or_o dutch_a it_o be_v all_o one_o to_o they_o they_o must_v follow_v their_o instruction_n 4._o there_o be_v one_o thing_n yet_o behind_o concern_v this_o action_n of_o assume_v the_o throne_n which_o deserve_v your_o observation_n and_o that_o be_v that_o these_o gentleman_n have_v not_o give_v we_o the_o last_o sentiment_n that_o she_o herself_o have_v of_o it_o have_v there_o be_v a_o

have_v there_o be_v the_o least_o tittle_n of_o this_o we_o shall_v have_v have_v it_o ring_v through_o the_o kingdom_n to_o fortify_v their_o cause_n but_o the_o industrious_a concealment_n of_o every_o thing_n that_o she_o say_v relate_v to_o this_o be_v a_o demonstration_n that_o she_o say_v nothing_o to_o their_o advantage_n but_o the_o contrary_n here_o be_v a_o action_n that_o alarm_v the_o world_n stain_v the_o glory_n of_o her_o life_n and_o if_o dr._n sherlock_n and_o dr._n burnet_n may_v be_v believe_v be_v grief_n and_o sorrow_n to_o herself_o and_o it_o be_v next_o to_o

must_v needs_o both_o inform_v and_o awaken_v she_o and_o indeed_o there_o be_v broad_a whisper_v as_o if_o she_o have_v say_v something_o that_o be_v not_o very_o grateful_a to_o they_o if_o these_o gentleman_n know_v nothing_o of_o it_o their_o ignorance_n will_v excuse_v they_o but_o if_o they_o do_v it_o be_v horrid_a hypocrisy_n to_o conceal_v it_o it_o seem_v they_o be_v acquaint_v with_o the_o manner_n of_o her_o die_v dr._n sherlock_n p._n 24_o say_v she_o see_v death_n approach_v without_o fear_n and_o prepare_v to_o receive_v the_o stroke_n with_o calmness_n etc._n etc._n which_o

prepare_v for_o it_o so_o that_o here_o be_v no_o fact_n but_o reason_v and_o conclusion_n draw_v from_o premise_n and_o it_o be_v extreme_o ridiculous_a to_o run_v to_o inference_n and_o collection_n if_o they_o can_v have_v prove_v it_o by_o plain_a word_n from_o her_o own_o mouth_n it_o be_v therefore_o undeniable_a either_o that_o she_o say_v nothing_o at_o all_o which_o be_v one_o of_o the_o

such_o a_o thing_n be_v capable_a of_o and_o here_o we_o have_v the_o difference_n between_o the_o two_o cause_n in_o the_o try_v article_n of_o death_n on_o the_o one_o side_n we_o have_v two_o venerable_a and_o reverend_a bishop_n beside_o several_a other_o who_o have_v give_v the_o high_a evidence_n of_o their_o entire_a satisfaction_n in_o their_o principle_n and_o practice_n by_o venture_v their_o soul_n in_o the_o same_o bottom_n with_o they_o and_o with_o their_o last_o breath_n declare_v it_o in_o the_o most_o solemn_a manner_n and_o in_o the_o plain_a word_n on_o the_o other_o side_n there_o be_v first_o one_o of_o their_o great_a bishop_n die_v without_o the_o least_o mention_n of_o the_o cause_n although_o he_o himself_o have_v as_o great_a a_o share_n in_o it_o as_o half_a a_o score_n of_o some_o other_o and_o then_o the_o deathbed_n of_o the_o principal_n herself_o carry_v evident_a suspicion_n of_o the_o clean_a contrary_n and_o the_o conclusion_n from_o these_o premise_n and_o the_o application_n and_o improvement_n of_o this_o point_n be_v this_o let_v my_o soul_n dwell_v with_o those_o principle_n which_o though_o they_o may_v create_v i_o

give_v of_o providence_n with_o respect_n to_o her_o death_n and_o of_o this_o he_o tell_v we_o p._n 23_o 24._o that_o though_o we_o do_v not_o know_v the_o particular_a reason_n yet_o there_o be_v general_a answer_n which_o may_v satisfy_v and_o his_o answer_n be_v two_n one_o with_o respect_n to_o ourselves_o that_o god_n be_v angry_a and_o by_o the_o untimely_a death_n of_o a_o excellent_a princess_n threaten_v his_o judgement_n unless_o we_o repent_v the_o other_o be_v with_o respect_n to_o she_o and_o then_o the_o answer_n be_v it_o be_v no_o loss_n to_o change_v a_o earthly_a crown_n for_o a_o heavenly_a crown_n these_o be_v reason_n i_o shall_v neither_o dispute_v nor_o meddle_v with_o but_o there_o be_v another_o and_o a_o very_a particular_a one_o too_o which_o the_o doctor_n may_v have_v see_v if_o he_o have_v please_v and_o which_o certain_o will_v never_o have_v escape_v he_o on_o any_o other_o occasion_n the_o question_n as_o he_o put_v it_o himself_o be_v concern_v her_o sudden_a and_o untimely_a death_n and_o be_v cut_v off_o in_o the_o vigour_n and_o strength_n of_o age._n and_o have_v the_o doctor_n never_o hear_v of_o rebellious_a and_o disobedient_a child_n not_o live_v out_o half_a their_o day_n i_o shall_v not_o undertake_v to_o give_v any_o reason_n for_o this_o or_o any_o other_o providence_n which_o providence_n itself_o do_v not_o plain_o and_o manifest_o direct_v to_o that_o be_v enough_o for_o the_o doctor_n to_o do_v who_o have_v make_v more_o bold_a with_o providence_n than_o ever_o man_n do_v but_o when_o there_o be_v a_o commandment_n to_o which_o a_o promise_n of_o long_a life_n be_v particular_o and_o express_o annex_v which_o plain_o imply_v a_o threaten_v of_o a_o short_a life_n upon_o the_o violation_n of_o it_o and_o when_o the_o fact_n be_v notorious_a and_o manifest_a and_o a_o visible_a providence_n follow_v it_o punctual_o and_o in_o all_o point_n answer_v the_o divine_a threaten_n i_o be_o certain_a a_o man_n may_v with_o more_o safety_n and_o modesty_n assign_v that_o as_o a_o reason_n which_o god_n himself_o in_o particular_a threaten_v to_o that_o particular_a fact_n this_o be_v not_o enter_v into_o god_n secret_n but_o follow_v the_o conduct_n of_o his_o commandment_n and_o interpret_n his_o providence_n according_a to_o those_o declaration_n which_o god_n himself_o have_v make_v in_o that_o very_a case_n and_o i_o do_v not_o at_o all_o doubt_n to_o say_v that_o here_o be_v as_o great_a and_o open_a a_o breach_n of_o the_o five_o commandment_n as_o ever_o be_v in_o the_o world_n aggravate_v by_o many_o and_o heinous_a circumstance_n as_o unnatural_a ingratitude_n triumph_v and_o persevere_v in_o it_o for_o a_o long_a time_n and_o all_o the_o commendation_n these_o gentleman_n give_v of_o her_o great_a knowledge_n virtue_n and_o piety_n be_v but_o as_o so_o many_o more_o aggravation_n as_o thereby_o act_v against_o a_o clear_a light_n and_o bring_v a_o great_a dishonour_n and_o scandal_n upon_o the_o christian_a religion_n and_o profession_n however_o this_o be_v the_o very_a case_n to_o which_o god_n threaten_v shortness_n of_o life_n and_o here_o we_o have_v the_o matter_n of_o that_o threaten_v plain_o exemplify_v in_o the_o untimely_a death_n of_o this_o princess_n but_o whether_o or_o no_o in_o this_o severe_a providence_n her_o undutifulness_n to_o her_o parent_n have_v overtake_v she_o or_o whether_o god_n have_v cut_v she_o off_o in_o the_o midst_n of_o her_o day_n for_o this_o or_o for_o any_o other_o wise_a and_o just_a reason_n i_o be_o very_o certain_a that_o from_o hence_o there_o be_v two_o thing_n of_o practical_a observation_n and_o which_o with_o these_o gentleman_n good_a leave_n deserve_v to_o be_v inculcate_v to_o the_o people_n on_o this_o solemn_a occasion_n and_o as_o useful_a at_o least_o as_o any_o thing_n they_o have_v say_v in_o their_o sermon_n the_o one_o be_v that_o from_o hence_o child_n be_v admonish_v to_o be_v more_o dutiful_a to_o their_o parent_n lest_o their_o life_n also_o be_v shorten_v and_o they_o for_o their_o disobedience_n cut_v off_o from_o the_o earth_n in_o the_o flower_n of_o their_o age._n these_o gentleman_n indeed_o have_v take_v the_o contrary_a method_n and_o as_o far_o as_o in_o they_o lie_v have_v tear_v up_o by_o the_o root_n all_o filial_a piety_n for_o if_o a_o person_n live_v in_o the_o constant_a and_o plain_a violation_n of_o this_o duty_n may_v notwithstanding_o be_v magnify_v to_o the_o utmost_a stretch_n of_o man_n wit_n and_o understanding_n
