government_n of_o the_o church_n shall_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 for_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-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 lord_n 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 the_o supper_n of_o the_o lord_n that_o seal_a 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 all_o the_o city-minister_n be_v engage_v in_o the_o plot_n as_o it_o be_v call_v that_o i_o be_o condemn_v for_o now_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 the_o business_n for_o which_o i_o be_o to_o be_v put_v to_o death_n 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 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 the_o business_n in_o which_o i_o be_v engage_v in_o which_o my_o conscience_n tell_v i_o i_o have_v not_o sin_v 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 i_o have_v but_o a_o word_n to_o speak_v to_o my_o own_o congregation_n i_o return_v praise_n unto_o god_n and_o thankfulness_n unto_o they_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 judicious_a and_o many_o of_o they_o a_o religious_a people_n the_o ministry_n of_o that_o learned_a man_n mr_n anthony_n burgess_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 that_o 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_n of_o they_o that_o they_o will_v choose_v a_o godly_a learned_a and_o orthodox_n minister_n to_o succeed_v such_o a_o one_o as_o may_v keep_v up_o and_o carry_v on_o church-government_n 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 but_o 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 may_v be_v to_o succeed_v i_o i_o will_v say_v this_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 be_v any_o people_n in_o london_n a_o few_o only_o except_v i_o have_v as_o much_o satisfaction_n among_o they_o as_o ever_o i_o have_v in_o any_o condition_n in_o all_o my_o life_n and_o shall_v never_o have_v part_v from_o they_o have_v not_o death_n now_o part_v we_o to_o which_o i_o do_v submit_v with_o all_o christian_a meekness_n and_o chearfullnesse_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 in_o all_o that_o be_v bring_v upon_o i_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 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 psal_n 44.12_o 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 nought_o i_o may_v do_v more_o good_a by_o my_o death_n then_o by_o my_o life_n and_o glorify_v god_n more_o in_o die_v upon_o a_o scaffold_n then_o if_o i_o have_v die_v of_o a_o disease_n upon_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 do_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 the_o block_n as_o if_o i_o be_v go_v to_o lie_v down_o upon_o my_o bed_n to_o take_v my_o rest_n i_o see_v man_n hunger_n after_o my_o flesh_n and_o thirst_n after_o my_o blood_n let_v they_o have_v it_o it_o will_v hasten_v my_o happiness_n and_o their_o ruin_n and_o greaten_v their_o guiltiness_n though_o i_o be_o a_o man_n of_o a_o obscure_a family_n of_o mean_a parentage_n so_o that_o my_o blood_n be_v not_o as_o the_o blood_n of_o noble_n yet_o i_o will_v say_v it_o be_v a_o christian_n blood_n a_o minister_n blood_n yea_o it_o be_v innocent_a blood_n also_o my_o body_n my_o dead_a body_n it_o will_v be_v a_o

in_o wales_n of_o obscure_a parent_n that_o god_n shall_v look_v upon_o i_o and_o single_v i_o out_o from_o among_o all_o my_o kindred_n to_o be_v a_o object_n of_o his_o everlasting_a love_n that_o whenas_o the_o first_o fourteen_o year_n of_o my_o life_n i_o never_o hear_v a_o sermon_n yet_o in_o the_o fifteen_o year_n of_o my_o life_n god_n through_o his_o grace_n do_v convert_v i_o and_o here_o i_o speak_v it_o without_o vanity_n for_o what_o shall_v a_o die_a man_n be_v proud_a of_o though_o i_o be_o accuse_v of_o many_o scandalous_a evil_n yet_o i_o speak_v to_o the_o praise_n and_o

from_o my_o youth_n up_o i_o magnify_v his_o grace_n that_o he_o have_v not_o only_o make_v i_o a_o christian_n but_o a_o minister_n and_o judge_v i_o faithful_a to_o put_v i_o into_o the_o ministry_n and_o though_o the_o office_n be_v tread_v upon_o and_o disgrace_v yet_o it_o be_v my_o glory_n that_o i_o die_v a_o despise_a minister_n i_o have_v rather_o be_v a_o preacher_n in_o a_o pulpit_n than_o a_o prince_n upon_o a_o throne_n i_o have_v rather_o be_v a_o instrument_n to_o bring_v soul_n to_o heaven_n then_o to_o have_v all_o the_o nation_n bring_v in_o tribute_n to_o i_o i_o be_o not_o only_o a_o christian_n and_o a_o preacher_n but_o whatever_o man_n judge_v i_o be_o a_o martyr_n too_o i_o speak_v it_o without_o vanity_n will_v i_o have_v renounce_v my_o covenant_n and_o
