no_o further_o at_o this_o time_n to_o you_o by_o reason_n i_o will_v have_v some_o more_o discourse_n with_o you_o since_o you_o have_v be_v so_o kind_a to_o come_v and_o spend_v this_o time_n with_o i_o b._n i_o think_v what_o you_o have_v read_v to_o i_o be_v much_o to_o the_o purpose_n of_o what_o i_o come_v to_o you_o about_o i_o be_o glad_a to_o see_v you_o have_v so_o good_a a_o book_n i_o hope_v you_o will_v read_v it_o a_o little_a often_o than_o i_o fear_v you_o have_v do_v pray_v pardon_v my_o course_n compliment_n for_o i_o fear_v you_o have_v not_o much_o mind_v it_o heretofore_o for_o i_o find_v here_o be_v further_a direction_n in_o this_o book_n for_o he_o say_v it_o be_v not_o a_o necessity_n to_o do_v a_o work_n upon_o this_o day_n when_o it_o may_v be_v do_v upon_o another_o day_n this_o make_v i_o more_o admire_v at_o you_o have_v so_o good_a a_o book_n and_o in_o it_o so_o good_a reason_n against_o the_o exercise_v of_o your_o trade_n on_o the_o lord's-day_n for_o shame_n be_v of_o another_o mind_n and_o leave_v off_o for_o the_o future_a s._n alas_o i_o have_v a_o great_a many_o good_a book_n though_o with_o shame_n i_o may_v say_v it_o i_o have_v not_o mind_v they_o i_o have_v the_o practice_n of_o piety_n and_o the_o duty_n of_o man_n beside_o the_o holy_a bible_n and_o other_o good_a book_n i_o hope_v god_n will_v forgive_v i_o for_o the_o neglect_n of_o they_o indeed_o i_o be_v never_o so_o much_o convince_v as_o i_o be_o at_o this_o time_n by_o your_o discourse_n that_o for_o the_o future_a through_o the_o grace_n of_o god_n i_o will_v be_v more_o careful_a b._n i_o pray_v god_n you_o may_v i_o will_v fain_o recommend_v to_o you_o that_o passage_n in_o the_o practice_n of_o piety_n about_o keep_v the_o lord's-day_n since_o you_o say_v you_o have_v the_o book_n and_o when_o you_o read_v it_o apply_v it_o to_o yourself_o and_o consider_v well_o the_o truth_n of_o what_o be_v say_v do_v not_o read_v it_o careless_o but_o consider_v your_o soul_n lie_v at_o stake_n and_o it_o be_v worth_a your_o take_a care_n of_o i_o pray_v you_o pardon_v i_o for_o be_v so_o earnest_a with_o you_o for_o i_o desire_v no_o other_o thing_n than_o the_o good_a of_o your_o soul_n s._n i_o thank_v you_o hearty_o for_o take_v so_o much_o pain_n with_o i_o i_o be_o satisfy_v you_o do_v it_o for_o my_o good_a and_o my_o own_o conscience_n tell_v i_o i_o ought_v to_o take_v your_o advice_n only_o i_o be_o afraid_a of_o lose_v my_o trade_n except_o other_o will_v leave_v off_o as_o well_o as_o i_o and_o i_o can_v do_v it_o cheerful_o b._n alas_o this_o be_v a_o childish_a reason_n for_o if_o other_o man_n will_v poison_v themselves_o why_o shall_v you_o if_o other_o man_n be_v never_o so_o bad_a that_o be_v no_o example_n for_o you_o to_o follow_v if_o they_o be_v unreasonable_a why_o shall_v you_o lose_v your_o wit_n do_v but_o look_v upon_o your_o soul_n as_o worth_n more_o than_o all_o the_o riches_n of_o the_o world_n and_o if_o other_o man_n will_v venture_v the_o hazard_n of_o their_o soul_n by_o profane_v this_o day_n of_o the_o lord_n why_o shall_v you_o if_o they_o drink_v cheat_n and_o abuse_v themselves_o must_v you_o do_v so_o too_o how_o can_v you_o be_v afraid_a of_o want_n when_o you_o do_v not_o see_v a_o bird_n starve_v or_o die_v for_o want_n of_o food_n and_o if_o we_o can_v live_v so_o high_a as_o we_o have_v do_v before_o yet_o you_o will_v find_v more_o content_a for_o how_o can_v want_n be_v so_o grievous_a when_o we_o consider_v the_o author_n and_o captain_n of_o our_o salvation_n be_v in_o want_n and_o his_o follower_n be_v so_o too_o and_o yet_o do_v live_v in_o heaven_n therefore_o if_o thy_o call_v be_v a_o occasion_n of_o sin_v away_o with_o it_o and_o turn_v ploughman_n or_o servant_n rather_o than_o live_v in_o a_o breach_n of_o a_o know_a command_n or_o sin_n seek_v first_o the_o kingdom_n of_o heaven_n and_o its_o righteousness_n and_o look_v after_o the_o concern_v of_o your_o soul_n and_o then_o as_o for_o necessary_n thy_o god_n will_v not_o suffer_v thou_o to_o want_v they_o s._n i_o be_o convince_v and_o through_o the_o grace_n of_o god_n i_o will_v leave_v off_o exercise_v my_o trade_n on_o the_o lord's-day_n for_o the_o future_a b._n i_o must_v confess_v you_o make_v my_o heart_n rejoice_v to_o hear_v this_o answer_n from_o you_o i_o pray_v god_n keep_v you_o always_o in_o the_o same_o mind_n and_o i_o do_v not_o doubt_v but_o you_o will_v find_v a_o great_a deal_n of_o comfort_n in_o it_o and_o more_o than_o at_o present_a you_o can_v expect_v and_o this_o put_v i_o in_o mind_n of_o a_o certain_a friend_n of_o i_o that_o keep_v a_o coffee-house_n and_o he_o will_v not_o sell_v any_o coffee_n on_o the_o lord's-day_n some_o of_o his_o customer_n begin_v to_o leave_v he_o and_o though_o he_o be_v so_o strict_a as_o they_o call_v it_o because_o he_o will_v not_o open_v his_o door_n on_o that_o day_n to_o let_v in_o man_n to_o drink_v a_o dish_n of_o coffee_n they_o tell_v he_o that_o they_o think_v there_o be_v no_o harm_n in_o it_o but_o say_v he_o that_o will_v not_o excuse_v i_o who_o think_v it_o be_v harm_n for_o if_o i_o may_v follow_v my_o call_v you_o may_v as_o well_o follow_v you_o and_o since_o you_o think_v it_o be_v a_o sin_n for_o you_o to_o open_v your_o shop_n and_o keep_v your_o servant_n at_o work_n why_o shall_v i_o keep_v i_o since_o make_v and_o sell_v of_o coffee_n be_v work_v to_o my_o servant_n i_o think_v they_o ought_v not_o to_o do_v it_o nor_o myself_o neither_o for_o i_o never_o do_v nor_o i_o hope_v never_o shall_v the_o man_n be_v as_o good_a as_o his_o word_n and_o certain_o he_o lose_v nothing_o by_o it_o for_o he_o be_v now_o become_v a_o rich_a man_n and_o i_o hope_v you_o will_v follow_v his_o example_n for_o i_o think_v it_o be_v a_o great_a shame_n to_o see_v so_o many_o keep_v their_o servant_n at_o home_n to_o draw_v drink_n and_o other_o to_o sell_v thing_n when_o they_o shall_v be_v at_o church_n or_o in_o read_v the_o word_n of_o god_n or_o in_o some_o other_o exercise_v suitable_a for_o the_o day_n for_o it_o be_v count_v a_o persecution_n when_o we_o be_v force_v from_o the_o church_n and_o public_a worship_n if_o then_o there_o can_v be_v a_o persecution_n i_o think_v he_o that_o deny_v himself_o and_o his_o servant_n the_o opportunity_n of_o come_v to_o the_o public_a worship_n of_o god_n on_o the_o lord's-day_n be_v his_o own_o persecutor_n so_o that_o i_o be_o afraid_a it_o do_v too_o evident_o appear_v in_o many_o place_n that_o god_n be_v more_o dishonour_v and_o the_o devil_n better_o serve_v on_o that_o day_n than_o all_o the_o day_n of_o the_o week_n beside_o and_o for_o aught_o i_o know_v the_o judgement_n we_o now_o lie_v under_o may_v be_v owe_v to_o the_o profaner_n of_o the_o lord's-day_n for_o when_o we_o consider_v how_o much_o righteousness_n exalt_v a_o nation_n so_o sin_n be_v a_o reproach_n to_o any_o people_n we_o have_v reason_n to_o bewail_v this_o national_a sin_n and_o do_v all_o that_o lie_v in_o our_o power_n to_o remedy_n it_o and_o i_o think_v we_o have_v reason_n to_o pray_v for_o these_o magistrate_n that_o put_v the_o law_n in_o execution_n against_o those_o that_o profane_a the_o lord's-day_n s._n i_o have_v no_o more_o to_o say_v against_o what_o you_o have_v say_v only_o this_o i_o wish_v that_o your_o discourse_n with_o i_o at_o this_o time_n be_v all_o write_a or_o print_v that_o i_o may_v communicate_v it_o to_o some_o of_o my_o brother-trader_n in_o hope_n that_o it_o may_v convince_v some_o of_o they_o as_o now_o it_o have_v do_v i_o bless_a be_v god_n for_o it_o b._n i_o be_o willing_a to_o do_v all_o the_o good_a i_o can_v and_o if_o you_o think_v this_o discourse_n may_v be_v of_o any_o use_n to_o the_o public_a good_a i_o will_v recollect_v my_o mind_n and_o write_v it_o out_o for_o you_o s._n in_o so_o do_v you_o will_v very_o much_o oblige_v i_o and_o i_o hope_v it_o will_v convince_v some_o other_o also_o as_o well_o as_o myself_o b._n dear_a friend_n have_v perform_v my_o promise_n so_o far_o as_o i_o can_v remember_v i_o have_v write_v our_o dispute_n but_o i_o must_v recommend_v it_o to_o you_o with_o a_o little_a advice_n it_o be_v write_v in_o such_o a_o homely_a dress_n that_o when_o you_o communicate_v it_o to_o your_o friend_n you_o will_v desire_v they_o to_o consider_v the_o good_a intention_n and_o the_o truth_n of_o what_o be_v say_v and_o in_o that_o nature_n apply_v it_o to_o themselves_o and_o in_o so_o do_v to_o read_v it_o over_o and_o over_o again_o not_o as_o school_v boy_n do_v their_o lesson_n but_o as_o one_o that_o be_v in_o danger_n of_o his_o soul_n by_o live_v in_o the_o sin_n it_o treat_v of_o for_o since_o i_o have_v this_o discourse_n with_o you_o i_o meet_v with_o a_o honest_a man_n that_o have_v keep_v a_o alehouse_n for_o twenty_o or_o thirty_o year_n and_o i_o tell_v he_o some_o part_n of_o our_o discourse_n he_o tell_v i_o that_o so_o long_o as_o he_o have_v keep_v a_o alehouse_n he_o never_o let_v any_o company_n come_v into_o his_o house_n to_o drink_v on_o the_o lord's-day_n and_o he_o think_v he_o have_v a_o better_a trade_n by_o so_o do_v and_o say_v further_o to_o our_o discourse_n that_o he_o can_v wish_v all_o man_n will_v do_v the_o same_o for_o he_o believe_v they_o will_v live_v better_o without_o a_o sunday-trade_n than_o with_o it_o have_v these_o word_n from_o a_o good_a man_n that_o have_v feel_v the_o comfort_n and_o benefit_n of_o serve_v
