m_o r_n elizabeth_z gaunt'_v last_o speech_n who_o be_v burn_v at_o london_n oct._n 23._o 1685._o as_o it_o be_v write_v by_o she_o own_o hand_n &_o deliver_v to_o capt._n richardson_n keeper_n of_o newgate_n not_o know_v whether_o i_o shall_v be_v suffer_v or_o able_a because_o of_o weakness_n that_o be_v upon_o i_o through_o my_o hard_a &_o close_a imprisonment_n to_o speak_v at_o the_o place_n of_o execution_n i_o have_v write_v these_o few_o line_n to_o fignify_v that_o i_o be_o reconcile_v to_o the_o way_n of_o my_o god_n towards_o i_o though_o it_o be_v in_o way_n i_o look_v not_o for_o &_o by_o terrible_a thing_n yet_o in_o righteousness_n for_o have_v give_v i_o life_n he_o ought_v to_o have_v the_o dispose_n of_o it_o when_o &_o where_o he_o please_v to_o call_v for_o it_o and_o i_o desire_v to_o offer_v up_o my_o all_o to_o he_o it_o be_v but_o my_o reasonable_a service_n &_o also_o the_o first_o term_n christ_n offer_v that_o he_o that_o will_v be_v his_o disciple_n must_v forsake_v all_o &_o follow_v he_o and_o therefore_o let_v none_o think_v hard_a or_o be_v discourage_v at_o what_o have_v happen_v unto_o i_o for_o he_o do_v nothing_o without_o cause_n in_o all_o that_o he_o have_v do_v unto_o we_o he_o be_v holy_a in_o all_o his_o way_n &_o righteous_a in_o all_o his_o work_n and_o it_o be_v but_o my_o lott_n in_o common_a with_o poor_a desolate_a zion_n at_o this_o day_n neither_o do_v i_o find_v in_o my_o heart_n the_o least_o regret_n for_o any_o thing_n that_o i_o have_v do_v in_o the_o service_n of_o my_o lord_n &_o mr._n c._n jesus_n in_o secure_v &_o succour_v any_o of_o his_o poor_a sufferer_n that_o have_v show_v favour_n to_o his_o righteous_a cause_n which_o cause_n though_o it_o be_v now_o fall_v &_o trample_v on_o as_o if_o it_o have_v not_o be_v anoint_a yet_o it_o shall_v revive_v &_o god_n will_v plead_v it_o at_o another_o rate_n than_o ever_o he_o have_v do_v yet_o with_o all_o its_o opposer_n &_o malicious_a hater_n and_o therefore_o let_v all_o that_o love_n &_o fear_v he_o not_o omit_v the_o least_o duty_n that_o come_v to_o hand_n or_o lie_v before_o they_o know_v that_o now_o christ_n have_v need_n of_o they_o &_o expect_v they_o shall_v serve_v he_o &_o i_o desire_v to_o bless_v his_o holy_a name_n that_o he_o have_v make_v i_o useful_a in_o my_o generation_n to_o the_o comfort_n &_o relief_n of_o many_o desolate_a one_o that_o the_o blessing_n of_o those_o that_o be_v ready_a to_o perish_v have_v come_v upon_o i_o &_o be_v help_v to_o make_v the_o heart_n of_o the_o widow_n to_o sing_v &_o i_o bless_v his_o holy_a name_n that_o in_o all_o this_o together_o with_o what_o i_o be_v charge_v with_o i_o can_v approve_v my_o heart_n to_o he_o that_o i_o have_v do_v his_o will_n though_o it_o do_v cross_v man_n will_n and_o the_o scripture_n which_o satisfy_v i_o be_v isaiah_n 16._o 3_o 4._o hide_v the_o outcast_n bewray_v not_o he_o that_o wander_v be_v thou_o a_o covert_n to_o they_o from_o

call_v alas_o it_o be_v but_o a_o little_a one_o &_o may_v well_o become_v a_o prince_n to_o forgive_v but_o he_o that_o show_v no_o mercy_n shall_v find_v none_o and_o i_o may_v say_v of_o it_o in_o the_o language_n of_o jonathan_n i_o do_v but_o taste_v a_o little_a honey_n &_o lo_o i_o must_v die_v for_o it_o i_o do_v but_o relieve_v a_o unworthy_a poor_a distress_a family_n &_o lo_o i_o must_v die_v for_o it_o well_o i_o desire_v in_o the_o lamblike_a nature_n of_o the_o gospel_n to_o forgive_v all_o that_o be_v concern_v &_o to_o say_v lord_n lay_v it_o not_o to_o their_o charge_n but_o
