willing_a indeed_o to_o endeavour_n be_v certain_o in_o your_o power_n especial_o at_o first_o when_o all_o circumstance_n make_v such_o endeavour_n more_o easy_a and_o hopeful_a in_o respect_n of_o success_n as_o i_o show_v before_o in_o the_o former_a part_n of_o the_o three_o section_n beside_o you_o have_v endeavour_v in_o other_o thing_n when_o there_o be_v as_o little_a likelihood_n of_o prevail_a and_o in_o case_n to_o which_o you_o be_v as_o much_o stranger_n as_o you_o be_v in_o this_o so_o also_o may_v you_o endeavour_v now_o in_o this_o and_o how_o can_v you_o tell_v but_o you_o may_v prevail_v if_o you_o inquire_v what_o you_o may_v do_v to_o win_v each_o other_o love_n to_o the_o lord_n and_o to_o persuade_v each_o other_o to_o walk_v in_o his_o way_n call_v to_o mind_n what_o way_n you_o take_v to_o gain_v the_o affection_n of_o each_o other_o for_o marriage_n the_o like_a method_n of_o entreat_v and_o entertain_v follow_v with_o equal_a diligence_n and_o care_n in_o all_o probability_n will_v be_v successful_a and_o may_v be_v as_o effectual_a in_o this_o matter_n as_o in_o the_o other_o 1._o remember_v what_o way_n you_o take_v to_o get_v acquaintance_n and_o to_o find_v opportunity_n of_o favourable_a acceptance_n so_o now_o be_v as_o watchful_a to_o procure_v opportunity_n to_o bring_v each_o other_o to_o god_n and_o when_o alone_o in_o secret_a seek_v to_o persuade_v to_o this_o and_o observe_v which_o be_v the_o fit_a season_n to_o bring_v either_o to_o a_o promise_n 2._o remember_v how_o careful_a then_o you_o be_v to_o do_v nothing_o to_o displease_v one_o another_o but_o that_o you_o may_v still_o find_v the_o same_o favourable_a countenance_n so_o now_o much_o more_o labour_n that_o all_o your_o carriage_n may_v be_v so_o please_v that_o all_o thing_n on_o both_o part_n may_v be_v so_o order_v that_o the_o duty_n of_o religion_n may_v be_v delightful_a and_o not_o seem_v a_o burden_n 3._o then_o you_o can_v forbear_v many_o thing_n which_o you_o know_v be_v displease_v to_o each_o other_o so_o now_o also_o forbear_v all_o that_o may_v hinder_v each_o other_o in_o this_o good_a thing_n let_v the_o man_n avoid_v all_o unnecessary_a spend_v of_o time_n abroad_o and_o let_v the_o woman_n avoid_v all_o negligence_n at_o home_n that_o all_o thing_n may_v be_v in_o order_n for_o read_v and_o prayer_n at_o the_o hour_n appoint_v 4._o then_o you_o can_v talk_v of_o love_n and_o almost_o nothing_o else_o and_o make_v great_a pretence_n at_o least_o now_o then_o talk_v as_o much_o and_o as_o often_o of_o the_o love_n of_o god_n and_o his_o love_n to_o soul_n and_o of_o your_o love_n to_o the_o soul_n of_o one_o another_o and_o talk_v of_o the_o goodness_n of_o god_n and_o of_o his_o holy_a way_n that_o thereby_o you_o may_v excite_v and_o inflame_v each_o other_o with_o love_n to_o god_n and_o goodness_n and_o what_o you_o can_v talk_v of_o without_o any_o help_n but_o natural_a inclination_n now_o in_o this_o you_o may_v have_v the_o help_n of_o god_n his_o word_n his_o grace_n and_o holy_a spirit_n 5._o then_o you_o can_v use_v argument_n to_o win_v love_n and_o propose_v advantage_n inquire_v reason_n of_o denial_n and_o answer_v their_o objection_n so_o may_v you_o now_o use_v argument_n to_o win_v each_o other_o to_o the_o love_n of_o god_n show_v each_o other_o the_o advantage_n of_o a_o holy_a and_o heavenly_a live_n together_o how_o it_o will_v strengthen_v natural_a affection_n end_v enable_v to_o bear_v all_o cross_n and_o worldly_a trouble_n ask_v what_o shall_v hinder_v a_o resolution_n to_o join_v in_o so_o good_a so_o comfortable_a a_o design_n and_o answer_v what_o may_v be_v say_v against_o it_o with_o the_o spirit_n of_o love_n and_o mildness_n 6._o then_o you_o will_v take_v no_o denial_n but_o ask_v again_o and_o again_o so_o may_v you_o now_o to_o win_v each_o other_o to_o the_o way_n of_o god_n and_o be_v not_o weary_v for_o this_o be_v well_o do_v continue_v to_o use_v the_o fit_a opportunity_n till_o you_o have_v persuade_v each_o other_o to_o be_v willing_a to_o embrace_v the_o way_n of_o god_n to_o go_v to_o god_n together_o to_o go_v to_o heaven_n together_o can_v you_o deny_v i_o this_o you_o may_v jnst_o say_v this_o that_o be_v so_o much_o for_o our_o comfort_n both_o in_o sickness_n and_o in_o health_n and_o even_o in_o death_n itself_o i_o will_v never_o leave_v ask_v till_o i_o have_v obtain_v 7._o remember_v how_o then_o you_o can_v bear_v with_o patience_n all_o peevishness_n and_o mourn_v at_o refusal_n without_o anger_n so_o now_o wait_v in_o the_o spirit_n of_o meekness_n endeavour_v to_o win_v can_v you_o then_o beg_v and_o wait_v and_o entreat_v acceptance_n and_o rejoice_v if_o at_o last_o you_o obtain_v consent_n and_o agreement_n and_o can_v you_o do_v so_o now_o without_o some_o such_o endeavour_n as_o these_o where_o be_v the_o love_n you_o talk_v of_o where_o be_v that_o true_a love_n to_o thy_o partner_n and_o dear_a yoke-fellow_n where_o be_v thy_o love_n to_o thy_o own_o soul_n and_o where_o be_v thy_o love_n to_o thy_o dear_a lord_n and_o especial_o if_o either_o find_v the_o other_o backward_o and_o yet_o lose_v in_o the_o flesh_n and_o either_o in_o word_n or_o action_n discover_v a_o enmity_n to_o a_o godly_a life_n they_o have_v need_n mourn_v for_o their_o condition_n in_o secret_a and_o pray_v for_o they_o in_o secret_a but_o give_v not_o over_o as_o lose_v but_o wait_v and_o woo_v with_o patience_n and_o hope_v and_o prudence_n how_o know_v thou_o but_o at_o last_o it_o may_v prevail_v and_o that_o god_n may_v make_v thou_o the_o happy_a instrument_n of_o save_v the_o soul_n of_o thy_o partner_n 1_o cor._n 7.16_o i_o shall_v now_o conclude_v with_o some_o few_o
