Answ. Yea certainly very much, we ought both to give and to suffer much for the enjoyment of Ordinances, yea we should choose rather to live in a poor condition so we may enjoy the Ordinances in their purity, than to be in a rich condition and want the Ordinances; we are to be liberal our selves and careful in putting on others to be so, even till it come to the case of unmercifulness, and then God will have mercy and not sacrifice.
