the_o die_a man_n last_o legacy_n or_o pious_a and_o affectionate_a exhortation_n to_o a_o holy_a life_n as_o it_o be_v leave_v by_o a_o die_a man_n to_o his_o wife_n child_n and_o servant_n for_o

of_o terrible_n since_o it_o be_v so_o perfect_o opposite_a to_o nature_n and_o life_n be_v that_o which_o every_o individual_a animal_n so_o much_o cover_v to_o maintain_v for_o i_o will_v fain_o know_v and_o see_v that_o man_n that_o be_v a_o rational_a creature_n who_o when_o that_o minute_n come_v wherein_o there_o will_v be_v a_o total_a dissolution_n of_o soul_n and_o body_n and_o a_o perfect_a annihilation_n of_o his_o worldly_a be_v do_v not_o either_o receive_v it_o with_o great_a regret_n or_o else_o with_o fear_n and_o tremble_v and_o if_o it_o be_v so_o that_o the_o heathen_n have_v such_o a_o sense_n of_o this_o dismal_a hour_n that_o know_v nothing_o they_o be_v to_o give_v a_o account_n of_o upon_o their_o departure_n well_o may_v those_o dread_v it_o who_o have_v

must_v immediate_o upon_o their_o expiration_n give_v a_o severe_a and_o strict_a account_n of_o they_o further_o call_v hora_n mortis_fw-la hora_n virtutis_fw-la and_o i_o be_o sure_a and_o every_o good_a christian_a will_v acquiess_v with_o i_o it_o ought_v to_o be_v so_o with_o every_o christian_a that_o intend_v to_o see_v the_o face_n of_o god_n and_o his_o ever_o bless_a redeemer_n with_o

which_o nothing_o more_o uncertain_a the_o eternal_a god_n reserve_v it_o whole_o to_o himself_o that_o we_o may_v be_v always_o in_o a_o readiness_n and_o not_o in_o the_o least_o concern_v or_o

at_o the_o severe_a and_o heavy_a dispensation_n of_o the_o almighty_a who_o know_v what_o be_v best_a for_o every_o one_o and_o no_o doubt_n lay_v it_o upon_o i_o to_o bring_v i_o to_o himself_o

they_o iii_o let_v not_o the_o consideration_n of_o the_o way_n be_v straight_o and_o cover_v with_o thorn_n and_o brier_n in_o the_o least_o dismay_n or_o perplex_v thou_o but_o consider_v that_o the_o happiness_n and_o enjoyment_n will_v be_v much_o more_o sweet_a and_o pleasant_a consider_v that_o through_o this_o rugged_a path_n god_n bring_v all_o his_o servant_n unto_o their_o

little_a in_o comparison_n of_o those_o innumerable_a blessing_n and_o happiness_n we_o shall_v enjoy_v with_o he_o for_o ever_o and_o ever_o iv_o let_v your_o private_a prayer_n and_o access_n to_o the_o throne_n of_o grace_n be_v often_o be_v no_o stranger_n at_o the_o gate_n of_o mercy_n while_o there_o be_v a_o ear_n of_o favour_n open_a and_o be_v encourage_v since_o god_n hear_v the_o cry_n of_o the_o widow_n to_o defend_v she_o from_o all_o danger_n v._o be_v also_o frequent_a in_o read_v and_o consult_v the_o holy_a scripture_n they_o be_v the_o oracle_n of_o truth_n and_o there_o you_o may_v find_v the_o treasure_n of_o wisdom_n and_o knowledge_n thence_o you_o may_v suck_v promise_n that_o will_v be_v as_o milk_n flow_v from_o the_o breast_n of_o true_a consolation_n oh_o can_v i_o say_v it_o true_o that_o from_o those_o fountain_n have_v stream_v such_o cordial_n into_o my_o soul_n as_o now_o enable_v i_o to_o go_v through_o with_o this_o great_a sharpness_n of_o death_n vi_o then_o for_o thy_o servant_n besure_n that_o they_o that_o abide_v in_o thy_o house_n may_v be_v such_o as_o be_v of_o honest_a conversation_n that_o in_o their_o life_n they_o may_v adorn_v the_o doctrine_n of_o god_n our_o saviour_n in_o all_o thing_n and_o be_v sure_a thy_o own_o example_n may_v be_v a_o direction_n to_o they_o and_o reproof_n also_o if_o they_o do_v amiss_o this_o i_o think_v fit_a to_o leave_v for_o your_o direction_n in_o the_o relation_n of_o a_o mother_n and_o governess_n of_o thy_o family_n but_o because_o the_o word_n of_o a_o father_n decease_a may_v have_v some_o influence_n on_o my_o dear_a child_n to_o they_o therefore_o i_o shall_v leave_v something_o as_o a_o father_n legacy_n among_o they_o vii_o as_o a_o mother_n besure_n you_o bring_v up_o your_o child_n in_o the_o nurture_n and_o fear_n of_o the_o lord_n and_o if_o so_o you_o need_v not_o be_v solicitous_a for_o they_o for_o god_n have_v promise_v to_o provide_v for_o and_o take_v care_n of_o those_o that_o fear_v he_o be_v not_o over_o indulgent_a for_o the_o spare_v the_o rod_n have_v often_o spoil_v the_o child_n let_v not_o thy_o eye_n pity_v the_o correction_n of_o thy_o child_n first_o give_v it_o so_o that_o they_o may_v be_v sure_a to_o enable_v all_o those_o godly_a exhortation_n and_o admonition_n which_o you_o shall_v give_v they_o from_o time_n to_o time_n and_o when_o they_o come_v to_o year_n it_o will_v never_o be_v forget_v for_o train_n up_o a_o child_n in_o the_o way_n he_o shall_v go_v and_o when_o he_o be_v old_a he_o will_v not_o depart_v from_o it_o i_o can_v add_v many_o thing_n but_o my_o time_n be_v short_a i_o be_o force_v to_o be_v so_o too_o but_o because_o as_o i_o say_v before_o the_o word_n of_o die_a man_n have_v a_o more_o than_o ordinary_a influence_n upon_o the_o surviver_n especialty_n where_o they_o admit_v of_o so_o near_o a_o relation_n i_o shall_v therefore_o conclude_v with_o this_o short_a moiety_n to_o my_o child_n my_o dear_a child_n though_o you_o be_v but_o young_a and_o tender_a yet_o when_o you_o come_v to_o year_n of_o discretion_n than_o you_o may_v think_v of_o and_o put_v in_o practice_n this_o last_o advice_n of_o your_o die_a father_n be_v obedient_a to_o your_o mother_n in_o all_o thing_n lest_o you_o add_v to_o her_o present_a affliction_n to_o who_o i_o refer_v you_o

high_a by_o the_o wing_n of_o ambition_n have_v fall_v under_o hard_a destiny_n and_o let_v they_o be_v as_o a_o seamark_n that_o you_o may_v avoid_v split_v on_o that_o rock_n which_o be_v their_o
