as_o it_o be_v most_o foul_a and_o false_a so_o it_o can_v be_v long_o live_v and_o true_o i_o have_v gather_v these_o note_n of_o god_n favour_n and_o her_o felicity_n for_o this_o special_a end_n that_o malicious_a man_n shall_v be_v afraid_a to_o mingle_v their_o curse_n among_o so_o many_o blessing_n of_o god_n after_o all_o this_o if_o any_o shall_v say_v as_o one_o do_v of_o caesar_n we_o hear_v of_o thing_n whereat_o we_o wonder_v but_o look_v for_o thing_n which_o we_o may_v commend_v i_o very_o think_v that_o true_a admiration_n be_v certain_a excess_n of_o praise_n and_o very_o these_o felicity_n here_o describe_v can_v befall_v to_o any_o who_o be_v not_o visible_o sustain_v with_o divine_a favour_n and_o in_o some_o sort_n have_v not_o set_v their_o life_n in_o aim_n of_o

contumelious_a man_n in_o her_o religion_n she_o be_v pious_a constant_a moderate_a and_o can_v not_o away_o with_o innovation_n her_o piety_n chief_o appear_v in_o her_o work_n and_o action_n but_o it_o be_v also_o see_v in_o the_o ordinary_a course_n and_o conversation_n of_o her_o life_n she_o be_v seldom_o absent_a from_o prayer_n in_o her_o closet_n or_o at_o sermon_n and_o solemn_a

when_o she_o mention_v god_n though_o in_o common_a talk_n add_v for_o the_o most_o part_n of_o creator_n cast_v as_o i_o have_v often_o observe_v her_o face_n &_o eye_n into_o a_o reverend_a form_n of_o humility_n and_o whereat_o some_o have_v publish_v that_o she_o put_v off_o the_o thought_n of_o mortality_n nor_o can_v abide_v to_o hear_v of_o old_a age_n or_o death_n it_o be_v most_o untrue_a for_o many_o year_n before_o her_o end_n she_o be_v not_o nice_a often_o and_o with_o much_o grace_n to_o call_v herself_o old_a woman_n and_o use_v to_o discourse_v of_o her_o tomb_n and_o what_o inscription_n will_v most_o please_v she_o say_v she_o delight_v not_o in_o long_a title_n or_o shadow_n of_o glory_n a_o line_n or_o two_o will_v be_v enough_o for_o her_o memory_n which_o in_o few_o word_n shall_v only_o express_v her_o name_n in_o her_o virginity_n the_o time_n of_o her_o reign_n the_o restore_n of_o religion_n &_o establishment_n of_o peace_n true_a it_o be_v that_o be_v once_o importune_v to_o declare_v her_o successor_n whilst_o she_o be_v yet_o in_o her_o full_a strength_n not_o unfit_a to_o bear_v child_n she_o will_v not_o endure_v her_o wind_a sheet_n to_o be_v spread_v before_o her_o eye_n and_o yet_o not_o long_o before_o her_o death_n sit_v pensive_a and_o as_o it_o be_v muse_v of_o mortality_n as_o one_o come_v and_o tell_v she_o that_o divers_a place_n stand_v too_o long_o vacant_a in_o the_o state_n she_o rise_v up_o somewhat_o offend_v and_o say_v she_o know_v well_o enough_o that_o her_o place_n will_v not_o stand_v a_o instant_n empty_a her_o moderation_n may_v perchance_o be_v doubt_v in_o matter_n of_o religion_n consider_v the_o severity_n of_o those_o law_n she_o make_v against_o the_o papist_n but_o herein_o we_o will_v
