Have you been kind to the poor according to your ability?

And remember that the moment Zaccheus resolved to do right to every body, and to be kind to the poor, our Lord tells him, that salvation was then come to his house.

You would do well therefore, as a proof of your thankfulness to God, to be liberal to the poor according to your ability.

And if you have not already settled your worldly concerns, your church enjoins me, as her minister, to admonish you to make your will, and to declare what you owe, and what is owing to you; and it is fit that you do so now, for the discharging of a good conscience, and for the preventing of mischief atter your death.

more seen.

For which purpose before I leave you, as I have concluded my former Visits with prayer, I must request you, and those about you, to join with me again; therefore let us devoutly pray.
