Mace(i)
1 My brethren, let not your christian profession be accompanied with partiality.
2 when any one, adorn'd with a gold ring, and a splendid dress, enters into your assembly; and a poor man comes in meanly habited:
3 if you should respectfully say to the suit of fine cloths, sit you there, that's for quality; and to the poor man, stand thou there, or place your self at my feet:
4 have not you made an arbitrary distinction, don't your judgments flow from a vicious principle?
5 consider, my dear brethren, has not God chose the poor of this world to be rich by faith, and to inherit the kingdom he has promised to those who love him?
