but constancy should be brought to its perfection, that you may be entirely accomplished, without any defect.

if you should respectfully say to the suit of fine cloths, sit you there, that's for quality; and to the poor man, stand thou there, or place your self at my feet:

he that said, "do not commit adultery," said too, "do not kill." though you should not commit adultery, yet if you kill, you are a transgressor of the law.

suppose one of your brethren should be destitute of cloths, and of his daily nourishment,

and one of you should thus address him; "go and prosper, I wish you a warm fire, and a full meal:" without relieving his wants, would he be the better for your wish?

don't repine, my brethren, against one another, for fear you should be condemn'd. behold, the judge is at the gate.
