the meek Jhall
inherit
the
earth.

Thirdly,
Meek
ones furely they (hall
inherit the
-earth
be-
.
caufe
meAneife
is fuch
a
.beautitull grace
that
no
body
will
,harmer
who
will
harme
you
if
youfollow
.that
which is
good,?
Such as
live meekly
and
quietlyin
a
family, every body will
be
-ready
to
maintaine
their
caufe,and
fo
they
come
to
have
benefit
here
in
the earth rather then others.
Fourthly, The
meek (hall inherit the
earth;
why
thole
that
are
=eke,
they
are
more drawingthen others:
As
for initance,
If
you should want
a
fervant into your family,whom would you
enquire for, would
not
you have
a
man or
maid fervant
to
be
of
a meek and
quiet ipirir
?
and
if
you
heare that they are of
a
froward paffionate
fpirit,
ô
lay
you
they
(hall
not
come
into
my
houfe, and
fo
you
Toole
your good fervice
by
that meanes,
and
,another fervant
thatis
of
a
meek and
quiet fpirit,
nay
faith a
Mailer,
or
Millrifs,
I
will have
this fervant
though
I
give
them
more
wages
:
Now here
you
fee how
the meek
come
to inhe-
rit
the earth rather
-then
other. Why if
a
man
be
to
feek
a
wife
-one
of
the
fir(}
qualities"
that he
will look
after
is
to
fee
whither
,fhe
be
of
a
meek
fpirit,
and
if the
be not
let
her
have what
the
will elfe,
fhe
is
oftentimes
rejec&ed,
but now
let
them
be
of
meek
and
quiet
fpirirs though
their portion
be
the letfe,
yet
they are accepted,
fo
that
meeknefs helps
in
the
things
of
this
earth.
If
aman were
travelling, he
would
rather lie
in
an
Inn
Where
the
Holt
and-fervants
are
of quiet fpirits,then
in
another
place
where they are nor,
meeknefs
doth
much advantage
the
"inheriting
of the earth
even
in
theree
things.
Fifthly,
Where ever
there
is meeknefs,
there the
foul
doth
give up
it's
caufe
to
God:whatfoever
wrongs
a
meek
man
bath
here
in this
world, he doth intereil
God
uithiq
carfe,
and
-by
that
meanes
he
comes
to
enjoy
a
great bl
e
l
ng
in
thi
;
earth
-:
I
befeech
you
mind
this
I
fay a
meek
min
is
Laid
to inherit
the
earth more then another,
becaufe
his
[pi-it
comes
ro
be foot:-
dered, that
whatfoever wrongs
he
fuffers in
the
wo.
Id, he can
keepe
his
heart
quiet,
and by
that
meanes
can
inrerell God
in
his
caufe,and whenyou have once
intereRed God
in
our caufe
you
are like
to
do
well
enough
:
As
now
lometitnes
wh
n
r
=eia
cannot
get
fome
debts,
if
they
can make
the debt to
b
C
c
king;
