when_o other_o have_v break_v the_o way_n for_o i_o to_o stand_v any_o long_o to_o my_o own_o judgement_n in_o this_o matter_n without_o give_v some_o offence_n to_o many_o excellent_a person_n who_o by_o their_o piety_n and_o friendship_n have_v great_a authority_n over_o i_o i_o be_o conscious_a of_o the_o many_o defect_n of_o this_o discourse_n which_o be_v the_o production_n only_o of_o some_o few_o hour_n which_o be_v write_v with_o such_o a_o concern_v as_o will_v not_o allow_v of_o much_o ornament_n and_o which_o cost_v i_o more_o tear_n than_o invention_n i_o be_o also_o sensible_a that_o i_o have_v give_v you_o here_o but_o a_o very_a imperfect_a view_n of_o but_o some_o of_o the_o many_o virtue_n of_o our_o most_o dear_a and_o sovereign_a queen_n depart_v for_o have_v confine_v myself_o in_o a_o manner_n to_o my_o own_o knowledge_n and_o observation_n of_o she_o i_o do_v not_o take_v compass_n enough_o to_o bring_v in_o half_a her_o worth_n this_o force_v i_o to_o neglect_v a_o main_a part_n of_o her_o princely_a character_n and_o to_o speak_v of_o she_o rather_o as_o a_o most_o pious_a lady_n than_o as_o a_o most_o noble_a and_o illustrious_a queen_n however_o there_o be_v some_o advantage_n in_o this_o my_o low_a performance_n that_o that_o part_n of_o her_o example_n which_o you_o may_v read_v in_o this_o sermon_n seem_v most_o capable_a of_o a_o general_n imitation_n which_o i_o assure_v you_o be_v the_o chief_a aim_n of_o this_o present_a discourse_n which_o after_o some_o retirement_n come_v now_o abroad_o in_o the_o habit_n of_o a_o true_a mourner_n without_o much_o dress_n or_o care_n of_o period_n without_o flattery_n or_o mean_a design_n without_o hope_n of_o applause_n or_o fear_v of_o censure_n those_o little_a thing_n which_o sorrow_n always_o disregard_v receive_v it_o therefore_o as_o it_o be_v a_o composure_n plain_a and_o serious_a and_o in_o its_o circumstance_n i_o hope_v not_o undecent_a a_o composure_n which_o have_v nothing_o to_o recommend_v it_o but_o the_o great_a and_o dear_a subject_n of_o which_o it_o treat_v the_o deep_a and_o sincere_a grief_n of_o he_o who_o make_v it_o and_o the_o many_o

in_o send_v his_o own_o son_n into_o the_o world_n to_o complete_a the_o work_n of_o our_o redemption_n from_o thence_o to_o have_v raise_v your_o mind_n into_o a_o joyful_a frame_n and_o a_o become_a

and_o similitude_n which_o be_v most_o significant_a and_o apt_a both_o to_o imprint_v and_o to_o declare_v great_a consternation_n of_o mind_n for_o thus_o he_o signify_v that_o god_n will_v bring_v such_o sudden_a trouble_n upon_o they_o as_o shall_v cause_v as_o much_o terror_n and_o affrightment_n as_o if_o they_o real_o see_v the_o sun_n go_v down_o at_o noon_n and_o the_o clear_a part_n of_o the_o day_n immediate_o expire_v into_o thick_a and_o horrid_a darkness_n or_o as_o if_o in_o the_o midst_n of_o their_o great_a jollity_n and_o festival_n delight_n some_o shall_v hear_v of_o the_o sudden_a death_n of_o their_o only_a child_n and_o other_o of_o their_o dear_a friend_n now_o something_o that_o come_v very_o near_o to_o this_o most_o dismal_a representation_n have_v indeed_o happen_v to_o we_o of_o this_o kingdom_n for_o we_o have_v sudden_o lose_v such_o a_o pattern_n of_o virtue_n as_o do_v true_o shine_v among_o we_o in_o a_o meridian_n lustre_n we_o behold_v our_o queen_n with_o cheerful_a eye_n as_o she_o appear_v in_o the_o very_a beauty_n of_o holiness_n rejoice_v to_o run_v her_o course_n of_o pious_a duty_n and_o when_o we_o expect_v nothing_o but_o a_o long_a and_o clear_a day_n of_o light_n and_o good_a example_n behold_v darkness_n have_v overspread_v we_o all_o face_n gather_v blackness_n and_o our_o great_a festival_n be_v turn_v into_o a_o season_n of_o mourn_v now_o that_o it_o may_v appear_v that_o our_o sudden_a loss_n of_o so_o excellent_a a_o queen_n in_o the_o prime_n of_o her_o year_n and_o in_o the_o full_a brightness_n of_o her_o virtue_n may_v very_o well_o be_v compare_v to_o the_o sun_n be_v go_v down_o at_o noon_n or_o to_o the_o earth_n be_v darken_v in_o the_o midst_n of_o a_o clear_a day_n i_o will_v endeavour_v to_o set_v before_o you_o something_o of_o her_o character_n and_o then_o consider_v what_o reason_n we_o have_v to_o mourn_v and_o what_o be_v the_o best_a use_n we_o be_v to_o make_v of_o such_o dispensation_n as_o to_o her_o character_n i_o shall_v not_o much_o meddle_v with_o the_o report_n and_o relation_n of_o other_o because_o i_o think_v i_o be_o able_a to_o delineate_v some_o very_a considerable_a branch_n of_o it_o from_o my_o own_o knowledge_n and_o observation_n and_o therein_o i_o shall_v confine_v myself_o to_o these_o three_o thing_n i._o i_o shall_v contemplate_v she_o in_o the_o peculiar_a sweetness_n of_o her_o temper_n ii_o in_o her_o continual_a concern_v for_o and_o encouragement_n of_o the_o true_a religion_n establish_v among_o we_o iii_o in_o the_o constant_a practice_n of_o her_o own_o devotion_n i._o i_o shall_v contemplate_v she_o in_o the_o peculiar_a sweetness_n of_o her_o temper_n we_o be_v apt_a to_o think_v that_o sweetness_n of_o temper_n be_v the_o ordinary_a constitution_n of_o prince_n and_o great_a person_n that_o it_o natural_o arise_v from_o a_o generous_a blood_n a_o noble_a education_n obsequious_a attendance_n and_o the_o easy_a accommodation_n of_o life_n but_o all_o these_o be_v no_o other_o than_o contingent_a cause_n and_o do_v oftentimes_o produce_v quite_o contrary_a effect_n as_o pride_n haughtiness_n and_o cruelty_n and_o such_o nice_a and_o fastidious_a humour_n as_o few_o can_v comply_v with_o and_o none_o can_v please_v a_o sweet_a natural_a temper_n be_v certain_o a_o great_a blessing_n from_o whatsoever_o it_o arise_v but_o there_o must_v be_v care_v take_v to_o polish_v and_o improve_v it_o or_o it_o will_v not_o hold_v good_a long_o it_o be_v very_o apt_a to_o turn_v into_o slothfulness_n or_o a_o sensual_a ease_n so_o that_o virtue_n alone_o can_v give_v it_o stability_n and_o a_o last_a shine_n it_o be_v the_o most_o proper_a soil_n for_o christianity_n to_o grow_v in_o and_o then_o it_o have_v this_o advantage_n that_o it_o receive_v a_o new_a richness_n from_o the_o very_a fruit_n it_o bear_v it_o be_v likewise_o that_o which_o best_o set_v off_o and_o recommend_v a_o virtuous_a life_n to_o other_o for_o who_o can_v resist_v the_o counsel_n of_o wisdom_n when_o they_o be_v insinuate_v by_o all_o the_o charm_n of_o love_n and_o good_a nature_n now_o a_o peculiar_a sweetness_n of_o disposition_n be_v ever_o expect_v from_o those_o who_o be_v eminent_o pious_a for_o they_o be_v noble_o descend_v indeed_o be_v in_o a_o especial_a manner_n
