in_o his_o conversation_n his_o discourse_n be_v common_o of_o useful_a thing_n it_o never_o cause_v trouble_n or_o weariness_n to_o the_o hearer_n yet_o he_o will_v venture_v to_o displease_v one_o

like_o one_o that_o make_v it_o his_o business_n he_o dare_v do_v for_o his_o friend_n any_o thing_n that_o be_v honest_a and_o no_o more_o he_o will_v undertake_v nothing_o but_o what_o well_o

of_o that_o way_n and_o when_o he_o find_v they_o far_o off_o from_o the_o unity_n of_o the_o church_n he_o may_v possible_o overdo_v through_o the_o vehemence_n of_o his_o desire_n to_o bring_v

for_o that_o he_o mean_v this_o of_o bishop_n it_o appear_v not_o sufficient_o and_o of_o they_o be_v dead_a not_o at_o all_o in_o our_o translation_n and_o yet_o from_o the_o original_a i_o see_v no_o reason_n to_o doubt_v that_o our_o apostle_n in_o this_o text_n mean_v no_o other_o but_o bishop_n and_o those_o depart_v this_o life_n for_o the_o order_n of_o
the_o event_n the_o bless_a end_n of_o their_o good_a conversation_n what_o my_o text_n say_v in_o general_a of_o bishop_n decease_v it_o be_v most_o easy_a to_o apply_v i_o know_v it_o have_v be_v

though_o he_o seek_v rather_o the_o profit_n than_o the_o praise_n of_o his_o hearer_n he_o speak_v solid_a truth_n with_o as_o little_a show_n of_o art_n as_o be_v possible_a he_o express_v all_o

upon_o his_o hearer_n his_o plainness_n be_v best_a for_o the_o instruction_n of_o the_o simple_a and_o for_o the_o better_a sort_n who_o be_v in_o truth_n a_o intelligent_a auditory_a it_o be_v enough_o that_o they_o may_v see_v he_o have_v no_o mind_n to_o deceive_v they_o he_o apply_v himself_o rather_o to_o their_o understanding_n than_o affection_n he_o see_v so_o much_o of_o the_o

for_o he_o and_o will_v be_v the_o easy_a for_o they_o that_o come_v after_o he_o if_o in_o these_o he_o go_v sometime_o beside_o his_o profession_n it_o be_v in_o follow_v the_o design_n of_o it_o to_o make_v man_n wise_a and_o better_a which_o i_o think_v be_v the_o business_n of_o universal_a knowledge_n and_o this_o he_o promote_v with_o much_o zeal_n and_o sincerity_n in_o hope_n of_o the_o

i_o mean_v in_o the_o design_n of_o the_o royal_a society_n he_o join_v himself_o to_o it_o with_o no_o other_o end_n but_o to_o promote_v modern_a knowledge_n without_o any_o contempt_n or_o lessen_v of_o those_o great_a man_n in_o former_a time_n with_o due_a honour_n to_o who_o he_o think_v it_o lawful_a for_o other_o to_o do_v that_o which_o we_o have_v no_o reason_n to_o doubt_v they_o themselves_o will_v have_v do_v if_o they_o be_v live_v i_o will_v not_o seem_v to_o excuse_v that_o which_o dedeserve_v commendation_n and_o encouragement_n or_o to_o commend_v other_o thing_n for_o want_v of_o subject_a in_o he_o therefore_o leave_v this_o theme_n in_o better_a hand_n i_o proceed_v next_o to_o speak_v of_o his_o virtue_n and_o grace_n and_o these_o the_o rather_o as_o be_v

not_o worth_a while_n to_o speak_v of_o those_o that_o be_v vulgar_a though_o he_o have_v they_o also_o in_o no_o common_a degree_n nor_o will_v i_o seem_v to_o make_v any_o virtue_n a_o propriety_n but_o there_o be_v those_o which_o be_v not_o common_a to_o many_o and_o be_v general_o acknowledge_v to_o be_v in_o he_o though_o they_o appear_v not_o so_o to_o some_o other_o man_n as_o they_o do_v to_o those_o that_o intimate_o know_v he_o his_o prudence_n be_v great_a i_o think_v it_o seldom_o fail_v in_o any_o thing_n to_o which_o he_o apply_v himself_o and_o yet_o he_o want_v that_o part_n which_o some_o hold_n to_o be_v essential_a he_o so_o want_v dissimulation_n that_o he_o have_v rather_o too_o much_o openness_n of_o heart_n it_o be_v sincerity_n indeed_o that_o be_v natural_a to_o he_o he_o so_o abhor_v a_o lie_n that_o he_o be_v not_o at_o all_o for_o show_v he_o can_v not_o put_v on_o any_o thing_n that_o look_v like_o it_o and_o presume_v the_o same_o of_o other_o man_n through_o excess_n of_o benignity_n he_o will_v be_v sometime_o deceive_v in_o believe_v they_o be_v what_o they_o seem_v to_o be_v and_o what_o he_o know_v they_o ought_v to_o have_v be_v his_o greatness_n of_o mind_n be_v know_v to_o all_o that_o know_v any_o thing_n of_o he_o he_o neither_o eager_o seek_v any_o dignity_n nor_o decline_v any_o capacity_n of_o do_v good_a he_o look_v down_o upon_o wealth_n as_o much_o as_o other_o admire_v it_o he_o know_v the_o use_n of_o a_o estate_n but_o do_v not_o cover_v it_o what_o he_o yearly_o receive_v of_o the_o church_n he_o bestow_v in_o

and_o i_o think_v he_o be_v as_o good_a as_o his_o word_n as_o for_o revenge_n how_o can_v it_o enter_v into_o the_o breast_n of_o he_o that_o hate_v nothing_o but_o that_o which_o make_v we_o
