inward_a motion_n to_o it_o by_o the_o holy_a ghost_n and_o the_o first_o question_n that_o be_v put_v to_o those_o who_o come_v to_o be_v initiate_v into_o the_o service_n of_o the_o church_n

therefore_o as_o he_o do_v not_o shut_v himself_o up_o within_o a_o party_n so_o neither_o do_v he_o shut_v any_o party_n out_o from_o he_o he_o have_v bring_v his_o mind_n to_o such_o a_o freedom_n that_o he_o be_v not_o apt_a to_o be_v impose_v on_o and_o his_o modesty_n be_v such_o that_o he_o do_v not_o dictate_v to_o other_o but_o propose_v his_o own_o sense_n with_o a_o due_a and_o decent_a

of_o his_o deportment_n for_o if_o at_o any_o time_n he_o see_v cause_n to_o speak_v roundly_o to_o any_o it_o be_v never_o in_o passion_n or_o with_o any_o reproachful_a or_o indecent_a expression_n and_o as_o he_o be_v careful_a to_o give_v those_o who_o converse_v with_o he_o no_o cause_n or_o colour_n for_o displeasure_n so_o he_o be_v yet_o more_o careful_a of_o those_o who_o be_v absent_a never_o to_o speak_v ill_o of_o any_o in_o which_o he_o be_v the_o exact_a man_n i_o ever_o know_v if_o the_o discourse_n turn_v to_o be_v hard_o on_o any_o he_o be_v present_o silent_a and_o if_o the_o subject_n be_v too_o long_o dwell_v on_o he_o will_v at_o last_o interpose_v and_o between_o reproof_n and_o raillery_n divert_v it_o he_o be_v exact_o civil_a rather_o to_o ceremony_n and_o though_o he_o feel_v his_o easiness_n of_o access_n and_o the_o desire_n of_o many_o all_o stranger_n in_o particular_a to_o be_v much_o with_o he_o make_v great_a waste_n on_o his_o time_n yet_o as_o he_o be_v severe_a in_o that_o not_o to_o be_v deny_v when_o he_o be_v at_o home_n so_o he_o say_v he_o know_v the_o heart_n of_o a_o stranger_n and_o how_o much_o ease_v his_o own_o have_v be_v while_o travel_v if_o admit_v to_o the_o conversation_n of_o those_o he_o desire_v to_o see_v therefore_o he_o think_v his_o obligation_n to_o stranger_n be_v more_o than_o bare_a civility_n it_o be_v a_o piece_n of_o religious_a charity_n in_o he_o he_o have_v for_o almost_o forty_o year_n labour_v under_o such_o a_o feebleness_n of_o body_n and_o such_o lowness_n of_o strength_n and_o spirit_n that_o it_o will_v appear_v a_o surprise_v thing_n to_o imagine_v how_o it_o be_v possible_a for_o he_o to_o read_v to_o meditate_v to_o try_v experiment_n and_o to_o write_v as_o he_o do_v he_o bear_v all_o his_o infirmity_n and_o some_o sharp_a pain_n with_o the_o decency_n and_o submission_n that_o become_v a_o christian_a and_o a_o philosopher_n he_o have_v about_o he_o all_o that_o unaffected_a neglect_n of_o pomp_n in_o clothes_n lodging_n furniture_n and_o equipage_n which_o agree_v with_o his_o grave_n and_o serious_a course_n of_o life_n he_o be_v advise_v to_o a_o very_a ungrateful_a simplicity_n of_o diet_n which_o by_o all_o appearance_n be_v that_o which_o preserve_v he_o so_o long_o beyond_o all_o man_n expectation_n this_o he_o observe_v so_o strict_o that_o in_o a_o course_n of_o above_o thirty_o year_n he_o neither_o eat_v nor_o drink_v to_o gratify_v the_o variety_n of_o appetite_n but_o mere_o to_o support_v nature_n and_o be_v so_o regular_a in_o it_o that_o he_o never_o once_o transgress_v the_o rule_n measure_n and_o kind_a that_o be_v prescribe_v he_o he_o have_v a_o feebleness_n in_o his_o sight_n his_o eye_n be_v so_o well_o use_v by_o he_o that_o it_o will_v be_v easy_o imagine_v he_o be_v very_o tender_a of_o they_o and_o very_o apprehensive_a of_o such_o distemper_n as_o may_v affect_v they_o he_o do_v also_o imagine_v that_o if_o

he_o fear_v that_o his_o last_o minute_n may_v be_v too_o hard_a for_o he_o and_o this_o be_v the_o root_n of_o all_o the_o caution_n and_o apprehension_n that_o he_o be_v observe_v to_o live_v in_o but_o as_o to_o life_n itself_o he_o have_v the_o just_a indifference_n to_o it_o and_o the_o weariness_n of_o it_o that_o become_v so_o true_a a_o christian._n i_o mention_v these_o the_o rather_o that_o i_o may_v have_v occasion_n to_o show_v the_o goodness_n of_o god_n to_o he_o in_o the_o two_o thing_n that_o he_o fear_v for_o his_o sight_n begin_v not_o to_o grow_v dim_a above_o four_o

that_o it_o be_v plain_a the_o light_n go_v out_o mere_o for_o want_v of_o oil_n to_o maintain_v the_o flame_n but_o i_o have_v look_v too_o early_o to_o this_o conclusion_n of_o his_o life_n yet_o before_o i_o can_v come_v at_o it_o i_o find_v there_o be_v still_o much_o in_o my_o way_n his_o charity_n to_o those_o that_o be_v in_o want_n and_o his_o bounty_n to_o all_o learned_a man_n that_o be_v put_v to_o wrestle_v with_o difficulty_n be_v so_o very_o extraordinary_a and_o so_o many_o do_v partake_v of_o they_o that_o i_o may_v spend_v little_a time_n on_o this_o article_n great_a sum_n go_v easy_o from_o he_o without_o the_o partiality_n of_o sect_n country_n or_o relation_n for_o he_o consider_v himself_o as_o a_o part_n of_o the_o humane_a nature_n and_o as_o a_o debtor_n to_o
