note_n namely_o that_o if_o in_o his_o night-walk_n he_o meet_v with_o irregular_a scholar_n absent_a from_o their_o college_n at_o university_n hour_n or_o disorder_v by_o drink_n or_o in_o scandalous_a company_n he_o do_v not_o use_v his_o power_n of_o punish_v to_o a_o extremity_n but_o do_v usual_o take_v their_o name_n and_o a_o promise_n to_o appear_v before_o he_o unsent_a for_o

his_o proctor_n speech_n be_v end_v and_o he_o retire_v with_o a_o friend_n into_o a_o convenient_a privacy_n he_o look_v upon_o his_o friend_n with_o a_o more_o than_o common_a cheerfulness_n and_o speak_v to_o he_o to_o this_o purpose_n i_o look_v back_o upon_o my_o late_a employment_n with_o some_o content_n to_o myself_o and_o a_o great_a thankfulness_n to_o almighty_a god_n that_o he_o have_v make_v i_o of_o a_o temper_n not_o apt_a to_o provoke_v the_o mean_a of_o mankind_n but_o rather_o to_o pass_v by_o infirmity_n if_o note_v and_o in_o this_o employment_n i_o have_v have_v

to_o commit_v such_o error_n as_o they_o in_o that_o passion_n can_v not_o foresee_v and_o will_v in_o their_o more_o calm_a and_o deliberate_a thought_n upbraid_v and_o require_v repentance_n and_o consider_v that_o though_o repentance_n secure_v we_o from_o the_o punishment_n of_o any_o sin_n yet_o how_o much_o more_o comfortable_a it_o be_v to_o be_v innocent_a than_o need_v pardon_v and_o consider_v that_o error_n against_o man_n though_o pardon_v both_o by_o god_n and_o they_o do_v yet_o leave_v such_o anxious_a and_o upbraid_a impression_n in_o the_o memory_n as_o abate_v of_o the_o offender_n content_n when_o i_o consider_v all_o this_o and_o that_o god_n have_v of_o his_o goodness_n give_v i_o a_o temper_n that_o he_o have_v prevent_v i_o from_o run_v into_o such_o enormity_n i_o remember_v my_o temper_n with_o joy_n and_o thankfulness_n and_o though_o i_o can_v say_v with_o david_n i_o wish_v i_o can_v that_o therefore_o his_o 130._o praise_n shall_v always_o be_v in_o my_o mouth_n yet_o i_o hope_v that_o by_o his_o grace_n and_o that_o grace_v second_v by_o my_o endeavour_n it_o shall_v never_o be_v blot_v out_o of_o my_o memory_n and_o i_o now_o beseech_v almighty_a god_n that_o it_o never_o may_v and_o here_o i_o must_v look_v back_o and_o mention_v one_o passage_n more_o in_o his_o proctorship_n which_o be_v that_o gilbert_n shelden_n the_o late_a
