Our Apostle is exhorting of the Faithful to shake off, yea, cut off. (with a just Excommunication) the False Teachers from whom they suffered more than a little Trouble. But at the same time, he exhorts them to advance a Liberal Maintenance for the Orthodox, Diligent, Vigilant Ministers of the Gospel. He would have them to beware, lest they mocked GOD in their Parsimony on this Occasion; but asserts unto them, that their Liberality in this Matter, would not fail of a Recompense. There would be a Desirable Harvest of it. But it is asserted in such Terms, as to extend unto the whole Work of PIETY. And now, having that Commission; Isa. III. 10. Say ye to the Righteous, that it shall be well; For they shall eat the Fruit of their Doings: I will now execute it, saying what I am thus led unto. What I have to say, is in this Admonition of GOD our SAVIOUR.

There would be a Desireable Harvest of it. But it is asserted in such Terms, as to extend unto the whole Work of PIETY. And now, having that Commission; Isa. III. 10.

Whatever Difficulties the Work of PIETY may be encumbered withal, yet, Thy Work shall be Rewarded, saith the Lord: There will be a Joyful Harvest of it.
