withal_o if_o the_o censurer_n please_v to_o try_v he_o shall_v be_v force_v to_o confess_v that_o it_o be_v not_o possible_a to_o draw_v the_o moral_a any_o more_o than_o the_o natural_a picture_n of_o our_o bless_a saviour_n to_o the_o life_n the_o other_o request_n be_v that_o he_o will_v afford_v this_o discourse_n more_o than_o a_o cursory_a read_n and_o that_o if_o any_o thing_n strike_v he_o upon_o the_o first_o view_n he_o will_v allow_v it_o a_o far_a consideration_n for_o my_o hope_n be_v that_o the_o hint_n here_o offer_v will_v become_v more_o useful_a the_o more_o familiar_a
