whosoever_o consider_v the_o condition_n of_o the_o city_n of_o london_n and_o westminster_n as_o they_o be_v former_o and_o as_o they_o be_v now_o will_v not_o despair_v of_o success_n for_o before_o our_o unnatural_a civil_a war_n i_o have_v be_v inform_v by_o a_o reverend_n divine_a there_o be_v few_o church_n in_o those_o city_n where_o daily_o public_a prayer_n be_v read_v and_o where_o they_o be_v very_o few_o people_n to_o join_v with_o the_o minister_n in_o they_o but_o now_o there_o be_v very_o few_o church_n that_o want_v they_o or_o a_o congregation_n to_o attend_v they_o and_o though_o such_o assembly_n be_v but_o thin_a when_o this_o first_o begin_v a_o little_a after_o the_o happy_a restauration_n of_o our_o monarchy_n and_o church_n yet_o i_o myself_o can_v witness_v that_o their_o number_n daily_o increase_v in_o so_o much_o that_o in_o some_o place_n there_o be_v public_a prayer_n four_o time_n a_o day_n and_o good_a congregation_n where_o in_o my_o memory_n there_o be_v none_o at_o all_o this_o be_v a_o great_a encouragement_n to_o try_v what_o may_v be_v do_v in_o other_o great_a town_n where_o people_n be_v not_o far_o distant_a from_o the_o church_n

their_o prayer_n and_o acknowledgement_n to_o he_o represent_v to_o they_o frequent_o how_o much_o the_o public_a service_n of_o god_n excel_v all_o that_o we_o can_v perform_v in_o private_a
