christian_a church_n be_v none_o of_o they_o so_o lose_v to_o god_n and_o goodness_n but_o that_o they_o say_v and_o do_v some_o thing_n praiseworthy_a and_o of_o good_a report_n and_o therefore_o i_o be_o by_o no_o mean_n angry_a that_o this_o grave_a ancient_a man_n be_v public_o treat_v with_o so_o much_o respect_n and_o honour_n the_o funeral_n oration_n be_v always_o hear_v with_o some_o

last_o office_n lie_v under_o particular_a obligation_n to_o the_o party_n decease_v as_o it_o be_v in_o this_o case_n where_o the_o speaker_n be_v say_v to_o be_v possess_v of_o a_o very_a plentiful_a benefice_n chief_o by_o the_o interest_n and_o recommendation_n of_o mr._n cornish_n in_o who_o opinion_n he_o be_v a_o moderate_a and_o peaceable_a man_n and_o therefore_o he_o do_v

shall_v have_v temper_v his_o gratitude_n with_o discretion_n and_o truth_n he_o shall_v first_o have_v consider_v his_o own_o character_n which_o be_v by_o no_o mean_n to_o be_v a_o advocate_n for_o

consider_v that_o the_o great_a part_n of_o the_o audience_n be_v already_o prejudice_v against_o the_o church_n and_o the_o ordinary_a mean_n of_o salvation_n in_o it_o and_o to_o be_v now_o teach_v

in_o the_o mix_a multitude_n there_o be_v some_o regular_a and_o conscientious_a member_n of_o the_o church_n of_o england_n who_o must_v needs_o be_v offend_v to_o hear_v their_o church_n in_o

to_o daub_v with_o untemper'ed_a mortar_n to_o speak_v smooth_a thing_n and_o to_o prophesy_v deceit_n however_o the_o people_n may_v love_v to_o have_v it_o so_o most_o certain_o the_o preacher_n on_o this_o solemn_a occasion_n have_v be_v more_o true_a to_o the_o right_n of_o his_o own_o function_n if_o he_o have_v take_v this_o fair_a opportunity_n first_o to_o commemorate_v the_o great_a

though_o like_o the_o other_o true_a parent_n she_o have_v rather_o have_v the_o live_a child_n than_o the_o dead_a yet_o in_o pity_n she_o allow_v her_o office_n of_o christian_a burial_n to_o those_o who_o despise_v she_o other_o ordinance_n why_o shall_v not_o this_o tenderness_n and_o compassion_n of_o she_o work_n upon_o the_o heart_n of_o the_o disobedient_a why_o shall_v it_o not_o make_v they_o sensible_a there_o be_v some_o return_v due_a of_o silial_a respect_n and_o love_n for_o her_o bowel_n of_o affection_n to_o they_o do_v she_o imitate_v the_o dire_a severity_n of_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n do_v she_o curse_v and_o exclude_v from_o salvation_n all_o that_o forsake_v the_o pale_a of_o her_o communion_n do_v she_o cast_v out_o their_o body_n to_o the_o fowl_n of_o the_o air_n or_o rake_v into_o their_o grave_n and_o condemn_v their_o very_a bone_n to_o be_v burn_v as_o be_v know_v to_o be_v the_o frequent_a practice_n abroad_o why_o then_o these_o

afford_v they_o the_o last_o office_n of_o piety_n when_o they_o come_v to_o die_v this_o sure_a may_v win_v upon_o all_o ingenuous_a spirit_n to_o oblige_v she_o with_o conformity_n and_o obedience_n in_o all_o reasonable_a service_n he_o may_v then_o have_v take_v a_o opportunity_n to_o infer_v that_o our_o dissent_v brethren_n do_v not_o die_v so_o much_o out_o of_o charity_n with_o the_o
