construction_n in_o a_o word_n it_o be_v a_o generosity_n of_o temper_n that_o be_v apt_a to_o suit_n itself_o to_o the_o condition_n of_o other_o according_a to_o the_o move_a nature_n of_o their_o

our_o charity_n to_o other_o must_v be_v of_o the_o same_o nature_n with_o the_o affection_n we_o have_v for_o ourselves_o this_o be_v the_o true_a rule_n of_o charity_n especial_o as_o it_o be_v

himself_o all_o that_o be_v good_a and_o desirable_a in_o this_o world_n begrudge_v his_o neighbour_n any_o considerable_a share_n or_o proportion_n of_o it_o now_o this_o be_v so_o far_o from_o be_v

to_o be_v sure_a there_o be_v no_o flattery_n no_o pretence_n no_o compliment_n in_o this_o case_n our_o affection_n may_v be_v believe_v and_o trust_v when_o they_o speak_v favourable_o on_o our_o

of_o charity_n yet_o and_o that_o be_v to_o love_v one_o another_o as_o the_o lord_n jesus_n himself_o have_v love_v we_o because_o the_o love_n even_o of_o one_o self_n may_v be_v defective_a

most_o amaze_a expression_n of_o christ_n love_n that_o he_o undertake_v the_o great_a work_n of_o redeem_v a_o profligate_n world_n wretched_a creature_n that_o have_v bid_v god_n defiance_n that_o

let_v not_o he_o that_o eat_v not_o judge_v he_o that_o eat_v yet_o the_o apostle_n seem_v most_o incline_v as_o charitable_a man_n be_v apt_a to_o be_v to_o the_o weak_a side_n and_o that_o charity_n may_v have_v the_o cast_a hand_n in_o the_o whole_a controversy_n he_o direct_v those_o who_o be_v thorough_o instruct_v not_o to_o use_v their_o full_a lawful_a liberty_n in_o the_o presence_n of_o

those_o proselyte_n who_o have_v be_v bring_v over_o to_o christianity_n from_o heathenism_n whereas_o there_o be_v a_o old_a general_n custom_n among_o the_o heathen_n to_o eat_v part_n of_o those_o sacrifice_n which_o have_v be_v offer_v to_o their_o suppose_a deity_n many_o of_o they_o though_o they_o have_v receive_v the_o christian_a faith_n continue_v this_o custom_n nevertheless_o believe_v still_o that_o the_o thing_n they_o worship_v be_v real_a being_n and_o that_o they_o themselves_o be_v better_a by_o much_o for_o partake_v of_o those_o their_o sacrifice_n other_o know_v that_o these_o be_v gross_o mistake_v and_o be_v convince_v that_o those_o idol_n be_v nothing_o but_o fictitious_a and_o imaginary_a deity_n however_o these_o too_o resort_v to_o the_o idol-feast_n for_o compliance-sake_n yet_o believe_v they_o not_o to_o be_v religious_a but_o ordinary_a friendly_a meal_n now_o this_o be_v a_o very_a shameful_a and_o evil_a practice_n for_o though_o the_o eat_n of_o those_o meat_n abstract_o and_o simple_o consider_v be_v a_o thing_n indifferent_a yet_o the_o scandal_n it_o give_v make_v it_o utter_o unlawful_a because_o it_o be_v a_o violation_n of_o charity_n it_o confirm_a other_o in_o their_o old_a heathenish_a opinion_n and_o encourage_v they_o to_o go_v on_o still_o in_o their_o old_a heathenish_a sinful_a course_n to_o rectify_v this_o matter_n therefore_o st._n paul_n discourse_v in_o 1_o cor._n 8._o show_v that_o though_o he_o and_o other_o have_v a_o very_a vile_a opinion_n of_o the_o heathen-idol_n yet_o it_o be_v a_o most_o shameful_a and_o wicked_a thing_n to_o lay_v a_o stumble_a block_n in_o their_o brethren_n way_n that_o be_v the_o expression_n again_o that_o be_v to_o minister_v unto_o they_o any_o occasion_n of_o fall_v into_o or_o of_o continue_v in_o a_o sinful_a practice_n meat_n commend_v we_o not_o unto_o god_n for_o neither_o if_o we_o eat_v be_v we_o the_o better_a neither_o if_o we_o eat_v not_o be_v we_o the_o worse_o but_o take_v heed_n lest_o by_o any_o mean_v this_o liberty_n of_o you_o become_v a_o stumble_a block_n to_o they_o that_o be_v weak_a for_o if_o a_o man_n see_v thou_o who_o have_v knowledge_n sit_v at_o meat_n in_o the_o idol_n temple_n shall_v not_o the_o conscience_n of_o he_o that_o be_v weak_a be_v embolden_v to_o eat_v those_o thing_n which_o be_v offer_v to_o idol_n and_o through_o thy_o knowledge_n shall_v the_o weak_a brother_n perish_v for_o who_o christ_n die_v verse_n 8_o 9_o 10_o 11._o and_o at_o the_o close_a of_o that_o chapter_n he_o declare_v his_o own_o peremptory_a resolution_n that_o if_o meat_n make_v his_o brother_n to_o offend_v he_o will_v eat_v no_o flesh_n while_o the_o world_n stand_v lest_o he_o shall_v make_v his_o brother_n to_o offend_v here_o then_o be_v a_o noble_a rule_n of_o charity_n for_o we_o all_o to_o go_v by_o viz._n to_o be_v very_o careful_a that_o we_o do_v not_o at_o any_o time_n encourage_v other_o to_o do_v evil_a by_o our_o indecent_a and_o scandalous_a example_n in_o any_o case_n not_o so_o much_o as_o in_o the_o use_n of_o thing_n pure_o indifferent_a much_o less_o by_o do_v thing_n that_o have_v a_o moral_a and_o natural_a turpitude_n in_o they_o such_o thing_n be_v of_o a_o most_o shameful_a nature_n and_o of_o very_o dangerous_a consequence_n and_o therefore_o we_o shall_v always_o beware_v of_o they_o lest_o we_o be_v answerable_a for_o other_o man_n blood_n and_o ruin_n as_o well_o as_o our_o own_o st._n chrysostom_n understand_v the_o apostle_n thus_o charity_n be_v not_o ashamed_a and_o he_o instance_v in_o our_o bless_a saviour_n who_o be_v not_o at_o all_o ashamed_a when_o the_o harlot_n wash_v his_o foot_n with_o tear_n and_o wipe_v they_o with_o the_o hair_n of_o her_o head_n kiss_v his_o foot_n and_o anoint_v they_o nor_o when_o he_o be_v spit_v upon_o and_o abuse_v by_o base_a fellow_n nor_o when_o he_o carry_v a_o thief_n and_o murderer_n with_o he_o into_o paradise_n the_o meaning_n of_o that_o great_a man_n be_v that_o true_a charity_n do_v not_o permit_v one_o to_o do_v a_o foul_a thing_n a_o thing_n which_o he_o have_v just_a reason_n to_o be_v ashamed_a of_o the_o lord_n jesus_n do_v all_o thing_n with_o a_o charitable_a purpose_n and_o to_o charitable_a end_n and_o we_o that_o be_v his_o follower_n shall_v follow_v he_o in_o this_o to_o win_v as_o many_o soul_n to_o he_o as_o we_o can_v in_o stead_n of_o discourage_v or_o offend_a any_o to_o gain_v all_o that_o be_v about_o we_o at_o least_o to_o endeavour_v it_o this_o be_v christian_a charity_n

a_o good_a example_n and_o charitable_a direction_n to_o show_v he_o the_o way_n to_o everlasting_a life_n ix_o 9_o the_o reason_n why_o charity_n require_v these_o and_o the_o like_a office_n at_o our_o hand_n be_v because_o it_o be_v a_o public-spirited_a grace_n and_o that_o be_v another_o noble_a character_n the_o apostle_n give_v of_o a_o charitable_a person_n that_o he_o seek_v not_o his_o
