yet_o my_o prayer_n be_v for_o they_o that_o in_o act._n 4._o 29._o now_o lord_n behold_v their_o threaten_n &_o grant_v that_o thy_o servant_n may_v preach_v thy_o word_n with_o all_o boldness_n though_o i_o be_o but_o young_a yet_o i_o will_v offer_v my_o young_a experience_n to_o my_o grave_a father_n and_o brethren_n and_o that_o be_v this_o now_o i_o be_o to_o die_v i_o have_v abundant_a peace_n in_o my_o own_o conscience_n that_o i_o have_v set_v myself_o against_o the_o sin_n and_o apostasy_n of_o this_o present_a age_n it_o be_v true_a my_o faithfulness_n have_v procure_v i_o ill_o will_v from_o man_n but_o it_o have_v purchase_v i_o peace_n with_o god_n i_o have_v live_v in_o peace_n and_o i_o shall_v die_v in_o peace_n that_o which_o i_o have_v to_o beseech_v of_o the_o minister_n be_v this_o to_o beg_v they_o to_o keep_v up_o church_n government_n whatsoever_o god_n do_v with_o the_o government_n of_o the_o world_n turn_v kingdom_n upside_o down_o yet_o the_o government_n of_o the_o church_n will_v stand_v and_o of_o all_o government_n i_o die_v with_o this_o persuasion_n that_o the_o presbyterial_a government_n make_v most_o for_o purity_n and_o unity_n throughout_o the_o church_n of_o the_o saint_n i_o will_v beg_v they_o therefore_o to_o keep_v up_o church_n government_n that_o they_o will_v not_o let_v their_o elderships_n fall_n that_o they_o will_v take_v heed_n of_o too_o general_a admission_n to_o the_o lords-supper_n that_o they_o be_v not_o too_o prodigal_a of_o the_o blood_n of_o christ_n by_o too_o general_a admission_n of_o man_n to_o partake_v of_o the_o supper_n that_o seal_v ordinance_n and_o now_o i_o be_o speak_v to_o they_o i_o shall_v speak_v a_o word_n of_o they_o and_o so_o i_o have_v do_v i_o have_v hear_v many_o clamour_n since_o i_o come_v to_o prison_n as_o if_o that_o plot_n which_o it_o be_v call_v that_o i_o be_o condemn_v for_o as_o if_o all_o the_o city_n minister_n they_o be_v engage_v in_o this_o design_n which_o as_o a_o die_a man_n i_o tell_v you_o that_o all_o the_o minister_n that_o be_v present_a at_o the_o meeting_n and_o have_v a_o hand_n in_o that_o business_n for_o which_o i_o be_o to_o be_v put_v to_o death_n all_o those_o minister_n they_o be_v either_o in_o prison_n or_o they_o be_v discover_v already_o and_o therefore_o i_o do_v here_o upon_o my_o death_n free_v the_o minister_n of_o the_o city_n that_o those_o who_o be_v not_o yet_o in_o trouble_n nor_o discover_v to_o the_o committee_n of_o examination_n none_o of_o they_o have_v a_o hand_n in_o that_o business_n in_o which_o i_o be_v engage_v in_o which_o my_o conscience_n do_v tell_v i_o i_o have_v not_o sin_v i_o have_v now_o i_o have_v do_v immediate_o for_o i_o will_v fain_o be_v at_o my_o father_n house_n but_o a_o word_n to_o speak_v to_o my_o own_o congregation_n and_o i_o do_v return_v praise_n unto_o god_n and_o thanksgiving_n unto_o he_o for_o the_o love_n i_o have_v have_v from_o they_o i_o find_v they_o a_o solid_a and_o a_o judicious_a people_n and_o many_o of_o they_o religious_a the_o ministry_n of_o that_o learned_a man_n mr._n anthony_n burges_n do_v much_o good_a among_o they_o though_o i_o have_v cause_n to_o be_v humble_v my_o weak_a ministry_n do_v but_o little_a they_o afford_v i_o a_o great_a deal_n of_o love_n and_o a_o liberal_a maintenance_n and_o this_o be_v all_o i_o desire_v of_o they_o that_o they_o will_v choose_v a_o godly_a learned_a and_o a_o orthodox_n minister_n to_o succeed_v it_o will_v be_v a_o great_a comfort_n to_o i_o before_o i_o go_v to_o heaven_n if_o i_o have_v this_o persuasion_n that_o a_o learned_a orthodox_n godly_a man_n shall_v fill_v that_o pulpit_n and_o for_o encouragement_n to_o any_o godly_a minister_n who_o lot_n it_o shall_v be_v to_o succeed_v i_o i_o will_v say_v this_o to_o he_o that_o he_o will_v have_v as_o comfortable_a a_o livelihood_n and_o as_o love_v a_o people_n as_o any_o people_n in_o london_n a_o

not_o now_o death_n part_v we_o to_o which_o i_o do_v submit_v with_o all_o christian_a meekness_n and_o cheerfulness_n i_o be_o now_o draw_v to_o a_o end_n of_o my_o speech_n and_o to_o a_o end_n of_o my_o life_n together_o but_o before_o i_o do_v expire_v my_o last_o breath_n i_o shall_v desire_v to_o justify_v god_n and_o to_o condemn_v myself_o here_o i_o come_v to_o that_o which_o you_o call_v a_o untimely_a end_n and_o a_o shameful_a death_n but_o bless_v be_v god_n it_o be_v my_o glory_n and_o it_o be_v my_o comfort_n i_o shall_v justify_v god_n he_o be_v righteous_a because_o i_o have_v sin_v he_o be_v righteous_a though_o he_o do_v cut_v i_o off_o in_o the_o midst_n of_o my_o day_n and_o in_o the_o midst_n of_o my_o ministry_n i_o can_v complain_v that_o complaint_n in_o the_o psalmist_n in_o the_o 44_o psalm_n thou_o selle_v thy_o people_n for_o nought_o and_o do_v not_o increase_v thy_o wealth_n by_o their_o price_n my_o blood_n it_o shall_v not_o be_v spill_v for_o

my_o bed_n i_o bless_v my_o god_n i_o have_v not_o the_o least_o trouble_n upon_o my_o spirit_n but_o i_o die_v with_o as_o much_o quietness_n of_o mind_n lie_v down_o i_o hope_v i_o shall_v upon_o
