4. They whom we have just cause to believe, that they are of the household of Faith.1 For we may judge them to be true in their words; and believe that their wants are such as they declare them to be. Now ⟨p. 291⟩amongst the godly, such are especially to be relieved, and to be preferred in our charity, who are imprisoned, or otherwise suffer for Christ, and the Gospels sake; For Christ in a special manner is relieved in the persons of such, as himself will acknowledge at the day of judgement, when he will pronounce that blessed sentence of absolution to such merciful men; Come ye blessed of my Father, 2inherit the Kingdom prepared for you; For I was an hungered, and ye gave me meat, I was thirsty, and ye gave me drink, I was a stranger, and ye took me in; I was in prison, and ye came unto me, &c.
