a_o copy_n of_o archbishop_n tillotson_n letter_n to_o his_o friend_n sir_n i_o be_o sorry_a to_o understand_v by_o mr._n janeways_o letter_n to_o my_o son_n that_o your_o distemper_n grow_v upon_o you_o and_o that_o you_o seem_v to_o decline_v so_o fast_o i_o be_o very_o sensible_a how_o much_o eaiser_n it_o be_v to_o give_v advice_n against_o trouble_n in_o the_o case_n of_o another_o then_o to_o take_v it_o in_o our_o own_o it_o have_v please_v god_n to_o exercise_n i_o of_o late_a with_o a_o very_a sore_a trial_n in_o the_o loss_n of_o my_o dear_a and_o only_a child_n in_o which_o i_o do_v perfect_o submit_v to_o his_o good_a pleasure_n firm_o believe_v that_o he_o do_v always_o what_o be_v best_a and_o yet_o though_o reason_n be_v satisfy_v our_o passion_n be_v not_o so_o soon_o appease_v and_o when_o nature_n have_v receive_v a_o wound_n time_n must_v be_v allow_v for_o the_o heal_n of_o it_o since_o that_o god_n have_v think_v fit_a to_o give_v i_o a_o near_a summons_n and_o a_o close_o of_o my_o mortality_n in_o the_o danger_n of_o a_o apoplexy_n which_o yet_o i_o thank_v god_n have_v occasion_v no_o very_o melancholy_a reflection_n but_o this_o perhaps_o be_v more_o owe_v to_o natural_a temper_n than_o to_o philosophy_n and_o wise_a consideration_n your_o case_n i_o know_v be_v very_o different_a who_o be_v of_o a_o temper_n natural_o melancholy_a and_o under_o a_o distemper_n apt_a to_o increase_v it_o for_o both_o which_o great_a allowance_n be_v to_o be_v make_v and_o yet_o methinks_v both_o reason_n and_o religion_n do_v offer_v to_o we_o consideration_n of_o that_o solidity_n and_o strength_n as_o may_v very_o well_o support_v our_o spirit_n under_o all_o the_o infirmity_n and_o frailty_n of_o the_o flesh_n such_o as_o these_o that_o god_n be_v perfect_a love_n and_o goodness_n that_o we_o be_v not_o only_o his_o creature_n but_o his_o child_n and_o as_o dear_a to_o he_o as_o to_o ourselves_o that_o he_o do_v not_o afflict_v willing_o nor_o grieve_v the_o child_n of_o man_n and_o that_o all_o evil_n and_o affliction_n which_o shall_v befall_v we_o be_v intend_v for_o the_o cure_n and_o prevention_n of_o great_a evil_n of_o sin_n and_o punishment_n and_o therefore_o we_o ought_v not_o only_o to_o submit_v to_o they_o with_o patience_n as_o be_v deserve_v by_o we_o but_o to_o receive_v they_o with_o thankfulness_n as_o be_v design_v by_o he_o to_o do_v we_o that_o good_a and_o to_o bring_v we_o to_o that_o sense_n of_o he_o and_o ourselves_o which_o perhaps_o nothing_o else_o will_v have_v do_v that_o the_o suffering_n of_o this_o present_a time_n be_v but_o short_a and_o slight_a with_o that_o extreme_a and_o endless_a misery_n which_o we_o have_v deserve_v and_o with_o that_o exceed_a and_o eternal_a weight_n of_o glory_n which_o we_o hope_v for_o in_o the_o other_o world_n that_o if_o we_o be_v careful_a to_o make_v the_o best_a preparation_n we_o can_v for_o death_n and_o eternity_n whatever_o bring_v we_o near_o to_o our_o end_n bring_v we_o near_o to_o happiness_n and_o how_o rugged_a soever_o the_o way_n be_v the_o comfort_n be_v that_o it_o lead_v to_o our_o father_n house_n where_o we_o shall_v want_v nothing_o that_o we_o can_v wish_v when_o we_o labour_v under_o a_o distemper_n that_o threaten_v our_o life_n what_o will_v we_o not_o be_v content_a to_o bear_v in_o order_n to_o a_o perfect_a recovery_n can_v we_o but_o be_v assure_v of_o it_o and_o shall_v we_o not_o be_v willing_a to_o endure_v much_o more_o in_o order_n to_o happiness_n and_o that_o eternal_a life_n which_o god_n that_o can_v lie_v have_v promise_v nature_n i_o know_v be_v fond_a of_o life_n and_o apt_a to_o be_v still_o linger_a after_o a_o long_a continuance_n here_o and_o yet_o a_o long_a life_n with_o the_o usual_a burden_n and_o infirmity_n of_o it_o be_v seldom_o desirable_a it_o be_v but_o the_o same_o thing_n over_o again_o or_o worse_o so_o many_o more_o day_n and_o night_n summer_n and_o winter_n a_o repetition_n of_o the_o same_o pleasure_n but_o with_o less_o pleasure_n and_o relish_v every_o day_n a_o return_n of_o the_o same_o or_o great_a painsor_n trouble_v but_o with_o less_o patience_n and_o strength_n to_o bear_v they_o these_o and_o the_o like_a consideration_n i_o use_v to_o entertain_v myself_o withal_o not_o only_o with_o contentment_n but_o with_o comfort_n though_o with_o great_a inequality_n of_o temper_n at_o several_a time_n and_o with_o much_o mixture_n of_o humane_a frailty_n which_o will_v always_o stick_v to_o we_o while_o we_o be_v in_o this_o world_n however_o by_o these_o kind_n of_o thought_n death_n become_v more_o familiar_a with_o we_o and_o we_o shall_v be_v able_a by_o degree_n to_o bring_v our_o mind_n close_o up_o to_o it_o without_o start_v at_o it_o the_o great_a tenderness_n i_o find_v with_o myself_o be_v with_o regard_n to_o some_o near_a relation_n especial_o the_o dear_a and_o constant_a companion_n of_o my_o life_n which_o i_o must_v confess_v do_v very_o sensible_o touch_v i_o but_o then_o i_o consider_v and_o so_o i_o hope_v will_v they_o also_o that_o this_o separation_n will_v be_v but_o for_o a_o little_a while_n and_o that_o though_o i_o leave_v they_o in_o a_o bad_a world_n yet_o under_o the_o care_n of_o a_o good_a god_n who_o can_v be_v more_o and_o better_a to_o they_o then_o all_o other_o relation_n and_o will_v certain_o be_v so_o to_o those_o that_o love_v he_o and_o hope_v in_o his_o mercy_n i_o shall_v not_o need_v to_o advise_v you_o what_o to_o do_v and_o what_o use_n to_o make_v of_o this_o time_n of_o your_o visitation_n i_o have_v reason_n to_o believe_v that_o you_o have_v be_v careful_a in_o the_o time_n of_o your_o health_n to_o prepare_v for_o this_o evil_a day_n and_o have_v be_v conversant_a in_o those_o book_n which_o give_v the_o best_a direction_n to_o this_o purpose_n and_o have_v not_o as_o too_o many_o do_v put_v of_o the_o great_a work_n of_o your_o life_n to_o the_o end_n of_o it_o and_o then_o you_o have_v nothing_o now_o to_o do_v but_o as_o well_o as_o you_o can_v under_o your_o present_a weakness_n and_o pain_n to_o renew_v your_o repentance_n for_o all_o the_o error_n and_o miscarriage_n of_o your_o life_n and●ses_v of_o god_n and_o the_o hope_n of_o tha●_n happiness_n which_o you_o be_v ready_a to_o enter_v into_o and_o in_o the_o mean_a time_n to_o exercise_n faith_n and_o patience_n for_o a_o little_a while_n be_v of_o good_a courage_n since_o you_o see_v land_n the_o storm_n you_o be_v in_o will_n quick_o be_v over_o and_o then_o it_o will_v be_v as_o if_o it_o have_v never_o be_v or_o rather_o the_o remembrance_n of_o it_o will_v be_v a_o pleasure_n i_o do_v not_o use_v to_o write_v such_o long_a letter_n but_o i_o do_v hearty_o compassionate_a your_o case_n and_o shall_v be_v glad_a if_o i_o can_v suggest_v any_o thing_n that_o may_v help_v to_o mitigate_v your_o trouble_n and_o make_v that_o sharp_a and_o
