i_o have_v reason_n to_o believe_v that_o one_o time_n or_o other_o god_n will_v suffer_v that_o man_n to_o take_v away_o my_o life_n now_o it_o be_v impossible_a that_o that_o phrase_n the_o

a_o man_n go_v upward_o and_o the_o spirit_n of_o a_o beast_n to_o the_o earth_n but_o yet_o we_o must_v distinguish_v between_o the_o soul_n of_o good_a and_o bad_a man_n for_o though_o they_o both_o ascend_v yet_o to_o different_a place_n the_o soul_n of_o good_a man_n to_o a_o throne_n of_o immortal_a life_n and_o glory_n but_o the_o soul_n of_o wicked_a man_n ascend_v to_o chain_n of_o

cease_v to_o be_v than_o the_o glory_n of_o that_o day_n due_a to_o he_o be_v obscure_v and_o forget_v but_o before_o i_o dismiss_v this_o head_n i_o must_v consider_v he_o as_o a_o christian_a and_o though_o some_o foolish_a man_n may_v think_v that_o religion_n be_v not_o consistent_a with_o at_o least_o not_o necessary_a to_o a_o military_a employment_n and_o consequent_o that_o man_n of_o that_o profession_n be_v not_o concern_v about_o such_o matter_n yet_o in_o a_o late_a discourse_n i_o have_v endeavour_v to_o prove_v the_o contrary_a by_o show_v that_o there_o have_v be_v and_o be_v such_o thing_n call_v pious_a soldier_n and_o detect_v the_o vanity_n of_o that_o objection_n that_o religion_n debauch_n and_o effeminate_v the_o mind_n of_o mankind_n but_o this_o man_n of_o

for_o that_o end_n he_o endeavour_v to_o make_v it_o as_o much_o his_o business_n as_o the_o great_a and_o necessary_a avocation_n of_o his_o employment_n will_v permit_v we_o can_v reasonable_o expect_v that_o those_o man_n who_o be_v place_v in_o high_a and_o difficult_a employment_n that_o they_o shall_v be_v so_o warm_o zealous_a and_o so_o perfect_o religious_a as_o those_o who_o be_v cloister_v up_o and_o sequester_v from_o the_o world_n for_o that_o end_n and_o purpose_n but_o this_o i_o will_v venture_v to_o say_v of_o this_o disceased_a worthy_a that_o whereas_o some_o man_n religion_n consist_v in_o mean_a appearance_n that_o he_o be_v more_o sincere_o religious_a than_o what_o he_o appear_v to_o be_v i_o be_o sure_a he_o be_v master_n of_o two_o of_o the_o great_a christian_a virtue_n in_o the_o gospel_n i._n e._n mercifulness_n and_o charity_n how_o ready_a be_v he_o to_o pardon_v the_o offence_n of_o a_o enemy_n and_o to_o treat_v those_o generous_o that_o have_v do_v he_o ill_a office_n as_o he_o never_o raise_v a_o ill_a report_n of_o his_o neighbour_n so_o neither_o do_v he_o entertain_v the_o malicious_a whisper_v of_o those_o that_o do_v he_o be_v always_o ready_a to_o compose_v difference_n and_o to_o heal_v every_o breach_n that_o be_v make_v between_o friend_n or_o enemy_n whatever_o fail_n therefore_o he_o may_v be_v guilty_a of_o for_o the_o best_a have_v their_o spot_n i_o do_v not_o question_v but_o these_o two_o grace_n have_v atone_v for_o all_o have_v overballanced_a the_o whole_a account_n i_o be_o sure_a our_o saviour_n in_o that_o discourse_n upon_o the_o mount_n have_v tell_v we_o that_o the_o merciful_a shall_v obtain_v mercy_n and_o st._n peter_n speak_v by_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n tell_v we_o that_o charity_n shall_v cover_v a_o multitude_n of_o sin_n to_o be_v short_a he_o be_v a_o tender_a husband_n and_o a_o indulgent_a father_n a_o true_a friend_n and_o a_o generous_a enemy_n and_o indeed_o upon_o this_o score_n our_o loss_n be_v very_o great_a the_o king_n have_v lose_v a_o brave_a and_o experience_a captain_n a_o good_a and_o loyal_a subject_n the_o regiment_n a_o kind_n and_o easy_a commander_n the_o neighbourhood_n a_o just_a and_o humble_a man_n and_o the_o whole_a land_n a_o gentleman_n of_o the_o sweet_a temper_n and_o most_o desirable_a conversation_n in_o the_o world_n but_o i_o must_v hasten_v to_o the_o memorial_n of_o his_o lady_n and_o i_o shall_v be_v very_o brief_a in_o what_o i_o say_v and_o first_o then_o she_o be_v spring_v from_o pious_a and_o religious_a parent_n who_o have_v make_v it_o their_o business_n to_o instruct_v her_o early_a in_o the_o way_n of_o virtue_n i_o may_v say_v of_o she_o what_o st._n paul_n say_v of_o timothy_n that_o from_o a_o child_n she_o have_v know_v the_o holy_a scripture_n and_o as_o she_o grow_v in_o year_n she_o advance_v in_o understanding_n until_o she_o have_v arrive_v to_o such_o a_o perfection_n in_o the_o knowledge_n of_o divine_a mystery_n that_o few_o i_o think_v of_o her_o sex_n in_o the_o kingdom_n of_o england_n be_v better_a able_a to_o maintain_v the_o principle_n of_o the_o protestant_a religion_n than_o she_o be_v but_o this_o be_v but_o the_o least_o part_n for_o she_o only_o learn_v to_o practice_n only_o read_v the_o scripture_n that_o she_o may_v be_v the_o better_a able_a not_o only_o to_o understand_v but_o to_o do_v her_o duty_n for_o she_o know_v very_o well_o that_o the_o end_n of_o all_o knowledge_n be_v practice_n and_o that_o without_o this_o all_o the_o rest_n be_v but_o shadow_n and_o appearance_n i_o know_v indeed_o she_o have_v many_o enemy_n and_o that_o of_o all_o rank_n and_o quality_n but_o this_o be_v no_o wonder_n if_o we_o consider_v the_o reason_n why_o she_o be_v a_o woman_n of_o retirement_n of_o religion_n and_o virtue_n a_o lover_n of_o god_n of_o his_o church_n of_o his_o minister_n and_o holy_a office_n and_o these_o you_o all_o know_v be_v hate_v by_o the_o world_n be_v abhor_v ridicule_v and_o undervalue_v and_o therefore_o when_o ever_o she_o meet_v with_o those_o despiser_n and_o contemner_n of_o religion_n she_o always_o take_v up_o the_o gauntlet_n in_o the_o defence_n of_o christ_n and_o his_o gospel_n she_o be_v not_o ashamed_a to_o own_v he_o before_o the_o great_a quality_n nor_o afraid_a to_o reprove_v those_o son_n of_o darkness_n when_o occasion_n serve_v so_o that_o i_o may_v say_v of_o she_o what_o st._n paul_n say_v of_o himself_o in_o the_o like_a case_n that_o many_o become_v her_o enemy_n because_o she_o tell_v they_o the_o truth_n week_n eye_n be_v willing_a to_o behold_v the_o sun_n but_o when_o they_o can_v they_o curse_v its_o splendour_n and_o thus_o it_o be_v with_o wicked_a man_n they_o always_o malign_v and_o speak_v evil_a of_o that_o virtue_n which_o they_o neither_o desire_v nor_o be_v able_a to_o imitate_v in_o one_o word_n if_o we_o consider_v she_o in_o all_o respect_n as_o a_o wife_n as_o a_o mother_n as_o a_o friend_n as_o a_o neighbour_n and_o as_o a_o christian_a i_o think_v i_o may_v without_o vanity_n make_v use_n of_o solomon_n word_n many_o woman_n have_v do_v

only_o beg_v leave_v to_o reflect_v upon_o what_o have_v be_v speak_v and_o so_o conclude_v be_v it_o so_o then_o that_o god_n usual_o remove_v the_o good_a and_o pious_a out_o of_o this_o life_n that_o they_o may_v not_o behold_v those_o judgement_n and_o misery_n that_o he_o be_v resolve_v to_o bring_v upon_o the_o place_n where_o they_o live_v let_v we_o then_o be_v concern_v for_o the_o
