memorable_a and_o exemplary_a couple_n i_o may_v well_o join_v they_o in_o my_o speech_n they_o be_v so_o many_o way_n join_v in_o themselves_o they_o be_v join_v in_o affinity_n and_o alliance_n they_o be_v join_v in_o affection_n and_o love_n they_o be_v join_v in_o the_o quality_n and_o nature_n of_o their_o disease_n and_o will_v not_o be_v sever_v till_o death_n do_v it_o in_o the_o time_n of_o their_o sickness_n they_o be_v join_v in_o the_o comfort_n of_o death_n and_o now_o they_o be_v join_v in_o the_o glory_n of_o a_o everlasting_a life_n but_o the_o former_n rite_n be_v pass_v yet_o they_o may_v not_o be_v now_o pass_v over_o i_o can_v but_o give_v she_o a_o touch_n she_o desire_v it_o from_o i_o and_o i_o be_o sure_a she_o deserve_v it_o for_o the_o latter_a here_o now_o in_o your_o sight_n i_o shall_v not_o speak_v much_o because_o i_o can_v hardly_o speak_v enough_o with_o her_o former_a time_n i_o have_v have_v no_o acquaintance_n and_o therefore_o can_v make_v no_o relation_n of_o it_o only_o i_o assure_v myself_o that_o she_o who_o be_v so_o patient_a and_o penitent_a in_o her_o sickness_n so_o devout_a and_o cheerful_a in_o her_o death_n can_v not_o but_o be_v well_o and_o religious_o dispose_v in_o the_o course_n of_o her_o life_n but_o for_o the_o latter_a part_n of_o her_o day_n they_o i_o have_v know_v and_o in_o they_o be_v a_o eye-witness_n of_o the_o expression_n of_o more_o goodness_n than_o i_o have_v often_o see_v or_o from_o a_o woman_n of_o her_o quality_n can_v have_v expect_v the_o thing_n of_o note_n which_o i_o especial_o observe_v in_o she_o and_o shall_v commend_v unto_o you_o be_v principal_o these_o her_o willingness_n to_o entertain_v death_n and_o her_o deadness_n unto_o the_o world_n and_o worldly_a affair_n her_o joy_n in_o spiritual_a discourse_n and_o her_o frequency_n and_o fervency_n in_o devout_a prayer_n for_o the_o first_o if_o we_o consider_v the_o impediment_n it_o be_v much_o she_o shall_v do_v it_o so_o cheerful_o she_o be_v but_o young_a and_o enter_v upon_o the_o prime_n of_o her_o year_n she_o have_v small_a and_o tender_a infant_n of_o her_o own_o that_o go_v near_o she_o she_o be_v well_o bestow_v where_o she_o find_v both_o youth_n and_o love_n and_o mean_n too_o want_v nothing_o nor_o be_v likely_a to_o want_v &_o haec_fw-la sunt_fw-la quae_fw-la faciunt_fw-la homines_fw-la invitos_fw-la mori_fw-la and_o these_o be_v the_o thing_n that_o make_v man_n unwilling_a to_o die_v can_v the_o philosopher_n say_v yet_o notwithstanding_o all_o these_o she_o gentle_o submit_v herself_o unto_o it_o she_o resolute_o go_v forth_o to_o meet_v it_o and_o lest_o he_o shall_v miss_v she_o she_o call_v it_o unto_o she_o come_v gentle_a death_n and_o even_o hold_v forth_o her_o arm_n to_o receive_v and_o embrace_v it_o for_o the_o second_o i_o be_v with_o she_o often_o yet_o never_o hear_v a_o word_n of_o worldly_a matter_n or_o secular_a affair_n so_o much_o as_o fall_v from_o her_o tongue_n her_o heart_n be_v bend_v on_o heaven_n which_o make_v it_o delight_v so_o much_o in_o heavenly_a contemplation_n they_o come_v down_o upon_o she_o as_o the_o scripture_n speak_v like_o rain_n into_o a_o fleece_n of_o wool_n and_o as_o a_o shower_n upon_o a_o thirsty_a land_n with_o what_o a_o open_a and_o greedy_a ear_n do_v she_o suck_v in_o celestial_a comfort_n which_o she_o short_o after_o vent_v out_o again_o in_o devout_a supplication_n wherein_o the_o mercy_n of_o the_o lord_n do_v not_o forsake_v she_o even_o to_o the_o last_o gasp_n and_o then_o at_o last_o when_o her_o hand_n forsake_v her_o tongue_n and_o her_o tongue_n have_v almost_o forsake_v her_o heart_n yet_o her_o heart_n do_v still_o adhere_v unto_o god_n in_o uncessant_a prayer_n and_o therefore_o she_o entreat_v other_o to_o hold_v her_o faint_a hand_n that_o her_o tongue_n fail_v they_o at_o least_o may_v testify_v that_o her_o soul_n do_v commune_v with_o her_o maker_n it_o call_v to_o mind_v the_o story_n of_o moses_n have_v aaron_n and_o hur_z to_o support_v his_o arm_n for_o whilst_o he_o pray_v amalek_n flee_v and_o joshua_n conquer_v sure_o i_o be_o whilst_o she_o do_v in_o like_a manner_n the_o true_a joshua_n conquer_v all_o the_o spiritual_a amalekite_n and_o enemy_n of_o her_o soul_n who_o only_o can_v batter_v down_o the_o prison_n of_o her_o body_n that_o her_o spirit_n be_v loose_a and_o at_o liberty_n may_v free_o clear_v the_o air_n and_o mount_v up_o to_o the_o desire_a place_n of_o everlasting_a rest_n where_o she_o now_o be_v and_o where_o may_v she_o still_o in_o peace_n remain_v till_o another_o day_n shall_v invest_v both_o body_n and_o soul_n with_o unspeakable_a glory_n who_o can_v now_o mourn_v who_o can_v weep_v for_o such_o a_o soul_n if_o you_o do_v they_o must_v be_v tear_n of_o joy_n not_o of_o sorrow_n at_o least_o they_o must_v be_v for_o yourselves_o not_o for_o she_o you_o may_v bewail_v your_o own_o loss_n you_o can_v

she_o have_v show_v they_o the_o example_n for_o this_o shall_v be_v the_o chief_a endeavour_n this_o shall_v be_v the_o principal_a care_n of_o a_o christian_a in_o his_o whole_a life_n that_o when_o

of_o peace_n shall_v never_o end_v for_o as_o the_o tree_n fall_v there_o it_o shall_v lie_v wretched_a man_n that_o can_v willing_o think_v of_o any_o thing_n save_o this_o that_o infinite_o
