since, Lorenzo preached at Charleston, 8 C., and
in the course Of one Of his sermons, attack

was in consequence of his vices. For this he
was, at the instance of the relatives Of the de-

robes of purple and linen, and Jared sumptuousiy

be called dissipated. Now, there was also,
think, in Jerusalem, certain bcggar named Laza-
rus, who asked to be fed only with the crumbs that
fell from the rich mans table. He lay down at
the gate ofhis palace, but the rich man would not
hear him, and set the dogs on him. So this poor
beggar died and then his ended, for he was
carried by angels to Abraham's bosom. Yes,
Lazarus went up alot. his spirit scared up to heav-
en-, where all good men will go when they die.
