singular_a reason_n and_o rhetoric_n together_o must_v needs_o have_v knock_v it_o down_o in_o a_o instant_n now_o i_o must_v own_v to_o this_o reflector_n that_o these_o wise_a thought_n never_o come_v into_o my_o head_n and_o if_o they_o have_v i_o shall_v certain_o have_v send_v they_o pack_v as_o soon_o as_o i_o have_v observe_v they_o for_o i_o shall_v certain_o have_v disdain_v to_o have_v trifle_v in_o this_o manner_n these_o topic_n may_v serve_v the_o turn_n for_o a_o young_a declaimer_n of_o who_o if_o he_o can_v but_o show_v a_o little_a wit_n it_o be_v not_o expect_v that_o he_o shall_v talk_v much_o reason_n but_o do_v this_o reflector_n think_v that_o to_o talk_v of_o holy_a place_n and_o holy_a consecrate_a ground_n and_o of_o the_o contrary_a profaneness_n of_o a_o common_a and_o unhallowed_a barn_n and_o the_o threshing-floor_n will_v be_v of_o such_o mighty_a force_n to_o bring_v dissenter_n to_o church_n will_v not_o this_o rather_o have_v offend_v than_o persuade_v they_o do_v not_o he_o know_v they_o have_v but_o little_a opinion_n of_o such_o holiness_n and_o consecration_n and_o yet_o that_o they_o choose_v to_o worship_n on_o the_o threshing-floor_n not_o because_o they_o think_v it_o best_o but_o for_o want_v of_o a_o more_o convenient_a place_n and_o because_o they_o be_v willing_a to_o have_v their_o dead_a carcase_n that_o be_v without_o sense_n or_o feel_v bring_v to_o be_v bury_v in_o the_o church_n ground_n among_o their_o forefather_n which_o they_o think_v be_v a_o convenient_a repository_n for_o they_o do_v he_o think_v that_o this_o will_v do_v the_o mighty_a feat_n to_o persuade_v they_o to_o bring_v their_o live_a soul_n to_o church_n to_o worship_n there_o when_o they_o think_v they_o can_v do_v better_o elsewhere_o do_v not_o be_v know_v that_o it_o be_v the_o service_n that_o they_o take_v exception_n against_o and_o not_o the_o wall_n or_o seat_n or_o ground_n or_o earth_n and_o it_o be_v impossible_a that_o he_o shall_v trifle_v so_o as_o to_o imagine_v that_o the_o better_a sort_n of_o dissenter_n shall_v think_v that_o if_o they_o shall_v be_v too_o soon_o admit_v into_o the_o bosom_n of_o the_o church_n they_o can_v by_o no_o mean_n live_v up_o to_o the_o rule_n of_o it_o do_v he_o think_v that_o they_o take_v the_o rule_n of_o our_o church_n to_o be_v strict_a than_o those_o of_o their_o own_o or_o that_o they_o shall_v think_v that_o their_o choose_n to_o be_v bury_v at_o last_o in_o the_o church_n ground_n will_v atone_v for_o their_o long_a absence_n from_o the_o church_n service_n and_o that_o this_o be_v their_o final_a action_n will_v determine_v their_o salvation_n will_v not_o they_o take_v this_o to_o be_v a_o downright_a affront_n to_o they_o that_o we_o shall_v take_v they_o to_o be_v such_o silly_a creature_n of_o all_o man_n live_v if_o i_o be_v to_o discourse_n of_o this_o matter_n i_o will_v not_o come_v to_o this_o reflector_n to_o suggest_v head_n or_o argument_n to_o i_o for_o it_o certain_o it_o be_v a_o thousand_o time_n better_o quite_o to_o hold_v one_o peace_n than_o to_o talk_v thus_o quite_o cross_v to_o the_o business_n these_o be_v rare_a and_o singular_a thought_n and_o i_o dare_v say_v be_v none-such_a of_o their_o kind_n and_o this_o last_o especial_o he_o take_v for_o a_o notable_a piece_n of_o wit_n and_o ingenuity_n it_o be_v no_o doubt_n his_o own_o most_o genuine_a offspring_n and_o be_v so_o take_v with_o the_o misshapen_v fancy_n that_o he_o can_v not_o choose_v but_o make_v much_o of_o it_o and_o then_o by_o all_o mean_n must_v produce_v it_o to_o open_a view_n that_o all_o may_v admire_v it_o but_o a_o little_a charity_n and_o judgement_n withal_o which_o this_o reflector_n have_v take_v great_a care_n not_o to_o betray_v too_o much_o of_o have_v most_o certain_o final_o determine_v it_o out_o of_o the_o way_n now_o at_o last_o he_o add_v that_o the_o ceremony_n be_v few_o and_o inoffensive_a the_o prayer_n be_v devout_a and_o pathetical_o good_a the_o sermon_n be_v practical_a and_o plain_a i_o know_v nothing_o that_o this_o reflector_n have_v say_v to_o the_o purpose_n but_o only_o this_o but_o if_o he_o have_v also_o a_o little_a far_o set_v out_o the_o inoffensiveness_n of_o the_o ceremony_n the_o goodness_n of_o the_o prayer_n and_o the_o usefulness_n of_o the_o sermon_n it_o will_v have_v be_v no_o doubt_n so_o much_o the_o more_o effectual_a but_o it_o look_v as_o if_o he_o least_o descend_v upon_o this_o he_o slight_v it_o over_o so_o quick_a for_o this_o reflector_n be_v only_o for_o rare_a antique_a and_o unusual_a thing_n a_o little_a plain_a honest_a truth_n be_v not_o so_o agreeable_a to_o his_o rove_a and_o high-soaring_a fancy_n do_v he_o think_v that_o such_o general_a affirmation_n only_o will_v have_v be_v so_o powerful_a to_o persuade_v or_o that_o his_o or_o my_o tell_v they_o so_o which_o perhaps_o they_o have_v hear_v a_o hundred_o time_n over_o will_v upon_o a_o sudden_a convince_v and_o alter_v their_o mind_n and_o change_v their_o relish_n of_o thing_n if_o i_o have_v be_v to_o discourse_n of_o this_o matter_n i_o think_v i_o ought_v to_o have_v go_v a_o little_a deep_o into_o the_o controversy_n take_v it_o to_o piece_n and_o unravel_v its_o part_n to_o break_v the_o force_n of_o objection_n but_o be_v that_o a_o time_n or_o season_n for_o all_o this_o will_v not_o that_o have_v be_v a_o pretty_a undertake_n at_o a_o funeral_n beside_o there_o be_v many_o book_n write_v about_o these_o thing_n and_o many_o and_o long_o dispute_v print_v about_o they_o and_o if_o these_o do_v not_o prevail_v i_o do_v believe_v that_o the_o slight_a flurt_n of_o this_o reflector_n rhetoric_n or_o the_o most_o that_o i_o can_v say_v will_v ever_o do_v it_o for_o i_o have_v no_o such_o mighty_a conceit_n of_o my_o ability_n that_o way_n whatever_o this_o reflector_n have_v of_o his_o we_o have_v dispute_v long_o enough_o and_o we_o know_v the_o time_n when_o some_o severity_n have_v be_v use_v too_o and_o yet_o we_o see_v that_o all_o have_v have_v but_o little_a effect_n i_o think_v therefore_o we_o be_v all_o better_o yield_v what_o we_o can_v and_o shake_v hand_n and_o love_v one_o another_o i_o have_v now_o say_v what_o i_o intend_v to_o say_v in_o this_o matter_n if_o the_o reflector_n be_v not_o satisfy_v herewith_o it_o will_v be_v in_o vain_a for_o i_o any_o far_a to_o attempt_v his_o satisfaction_n i_o shall_v not_o presume_v to_o give_v he_o any_o advice_n but_o let_v he_o alone_o to_o take_v his_o own_o measure_n yet_o i_o shall_v not_o refuse_v any_o from_o he_o provide_v he_o be_v happy_a in_o advise_v another_o time_n than_o in_o what_o he_o have_v do_v already_o but_o if_o he_o intend_v to_o dispute_v or_o criminate_a on_o i_o shall_v leave_v he_o to_o enjoy_v himself_o in_o his_o own_o humour_n but_o i_o intend_v to_o give_v myself_o no_o far_o trouble_v about_o it_o to_o conclude_v it_o be_v a_o great_a comfort_n to_o think_v of_o that_o state_n and_o place_n where_o all_o imperfection_n shall_v be_v do_v away_o and_o where_o all_o difference_n and_o contention_n shall_v be_v at_o a_o end_n where_o i_o hope_v yet_o to_o meet_v this_o now_o angry_a brother_n and_o do_v most_o hearty_o pray_v that_o both_o he_o and_o i_o and_o whosoever_o have_v any_o ill_a
