his_o age_n and_o time_n the_o man_n i_o think_v be_v not_o to_o be_v find_v that_o can_v just_o accuse_v he_o or_o blast_v his_o reputation_n or_o honour_n by_o just_o charge_v he_o with_o dissimulation_n ot_fw-mi fraud_n or_o unfaithfulness_n or_o lie_v or_o incontinency_n or_o drunkenness_n or_o swear_v or_o any_o other_o notorious_a vice_n i_o have_v have_v the_o happiness_n to_o be_v frequent_o near_o he_o and_o often_o in_o the_o hear_n of_o he_o for_o a_o dozen_o year_n together_o yet_o do_v i_o never_o that_o i_o remember_v hear_v any_o obscene_a or_o filthy_a communication_n come_v from_o his_o mouth_n nor_o observe_v he_o upon_o any_o provocation_n let_v any_o one_o of_o those_o many_o oath_n escape_v his_o lip_n that_o many_o man_n now_o adays_o reckon_v and_o look_v upon_o as_o the_o great_a if_o not_o only_a ornament_n and_o grace_n of_o their_o discourse_n but_o it_o be_v not_o enough_o to_o be_v extra_fw-la vitia_fw-la without_o any_o nororious_a vice_n god_n will_v not_o be_v satisfy_v with_o a_o negative_a holiness_n we_o must_v not_o only_o cease_v to_o do_v evil_a but_o learn_v to_o do_v well_o isa_n 1._o and_o so_o do_v he_o and_o that_o you_o may_v take_v a_o short_a view_n of_o his_o virtue_n i_o shall_v present_v he_o brief_o to_o you_o in_o all_o or_o most_o of_o his_o remarkable_a relation_n and_o offer_v to_o your_o consideration_n how_o he_o do_v carry_v himself_o towards_o his_o correlate_n and_o then_o i_o admonish_v and_o beseech_v you_o to_o go_v and_o do_v likewise_o 1._o consider_v he_o as_o a_o christian_a and_o how_o he_o behave_v himself_o towards_o god_n both_o in_o the_o time_n of_o his_o health_n and_o sickness_n while_o god_n enable_v he_o to_o come_v hither_o we_o seldom_o very_o seldom_o miss_v his_o early_a company_n here_o he_o be_v resolve_v that_o god_n love_v the_o gate_n of_o zion_n more_o than_o all_o the_o dwelling_n of_o jacob_n and_o will_v not_o be_v put_v off_o with_o our_o pretence_n of_o do_v our_o devotion_n in_o our_o closet_n when_o he_o expect_v we_o in_o the_o church_n nor_o be_v his_o devotion_n personate_v and_o put_v on_o to_o deceive_v the_o world_n but_o he_o take_v his_o time_n for_o private_a as_o well_o as_o public_a performance_n as_o i_o have_v tell_v you_o before_o in_o his_o sickness_n those_o three_o christian_a grace_n of_o faith_n hope_n and_o charity_n be_v very_o remarkable_a he_o signify_v his_o charity_n in_o forgive_a all_o that_o have_v do_v he_o any_o injury_n and_o desire_v to_o be_v reconcile_v to_o all_o betwixt_o who_o and_o himself_o there_o have_v be_v any_o misunderstanding_n and_o debate_n his_o faith_n and_o hope_n he_o express_v to_o my_o unworthy_a self_n in_o private_a while_o he_o be_v able_a affirm_v he_o do_v firm_o rely_v on_o the_o merit_n and_o mediation_n of_o his_o saviour_n jesus_n and_o through_o he_o hope_v for_o a_o glorious_a resurrection_n and_o in_o this_o faith_n and_o hope_n he_o earnest_o desire_v and_o receive_v both_o the_o absolution_n of_o the_o church_n and_o the_o sacrament_n of_o the_o supper_n of_o the_o lord_n when_o his_o tongue_n have_v fail_v to_o do_v its_o office_n and_o we_o perceive_v that_o he_o endure_v a_o great_a fight_n of_o affliction_n that_o the_o lord_n delay_v his_o come_n and_o death_n make_v but_o slow_a though_o sure_a approach_n i_o do_v as_o i_o think_v i_o be_v in_o duty_n bind_v advise_v he_o to_o search_v his_o own_o heart_n whether_o there_o be_v any_o thing_n yet_o undo_v that_o god_n expect_v he_o shall_v do_v before_o he_o call_v he_o hence_o and_o that_o he_o will_v signify_v to_o we_o by_o some_o token_n whether_o he_o hope_v that_o his_o peace_n be_v perfect_v and_o his_o conscience_n quire_n whereupon_o he_o look_v upon_o we_o with_o a_o more_o cheerful_a countenance_n than_o it_o be_v ordinary_a for_o a_o die_a man_n to_o manifest_v and_o then_o cast_v up_o his_o eye_n to_o heaven_n he_o lay_v his_o hand_n upon_o his_o heart_n seem_v to_o say_v that_o all_o be_v quiet_a there_o and_o that_o he_o die_v in_o peace_n and_o rest_v in_o hope_n his_o piety_n and_o devotion_n all_o along_o his_o sickness_n be_v very_o exemplary_a he_o act_v his_o part_n in_o all_o the_o prayer_n and_o that_o with_o a_o strong_a and_o more_o cheerful_a voice_n than_o we_o conceive_v he_o have_v be_v able_a to_o utter_v or_o do_v utter_v upon_o any_o other_o occasion_n the_o last_o word_n as_o i_o remember_v that_o i_o hear_v he_o say_v be_v amen_o to_o our_o prayer_n but_o he_o move_v his_o lip_n when_o he_o can_v not_o use_v his_o tongue_n to_o do_v that_o office_n which_o yet_o hold_v out_o beyond_o our_o expectation_n and_o fail_v he_o not_o till_o very_o near_o his_o end_n and_o as_o his_o piety_n be_v great_a towards_o god_n so_o be_v god_n mercy_n towards_o he_o for_o though_o the_o stroke_n light_n on_o almost_o all_o the_o one_o side_n of_o his_o body_n it_o miss_v his_o brain_n so_o that_o by_o god_n great_a goodness_n he_o enjoy_v the_o use_n of_o his_o intellectual_n and_o all_o or_o most_o of_o his_o sense_n in_o a_o wonderful_a vigour_n and_o acuteness_n towards_o his_o very_a latter_a end_n insomuch_o that_o he_o can_v hear_v our_o very_a whisper_n distinguish_v his_o drink_n see_v and_o know_v his_o visitant_n beyond_o the_o expectation_n of_o his_o friend_n and_o perhaps_o beyond_o the_o belief_n of_o stranger_n and_o as_o his_o piety_n so_o be_v his_o patience_n very_o remarkable_a he_o do_v endure_v much_o and_o long_a but_o complain_v little_a or_o nothing_o at_o all_o oh_o i_o i_o be_o sick_a very_o sick_a oh_o i_o i_o be_o full_a of_o pain_n be_v all_o that_o can_v he_o say_v come_v from_o he_o tend_v towards_o a_o complaint_n you_o have_v hear_v of_o the_o patience_n of_o job_n say_v st._n james_n c._n 5._o yes_o we_o have_v hear_v of_o job_n patience_n and_o many_o of_o we_o have_v see_v he_o and_o i_o think_v those_o that_o have_v see_v and_o observe_v it_o will_v say_v they_o never_o see_v his_o christian_a patience_n &_o fortitude_n equal_v much_o less_o exceed_v 2._o consider_v he_o next_o in_o the_o relation_n of_o a_o subject_a concern_v which_o i_o need_v to_o say_v but_o little_a because_o you_o all_o or_o most_o of_o you_o know_v his_o loyalty_n and_o fidelity_n to_o his_o sovereign_n as_o well_o as_o myself_o only_o let_v i_o mind_n you_o that_o in_o the_o last_o engagement_n in_o this_o county_n he_o do_v not_o public_o appear_v until_o there_o be_v great_a cause_n to_o doubt_v if_o not_o despair_v of_o any_o good_a success_n which_o be_v a_o argument_n there_o be_v no_o other_o motive_n but_o mere_a loyalty_n and_o conscience_n that_o draw_v he_o to_o hazard_v himself_o his_o son_n that_o accompany_v he_o and_o his_o estate_n rather_o than_o he_o will_v incur_v the_o suspicion_n of_o be_v backward_o to_o do_v his_o king_n and_o country_n service_n 3._o consider_v he_o as_o a_o son_n 1_o a_o son_n of_o the_o church_n who_o peace_n he_o be_v very_o careful_a to_o maintain_v &_o who_o order_n he_o be_v ready_a to_o observe_v and_o as_o god_n give_v he_o a_o very_a dutiful_a affection_n to_o his_o mother_n the_o church_n so_o he_o make_v the_o church_n service_n serviceable_a &_o comfortable_a unto_o he_o i_o can_v think_v it_o possible_a that_o one_o that_o do_v not_o real_o delight_v in_o &_o reciprocal_o find_v comfort_n by_o the_o service_n of_o the_o church_n shall_v so_o frequent_o and_o cheerful_o join_v and_o bear_v a_o part_n in_o it_o as_o he_o do_v notwithstanding_o all_o the_o obstacle_n and_o impediment_n of_o pain_n and_o sickness_n which_o be_v a_o argument_n that_o the_o church_n service_n be_v not_o so_o faulty_a as_o ourselves_o and_o that_o we_o may_v take_v pleasure_n in_o it_o &_o reap_v profit_n by_o it_o if_o our_o own_o corrupt_a heart_n be_v not_o indispose_v and_o out_o of_o order_n i_o confess_v we_o owe_v much_o to_o his_o example_n if_o our_o congregation_n be_v in_o practice_n any_o thing_n more_o observant_a of_o the_o church_n order_n than_o some_o of_o our_o neighbour_n let_v the_o contemptible_a priest_n as_o some_o call_v we_o in_o scorn_n say_v what_o they_o will_v or_o can_v the_o peremptory_a vulgar_a will_v do_v as_o they_o listen_v if_o their_o better_n will_v not_o believe_v we_o they_o will_v despise_v we_o if_o a_o man_n of_o authority_n honour_n or_o worship_n will_v not_o be_v persuade_v to_o change_v his_o posture_n but_o keep_v his_o seat_n they_o will_v use_v neither_o leg_n nor_o knee_n unless_o it_o be_v to_o cross_v the_o church_n in_o her_o direction_n and_o command_n but_o believe_v it_o gentleman_n it_o be_v no_o disparagement_n to_o use_v your_o own_o tongue_n to_o make_v confession_n of_o and_o cry_v god_n mercy_n for_o your_o own_o
