We see a reason why they have no peace in their Consciences Isa 57.20 21. How can they when it shall go so ill with them at that day 3. We see how loathsome that sin should be to us and how fearful we should be to fall into it 4. We see what severity they must look for that take away meat from the hungry and drink from the thirsty 5. We see that unmerciful men shall not want Witnesses to ●ome in against them rather then so the hungry Bellies and thirsty Throats of the Saints shall bring in Evidence against them as Jam. 5.1 3. 6. We see what desperate adventures wicked men will make for the saving of a little meat and drink 7. We see that unmercifulness though it be not known to men yet it is to the Lord and he will one day reckon for it 8. We see the truth of that in Prov. 11.17 The merciful man doth good to his own soul but he that is cruel troubleth his own flesh 9. We see how exceedingly the Lord abhors a covetous unmerciful spirit Psal 10.3 10. We see how tenderly careful the Lord is of the Bodies and lives of his Saints that will charge it so home to them at that day that have not fed them 11. We see how terrible he will be to those that have been unmerciful to their Souls Ezek. 34. 12. We see a reason why Satan puts men upon it to be unmerciful he knows they shall pay dear for it Vse 2. for Terrour 1. To all those that give no meat to the hungry nor drink to the thirsty 2. To those that violently snatch it from them 3. To those that give not the food of their Souls to them 4. To those that hunt them and persecute them when they seek meat to relieve their Souls 5. To those that kill them John 16.1 2. Vse 3 for Exhortation 1. To fear to be of an unmerciful spirit to hungry and thirsty ones 2. To reprove it in others where we see it as we have any opportunity 3. To be often thinking of the Judgement to come especially when any such objects as hungry and thirsty ones are before us 4. To bless the Lord if he have kept us from this sin which will be charged so home another day 5. To detest their way that kill and murther the Saints 6. To mourn for them that are cruel to the Saints Souls Jerem. 23.1 2. 7. To tremble when the Lord threatens a Famine of Bread for our Souls Amos 8.11 12 13. 8. To be merciful Luke 6.36 and love mercy Micah 6.8 9. To break the Bread of Life to hungry ones 2 Tim. 4.1 2. John 21.15 16 17. 10.

Against all Romes Cruelty Rev. 18.24 it will be required one day 3. Against the Saints hungry bellies here they need not be too much troubled for they that have been unmerciful to them shall be charged with it at the last day Ver. 43. I was a stranger and ye took me not in The Second Branch of the XXXVI Doct. is this That unmercifulness to the Saints when Strangers in not g●veing lodging and entertainment to them shall be charged deeply upon the Wicked at the day of Judgement Reas 1. From the nature of this sin of non Entertainment 2. From the Saints that are in this condition 3. The Uses From the nature of this sin 1. It is want of Humanity such men do un-Man themselves forget that they are men now to be without Humanity so far to degenerate as to loss the nature of man must needs be deeply charged upon men at that day 2. It is want of natural affection which is an Heathenish sin Rom. 1.31 and that is very unbeseeming Christianity 3. It is a manifest breach of Rule 1 Pet. 4.9 Heb. 13.2 and how then should it be otherwise but that it should be charged home upon those that are guilty of it 4. It is that that they would be unwilling should be done to them and to do that to others that men would be loth should be done to themselves is to despise the Law and the Prophets and the Law of Christ himself Mat. 7.12 Jam. 2.8 5. It is great cruelty and argues much hard-heartedness Judg. 19.18 19. and will not the Lord be severe to such and reckon sore with cruel ones 6. It comes cross to the practise of holy men Abraham Lot that good old man Judg. 19.20 21. Lydia Act. 16.15 Job chap. 31 32. and many others 7. It is worse then Barbarism Act. 28.2 7 10. 8. It is that that is very provoking to the spirits of good men Luke 9.51 52 53 54. and though they were too hot which Christ rebukes them for yet the sin was great and very provoking although the sweet disposition of Christ would not then punish it 9. It is a confluence of many sins and the very sink that they come from and run into Pride Covetousness Carelesness Senslesness of others conditions Barrenness Uncharitableness Unbeleif and these the Lord abhors 10. It is the highest degree of ingratitude to Christ for his bounty in outward things bestowed upon them 2. From the Saints in this condition 1. They are very precious in the sight of the Lord Heb. 11.38 and not to entertain such must needs be that that will be deeply charged upon men at that day 2. They are in great danger of loss of health and life in such a condition and therefore not to be received then must needs provoke the Lord to lay his charge heavy upon such as have been this way guitty at that day 3. They are such as Christ has received to be of his houshold Ephes 2.19 and made of the houshold of Faith Gal. 6.10 and not to receive such to these mens houses must needs be very provoking 4. They are such as Christ will receive to himselfe into mansions of gl●ry John 14.2 3. 5. They are such as bring God the Father and Christ Jesus the Son and the holy Spirit with them 1 John 1.3 and not to entertain such is to shut out these blessed guests and who can be innocent that doth this Christ will surely charge it home and home upon them at that day 6. They have the Holy Angels their guardians with them Psal 34.7 Heb. 1.11 and not to entertain such company cannot be taken well at that day 7. They are heirs of the World and all things are theirs in Christ 1 Cor. 3.21 22 23. and therefore to deny them a little entertainment will be heavily charged at that day 8. They are the very
