o upon_o this_o in_o this_o congregation_n which_o have_v always_o be_v ready_a in_o these_o matter_n and_o in_o this_o city_n the_o bowel_n of_o the_o saint_n and_o their_o necessity_n find_v such_o relief_n that_o it_o give_v occasion_n to_o a_o company_n of_o wander_a folk_n to_o put_v they_o oft_o time_n to_o great_a and_o transcendent_a and_o excessive_a collection_n whereof_o i_o will_v have_v charity_n to_o be_v a_o little_a rich_a but_o when_o these_o thing_n come_v that_o be_v of_o

be_v in_o great_a lack_n and_o scarcity_n of_o victual_n and_o he_o be_v ready_a to_o embark_v in_o a_o tempestuous_a sea_n in_o a_o dangerous_a weather_n his_o friend_n counsel_v he_o by_o all_o mean_n to_o look_v to_o his_o life_n and_o not_o to_o expose_v himself_o to_o the_o peril_n of_o the_o sea_n at_o that_o time_n he_o answer_v they_o very_o valorous_o again_o that_o he_o must_v

of_o the_o safety_n of_o those_o life_n that_o he_o have_v at_o rome_n which_o be_v to_o be_v sustain_v so_o the_o apostle_n set_v this_o forward_a with_o all_o his_o diligence_n there_o must_v be_v a_o collection_n make_v for_o the_o saint_n at_o jerusalem_n and_o it_o must_v be_v do_v quick_o with_o great_a zeal_n and_o devotion_n and_o therefore_o he_o offer_v himself_o to_o the_o action_n if_o need_v so_o require_v the_o way_n be_v long_o from_o corinth_n to_o jerusalem_n they_o be_v about_o nine_o hundred_o or_o a_o thousand_o mile_n distant_a in_o which_o way_n many_o great_a

that_o the_o business_n may_v be_v fair_o carry_v that_o it_o may_v have_v good_a success_n and_o because_o the_o blessing_n of_o god_n go_v with_o he_o wheresoever_o he_o go_v and_o he_o make_v no_o

to_o be_v send_v in_o ambassage_n and_o legacy_n about_o it_o that_o then_o he_o will_v go_v and_o he_o will_v give_v a_o kind_n of_o security_n to_o it_o for_o indeed_o as_o yet_o although_o it_o be_v a_o great_a treasure_n that_o be_v gather_v at_o corinth_n yet_o the_o apostle_n know_v it_o not_o for_o he_o now_o write_v but_o for_o the_o gather_n of_o it_o but_o afterward_o in_o his_o

because_o the_o charge_n be_v great_a he_o promise_v that_o if_o need_v require_v that_o his_o person_n shall_v be_v there_o he_o will_v go_v with_o they_o and_o will_v see_v the_o whole_a business_n

that_o wondrous_a and_o unwearied_a peregrination_n which_o he_o make_v in_o the_o world_n for_o he_o go_v from_o place_n to_o place_n and_o still_o be_v win_v country_n to_o the_o obedience_n and_o

what_o than_o the_o preach_n of_o the_o gospel_n be_v not_o that_o the_o great_a part_n that_o belong_v to_o his_o function_n quest_n why_o then_o shall_v he_o leave_v that_o see_v it_o be_v contrary_a to_o the_o rule_n that_o the_o apostle_n themselves_o give_v act._n 6.2_o where_o there_o be_v a_o mutiny_n among_o the_o greek_n and_o the_o hebrew_n because_o there_o be_v a_o neglect_n of_o their_o woman_n in_o the_o common_a ministration_n and_o the_o apostle_n to_o prevent_v such_o a_o mischief_n which_o be_v now_o grow_v among_o they_o and_o to_o take_v away_o the_o viper_n of_o

that_o be_v to_o carry_v the_o money_n that_o be_v gather_v at_o corinth_n to_o jerusalem_n which_o in_o effect_n be_v nothing_o else_o but_o to_o serve_v table_n this_o therefore_o have_v be_v a_o

long_o as_o the_o church_n of_o god_n suffer_v no_o detriment_n by_o a_o man_n absence_n no_o notable_a detriment_n and_o so_o long_o as_o it_o be_v otherwise_o well_o provide_v and_o so_o long_o as_o

themselves_o be_v bind_v to_o intend_v the_o work_n of_o mercy_n and_o to_o serve_v table_n it_o be_v true_a the_o apostle_n be_v not_o to_o leave_v the_o gospel_n and_o to_o serve_v table_n because_o the_o great_a work_n must_v be_v first_o intend_v except_o there_o be_v present_a necessity_n but_o in_o the_o second_o place_n he_o ought_v to_o intend_v that_o and_o if_o so_o be_v they_o can_v be_v join_v both_o together_o the_o preach_n of_o the_o word_n and_o the_o serve_v of_o table_n as_o saint_n paul_n do_v in_o this_o action_n for_o it_o be_v manifest_a they_o do_v concur_v together_o both_o if_o a_o man_n can_v do_v thus_o it_o make_v a_o more_o grateful_a smell_n in_o the_o nostril_n of_o god_n as_o saint_n austin_n say_v that_o he_o do_v not_o take_v account_n and_o reckon_n because_o he_o bend_v his_o study_n to_o answer_v heretic_n he_o carry_v no_o key_n nor_o ring_n to_o seal_v daily_a matter_n and_o every_o commodity_n of_o victual_n in_o his_o house_n which_o they_o

whether_o a_o man_n shall_v insist_v upon_o they_o or_o no_o it_o may_v be_v a_o matter_n of_o disputation_n because_o the_o common_a people_n think_v that_o nothing_o be_v fit_a to_o be_v speak_v
