Bleffed
are
the
poore
in
fpirit,
c'ç.
Shall
now
briefly
give
you
a
few promifes
that
are
made in Scripture to
filch as
are
Cods
poore
:
and
then
proceed
to
the blef-
f
dneßé that
Chriui pronounces
of
them,
namely,Yhat theirs
is
the
1
tngdom of
Heaven.
Now
for
the
prornifes
to
thole that are poore.
Firm, God
thinkes,

may
be thy
Friends
thinke not of
thee
;
Thou
art
a
poore
nun
or
woman, and
yet

thou
haft
rich
Friends that perhaps
have
their full
dithes,
and want
nothing,
but
have
all coming
in
according
to

and
they thinke not of
thee, I

you
be
one
of Gods
pòöo-re,
as
bath
been defcribed,
God
thinks
of
you.

Poore men

others,
they
fcarçe have
a
looke-from
them, but Gods eye
is
continu-
ally upon
them
for good
;
fo you
have
it
in
the
66
Ifa. begin-
ning,
He
looks
to
the
contrite and
poore.
Thirdly,
He
fo

as
he would-not have
