UNTO THE LORD. Prov. ix. 17. —As there are many un
happy prifeners in the new jail, who are in the greatek dis
tress for want of clothes and firing, it is hoped the affluent

days, and who have no allowance of provisions.—Then shall
the KING fay unto them on his right hand, come ye blessed
of my father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the
foundation of the world. For 1 was an hungred, and ye
gave m&meat; I was thirsty, and ye gave me drink; I was a
granger, and ye took me in ; naked, and ye clothed me ; I
was sick, and ye visited me; I was in PRISON, and ye came
unto me. Matt. xxv. 34, 35, 36. —Verily I fay unto you, in
as much as ye have done it unto one of the leak of these my
brethren, ye have done it unto me. Id. 40.
