That to be without Compassion to the poor, is the mark of a wicked man.
That to be without Compassion to the poore, is the marke of a wicked man.
They who have found the compassion of God to their own souls (as every godly man hath) cannot shut up the bowels of their compassion towards the pined body of man. The Apostle John puts the question (1 Ep: 3.17.) How dwelleth the love of God in him, that doth so? The love of God, either as taken for the love of God to us, or for our love to God, dwelleth not in him, in whom there dwells no love to man.

See what a spirit Edom was of; when Israel put it to the lowest, we will drink none of the water of your wells, or if we do we will pay for it; No, Edom was so hard-hearted, that he would neither give, nor sell them water; they shall not have it either of free cost, or for money; thus uncompassionate was he towards a People that were travelling, that were weary and thirsty. The Inhabitants of Tema are commended for their tenderness to men in distress (
