Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from An Homily of Alms-Deeds, and Mercifulness: Toward the Poor and Needy Amongst the manifold duties that Almighty God requireth of his faithful servants the true Christians, by the which he would that both his name should be glorified, and the certainty of their vocation declared, there is none that is either more acceptable unto him, or more profitable for them, than are the works of mercy and pity showed upon the poor, which be afflicted with any kind of misery. And yet this notwithstanding, such is the slothful sluggishness of our dull nature to that which is good and godly, that we are almost in nothing more negligent and less careful than we are therein. It is therefore a very necessary thing, that God´s people should awake their sleepy minds, and consider their duty on this behalf. And meet it is that all true Christians should desirously seek and learn what God by his holy Word doth herein require of them: that first knowing their duty, (whereof many by their slackness seem to be very ignorant,) they may afterwards diligently endeavour to perform the same. By the which, both the godly charitable persons may be encouraged to go forwards and continue in their merciful deeds of almsgiving to the poor, and also such as have hitherto neglected or contemned it, may yet now at length, when they shall hear how much it appertaineth to them, advisedly consider it, and virtuously apply themselves thereunto.
