Sermon 21 Upon our Lord’s Sermon on the Mount Discourse 1 “And seeing the multitudes, he went up into a mountain: And when he was set, his disciples came unto Him: And he opened his mouth, and taught them,saying, ‘Blessed are the poor in spirit: For theirs is the kingdom of heaven. Blessed are they that mourn: For they shall be comforted.” Matt. 5:1–4. I. 1. Our Lord, First, lays down the sum of all true religion in eight particulars, which he explains, and guards against the false glosses of men, to the end of the fifth chapter.
