of_o his_o countenance_n and_o the_o manner_n of_o his_o pronunciation_n learn_v from_o he_o not_o to_o take_v it_o up_o on_o every_o trifle_a occasion_n and_o when_o you_o have_v any_o discourse_n

company_n with_o god_n 2._o remember_v how_o serious_a he_o be_v in_o prayer_n and_o address_n unto_o god_n his_o soul_n seem_v to_o be_v gather_v into_o itself_o and_o then_o gather_v up_o to_o god_n and_o i_o believe_v you_o can_v remember_v that_o his_o expression_n be_v such_o that_o all_o may_v join_v with_o he_o and_o that_o he_o be_v not_o act_v by_o any_o private_a but_o a_o public_a and_o divine_a spirit_n 3._o how_o he_o teach_v you_o to_o observe_v the_o lord_n day_n not_o long_o ago_o he_o enter_v with_o i_o into_o a_o discourse_n of_o that_o thing_n and_o i_o perceive_v by_o it_o he_o have_v earnest_o desire_v of_o you_o in_o some_o sermon_n to_o spend_v that_o time_n more_o religious_o in_o recount_v the_o mercy_n of_o god_n in_o tell_v to_o your_o child_n and_o servant_n
