with_o hezekiah_n upon_o a_o deathbed_n remember_v now_o o_o lord_n how_o i_o have_v walk_v before_o thou_o in_o truth_n and_o with_o a_o perfect_a heart_n and_o have_v do_v that_o which_o be_v right_a in_o thy_o eye_n and_o you_o that_o have_v already_o taste_v those_o joy_n which_o arise_v from_o a_o good_a conscience_n and_o the_o pleasure_n of_o a_o godly_a life_n and_o conversation_n fall_v not_o from_o your_o own_o steadfastness_n and_o since_o you_o see_v wicked_a man_n take_v such_o pain_n to_o serve_v their_o lust_n to_o please_v their_o sense_n and_o gratify_v their_o appetite_n be_v you_o at_o some_o pain_n also_o to_o serve_v your_o god_n to_o advance_v his_o glory_n yea_o and_o to_o encourage_v other_o likewise_o to_o do_v the_o same_o and_o if_o there_o be_v but_o two_o in_o a_o street_n that_o intend_v real_o to_o serve_v god_n to_o frequent_v the_o sacrament_n and_o the_o prayer_n of_o the_o church_n let_v they_o make_v it_o their_o business_n to_o persuade_v two_o more_o to_o do_v the_o same_o and_o let_v your_o prayer_n be_v frequent_a and_o fervent_a to_o god_n that_o he_o will_v increase_v the_o number_n of_o true_a believer_n and_o that_o it_o will_v please_v he_o to_o bring_v into_o the_o way_n of_o truth_n all_o such_o as_o have_v err_v and_o be_v deceive_v this_o will_v be_v one_o great_a mean_n to_o mend_v the_o world_n and_o without_o this_o it_o will_v hardly_o be_v do_v it_o be_v not_o good_a book_n nor_o good_a preach_v that_o will_v reclaim_v a_o profane_a and_o profligate_v wretch_n for_o such_o person_n will_v neither_o read_v good_a book_n nor_o hear_v sermon_n they_o be_v out_o of_o the_o reach_n of_o all_o other_o method_n except_o counsel_n advice_n and_o exhortation_n and_o oftentimes_o they_o refuse_v that_o too_o but_o when_o good_a man_n be_v as_o bold_a as_o evil_a man_n be_v impudent_a and_o as_o open_o good_a as_o other_o be_v bad_a when_o piety_n have_v authority_n in_o it_o and_o frown_n profaneness_n out_o of_o countenance_n than_o the_o world_n will_v mend_v and_o if_o not_o grow_v devout_a yet_o at_o least_o grow_v modest_a and_o civil_a towards_o religion_n when_o virtuous_a man_n give_v good_a evidence_n that_o they_o do_v believe_v in_o good_a earnest_n by_o endeavour_v the_o punishment_n of_o all_o vicious_a and_o open_a offender_n as_o the_o law_n direct_v and_o although_o piety_n be_v nowadays_o laugh_v at_o and_o religion_n out_o of_o fashion_n yet_o that_o i_o may_v now_o show_v you_o how_o to_o practise_v what_o i_o have_v be_v hitherto_o recommend_v i_o mean_v a_o christian_a conversation_n and_o society_n i_o must_v tell_v you_o that_o there_o be_v some_o christian_n in_o this_o barren_a age_n and_o those_o of_o considerable_a rank_n and_o quality_n who_o think_v it_o be_v so_o far_o from_o unbecoming_a they_o that_o nothing_o be_v more_o acceptable_a to_o they_o than_o pious_a discourse_n and_o the_o company_n of_o such_o man_n as_o endeavour_v to_o make_v the_o word_n of_o god_n their_o rule_n to_o walk_v by_o and_o i_o have_v both_o know_v &_o hear_v of_o some_o number_n of_o religious_a man_n in_o this_o city_n who_o meet_v at_o one_o another_o house_n usual_o every_o week_n or_o as_o often_o as_o occasion_n permit_v and_o there_o make_v it_o their_o business_n to_o enforce_v upon_o one_o another_o mind_n the_o great_a principle_n of_o christianity_n to_o live_v up_o to_o the_o doctrine_n of_o our_o church_n to_o frequent_v the_o holy_a sacrament_n every_o lord's-day_n and_o the_o public_a prayer_n every_o day_n they_o have_v a_o quick_a sense_n of_o piety_n and_o a_o great_a concern_v upon_o they_o for_o another_o world_n they_o endeavour_v to_o preserve_v this_o temper_n in_o themselves_o and_o to_o propagate_v it_o to_o other_o and_o many_o good_a rule_n they_o have_v among_o they_o and_o by_o their_o frequent_a meeting_n they_o take_v notice_n of_o each_o other_o virtue_n and_o so_o they_o strive_v to_o imitate_v each_o other_o in_o one_o there_o abound_v the_o grace_n of_o meekness_n in_o another_o be_v a_o great_a christian_a courage_n and_o zeal_n to_o stand_v up_o for_o god_n glory_n in_o another_o patience_n in_o another_o self-denial_n and_o mortification_n in_o another_o a_o zeal_n for_o peacemaking_a and_o this_o make_v they_o the_o more_o to_o desire_v each_o other_o company_n as_o be_v monitor_n to_o one_o another_o by_o their_o example_n and_o this_o be_v one_o of_o their_o rule_n never_o to_o speak_v ill_o of_o one_o another_o and_o if_o at_o any_o time_n they_o hear_v ill_o of_o one_o another_o or_o of_o any_o other_o good_a christian_a they_o first_o go_v and_o see_v if_o it_o be_v true_a what_o envious_a man_n do_v report_n of_o he_o right_o consider_v that_o as_o one_o man_n may_v do_v amiss_o so_o may_v another_o more_o easy_o speak_v amiss_o that_o be_v the_o sin_n that_o do_v so_o easy_o beset_v every_o man_n and_o also_o that_o as_o society_n be_v the_o

it_o prove_v true_a that_o such_o a_o one_o have_v be_v overtake_v in_o a_o fault_n they_o take_v the_o apostle_n advice_n and_o restore_v he_o in_o the_o spirit_n of_o meekness_n consider_v themselves_o also_o may_v be_v tempt_v at_o these_o meeting_n there_o be_v no_o discourse_n of_o news_n nor_o trade_n nor_o worldly_a business_n or_o controversy_n in_o religion_n but_o they_o take_v

to_o the_o constant_a read_n and_o study_v of_o the_o holy_a scripture_n that_o the_o word_n of_o christ_n may_v dwell_v rich_o in_o they_o that_o so_o out_o of_o the_o abundance_n of_o the_o heart_n
