spiritual_a concern_v and_o all_o who_o have_v take_v curam_fw-la animarum_fw-la upon_o they_o be_v bind_v to_o see_v that_o their_o charge_n want_v not_o mean_n of_o instruction_n in_o all_o

the_o faith_n every_o one_o of_o the_o ten_o commandment_n all_o the_o petition_n of_o the_o lord_n prayer_n together_o with_o the_o doctrine_n of_o the_o holy_a sacrament_n be_v to_o be_v

the_o public_a censure_n of_o the_o church_n and_o when_o we_o have_v thus_o sincere_o do_v all_o that_o in_o reason_n can_v be_v require_v of_o we_o for_o the_o discharge_n of_o our_o duty_n to_o the_o benefit_v of_o our_o church_n and_o to_o the_o salvation_n of_o their_o soul_n in_o particular_a which_o be_v commit_v to_o our_o own_o care_n we_o may_v safe_o say_v we_o have_v give_v the_o

so_o if_o therefore_o our_o work_n may_v appear_v extreme_o difficult_a and_o our_o discouragement_n many_o great_a and_o unsupportable_a let_v we_o remember_v also_o that_o the_o greatness_n and_o

and_o to_o expect_v the_o reward_n of_o our_o labour_n in_o heaven_n we_o shall_v not_o be_v fit_a to_o be_v god_n minister_n here_o on_o earth_n nor_o shall_v we_o ever_o be_v able_a to_o seek_v the_o thing_n of_o jesus_n christ_n as_o we_o ought_v to_o do_v and_o now_o i_o beseech_v you_o to_o bear_v with_o i_o a_o little_a and_o accept_v a_o word_n of_o admonition_n from_o the_o mean_a of_o your_o brethren_n and_o he_o have_v do_v you_o all_o know_v we_o live_v in_o a_o loose_a distracted_z divide_a and_o miserable_o distemper_a world_n and_o we_o see_v also_o the_o state_n of_o the_o church_n to_o be_v sad_o confound_v break_a and_o pollute_v and_o that_o our_o own_o church_n and_o nation_n in_o particular_a have_v their_o share_n in_o all_o those_o evil_n and_o calamity_n which_o christendom_n at_o present_a groan_v under_o we_o have_v enemy_n many_o subtle_a malicious_a and_o powerful_a threaten_v of_o we_o on_o every_o side_n and_o these_o be_v consideration_n enough_o i_o hope_v to_o make_v we_o all_o extreme_o circumspect_a watchful_a and_o diligent_a in_o our_o several_a station_n and_o capacity_n and_o not_o to_o meddle_v with_o the_o state_n i_o think_v the_o preservation_n of_o the_o best_a constitute_v church_n in_o the_o christian_a world_n depend_v at_o this_o time_n on_o the_o unanimous_a zeal_n steadyness_n and_o wisdom_n of_o her_o clergy_n i_o do_v not_o speak_v this_o or_o any_o thing_n i_o have_v say_v or_o be_o about_o to_o say_v as_o though_o i_o doubt_v whether_o the_o clergy_n of_o the_o church_n of_o england_n be_v not_o general_o speak_v some_o of_o the_o most_o learned_a best_a and_o wise_a that_o be_v this_o day_n upon_o the_o earth_n but_o only_o that_o i_o think_v it_o be_v never_o more_o necessary_a that_o they_o shall_v be_v such_o and_o because_o i_o be_o extreme_o desirous_a that_o whatsoever_o be_v a_o miss_n among_o they_o may_v be_v amend_v and_o that_o they_o may_v abound_v more_o and_o more_o as_o the_o apostle_n
