the_o generation_n to_o come_v first_o you_o have_v hear_v how_o uprightness_n show_v itself_o in_o prize_v communion_n with_o god_n and_o in_o a_o faithful_a improvement_n of_o all_o opportunity_n for_o that_o purpose_n 1_o in_o respect_n of_o prize_v of_o communion_n with_o god_n it_o be_v a_o rare_a thing_n to_o behold_v such_o constant_a freshness_n of_o spirit_n and_o affectionate_a esteem_v of_o communion_n with_o god_n i_o have_v frequent_o see_v she_o weep_v in_o she_o speak_v of_o and_o lament_v after_o communion_n with_o christ_n but_o it_o be_v a_o rare_a thing_n for_o she_o to_o weep_v because_o of_o any_o outward_a loss_n or_o cross_v whatsoever_o oh_o she_o have_v keep_v the_o strength_n of_o her_o affection_n for_o the_o lord_n christ_n who_o her_o soul_n love_v the_o communion_n with_o god_n which_o she_o have_v be_v manifest_a in_o pouring_n out_o of_o her_o heart_n in_o his_o presence_n psal_n 6_o 2._o and_o it_o be_v likewise_o manifest_a in_o her_o thirsting_n after_o opportunity_n of_o meeting_n with_o god_n i_o have_v observe_v such_o a_o frequent_a longing_n for_o a_o sabbath_n and_o long_v of_o soul_n for_o a_o sermon_n for_o a_o day_n of_o fast_v and_o prayer_n and_o other_o opportunity_n and_o i_o have_v hear_v she_o frequent_o say_v that_o a_o joyful_a sabbath_n do_v comfort_v she_o all_o the_o week_n after_o and_o a_o sad_a sabbath_n make_v a_o sad_a week_n that_o the_o lord_n have_v bring_v her_o desire_n into_o that_o one_o desire_n psal_n 27.4_o and_o thus_o precious_a to_o her_o soul_n be_v one_o day_n in_o the_o house_n of_o

if_o she_o can_v possible_o go_v to_o the_o house_n of_o god_n whatever_o her_o bodily_a weakness_n be_v yet_o she_o do_v not_o suffer_v any_o harm_n but_o many_o time_n feel_v that_o it_o be_v strength_n not_o only_o to_o her_o soul_n but_o health_n to_o her_o body_n prov._n 4.8_o you_o hear_v in_o the_o second_o place_n how_o uprightness_n show_v itself_o in_o secret_a communion_n with_o

gather_v out_o that_o portion_n which_o do_v belong_v to_o she_o it_o be_v very_o rare_a that_o one_o day_n in_o the_o week_n pass_v but_o she_o must_v set_v a_o time_n to_o read_v and_o meditate_v and_o apply_v the_o word_n to_o her_o own_o soul_n and_o be_v i_o able_a to_o rehearse_v the_o many_o spiritual_a weighty_a and_o narrow_a question_n and_o discourse_n i_o have_v hear_v from_o she_o

2.12_o thus_o of_o her_o act_n towards_o god_n 2._o you_o have_v hear_v how_o uprightness_n show_v itself_o in_o act_n towards_o other_o first_o in_o word_n second_o in_o work_n in_o respect_n to_o
