blessing_n be_v a_o encouragement_n to_o this_o too_o much_o neglect_v duty_n of_o christian_a conference_n there_o be_v a_o honest_a able_a minister_n who_o within_o these_o two_o year_n tell_v i_o it_o for_o a_o piece_n of_o news_n and_o indeed_o it_o be_v welcome_a news_n to_o i_o and_o it_o be_v this_o that_o in_o the_o knight_n family_n with_o who_o he_o live_v the_o knight_n be_v of_o good_a quality_n and_o repute_n there_o be_v a_o maidservant_n he_o very_o believe_v fear_v god_n in_o that_o family_n which_o to_o use_v his_o own_o word_n date_v her_o conversion_n from_o my_o discourse_n with_o she_o walk_v up_o highgate_n hill_n together_o whereupon_o i_o remember_v that_o about_o four_o year_n since_o i_o come_v from_o london_n in_o a_o hackny-coach_n for_o st._n alban_n and_o there_o be_v a_o gentlewoman_n i_o will_v spare_v her_o name_n with_o this_o her_o maid_n and_o other_o the_o gentlewoman_n be_v able_a and_o willing_o maintain_v good_a discourse_n on_o the_o way_n and_o it_o be_v a_o cold_a morning_n i_o at_o the_o bottom_n of_o the_o hill_n go_v out_o of_o the_o coach_n to_o walk_v up_o the_o hill_n and_o warm_v myself_o thereby_o when_o i_o be_v out_o the_o maid_n ask_v leave_v of_o her_o mistress_n who_o stay_v in_o the_o coach_n that_o she_o be_v cold_a may_v go_v up_o the_o hill_n also_o which_o she_o do_v and_o we_o talk_v together_o as_o we_o go_v and_o i_o think_v the_o sum_n of_o my_o discourse_n be_v our_o misery_n by_o nature_n our_o disability_n to_o help_v ourselves_o by_o any_o thing_n we_o can_v do_v or_o suffer_v that_o there_o be_v a_o absolute_a indispensable_a necessity_n of_o get_v a_o interest_n in_o christ_n who_o be_v infinite_o able_a and_o willing_a to_o save_v every_o poor_a lose_a soul_n that_o come_v unto_o he_o by_o believe_v and_o to_o this_o purpose_n both_o in_o coach_n and_o in_o walk_v which_o the_o only_a wise_a and_o infinite_o gracious_a lord_n god_n it_o bless_v for_o the_o spiritual_a and_o eternal_a good_a of_o this_o poor_a handmaid_n for_o which_o let_v his_o holy_a name_n be_v for_o ever_o glorify_v and_o let_v all_o good_a christian_n take_v from_o hence_o encouragement_n to_o be_v yet_o more_o and_o more_o abound_v in_o holy_a talk_n and_o conference_n sow_v this_o seed_n in_o the_o morning_n and_o in_o the_o evening_n not_o withhold_v their_o hand_n who_o know_v but_o the_o

necessary_a and_o undeniable_a consequence_n it_o must_v be_v also_o sovereign_o efficacious_a for_o the_o strengthen_n of_o the_o feeble_a mind_v and_o comfort_v of_o such_o as_o be_v cast_v down_o
