his_o excellent_a perfection_n may_v be_v derive_v into_o our_o soul_n be_v therefore_o much_o in_o stillness_n and_o abstraction_n of_o mind_n that_o you_o may_v become_v of_o a_o think_v temper_n give_v up_o with_o passion_n design_n and_o humour_n and_o use_v much_o inward_a recollection_n this_o at_o first_o will_v prove_v sinful_a to_o you_o but_o when_o once_o you_o have_v bring_v your_o

your_o converse_n with_o he_o shall_v not_o only_o consist_v in_o prayer_n and_o act_n of_o worship_n but_o you_o shall_v be_v often_o admire_v he_o in_o his_o attribute_n of_o power_n wisdom_n and_o

be_o thou_o i_o will_v love_v thou_o above_o all_o thing_n and_o none_o but_o thou_o thou_o be_v my_o joy_n and_o only_a delight_n thus_o the_o more_o you_o converse_v with_o god_n your_o act_n will_v grow_v the_o simple_a and_o the_o pure_a it_o will_v not_o only_o be_v at_o some_o return_n morning_n or_o evening_n or_o in_o public_a worship_n that_o such_o thought_n will_v stir_v in_o you_o but_o

how_o sweet_a will_v your_o hour_n than_o grow_v to_o you_o but_o debate_n and_o opinion_n and_o every_o thing_n that_o lead_v out_o the_o mind_n from_o that_o inward_a stillness_n will_v become_v

a_o woman_n or_o histerical_a will_v mount_v very_o high_a but_o this_o devotion_n do_v not_o humble_a nor_o purify_v the_o mind_n now_o person_n so_o divin_o act_v be_v nothing_o in_o their_o own_o
