to_o pardon_v at_o least_o our_o virtue_n we_o can_v expect_v they_o will_v be_v so_o merciful_a as_o to_o forgive_v we_o our_o vice_n let_v we_o therefore_o behave_v ourselves_o with_o such_o

account_n let_v we_o the_o clergy_n of_o this_o church_n give_v all_o possible_a diligence_n that_o we_o may_v be_v blameless_a and_o unreprovable_a that_o we_o be_v exemplar_n of_o virtue_n and_o

joy_n and_o before_o i_o shut_v up_o this_o point_n i_o beg_v leave_n to_o recommend_v brief_o to_o our_o common_a christian_a care_n these_o few_o particular_n 1._o that_o we_o often_o peruse_v and_o consider_v serious_o those_o solemn_a promise_n and_o vow_n which_o we_o make_v at_o our_o ordination_n and_o look_v upon_o they_o as_o such_o sacred_a tie_v as_o be_v not_o to_o be_v answer_v but_o by_o our_o faithful_a performance_n and_o by_o our_o utmost_a care_n and_o labour_n to_o the_o last_o gasp_n 2._o that_o we_o ourselves_o be_v careful_a to_o walk_v all_o of_o we_o by_o the_o same_o rule_n and_o to_o mind_v the_o same_o thing_n and_o to_o be_v knit_v together_o like_a brethren_n in_o a_o inviolable_a bond_n of_o love_n and_o friendship_n to_o one_o another_o and_o all_o of_o we_o to_o be_v inseparable_o unite_v in_o due_a affection_n and_o obedience_n to_o our_o learned_a and_o conscientious_a diocesan_n 3._o that_o we_o feed_v the_o flock_n of_o god_n not_o for_o filthy_a lucre_n but_o of_o a_o ready_a mind_n out_o of_o a_o honest_a heart_n and_o a_o pure_a conscience_n and_o

that_o we_o make_v our_o charge_n thorough_o sensible_a if_o we_o can_v that_o we_o act_n upon_o principle_n of_o conscience_n and_o out_o of_o sincere_a love_n and_o charity_n to_o they_o and_o because_o the_o love_n of_o our_o common_a saviour_n constrain_v we_o st._n chrysostom_n have_v well_o observe_v that_o when_o our_o lord_n ask_v peter_n whether_o he_o 2._o 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d lib._n 2._o love_v he_o and_o command_v he_o to_o feed_v his_o sheep_n it_o be_v not_o that_o he_o may_v find_v out_o peter_n affection_n to_o himself_o for_o he_o know_v his_o heart_n but_o that_o he_o may_v show_v his_o own_o affection_n and_o love_n to_o his_o church_n and_o that_o he_o may_v teach_v all_o minister_n of_o the_o gospel_n to_o express_v the_o same_o affection_n to_o his_o church_n by_o his_o own_o bless_a example_n 4._o that_o in_o the_o discharge_n of_o our_o ministerial_a office_n for_o love_n sake_n we_o apply_v our_o care_n and_o pain_n as_o it_o be_v most_o suitable_a to_o particular_a man_n necessity_n instruct_v the_o ignorant_a assist_v the_o infirm_a visit_v the_o sick_a comfort_v the_o afflict_a admonish_v evil_a doer_n in_o meekness_n instruct_v

tender_o affect_v towards_o all_o 5._o that_o god_n may_v prosper_v the_o great_a work_n in_o our_o hand_n it_o be_v to_o be_v wish_v that_o we_o will_v daily_o open_v the_o door_n of_o our_o church_n and_o invite_v our_o parishioner_n to_o meet_v we_o there_o constant_o for_o the_o solemn_a celebration_n of_o god_n service_n there_o a_o main_a part_n of_o our_o business_n lie_v to_o catechise_v youth_n to_o administer_v the_o sacrament_n of_o christ_n body_n and_o blood_n and_o with_o one_o mouth_n and_o one_o heart_n to_o invocate_v the_o goodness_n of_o god_n for_o a_o blessing_n upon_o we_o all_o and_o the_o often_o these_o thing_n be_v do_v the_o more_o shall_v we_o and_o our_o charge_n be_v fix_v in_o a_o course_n of_o virtue_n and_o piety_n and_o the_o more_o will_v their_o heart_n be_v knit_v to_o we_o as_o well_o as_o our_o heart_n to_o they_o 6._o to_o which_o let_v i_o i_o beseech_v you_o add_v without_o offence_n that_o we_o use_v the_o prayer_n of_o the_o church_n with_o that_o reverence_n decorum_n and_o zeal_n which_o be_v suitable_a to_o so_o solemn_a a_o service_n the_o argument_n against_o our_o common_a prayer_n be_v trifle_v and_o will_v appear_v so_o every_o day_n more_o and_o more_o if_o we_o ourselves_o do_v but_o recommend_v they_o to_o other_o by_o our_o own_o devotion_n it_o be_v the_o slubber_v of_o they_o over_o after_o a_o hasty_a cold_a and_o uncouth_a manner_n and_o sometime_o with_o a_o affect_a and_o ungraceful_a tone_n voice_n i_o can_v so_o well_o call_v it_o it_o be_v this_o that_o have_v make_v our_o service-book_n contemptible_a among_o some_o people_n who_o consider_v not_o the_o excellent_a contexture_n and_o the_o true_a christian_a spirit_n which_o be_v in_o the_o prayer_n themselves_o and_o we_o shall_v be_v the_o more_o to_o blame_v if_o we_o take_v not_o heed_n to_o remove_v this_o objection_n because_o it_o be_v a_o objection_n out_o of_o our_o own_o mouth_n brief_o then_o we_o shall_v be_v careful_a to_o read_v the_o public_a prayer_n with_o that_o gravity_n and_o concern'dness_n with_o that_o thoughtfulness_n and_o deliberation_n with_o that_o attention_n and_o presence_n of_o mind_n and_o with_o that_o fervency_n of_o spirit_n as_o if_o we_o be_v to_o give_v up_o the_o ghost_n the_o next_o hour_n and_o be_v all_o of_o we_o but_o zealous_o intent_n upon_o this_o i_o dare_v say_v there_o will_v be_v no_o need_n of_o further_a argument_n or_o oratory_n to_o bespeak_v the_o affection_n of_o people_n to_o our_o service_n or_o to_o render_v it_o venerable_a second_o i_o beg_v
