so_o she_o die_v his_o servant_n and_o not_o a_o jot_n the_o less_o for_o her_o judge_a and_o condemn_v herself_o for_o a_o grievous_a sinner_n and_o with_o the_o apostle_n paul_n for_o the_o worst_a of_o sinner_n have_v in_o the_o constant_a course_n of_o her_o life_n for_o many_o year_n approve_a herself_o none_o of_o the_o least_o of_o saint_n we_o have_v better_a evidence_n of_o her_o be_v save_v than_o that_o she_o die_v in_o childbed_n nor_o again_o be_v it_o any_o evidence_n that_o she_o want_v saving-faith_n because_o she_o die_v in_o childbed_n for_o we_o read_v in_o scripture_n but_o of_o two_o woman_n who_o die_v in_o child-bearing_a and_o they_o be_v both_o godly_a woman_n viz._n rachel_n the_o belove_a wife_n of_o the_o patriarch_n jacob_n and_o the_o wife_n of_o

her_o dear_a sister_n now_o also_o with_o god_n that_o she_o have_v three_o good_a property_n of_o a_o good_a wife_n she_o be_v fruitful_a and_o frugal_a and_o love_v to_o her_o husband_n she_o be_v so_o good_a and_o kind_a a_o mother_n to_o her_o child_n that_o many_o think_v she_o too_o good_a sure_o i_o be_o that_o it_o can_v not_o be_v charge_v upon_o she_o as_o it_o be_v upon_o some_o parent_n that_o they_o be_v without_o natural_a affection_n or_o that_o her_o heart_n be_v harden_v towards_o her_o young_a i_o rather_o suppose_v that_o if_o all_o young_a woman_n have_v be_v like_o she_o the_o apostle_n paul_n will_v hardly_o have_v give_v it_o in_o charge_n to_o timothy_n to_o lesson_n old_a woman_n to_o teach_v the_o young_a one_o to_o love_v their_o child_n to_o conclude_v her_o character_n as_o to_o her_o verue_n and_o grace_n i_o may_v say_v of_o she_o she_o ponder_v god_n word_n with_o the_o bless_a virgin_n mary_n believe_v with_o the_o woman_n of_o canaan_n be_v

her_o grandfather_n the_o lord_n horatio_n vere_n baron_n of_o tilbury_n the_o charity_n and_o bounty_n of_o her_o father_n sir_n roger_n townshend_n the_o zeal_n of_o her_o brother_n sir_n roger_n for_o god_n good_a man_n and_o good_a minister_n and_o now_o madam_n with_o your_o favour_n let_v i_o tell_v they_o that_o never_o see_v her_o face_n if_o this_o paper_n ever_o come_v to_o their_o

because_o grace_n be_v the_o gospel-beauty_n and_o so_o madam_n let_v i_o conclude_v her_o character_n she_o be_v a_o gentlewoman_n of_o great_a part_n of_o a_o very_a quick_a wit_n of_o a_o ready_a
