notwithstanding_o all_o those_o threat_n denounce_v against_o we_o for_o conform_v to_o the_o superstition_n of_o the_o church_n i_o do_v not_o doubt_v but_o we_o shall_v find_v as_o fair_a and_o ready_a acceptance_n at_o the_o last_o day_n as_o any_o of_o these_o hotspur_n can_v promise_v to_o themselves_o but_o this_o be_v not_o all_o that_o i_o have_v to_o plead_v for_o myself_o and_o this_o present_a undertake_n i_o have_v continue_v and_o live_v in_o that_o famous_a city_n of_o london_n for_o many_o year_n and_o receive_v very_o considerable_a mark_n of_o kindness_n from_o many_o of_o the_o inhabitant_n thereof_o and_o therefore_o think_v myself_o bind_v in_o gratitude_n to_o do_v any_o thing_n that_o may_v contribute_v towards_o its_o happiness_n and_o welfare_n and_o upon_o a_o just_a survey_n of_o the_o influence_n of_o fanatical_a principle_n upon_o the_o mind_n of_o many_o man_n i_o can_v not_o wind_v myself_o out_o of_o a_o persuasion_n but_o that_o these_o practice_n will_v soon_o or_o late_a be_v the_o occasion_n of_o much_o mischief_n to_o that_o ancient_a metropolis_n it_o be_v the_o custom_n of_o the_o free_a denizen_n of_o that_o place_n former_o to_o attend_v those_o public_a ordinance_n which_o be_v administer_v in_o their_o own_o parish_n church_n by_o their_o own_o legal_o settle_a minister_n and_o grave_o to_o the_o admiration_n of_o all_o stranger_n who_o either_o out_o of_o curiosity_n or_o business_n visit_v that_o place_n to_o walk_v to_o those_o place_n in_o the_o head_n of_o their_o family_n and_o the_o subordinate_a member_n thereof_o in_o their_o several_a rank_n and_o order_n follow_v after_o and_o all_o of_o they_o use_v the_o same_o decorum_n in_o their_o return_v home_o now_o beside_o the_o reputation_n this_o give_v to_o the_o city_n there_o be_v a_o bridle_n by_o it_o put_v into_o the_o mouth_n of_o youth_n and_o while_o in_o their_o master_n eye_n they_o be_v oblige_v to_o carry_v themselves_o in_o those_o public_a place_n of_o worship_n as_o become_v the_o solemnity_n and_o with_o that_o reverence_n and_o attention_n that_o such_o approach_n to_o so_o great_a a_o be_v as_o god_n be_v call_v for_o at_o their_o hand_n a_o custom_n certain_o which_o be_v the_o foundation_n of_o great_a proportion_n of_o virtue_n and_o goodness_n and_o very_o instrumental_a to_o season_v the_o mind_n of_o young_a one_o with_o such_o principle_n as_o may_v give_v very_o great_a hope_n to_o their_o parent_n as_o well_o as_o other_o of_o their_o future_a well_o do_v in_o the_o world_n of_o their_o be_v ornament_n to_o the_o city_n as_o well_o as_o comfort_n to_o their_o relation_n but_o since_o every_o man_n who_o can_v not_o live_v in_o the_o country_n have_v have_v confidence_n enough_o to_o set_v up_o for_o a_o public_a teacher_n in_o the_o city_n and_o every_o corner_n almost_o of_o the_o street_n have_v tempt_v man_n with_o new_a face_n and_o new_a voice_n alas_o this_o excellent_a custom_n have_v be_v very_o much_o lay_v aside_o and_o what_o will_v be_v the_o noisome_a and_o pestilent_a consequence_n of_o it_o i_o dread_v to_o think_v for_o when_o the_o master_n run_v one_o way_n and_z mistress_z another_z and_o every_o servant_n have_v the_o liberty_n of_o gratify_v his_o own_o humour_n and_o please_v his_o own_o fancy_n it_o be_v impossible_a there_o shall_v be_v order_n keep_v under_o that_o roof_n or_o that_o a_o house_n so_o divide_v against_o itself_o shall_v long_o stand_v in_o peace_n and_o from_o hence_o must_v needs_o proceed_v pride_n and_o censoriousness_n quarrel_v one_o among_o another_o about_o the_o best_a man_n and_o the_o best_a way_n and_o sometime_o contempt_n of_o the_o master_n on_o the_o servant_n side_n because_o he_o be_v not_o so_o full_o enlighten_v as_o to_o hear_v and_o savour_v such_o a_o precious_a man_n as_o he_o himself_o do_v i_o and_o it_o may_v be_v make_v for_o morality_n be_v a_o sorry_a thing_n with_o many_o of_o these_o man_n the_o next_o bargain_n in_o his_o master_n shop_n pay_v for_o his_o last_o sabbath_n profit_v by_o the_o savoury_a doctrine_n of_o such_o a_o search_a preacher_n but_o these_o be_v not_o the_o only_a impeachment_n i_o design_v against_o these_o course_n we_o all_o know_v very_o well_o that_o that_o part_n of_o a_o man_n age_n in_o which_o usual_o he_o be_v a_o servant_n be_v a_o part_n wherein_o the_o proritation_n of_o nature_n begin_v to_o be_v strong_a and_o violent_a and_o young_a man_n inclination_n very_o eager_a after_o such_o object_n as_o be_v suitable_a to_o their_o sense_n and_o deprave_a desire_n and_o now_o what_o if_o these_o young_a man_n in_o their_o journey_n through_o those_o several_a street_n with_o purpose_n to_o hear_v this_o or_o the_o other_o man_n shall_v be_v invite_v into_o a_o tavern_n or_o a_o worse_a house_n by_o idle_a companion_n nay_o what_o if_o some_o of_o they_o shall_v make_v it_o their_o pretence_n to_o their_o master_n pure_o to_o get_v opportunity_n to_o indulge_v themselves_o in_o such_o brutish_a and_o sensual_a enjoyment_n will_v it_o not_o be_v far_o better_a to_o have_v see_v they_o safe_o lodge_v in_o their_o parish_n church_n i_o sure_o this_o be_v without_o dispute_n and_o though_o it_o may_v be_v some_o may_v say_v this_o be_v a_o uncharitable_a and_o irreligious_a suggestion_n of_o my_o own_o yet_o let_v they_o not_o provoke_v i_o too_o much_o lest_o i_o prove_v it_o by_o plain_a instance_n and_o alack_o when_o youth_n before_o they_o have_v enter_v into_o serious_a consideration_n of_o thing_n before_o they_o have_v have_v time_n to_o make_v such_o observation_n as_o will_v be_v helpful_a to_o their_o future_a carriage_n and_o deportment_n in_o the_o world_n before_o the_o notice_n of_o religion_n which_o they_o receive_v in_o their_o first_o education_n be_v fetch_v from_o the_o brain_n and_o settle_v in_o the_o heart_n when_o youth_n i_o say_v by_o such_o carelessness_n of_o their_o master_n have_v wear_v off_o the_o modesty_n of_o their_o mind_n and_o contract_v habit_n of_o sin_n what_o will_v be_v the_o end_n of_o it_o but_o dishonesty_n to_o their_o master_n grief_n to_o their_o relation_n and_o ruin_n to_o themselves_o i_o know_v this_o thing_n will_v be_v very_o grievous_a to_o many_o who_o purse_n as_o well_o as_o meeting-place_n be_v fill_v by_o such_o company_n but_o i_o will_v assure_v they_o the_o reflection_n upon_o it_o have_v be_v every_o way_n out_o of_o that_o passionate_a esteem_n i_o have_v for_o that_o famous_a city_n as_o burden_n some_o to_o i_o and_o my_o private_a complaint_n of_o it_o to_o several_a worthy_a citizen_n have_v raise_v in_o they_o a_o fear_v suitable_a to_o i_o own_o of_o the_o inconvenience_n of_o such_o a_o liberty_n to_o youth_n and_o therefore_o let_v i_o conclude_v this_o with_o this_o assertion_n that_o i_o have_v not_o publish_v this_o upon_o the_o score_n of_o any_o spite_n or_o malice_n i_o have_v against_o any_o particular_a man_n who_o differ_v from_o the_o public_a constitution_n but_o pure_o out_o of_o pity_n to_o those_o young_a man_n who_o be_v commit_v to_o the_o care_n and_o government_n of_o such_o master_n who_o by_o virtue_n of_o their_o very_a principle_n put_v their_o servant_n under_o the_o temptation_n of_o be_v ruin_v for_o he_o that_o give_v leave_v to_o such_o raw_a person_n to_o carve_v what_o spiritual_a food_n they_o please_v for_o themselves_o who_o year_n call_v for_o authoritative_a restraint_n and_o prudent_a boundary_n do_v i_o be_o sure_o lend_v a_o help_a hand_n to_o their_o destruction_n and_o further_o i_o hearty_o desire_v these_o master_n to_o consider_v whether_o their_o constant_a disobedience_n to_o authority_n and_o violate_v the_o know_a law_n and_o statute_n of_o the_o realm_n be_v not_o a_o great_a encouragement_n to_o and_o plea_n for_o the_o servant_n rebel_a against_o they_o than_o any_o wise_a man_n will_v put_v into_o their_o hand_n and_o withal_o whether_o the_o justice_n of_o god_n may_v not_o be_v provoke_v to_o chastise_v this_o their_o contempt_n of_o his_o vicegerent_n by_o wicked_a and_o treacherous_a servant_n but_o these_o be_v not_o all_o the_o article_n i_o have_v to_o draw_v up_o against_o these_o way_n of_o separation_n and_o consequent_o not_o the_o whole_a vindication_n i_o

prayer_n and_o preach_n that_o sacred_a and_o separate_a order_n of_o man_n who_o by_o a_o divine_a commission_n be_v dedicate_v to_o serve_v at_o the_o altar_n bring_v into_o a_o general_a dislike_n
