of_o the_o apostle_n argument_n to_o his_o desciple_n timothy_n i_o be_o ready_a to_o be_v offer_v and_o the_o time_n of_o my_o departure_n be_v at_o hand_n so_o that_o hereafter_o thou_o can_v not_o

which_o hitherto_o have_v be_v require_v from_o we_o both_o will_v hereafter_o lie_v whole_o upon_o thou_o alone_o to_o perform_v and_o therefore_o be_v thou_o the_o more_o careful_a to_o use_v double_a diligence_n in_o the_o performance_n of_o it_o let_v we_o of_o the_o clergy_n i_o say_v but_o take_v the_o apostle_n argument_n in_o this_o sense_n and_o serious_o lay_v it_o to_o heart_n and_o then_o without_o all_o doubt_n it_o will_v pinch_v we_o to_o the_o quick_a when_o we_o consider_v how_o great_a a_o blow_n it_o be_v to_o a_o totter_a church_n to_o have_v so_o great_a a_o pillar_n remove_v from_o it_o as_o this_o learned_a and_o laborious_a bishop_n be_v certain_o now_o be_v the_o time_n and_o this_o the_o occasion_n if_o ever_o when_o we_o must_v watch_v in_o all_o thing_n and_o pray_v unto_o almighty_a god_n for_o his_o grace_n to_o enable_v we_o to_o fulfil_v our_o ministry_n and_o his_o strength_n to_o fit_v we_o for_o endure_a affliction_n and_o more_o particular_o to_o lift_v up_o our_o prayer_n for_o the_o remnant_n that_o be_v leave_v 37.4_o 25.5_o and_o to_o be_v instant_a with_o god_n that_o he_o will_v call_v to_o remembrance_n his_o tender_a mercy_n and_o still_o continue_v to_o this_o poor_a afflict_a church_n his_o love_a kindness_n which_o have_v be_v ever_o of_o old_a 51.18_o and_o that_o he_o will_v be_v favourable_a and_o gracious_a unto_o zion_n and_o build_v up_o the_o wall_n of_o jerusalem_n 13.21_o that_o it_o may_v be_v no_o long_o a_o habitation_n for_o ziim_n and_o limb_n owl_n and_o satyr_n bird_n of_o darkness_n and_o

he_o have_v choose_v to_o come_v near_o unto_o he_o 16.5_o that_o peace_n may_v once_o again_o be_v restore_v and_o settle_v within_o her_o wall_n and_o plenteousness_n within_o her_o place_n 132.9_o and_o that_o his_o priest_n may_v be_v clothe_v with_o righteousness_n and_o his_o saint_n sing_v with_o joyfulness_n and_o i_o hope_v there_o be_v none_o here_o present_a either_o so_o negligent_a of_o his_o own_o soul_n or_o so_o careless_a of_o the_o salvation_n of_o other_o that_o will_v not_o hearty_o say_v amen_n to_o this_o prayer_n 2._o and_o then_o again_o right_a honourable_a and_o the_o rest_n my_o dear_o belove_a brethren_n of_o the_o laity_n let_v i_o apply_v my_o discourse_n in_o one_o word_n unto_o you_o and_o beseech_v you_o also_o to_o mark_v well_o the_o force_n of_o

have_v say_v though_o the_o duty_n be_v great_a which_o the_o people_n be_v to_o learn_v from_o thou_o yet_o it_o will_v be_v the_o more_o willing_o listen_v unto_o if_o thou_o do_v tell_v they_o i_o leave_v it_o in_o charge_n with_o thou_o at_o this_o very_a instant_n when_o the_o time_n of_o my_o departure_n be_v at_o hand_n see_v the_o word_n of_o a_o die_a man_n be_v so_o strong_a and_o powerful_a let_v they_o therefore_o know_v that_o this_o be_v my_o last_o exhortation_n to_o they_o and_o then_o they_o will_v the_o more_o easy_o suppose_v i_o as_o present_v with_o they_o whensoever_o this_o doctrine_n be_v preach_v unto_o they_o and_o if_o we_o look_v upon_o the_o apostle_n argument_n under_o this_o consideration_n i_o have_v still_o one_o parallel_n behind_o
