time_n reflect_v upon_o the_o beauty_n of_o this_o universe_n the_o order_n of_o its_o part_n the_o mutual_a service_n they_o lend_v one_o another_o and_o the_o eternal_a law_n they_o observe_v a_o thousand_o time_n i_o say_v have_v i_o consider_v all_o these_o wonder_n and_o the_o custom_n of_o see_v they_o have_v not_o lessen_v my_o admiration_n of_o they_o i_o have_v take_v notice_n that_o all_o this_o great_a world_n be_v nothing_o else_o but_o a_o visible_a word_n that_o prove_v a_o god_n so_o evident_o that_o in_o comparison_n of_o it_o all_o our_o eloquence_n and_o rhetoric_n be_v dumb_a or_o at_o best_a so_o obscure_a and_o inconsistent_a with_o itself_o that_o the_o more_o it_o endeavour_n on_o this_o account_n the_o more_o it_o seem_v to_o hide_v what_o it_o will_v demonstrate_v i_o have_v see_v that_o all_o thing_n in_o nature_n constant_o perform_v their_o respective_a function_n and_o answer_v the_o end_n and_o perfection_n of_o their_o creation_n man_z only_o except_v who_o have_v from_o the_o beginning_n take_v part_n with_o the_o devil_n and_o enemy_n of_o god_n by_o offend_v he_o with_o so_o much_o ingratitude_n who_o have_v bestow_v so_o many_o favour_n upon_o he_o and_o make_v he_o such_o as_o it_o be_v possible_a for_o he_o to_o be_v without_o be_v god_n but_o a_o image_n of_o he_o as_o the_o first_o conception_n of_o his_o mind_n be_v a_o fancy_n of_o pride_n and_o vainglory_n so_o the_o first_o production_n of_o his_o body_n be_v a_o cain_n a_o murderer_n of_o his_o brother_n and_o all_o the_o child_n he_o have_v bring_v into_o the_o world_n have_v inherit_v his_o rashness_n and_o rebellion_n and_o consequent_o his_o condemnation_n and_o punishment_n i_o have_v consider_v man_n in_o general_a and_o perceive_v that_o some_o of_o they_o be_v of_o the_o nature_n of_o devil_n other_o of_o beast_n and_o many_o of_o both_o together_o that_o their_o hand_n be_v full_a of_o blood_n extortion_n violence_n and_o rapine_n in_o short_a that_o their_o whole_a exercise_n be_v nothing_o else_o but_o a_o kind_n of_o monopoly_n and_o robbery_n ii_o then_o be_v i_o seize_v with_o a_o secret_a horror_n and_o grief_n which_o like_o a_o shadow_n of_o death_n bring_v a_o cloud_n upon_o the_o fair_a day_n of_o my_o life_n nothing_o can_v comfort_v i_o neither_o the_o consideration_n that_o god_n have_v make_v i_o a_o man_n nor_o that_o i_o be_v one_o of_o those_o that_o bear_v the_o name_n of_o christian_n see_v they_o be_v at_o variance_n together_o and_o that_o ignorance_n and_o malice_n be_v as_o common_a among_o they_o as_o with_o barbarian_n and_o infidel_n nothing_o be_v more_o contrary_a to_o i_o than_o those_o i_o think_v like_o myself_o and_o i_o be_v reduce_v to_o this_o necessity_n either_o to_o make_v myself_o odious_a to_o all_o by_o a_o everlasting_a contradiction_n or_o to_o follow_v their_o example_n and_o thereby_o be_v in_o some_o sort_n a_o accomplice_n with_o they_o in_o their_o deceit_n and_o unfaithfulness_n in_o the_o mean_a time_n i_o observe_v that_o the_o same_o accident_n equal_o surprise_v both_o old_a and_o young_a and_o i_o can_v not_o persuade_v myself_o that_o rational_a being_n can_v feel_v any_o true_a content_a in_o so_o great_a a_o uncertainty_n of_o what_o must_v happen_v to_o they_o my_o reason_n itself_o and_o all_o the_o reflection_n it_o enable_v i_o to_o make_v do_v but_o serve_v to_o increase_v my_o sorrow_n till_o i_o careful_o and_o serious_o consider_v the_o divine_a oracle_n of_o the_o most_o ancient_a write_n which_o assure_v i_o that_o god_n have_v reserve_v some_o to_o himself_o who_o bear_v a_o mark_n in_o their_o forehead_n which_o the_o angel_n respect_n and_o who_o the_o destroyer_n do_v not_o approach_v in_o the_o day_n of_o vengeance_n that_o this_o world_n be_v nothing_o else_o but_o a_o place_n of_o trial_n to_o discern_v the_o good_a from_o the_o bad_a and_o a_o way_n by_o which_o we_o be_v to_o pass_v through_o darkness_n to_o light_n and_o from_o misery_n to_o felicity_n word_n i_o shall_v have_v hear_v with_o more_o fear_n than_o assurance_n see_v there_o be_v so_o few_o that_o can_v or_o will_v mind_v they_o if_o they_o themselves_o have_v not_o teach_v i_o that_o shepherd_n and_o fisherman_n do_v much_o better_o understand_v they_o than_o the_o disputer_n of_o this_o world_n and_o philosopher_n and_o that_o for_o the_o true_a comprehend_v of_o they_o there_o be_v not_o so_o much_o need_v of_o logic_n as_o of_o faith_n and_o piety_n that_o they_o teach_v a_o science_n that_o do_v not_o puff_n man_n up_o but_o make_v they_o humble_a and_o yet_o give_v the_o most_o humble_a and_o lowly_a courage_n enough_o to_o profess_v it_o open_o before_o the_o proud_a and_o great_a man_n in_o the_o world_n and_o every_o day_n to_o venture_v their_o own_o life_n in_o the_o attempt_n of_o save_v of_o other_o from_o death_n iii_o all_o these_o divine_a revelation_n be_v accompany_v with_o a_o spirit_n of_o comfort_n have_v calm_v my_o soul_n and_o i_o have_v find_v myself_o as_o it_o be_v renew_v and_o transform_v on_o a_o sudden_a in_o such_o a_o manner_n that_o though_o my_o former_a grief_n have_v not_o

such_o as_o serve_v only_o to_o assure_v i_o the_o more_o and_o make_v i_o press_v with_o great_a eagerness_n towards_o the_o mark_n which_o hope_n and_o faith_n have_v set_v before_o i_o in_o this_o i_o rejoice_v not_o as_o for_o some_o transitory_a oblectation_n which_o nothing_o can_v satisfy_v and_o which_o at_o its_o full_a find_v a_o want_n of_o many_o thing_n but_o as_o for_o a_o
