2 Relieving the needy with what they want. Isa. 58. 7. 1 Cor. 16. 2. Mat. 25. 35, 36.
3 Pulling out of danger such as are therein. Mat. 12. 11. Luk. 13. 16.
4 Affording all other seasonable succour. Mat. 12. 1, 4.
These may be so ordered, as none of the forementioned duties of piety need to be omitted for them. If Christians rise in any seasonable time, they may perform both private and ⟨p. 10⟩secret duties of piety before they go to Church in the fore-noon: and if they spend not too much time at dinner, they may do the like before Church-time in the afternoon. And when they come from the after-noon public service of the Church, either before, or after, the like private duties of piety, they may do some of the fore-mentioned works of mercy: and those such as concern the body. If they prove such as hinder works of piety, they belong to works permitted, which are hereafter distinctly set down.
