The
meek
fhall
inherit the
earth,
with
all
lowlinef
fe and
meekneffe,
with
long
fu
fj
ering, forbearing
one
another
in
love
;
Here's the
way
to
wake
worthy
of
otar
cal-
ling: it's the
way
of
walking worthy
of
all
mercies, of Gods de-
1,ivermg
of
us
from our bondage,
when we can
in
meeknefe axd
lowlinefJe,
and
long
-fuf
ering, Prbeare
one
another,
This
is
the
walking worthy
of
our calling.
Now
I
come
to that
which
I
have
here
in
the Text.
For
they
'hall
inherit the
earth.
It's
as
orange
a
promife
as any
we
have
in
Scripture,
As
much
againfk
carnal reafonas
any
thing almofl
in all
the
book
of
God
:
Blef
ed
are
themee& :
I
you will
fay
they
are bleffed,
they
may
get
to
heaven when
they dye,
but
they
are like
to
fufËer
a
great
deale of
wrong while
they
live
:
Nay
if
we do put up
wrongs and
beare with others
that
do
us
injuries,
we
may have wrongs
enough, and we
may quickly
Toole
all
that
ever
we
have, this
is
the
reafoning
of
a
carnal
heart,
but
Jefus
Chrif
+if
you
dare
truli
him,
he
profeffes
that of
all
men
in the
world the meek
are thofe
that
thall
inherit the earth,it
fhall
be
better
with them
in
the earth then
with
other
men.
Now
you
will fay, Can
that
matte
them
blef
ed
that
they
'hall
inherit
the
earth
r
To
that the anfver
is.
Yes, that
way
of
inheritance of the
earth
is
a
great
bleffedneffe, and
a
certaine
argument
of
a
man bleffed by
God,
not becaufe he
'hall
have riches in the
earth,
but he
fhall
inherit
it
as
a
child
ofGod,he
fhall
have the
right
unto
the
things
of
the
earth
as
an
Heire
:
Men
may
have
the
things
of the earth
by
a
donation
from
Gods
bounty,
and
fo
I
do
not thinke they are
ufurpers
of
what
they
have,
God
gives
it
them
as
a
Prince,
or
Judge
should give
a nnalefacîor
fomewhat
to
maintain
him
for
his
diet
two
or
three
dayes after
the
fentence
of
death
till
be comes
to
be
executed,
now he
doth
not
ufurpe his
meare
that
he
doth
eate,
for
it
is
given
him
freely,
fo
wicked
men,they
have
the
things
of
this earth
in
that
way
given them
by
donation
to live,
though
the
fentence
of
death be
upon
them,
and though
they have;forfited
all
the
com-
