our_o honourable_a chancellor_n it_o be_v his_o special_a care_n to_o substitute_v such_o under_o he_o as_o be_v most_o sound_a for_o religion_n which_o the_o wise_a sort_n do_v observe_v although_o common_a man_n do_v not_o mark_v it_o as_o he_o keep_v down_o with_o the_o one_o hand_n all_o novelty_n and_o humour_n in_o opinion_n which_o labour_v to_o set_v trouble_n in_o the_o church_n and_o commonwealth_n so_o with_o the_o other_o hand_n to_o the_o uttermost_a of_o his_o power_n he_o depress_v the_o priest_n and_o jesuit_n which_o have_v use_v too_o much_o to_o that_o place_n not_o to_o the_o university_n which_o god_n be_v praise_v be_v free_a from_o all_o such_o imputation_n but_o to_o some_o few_o of_o the_o city_n who_o embrace_v their_o old_a superstition_n in_o that_o place_n this_o i_o can_v witness_v that_o his_o lordship_n neither_o open_o nor_o secret_o do_v ever_o give_v countenance_n unto_o any_o that_o be_v backward_o in_o religion_n and_o on_o the_o other_o side_n that_o there_o be_v never_o any_o thing_n sober_o and_o wise_o propose_v which_o may_v forward_o true_a piety_n which_o his_o lordship_n do_v not_o further_o as_o i_o can_v by_o many_o particular_n make_v plain_a to_o whosoever_o touch_v the_o education_n of_o those_o honourable_a plant_n his_o grandchild_n his_o lordship_n be_v ever_o careful_a that_o they_o shall_v be_v train_v up_o in_o the_o truth_n of_o religion_n far_o from_o popery_n and_o idolatry_n his_o charge_n be_v unto_o their_o tutor_n as_o i_o well_o know_v in_o his_o life_n time_n that_o as_o he_o will_v answer_v he_o in_o the_o day_n of_o the_o last_o judgement_n before_o the_o face_n of_o christ_n that_o he_o shall_v train_v they_o up_o in_o the_o truth_n of_o the_o religion_n profess_v now_o in_o england_n how_o angry_a will_v he_o be_v when_o he_o be_v at_o his_o country_n house_n if_o they_o come_v not_o due_o to_o prayer_n he_o never_o can_v endure_v that_o they_o otherwise_o shall_v be_v match_v than_o where_o be_v sound_a religion_n concern_v his_o own_o soul_n when_o the_o last_o year_n he_o be_v sick_a beside_o ordinary_a prayer_n he_o compose_v himself_o to_o god_n by_o horseley_n receive_v

in_o his_o lordship_n own_o house_n chapel_n nay_o to_o let_v all_o other_o thing_n pass_v how_o holy_o and_o christianly_o in_o his_o last_o will_n and_o testament_n do_v he_o commend_v his_o soul_n unto_o god_n i_o must_v profess_v when_o i_o see_v it_o first_o it_o do_v very_o much_o affect_v i_o and_o because_o it_o can_v choose_v but_o give_v very_o full_a contentment_n to_o all_o reasonable_o mind_v yea_o perhaps_o may_v do_v much_o good_a unto_o other_o by_o the_o example_n i_o think_v it_o not_o amiss_o to_o read_v the_o very_a word_n that_o his_o own_o hand_n have_v

at_o the_o foot_n of_o my_o creator_n redeemer_n and_o saviour_n render_v unto_o his_o divine_a majesty_n my_o most_o lowly_a hearty_a and_o infinite_a thanks_o in_o that_o he_o have_v vouchsafe_v to_o create_v i_o a_o man_n endue_v and_o infuse_v with_o soul_n and_o reason_n and_o fashion_v like_a unto_o the_o image_n of_o his_o own_o eternal_a son_n that_o may_v have_v make_v i_o a_o
