Let us learn by their example to be harberous, and given to hospitality, which is so often commended unto us in the Scripture, and shall be so richly rewarded at the last day. Those godly Fathers, Abraham and Lot, entertained Angels in the habit of strangers: so we may daily entertain Christ Jesus in the habit of a poor ¹man, of a blind man, of a lame man: and whatsoever is done unto any of these that are his members, he accounteth and accepteth as done unto himself.

Let vs learne by their example to bee harberous, and giuen to hospitality, which is so often commended vnto vs in the Scripture, and shall bee so richly rewarded at the last day. Those godly Fathers, Abraham and Lot, entertained Angels in the habite of strangers: so wee may daily entertaine Christ Iesus in the habite of a poore ¹man, of a blind man, of a lame man: and whatsoeuer is done vnto any of these that are his members, hee accounteth and accepteth as done vnto himselfe.

1. 1Gen. 18 Gen. 19

Now as the virtue of hospitality is commendable in all sorts of men: so is it more especially commended to the Ministers, who are expressly commanded by the Apostle among other things, to be given to hospitality. ¹Unto the Levites in the time of the law, the Lord appointed cities of refuge, to signify that the Ministers house should be the poor mans harbour, and his store their treasure: but the true Ministers of our days have no cities of refuge for others, for they have none for themselves: they have not wherewith to relieve the wants of others, for they have not to relieve their own.
