as_o you_o be_v wont_a to_o do_v our_o minister_n i_o assure_v you_o will_v not_o allow_v they_o to_o enjoy_v this_o name_n who_o be_v lover_n of_o themselves_o covetous_a boaster_n proud_a false_a

else_o i_o leave_v you_o to_o judge_n n._n c._n true_o i_o think_v once_o that_o the_o power_n of_o godliness_n have_v consist_v in_o keep_v the_o sabbath_n in_o repeat_v sermon_n have_v a_o gift_n of_o prayer_n and_o use_v it_o in_o our_o family_n treasure_v up_o and_o communicate_v experience_n and_o meet_v together_o to_o exercise_v our_o gift_n and_o now_o it_o come_v into_o my_o mind_n on_o a_o sudden_a this_o be_v a_o thing_n which_o have_v make_v i_o fear_v you_o want_v at_o least_o a_o great_a deal_n of_o the_o power_n of_o godliness_n that_o you_o never_o keep_v a_o day_n together_o c._n strange_a i_o think_v on_o the_o contrary_a that_o this_o have_v be_v one_o of_o our_o accusation_n our_o keep_n too_o many_o day_n n._n c._n real_o i_o never_o hear_v that_o any_o of_o you_o

perceive_v you_o understand_v not_o my_o language_n i_o mean_v that_o we_o keep_v a_o private_a day_n together_o which_o we_o set_v apart_o for_o prayer_n and_o humble_v ourselves_o before_o god_n and_o hear_v the_o word_n c._n alas_o how_o shall_v i_o guess_v at_o your_o meaning_n when_o as_o i_o think_v you_o will_v have_v keep_v no_o day_n but_o that_o of_o god_n appoint_v n._n c._n yes_o we_o can_v keep_v other_o day_n and_o think_v we_o ought_v at_o least_o that_o there_o be_v much_o religion_n in_o it_o c._n why_o then_o will_v you_o not_o keep_v those_o which_o your_o governor_n appoint_v have_v you_o power_n to_o appoint_v day_n and_o not_o they_o i_o be_o sorry_a to_o see_v your_o partiality_n and_o that_o you_o be_v so_o full_a of_o humour_n as_o not_o to_o do_v thing_n when_o you_o be_v bid_v and_o yet_o to_o do_v the_o same_o when_o you_o be_v not_o bid_v nay_o when_o you_o be_v forbid_v n._n c._n o_o but_o we_o do_v not_o keep_v day_n as_o you_o do_v c._n what_o be_v that_o to_o the_o purpose_n see_v what_o we_o do_v be_v good_a why_o shall_v you_o not_o join_v with_o we_o in_o it_o you_o pray_v and_o so_o do_v we_o you_o read_v the_o scripture_n and_o so_o do_v we_o you_o give_v thanks_o to_o god_n and_o that_o be_v part_n of_o our_o business_n only_o we_o do_v it_o in_o public_a and_o you_o in_o private_a we_o when_v our_o governor_n will_v have_v we_o and_o you_o when_o it_o please_v yourselves_o n._n c._n we_o not_o only_o pray_v but_o hear_v a_o sermon_n also_o when_o we_o keep_v our_o day_n c._n so_o you_o may_v at_o some_o of_o our_o church_n if_o you_o please_v every_o holiday_n but_o what_o a_o foolish_a conceit_n be_v this_o to_o think_v that_o this_o make_v a_o day_n not_o to_o be_v well_o observe_v if_o we_o want_v a_o sermon_n this_o be_v a_o piece_n of_o the_o superstition_n i_o tell_v you_o of_o for_o be_v it_o not_o always_o the_o chief_a design_n of_o those_o day_n we_o observe_v to_o acknowledge_v god_n to_o praise_v he_o in_o all_o his_o wonderful_a work_n to_o meditate_v on_o his_o admirable_a mercy_n in_o send_v his_o son_n in_o give_v he_o to_o die_v for_o we_o in_o raise_v he_o from_o the_o dead_a in_o send_v the_o holy_a ghost_n and_o after_o that_o the_o bless_a apostle_n to_o preach_v the_o gospel_n and_o be_v not_o this_o sufficient_a work_n for_o one_o day_n or_o can_v we_o meditate_v upon_o the_o holy_a scripture_n the_o read_v or_o on_o the_o sermon_n we_o hear_v the_o lord_n day_n before_o but_o we_o must_v needs_o have_v a_o new_a sermon_n or_o else_o think_v god_n be_v not_o glorify_v nor_o well_o please_v i_o be_o amaze_v at_o the_o gross_a absurdity_n of_o such_o fancy_n n._n c._n you_o may_v be_v so_o but_o we_o shall_v never_o leave_v they_o nor_o come_v to_o church_n till_o you_o have_v more_o than_o common_a prayer_n on_o those_o day_n c._n i_o can_v understand_v any_o reason_n for_o that_o resolution_n for_o if_o you_o be_v not_o satisfy_v with_o our_o service_n but_o yet_o must_v needs_o have_v something_o else_o why_o do_v you_o not_o come_v to_o the_o public_a prayer_n &_o praise_n first_o and_o then_o make_v up_o their_o defect_n as_o you_o conceive_v in_o your_o private_a meeting_n or_o why_o do_v you_o not_o seek_v and_o endeavour_v that_o these_o day_n may_v be_v keep_v more_o religious_o see_v public_a praising_n god_n be_v far_o better_a than_o private_a and_o do_v he_o more_o honour_n in_o the_o world_n for_o my_o part_n i_o very_o think_v and_o i_o speak_v it_o sincere_o that_o if_o you_o will_v come_v to_o church_n and_o there_o join_v in_o the_o public_a service_n of_o god_n and_o then_o go_v home_o and_o spend_v some_o other_o part_n of_o the_o day_n in_o catechise_v your_o child_n instruct_v your_o servant_n teach_v they_o among_o other_o matter_n how_o to_o use_v the_o liberty_n you_o then_o allow_v they_o discreet_o and_o sober_o and_o in_o visit_v invite_a or_o relieve_v your_o poor_a neighbour_n it_o will_v be_v a_o thing_n far_o more_o acceptable_a to_o god_n and_o more_o for_o the_o honour_n of_o christian_a religion_n and_o the_o good_a of_o soul_n than_o a_o whole_a day_n of_o prayer_n and_o hear_v sermon_n n._n c._n i_o be_o not_o yet_o of_o that_o mind_n c._n why_o look_v over_o all_o the_o family_n you_o know_v and_o see_v if_o many_o of_o they_o be_v not_o miserable_o neglect_v whilst_o their_o master_n and_o mistress_n be_v keep_v day_n as_o you_o call_v it_o and_o then_o tell_v i_o whether_o they_o spend_v their_o time_n to_o so_o much_o profit_n and_o true_a comfort_n as_o i_o will_v have_v they_o n._n c._n i_o think_v some_o may_v be_v too_o negligent_a c._n why_o do_v not_o your_o minister_n chide_v they_o and_o exhort_v the_o good_a woman_n to_o keep_v more_o at_o home_n &_o not_o under_o a_o notion_n of_o religion_n neglect_v their_o necessary_a duty_n it_o be_v easy_a to_o tell_v you_o of_o some_o who_o be_v the_o worst_a wife_n and_o mother_n and_o mistress_n in_o the_o parish_n mere_o upon_o this_o account_n that_o most_o of_o their_o time_n have_v be_v take_v up_o in_o gad_v about_o to_o those_o private_a exercise_n sometime_o you_o be_v mighty_o offend_v at_o our_o holiday_n upon_o this_o account_n that_o they_o take_v up_o too_o much_o of_o man_n time_n from_o their_o business_n &_o yet_o you_o can_v be_v content_a to_o see_v a_o day_n set_v apart_o every_o week_n if_o not_o often_o by_o yourselves_o to_o the_o great_a damage_n of_o many_o family_n and_o so_o when_o the_o fit_a be_v upon_o you_o we_o be_v tell_v that_o magistrate_n ought_v not_o to_o bind_v the_o people_n to_o observe_v

shall_v insist_v much_o upon_o do_v for_o there_o be_v more_o spiritual_a matter_n for_o believer_n to_o be_v instruct_v in_o c._n that_o be_v thing_n reveal_v to_o we_o by_o the_o spirit_n send_v

not_o these_o great_a thing_n c._n and_o do_v not_o our_o minister_n treat_v of_o they_o as_o well_o as_o you_o n.c._n but_o none_o in_o a_o spiritual_a way_n we_o treat_v of_o spiritual_a thing_n spiritual_o c._n i_o guess_v what_o you_o mean_v they_o treat_v of_o these_o thing_n in_o such_o a_o manner_n as_o not_o to_o bring_v they_o down_o to_o meddle_v with_o our_o life_n or_o not_o much_o and_o chief_o as_o w._n b._n speak_v or_o thus_o they_o draw_v matter_n of_o comfort_n from_o they_o but_o little_a or_o nothing_o of_o duty_n n.c._n i_o know_v not_o how_o to_o express_v it_o but_o i_o always_o find_v that_o they_o handle_v these_o thing_n in_o a_o sweet_a manner_n than_o other_o man_n c._n i_o believe_v you_o for_o nothing_o be_v so_o sweet_a and_o please_a to_o flesh_n and_o

and_o therefore_o god_n have_v anoint_v he_o with_o the_o oil_n of_o gladness_n above_o his_o fellow_n i_o e._n give_v he_o such_o a_o royal_a power_n in_o the_o heaven_n hebr._n 1.9_o unto_o which_o

infinite_a comfort_n and_o satisfaction_n in_o believe_v that_o our_o lord_n jesus_n be_v so_o exale_v and_o have_v make_v we_o such_o promise_n which_o he_o be_v able_a to_o make_v good_a yet_o all_o

meet_v withal_o for_o christ_n sake_n so_o that_o in_o truth_n these_o be_v the_o most_o spiritual_a preacher_n that_o be_v the_o best_a interpreter_n of_o the_o mind_n of_o the_o spirit_n who_o

of_o the_o lord_n know_v that_o our_o labour_n shall_v not_o be_v in_o vain_a in_o the_o lord_n n.c._n do_v not_o christ_n himself_o say_v that_o the_o work_n of_o god_n be_v believe_v john_n 6.29_o c._n yes_o but_o not_o such_o a_o believe_v as_o you_o which_o be_v only_o a_o rely_v on_o christ_n for_o the_o forgiveness_n of_o your_o sin_n n.c._n what_o be_v it_o then_o c._n a_o effectual_a

if_o you_o can_v think_v he_o mean_v a_o bare_a persuasion_n of_o this_o that_o god_n send_v he_o without_o the_o effect_n and_o fruit_n of_o it_o which_o be_v the_o become_v his_o disciple_n

2_o king_n 18.4_o some_o thing_n abuse_v etc._n etc._n be_v in_o some_o case_n to_o be_v lay_v aside_o but_o i_o conceive_v he_o see_v that_o this_o will_v not_o so_o well_o serve_v his_o purpose_n

to_o show_v that_o because_o some_o particular_a thing_n be_v abolish_v at_o one_o time_n none_o of_o the_o like_a kind_n must_v ever_o be_v use_v and_o then_o he_o must_v have_v proceed_v to_o show_v
