pattern_n that_o london_n have_v set_v a_o due_a allowance_n be_v make_v for_o your_o great_a disadvantage_n but_o i_o must_v not_o forget_v to_o pay_v that_o just_a honour_n that_o be_v due_a to_o those_o of_o you_o that_o belong_v to_o the_o establish_v church_n that_o it_o be_v you_o both_o in_o london_n and_o here_o that_o begin_v this_o pious_a design_n of_o put_v the_o law_n against_o

and_o adherence_n to_o the_o establish_v church_n cut_v off_o from_o the_o profane_a and_o licentious_a part_n of_o the_o age_n all_o pretence_n of_o run_v down_o this_o excellent_a work_n as_o if_o it_o be_v only_o the_o factious_a design_n of_o a_o party_n but_o since_o you_o have_v lead_v the_o way_n i_o hope_v protestant_n dissenter_n will_v not_o fail_v to_o tread_v in_o your_o glorious_a step_n but_o will_v join_v both_o their_o heart_n and_o their_o hand_n with_o you_o in_o thus_o advance_v the_o interest_n of_o uncontested_a piety_n and_o virtue_n on_o the_o ruin_n of_o irreligion_n and_o vice_n nay_o i_o hope_v that_o our_o thus_o unite_n in_o this_o eminent_a service_n to_o the_o cause_n of_o our_o common_a lord_n and_o master_n will_v lay_v some_o foundation_n of_o a_o happy_a union_n of_o our_o affection_n i_o hope_v we_o shall_v hereby_o be_v more_o full_o convince_v how_o much_o more_o great_a and_o valuable_a those_o thing_n be_v wherein_o we_o be_v happy_o agree_v

practical_a holiness_n and_o need_v little_a more_o towards_o perfect_v our_o concord_n than_o the_o make_v the_o great_a thing_n of_o christianity_n which_o we_o all_o own_o the_o only_a term_n of_o our_o mutual_a communion_n but_o to_o return_v from_o this_o digression_n i_o shall_v now_o add_v that_o consider_v your_o circumstance_n and_o number_n i_o think_v that_o the_o great_a god_n have_v as_o remarkable_o own_a and_o succeed_v your_o diligent_a attempt_n for_o reformation_n here_o as_o he_o have_v those_o of_o our_o brethren_n in_o london_n for_o beside_o the_o considerable_a progress_n you_o have_v make_v towards_o suppress_v lewdness_n and_o restrain_v the_o open_a profanation_n of_o the_o lordsday_n i_o be_o well_o assure_v that_o there_o have_v be_v near_o 3000_o

number_n of_o offender_n which_o seem_v at_o first_o so_o discourage_v begin_v very_o sensible_o to_o decrease_v upon_o our_o hand_n and_o i_o doubt_v not_o you_o will_v find_v that_o manyof_o those_o difficulty_n which_o at_o first_o view_n seem_v insuperable_a will_v be_v conquer_v by_o a_o steady_a resolution_n and_o true_o what_o we_o have_v already_o gain_v be_v a_o considerable_a step_n we_o may_v hope_v that_o the_o habit_n of_o vice_n will_v be_v gradual_o break_v when_o the_o ordinary_a practice_n of_o it_o be_v so_o much_o refrain_v and_o we_o may_v hope_v that_o its_o curse_a contagion_n will_v be_v in_o a_o great_a measure_n stop_v when_o the_o instance_n of_o it_o be_v comparative_o rare_a seldom_o appear_v in_o public_a view_n and_o not_o without_o great_a hazard_n of_o discovery_n and_o punishment_n so_o that_o the_o licentious_a sinner_n of_o the_o age_n will_v be_v no_o long_o harden_v by_o the_o commonness_n and_o the_o impunity_n of_o their_o crime_n be_v not_o then_o afraid_a my_o brethren_n of_o encounter_v all_o the_o opposition_n of_o a_o profane_a and_o lewd_a generation_n for_o let_v i_o tell_v you_o that_o vice_n after_o all_o it_o be_v empty_a
