defile_v since_o it_o be_v the_o constant_a practice_n of_o our_o modern_a hero_n either_o to_o seduce_v other_o from_o or_o ridicule_fw-la they_o in_o the_o way_n of_o virtue_n but_o oh_o how_o vain_a be_v their_o attempt_n when_o they_o meet_v such_o awful_a goodness_n as_o your_o husband_n be_v master_n of_o who_o look_n and_o character_n discourage_v all_o appearance_n of_o vice_n too_o much_o to_o admit_v a_o second_o attack_v from_o those_o vulture_n that_o be_v indeed_o fit_a for_o no_o place_n but_o charnel_n house_n where_o all_o thing_n be_v as_o corrupt_v and_o rot_a as_o their_o principle_n and_o yet_o these_o monster_n be_v too_o too_o often_o receive_v into_o the_o noble_a palace_n where_o that_o their_o deformity_n may_v not_o be_v observe_v they_o take_v care_n to_o render_v their_o proselyte_n as_o odious_a and_o infectious_a as_o themselves_o and_o so_o join_v together_o to_o spread_v the_o dreadful_a contagion_n as_o far_o as_o their_o acquaintance_n reach_v have_v your_o dear_a husband_n fall_v a_o prey_n to_o they_o he_o have_v be_v lose_v for_o ever_o to_o you_o and_o to_o himself_o but_o now_o though_o his_o change_n must_v of_o necessity_n give_v you_o a_o very_a great_a trouble_n for_o be_v deprive_v of_o the_o best_a companion_n and_o the_o true_a friend_n that_o ever_o any_o woman_n be_v make_v happy_a by_o yet_o after_o a_o due_a debt_n pay_v to_o his_o memory_n which_o i_o know_v can_v be_v divert_v by_o nothing_o upon_o earth_n i_o hope_v that_o trouble_n will_v find_v the_o most_o comfortable_a allay_v in_o the_o consideration_n that_o this_o part_n be_v to_o his_o unexpressable_a advantage_n and_o have_v remove_v he_o from_o a_o transitory_a and_o imperfect_a to_o a_o everlasting_a happiness_n whither_o i_o doubt_v not_o you_o be_v daily_o prepare_v to_o follow_v he_o and_o since_o it_o have_v please_v god_n to_o deny_v you_o the_o further_a assistance_n of_o such_o a_o example_n and_o counsellor_n to_o strengthen_v you_o in_o your_o travel_n he_o will_v abundant_o recompense_v that_o loss_n by_o allow_v you_o a_o great_a measure_n of_o he_o to_o carry_v you_o through_o the_o trial_n and_o

all_o your_o faculty_n at_o the_o same_o time_n weaken_v your_o body_n and_o unh_v your_o mind_n which_o fruitless_a grief_n if_o the_o saint_n in_o heaven_n have_v a_o sense_n of_o what_o pass_v here_o below_o will_v be_v more_o disapprove_v by_o he_o who_o disease_n be_v the_o occasion_n of_o it_o then_o by_o any_o of_o your_o survive_a friend_n and_o be_v it_o possible_a by_o your_o tear_n to_o recall_v he_o for_o one_o minute_n from_o that_o scene_n of_o glory_n which_o he_o be_v now_o as_o we_o reasonable_o imagine_v translate_v into_o he_o must_v regard_v you_o as_o his_o bitter_a enemy_n to_o interrupt_v he_o in_o that_o state_n of_o joy_n which_o tongue_n can_v express_v nor_o can_v it_o enter_v into_o the_o heart_n of_o man_n to_o conceive_v but_o if_o he_o be_v capable_a of_o make_v any_o wish_n concern_v you_o we_o may_v conclude_v from_o his_o last_o word_n that_o they_o all_o tend_v only_o to_o your_o attain_v a_o firm_a title_n to_o the_o love_n and_o knowledge_n of_o our_o creator_n that_o you_o may_v enjoy_v a_o settle_a peace_n in_o your_o mind_n and_o so_o resign_v up_o yourself_o to_o the_o will_n of_o god_n in_o this_o gloomy_a providence_n that_o your_o dear_a spouse_n and_o you_o may_v hereafter_o dwell_v together_o in_o that_o state_n of_o pleasure_n that_o have_v no_o end_n nor_o interruption_n and_o though_o the_o time_n of_o the_o afflict_a seem_v most_o tedious_a yet_o they_o have_v the_o consolation_n to_o know_v that_o the_o misery_n of_o this_o world_n must_v have_v a_o end_n and_o so_o must_v our_o mourn_v too_o and_o this_o i_o have_v learn_v even_o from_o the_o heathen_n that_o all_o violent_a pain_n be_v short_a and_o all_o last_a pain_n be_v lightsome_a and_o from_o hence_o conclude_v that_o any_o sort_n of_o pain_n may_v easy_o be_v endure_v whether_o it_o be_v this_o argument_n or_o self-love_n that_o make_v they_o bear_v the_o loss_n of_o friend_n with_o such_o indifference_n i_o will_v not_o presume_v to_o determine_v but_o i_o have_v meet_v with_o some_o such_o heathenish_a people_n who_o excessive_a tenderness_n to_o their_o own_o person_n have_v prevent_v their_o grieve_v for_o any_o other_o now_o when_o ●_o easiness_n in_o this_o case_n proceed_v from_o that_o principle_n i_o fear_v it_o will_v hardly_o come_v under_o the_o name_n of_o virtue_n but_o ill_a nature_n for_o we_o be_v command_v to_o love_v our_o neighbour_n as_o ourselves_o and_o none_o can_v lose_v the_o thing_n they_o love_v without_o regret_n which_o regret_n when_o it_o be_v for_o a_o friend_n or_o those_o that_o be_v near_o ally_v to_o we_o i_o hope_v be_v inoffensive_a and_o god_n who_o in_o mercy_n overlook_v many_o of_o our_o infirmity_n will_v i_o trust_v pity_n and_o pardon_v this_o which_o be_v the_o most_o natural_a of_o they_o all_o at_o least_o if_o it_o do_v not_o transport_v we_o beyond_o moderation_n but_o for_o those_o christian_a stoic_n i_o last_v mention_v their_o tranquillity_n be_v not_o more_o assure_v for_o a_o less_o share_n of_o humane_a gratitude_n or_o natural_a affection_n since_o i_o never_o observe_v any_o of_o they_o without_o a_o darling_n passion_n which_o affect_v they_o as_o tender_o though_o not_o so_o commendable_o as_o the_o other_o in_o some_o covetousness_n and_o in_o other_o pride_n supply_v the_o place_n of_o friendship_n which_o as_o it_o cheer_v they_o when_o they_o find_v success_n so_o every_o disappointment_n torment_n and_o grieve_v their_o spirit_n as_o much_o as_o the_o death_n of_o our_o dear_a friend_n do_v we_o and_o as_o mankind_n be_v the_o most_o excellent_a of_o all_o create_a being_n upon_o earth_n i_o think_v it_o be_v undisputable_a that_o the_o degree_n of_o love_n which_o the_o supreme_a lord_n of_o all_o thing_n be_v please_v to_o spare_v from_o himself_o be_v much_o noble_a employ_v in_o kindness_n to_o one_o another_o then_o in_o dote_v upon_o the_o unnecessary_a treasure_n or_o the_o vain_a ornament_n of_o this_o life_n that_o take_v up_o most_o of_o the_o time_n and_o wish_n of_o they_o who_o humour_n can_v be_v move_v by_o any_o other_o spring_n i_o grant_v that_o we_o ought_v not_o to_o expect_v any_o solid_a comfort_n from_o any_o of_o the_o enjoyment_n which_o we_o meet_v with_o here_o below_o that_o the_o dear_a friend_n must_v unavoidable_o part_v and_o we_o know_v not_o who_o turn_v it_o will_v be_v to_o be_v leave_v behind_o for_o as_o we_o come_v not_o into_o this_o world_n together_o so_o we_o must_v not_o think_v to_o go_v together_o to_o the_o next_o and_o though_o we_o be_v
