Poore

f
irh
Chrifl, I will not
onely
promife, you what you shall
have when
you
dye
;
but
you
ihail have
a
kingdome now for
theprefent;
Theirs
is
the
kingdome
of
Heaven.
Wee
came
to
the
opening
of this-kingdome of Heaven,
what it
is
and
iliewed
you
the
feverall acceptations
of the
words, the
b.
ngdome
:
what
it's
taken for in
tc
tpture. But
this
is
that that
was
conceived
to
be
the
fcope
of
Chi
itt here
{
thé
k
rgdome of
F
eaven)
that
is,
the eflate of the
Mafia'',
the
good things
that the
Meflïah
was
to
bring into the
world
in hisÄdminifira
~ton,
that's the
kingdome of Heaven
that's
here
meant. I doe not `think- that
Chrif}
did
aime
at this;
that they fhot.ld
goe
to H-
wen
when
they
dye,
and
be
in
Glory there,
as
the
onely
thing
;,
that's indeed
among
other
things
that
will
follow
:
But that
which
Chrill
aymes
at
here,
thofe
that are poore
in
fririt
they
are bleffed
;
for
they
are,
partakers
for
the prefent
of
the
bleff
d
eflate of the people
of
God,
that
is,
in
the
time of the
Meffias
coming
into
the
world. And therefore
I
doe not intend here
to
fpeake
about
the Glory of
Heaven
For
any
thing that
may be fpoken
about
that
will
rather
fall
into the
io
veríe
;
Neff
ed
are
they
whieh,
are
perfccuted
for
righteoufyeff
e
fake
; for
theirs
is
the
kjegdome
of
PIeaven.
But
all
that I.ihall
ipeake
of here is, The
blef
ed
eflate
of thofe
that
are
poore;in
1pirit, viz..
the
Inroment
of
the
good things
in
the
fine
of
the
Meilîah
;
and
that
is
the
meaning of that
scripture
;
Repent, for
the
kingdome
o
Heaven
is
at
hand
;
That is,
Repent
and carne
from your evil! wayes,
and follow not
your
lulls
as
you
were wont. But
repent,
for
Jefus hrifl
h
come
into the world
that
brings
a
great deale
of
Cloy
wi-h him. Becaufe
I would gladly
fini?h
at
this
rime,
I
will
palle
by what we
fpake
roo,and come
to
what
retnaines,
and
the
rather,
becaufe
in that that do

what
that
we fpake
too-the

the

This.
