Lo here a large field, God send liberal hearts and hands, & then though there be not so many as heretofore, there will be enow to fill these acres. Alas my Brethren, had you hearts as wel as purses, were your will equal to your power, the sum of both the former years put together might be equalized, nay exceeded by the bounty of a few among you, I, and that without any prejudice to your estates; prejudice did I say? nay with a great deal of advantage perhaps to your estates, however to your souls. Which way most of the former charity went, those little ones, though silent, speak; nor do any of you I hope in the least doubt the fidelity of these worthy Gentlemen with whom the present benevolence is to be entrusted: and now I am willing to believe that such a fire of love is kindled in your hearts as will burn at your fingers ends with a bright and clear flame. I trust there is none among you who can spare Five Shillings towards the Feast, but hath as much to give to the Collection; yea I hope there are some of you who are resolved to give as many if not more Pounds to the one, then you have Shillings to the other. |
