of_o member_n to_o serve_v in_o parliament_n a_o summary_n of_o law_n in_o a_o charge_n to_o the_o grand_a jury_n p._n 645_o xxxii_o a_o poem_n on_o the_o death_n of_o my_o lady_n warrington_n p._n 681_o his_o lordship_n advice_n to_o his_o child_n to_o my_o dear_a son_n have_v live_v in_o a_o age_n where_o a_o few_o month_n have_v produce_v great_a revolution_n and_o trouble_n the_o mischievous_a effect_n of_o which_o have_v fall_v very_o heavy_a as_o well_o upon_o my_o own_o person_n as_o upon_o my_o family_n for_o before_o i_o be_v nine_o year_n old_a i_o see_v my_o father_n a_o close_a prisoner_n in_o the_o tower_n seven_o month_n for_o his_o loyalty_n to_o his_o king_n and_o country_n and_o by_o little_a less_o than_o miracle_n thence_o deliver_v and_o have_v but_o just_a pass_v over_o my_o thirty_o four_o year_n for_o the_o next_o day_n after_o have_v be_v a_o close_a prisoner_n in_o the_o tower_n three_o time_n i_o be_v try_v for_o my_o life_n for_o adhere_v to_o the_o interest_n of_o my_o country_n and_o now_o in_o my_o thirty_o seven_o year_n perceive_v a_o boisterous_a storm_n to_o approach_v by_o which_o i_o may_v probable_o expect_v to_o be_v sweep_v away_o in_o the_o common_a calamity_n and_o consequent_o must_v leave_v you_o all_o very_a young_a i_o think_v it_o to_o be_v the_o best_a thing_n i_o can_v do_v for_o you_o to_o advertise_v you_o of_o the_o rock_n and_o precipice_n which_o by_o mean_n of_o my_o trouble_n and_o suffering_n i_o have_v discover_v and_o to_o that_o end_n it_o be_v that_o i_o recommend_v to_o you_o the_o follow_a discourse_n next_o to_o be_v wise_a to_o salvation_n there_o be_v nothing_o that_o more_o concern_v any_o man_n than_o to_o know_v how_o to_o order_v his_o affair_n with_o discretion_n for_o this_o not_o only_o bring_v we_o with_o ease_n and_o content_v through_o the_o world_n but_o this_o double_a happiness_n also_o attend_v it_o first_o by_o it_o we_o leave_v behind_o we_o that_o high_o valuable_a thing_n of_o a_o good_a name_n and_o second_o it_o help_v we_o many_o step_n in_o our_o way_n to_o heaven_n therefore_o to_o give_v you_o some_o direction_n how_o to_o steer_v your_o course_n through_o this_o world_n be_v the_o occasion_n of_o the_o follow_a discourse_n first_o then_o be_v sure_a to_o begin_v and_o end_v the_o day_n with_o god_n let_v not_o any_o business_n prevent_v you_o from_o spend_v some_o time_n in_o private_a devotion_n both_o morning_n and_o evening_n for_o this_o as_o without_o contradiction_n it_o be_v our_o duty_n so_o reason_n do_v strong_o persuade_v the_o practice_n of_o it_o for_o if_o we_o do_v believe_v that_o there_o be_v a_o god_n and_o that_o all_o our_o hair_n be_v number_v which_o imply_v his_o particular_a care_n of_o we_o can_v we_o expect_v that_o he_o shall_v take_v we_o the_o rest_n of_o the_o day_n into_o his_o protection_n when_o we_o set_v so_o little_a by_o it_o as_o not_o to_o think_v it_o worth_a the_o ask_n be_v any_o of_o we_o to_o go_v some_o road_n which_o we_o have_v never_o travel_v before_o and_o beside_o so_o full_a of_o hole_n and_o precipice_n and_o such_o as_o while_o we_o avoid_v one_o it_o will_v be_v great_a odds_o that_o we_o fall_v into_o another_o and_o consequent_o will_v be_v extreme_o bruise_v if_o not-killed_n and_o there_o be_v but_o one_o person_n who_o know_v the_o way_n will_v not_o we_o be_v very_o importunate_a with_o he_o to_o guide_v we_o if_o then_o we_o do_v but_o serious_o consider_v the_o multitude_n of_o hazard_n and_o danger_n which_o we_o be_v expose_v to_o in_o one_o day_n we_o must_v conclude_v that_o our_o preservation_n be_v purchase_v by_o a_o very_a small_a price_n even_o by_o a_o few_o minute_n in_o private_a devotion_n in_o the_o morning_n and_o there_o be_v as_o great_a reason_n for_o our_o evening_n sacrifice_n it_o be_v a_o very_a small_a favour_n that_o do_v not_o deserve_v thanks_o but_o great_a ought_v our_o acknowledgement_n to_o be_v every_o evening_n for_o our_o preservation_n the_o day_n past_a for_o reckon_v up_o by_o how_o many_o several_a accident_n man_n have_v dye_v even_o so_o many_o and_o more_o do_v we_o escape_v every_o day_n and_o then_o consider_v how_o small_a a_o recompense_n we_o render_v to_o the_o lord_n for_o such_o transcendent_a benefit_n and_o how_o gracious_a he_o be_v to_o accept_v so_o small_a a_o tribute_n as_o we_o be_v able_a to_o pay_v he_o in_o a_o quarter_n or_o half_a a_o hour_n in_o private_a consider_v further_o if_o betwixt_o man_n and_o man_n a_o acknowledgement_n of_o a_o favour_n receive_v lay_v a_o sort_n of_o obligation_n upon_o the_o person_n to_o bestow_v a_o second_o what_o may_v we_o not_o expect_v from_o god_n who_o goodness_n extend_v beyond_o what_o we_o can_v comprehend_v for_o he_o bestow_v benefit_n upon_o the_o most_o ungrateful_a and_o then_o we_o may_v be_v sure_a that_o a_o sincere_a and_o humble_a tribute_n of_o thanks_o will_v be_v very_o acceptable_a to_o he_o and_o that_o it_o may_v be_v such_o take_v especial_a care_n that_o your_o supplication_n as_o much_o as_o in_o you_o lie_v be_v void_a of_o all_o distraction_n and_o dullness_n lest_o be_v perform_v careless_o and_o formal_o you_o may_v seem_v to_o mock_v god_n for_o he_o can_v be_v please_v with_o such_o service_n neither_o will_v he_o answer_v they_o in_o mercy_n for_o i_o have_v observe_v any_o morning_n that_o i_o have_v hurry_v over_o my_o devotion_n the_o day_n follow_v have_v not_o be_v prosperous_a and_o that_o thing_n which_o particular_o occasion_v i_o to_o such_o haste_n have_v meet_v with_o ill_a success_n in_o the_o next_o place_n let_v all_o your_o deal_n be_v measure_v by_o the_o golden_a rule_n of_o do_v to_o other_o as_o you_o will_v be_v do_v by_o for_o as_o without_o this_o you_o can_v be_v a_o good_a christian_a so_o he_o that_o be_v void_a of_o it_o can_v be_v a_o true_o moral_a man_n it_o be_v much_o to_o be_v lament_v that_o among_o we_o it_o be_v not_o more_o serious_o consider_v and_o faithful_o practise_v for_o the_o want_n of_o it_o be_v the_o root_n from_o whence_o most_o of_o our_o mischief_n and_o trouble_n do_v spring_n and_o whenever_o man_n do_v entertain_v a_o just_a opinion_n of_o it_o then_o will_v the_o world_n be_v true_o say_v to_o enjoy_v the_o golden_a age_n for_o next_o to_o the_o gospel_n of_o jesus_n christ_n nothing_o can_v procure_v so_o much_o peace_n on_o earth_n true_a it_o be_v that_o seem_a advantage_n may_v frequent_o offer_v themselves_o to_o induce_v we_o to_o go_v beside_o this_o rule_n but_o indeed_o they_o have_v only_o a_o outside_n and_o no_o more_o for_o what_o a_o man_n gain_v thereby_o be_v but_o of_o a_o short_a duration_n and_o seldom_o end_v but_o in_o trouble_n and_o vexation_n for_o be_v out_o of_o god_n way_n it_o can_v be_v expect_v that_o his_o blessing_n shall_v attend_v it_o and_o without_o that_o nothing_o can_v prosper_v and_o beside_o he_o that_o in_o a_o great_a measure_n do_v not_o practise_v this_o rule_n can_v go_v out_o of_o the_o world_n with_o the_o name_n of_o a_o honest_a man_n and_o he_o that_o be_v not_o solicitous_a to_o leave_v behind_o he_o that_o character_n be_v fit_a to_o herd_n with_o brute_n than_o to_o be_v admit_v into_o any_o civil_a society_n and_o now_o let_v i_o recommend_v to_o you_o the_o duty_n and_o affection_n which_o you_o owe_v to_o your_o country_n for_o next_o to_o god_n glory_n there_o be_v nothing_o that_o aught_o to_o be_v so_o dear_a to_o you_o as_o the_o common_a good_a it_o be_v to_o be_v prefer_v to_o your_o life_n estate_n or_o family_n to_o this_o you_o be_v strong_o persuade_v as_o man_n be_v a_o sociable_a creature_n for_o it_o be_v by_o the_o mutual_a assistance_n of_o each_o other_o that_o mankind_n subsist_v let_v every_o man_n seek_v only_o himself_o and_o have_v no_o regard_n to_o the_o common_a good_a nothing_o but_o a_o universal_a disorder_n and_o confusion_n will_v thereupon_o ensue_v and_o than_o what_o profit_n can_v we_o expect_v of_o all_o the_o labour_n that_o man_n take_v under_o the_o sun_n true_a it_o be_v that_o fish_v in_o trouble_a water_n may_v be_v
