word_n and_o deed_n and_o this_o but_o about_o some_o 8._o hour_n before_o heâ—_n death_n and_o for_o the_o parish_n they_o themselves_o well_o know_v that_o they_o have_v lose_v a_o matron_n and_o lose_v a_o motber_n indeed_o and_o for_o the_o poor_a this_o be_v her_o constant_a course_n every_o week_n to_o lay_v up_o something_o for_o they_o to_o see_v how_o the_o lord_n will_v have_v it_o in_o the_o morning_n of_o that_o day_n on_o which_o she_o die_v about_o the_o poor_a neighbour_n for_o who_o we_o pray_v she_o be_v employ_v in_o make_v something_o ready_a for_o he_o yea_o send_v money_n to_o he_o yea_o a_o three_o time_n send_v and_o that_o it_o may_v not_o be_v do_v for_o ostentation_n she_o will_v sometime_o charge_v the_o servant_n that_o carry_v the_o alm_n to_o give_v the_o alm_n so_o as_o to_o conceal_v the_o name_n thus_o both_o parish_n and_o poor_a all_o have_v a_o loss_n now_o for_o her_o twofold_n outward_a state_n as_o thus_o she_o carry_v towards_o all_o person_n so_o thus_o also_o she_o carry_v in_o all_o estate_n still_o she_o be_v constant_a with_o her_o god_n in_o the_o time_n of_o prosperity_n so_o humble_a so_o thankful_a so_o bountiful_a and_o liberal_a she_o be_v in_o the_o time_n of_o any_o cross_n or_o loss_n or_o adversity_n oh_o than_o the_o strength_n of_o the_o patience_n and_o long-suffering_a of_o this_o godly_a soul_n oh_o what_o wisdom_n do_v she_o show_v what_o subjection_n unto_o god_n will_n nay_o what_o fruitfulness_n also_o after_o the_o affliction_n be_v pass_v thus_o do_v she_o go_v through_o suffering_n she_o tell_v i_o not_o long_o since_o that_o the_o lord_n have_v answer_v every_o prayer_n that_o she_o have_v put_v up_o as_o if_o he_o shall_v have_v say_v to_o she_o why_o child_n i_o will_v both_o direct_v thou_o what_o to_o ask_v and_o i_o will_v also_o answer_v thou_o in_o what_o thou_o ask_v as_o the_o lord_n say_v to_o moses_n concern_v the_o people_n of_o israel_n let_v i_o alone_o so_o concern_v her_o last_o dear_a child_n i_o shall_v never_o forget_v her_o word_n ah_o say_v she_o i_o can_v never_o yet_o get_v my_o heart_n enlarge_v in_o pray_v for_o his_o life_n because_o to_o wit_n the_o lord_n have_v a_o purpose_n to_o take_v he_o unto_o himself_o therefore_o he_o restrain_v the_o spirit_n of_o his_o servant_n from_o be_v so_o instant_a with_o he_o in_o pray_v for_o his_o life_n thus_o you_o have_v see_v some_o thing_n in_o relation_n to_o god_n to_o man_n to_o person_n to_o thing_n to_o state_n now_o for_o the_o second_o thing_n that_o we_o propound_v that_o be_v concern_v her_o heavenly_a mindedness_n eertain_o her_o conversation_n be_v in_o heaven_n for_o all_o her_o endeavour_n do_v tend_v thitherwards_o nay_o she_o have_v a_o heart_n set_v for_o heaven_n and_o she_o have_v set_v her_o affection_n on_o thing_n above_o long_a before_o and_o for_o the_o world_n oh_o how_o often_o will_v she_o speak_v of_o that_o as_o have_v her_o heart_n take_v off_o from_o the_o world_n and_o find_v that_o the_o thing_n of_o the_o world_n do_v steal_v away_o her_o hearâ—_n she_o cut_v of_o the_o affection_n by_o take_v away_o the_o occasion_n what_o say_v she_o you_o thing_n of_o this_o life_n do_v you_o begin_v to_o steal_v away_o my_o heart_n from_o heaven_n and_o heavenly_a thing_n away_o with_o you_o let_v not_o i_o be_v trouble_v with_o you_o that_o therefore_o which_o the_o man_n of_o the_o world_n do_v look_v after_o so_o careful_o as_o love_v it_o dear_o even_o their_o gold_n and_o silver_n she_o find_v it_o somewhat_o to_o encroach_v upon_o her_o affection_n her_o husband_n must_v have_v it_o she_o will_v not_o keep_v it_o and_o in_o respect_n of_o her_o expression_n many_o and_o many_o a_o time_n concern_v her_o desire_n to_o be_v absent_a from_o the_o body_n that_o she_o may_v be_v present_a with_o the_o lord_n oh_o how_o saintlike_a do_v she_o express_v herself_o now_o see_v in_o this_o manner_n as_o you_o have_v hear_v towards_o god_n and_o towards_o man_n in_o the_o use_n of_o all_o good_a mean_n she_o be_v walk_v &_o step_v on_o still_o towards_o heaven_n and_o see_v that_o she_o set_v heaven_n and_o the_o lord_n jesus_n before_o she_o thus_o press_v hard_o forward_o towards_o the_o mark_n for_o the_o price_n of_o her_o high_a call_n we_o may_v say_v two_o thing_n for_o conclusion_n first_o we_o may_v say_v this_o that_o though_o we_o have_v lose_v yet_o she_o have_v gain_v to_o eternity_n and_o second_o this_o also_o we_o may_v say_v and_o so_o i_o come_v unto_o my_o text_n that_o though_o many_o have_v do_v virtuous_o yet_o may_v i_o not_o speak_v of_o heâ—_n as_o solomon_n do_v therâ—_n haste_v not_o thou_o excel_v they_o all_o and_o so_o from_o she_o unto_o our_o text_n we_o pass_v with_o what_o brevity_n may_v be_v the_o sermon_n prov_n 31._o 29._o many_o daughter_n have_v do_v virtuous_o but_o thou_o excelle_v they_o all_o in_o the_o latter_a end_n of_o this_o last_o chapter_n there_o be_v

be_v for_o the_o praise_n commendation_n and_o honour_n of_o a_o virtuous_a and_o godly_a woman_n we_o will_v therefore_o from_o the_o word_n at_o this_o time_n handle_v this_o one_o truth_n doct._n
