great_a part_n of_o his_o time_n in_o heaven_n his_o solemn_a hour_n of_o prayer_n take_v up_o a_o considerable_a portion_n of_o his_o life_n and_o we_o be_v not_o to_o doubt_v but_o he_o have_v learn_v of_o st._n paul_n to_o pray_v continual_o and_o that_o occasional_a ejaculation_n and_o frequent_a aspiration_n and_o emigration_n of_o his_o soul_n after_o god_n make_v up_o the_o best_a part_n of_o his_o devotion_n 30._o but_o he_o be_v not_o only_o a_o good_a man_n god-ward_o but_o he_o be_v come_v to_o the_o top_n of_o st._n peter_n gradation_n and_o to_o all_o his_o other_o

convince_v that_o charity_n be_v steward_n for_o a_o great_a proportion_n of_o his_o revenue_n but_o the_o hungry_a that_o he_o feed_v and_o the_o naked_a that_o he_o clothe_v and_o the_o distress_a that_o he_o supply_v and_o the_o fatherless_a that_o he_o provide_v for_o the_o poor_a child_n that_o he_o put_v to_o apprentice_n and_o bring_v up_o at_o school_n and_o maintain_v at_o the_o

of_o it_o 31._o to_o sum_v up_o all_o in_o a_o few_o word_n this_o great_a prelate_n have_v the_o good_a humour_n of_o a_o gentleman_n the_o eloquence_n of_o a_o orator_n the_o fancy_n of_o a_o poet_n
