the_o more_o excellent_a way_n or_o a_o proposal_n of_o a_o complete_a work_n of_o charity_n for_o the_o accommodation_n of_o some_o devout_a woman_n with_o such_o mean_a but_o convenient_a habitation_n work_n wages_n and_o relief_n that_o they_o may_v have_v time_n and_o strength_n for_o the_o worship_n of_o god_n both_o in_o public_a and_o private_a and_o freedom_n of_o mind_n for_o meditation_n and_o religious_a exercise_n while_o their_o hand_n be_v employ_v for_o maintenance_n of_o the_o body_n and_o that_o while_o they_o enjoy_v the_o benefit_n of_o such_o accommodation_n for_o their_o own_o soul_n their_o benefactor_n and_o the_o church_n and_o nation_n may_v be_v benefit_v by_o their_o constant_a prayer_n the_o great_a part_n of_o the_o work_n of_o charity_n among_o we_o be_v but_o of_o little_a more_o use_n than_o for_o mere_a temporal_a accommodation_n the_o reason_n be_v because_o there_o be_v neither_o any_o limitation_n in_o the_o choice_n of_o the_o person_n that_o they_o be_v indeed_o of_o the_o household_n of_o faith_n that_o be_v of_o know_a and_o approve_a virtue_n piety_n and_o devotion_n nor_o such_o provision_n make_v that_o they_o be_v
