believe_v ignorant_a for_o i_o know_v your_o lordship_n to_o be_v very_o much_o better_a able_a to_o instruct_v i_o but_o to_o put_v your_o lordship_n in_o mind_n that_o not_o the_o knower_n of_o

and_o do_v it_o not_o shall_v be_v beat_v with_o many_o stripe_n i_o will_v begin_v my_o first_o rule_n of_o advice_n to_o your_o lordship_n with_o desire_v you_o not_o to_o turn_v the_o day_n into_o night_n and_o by_o sleep_v so_o long_o in_o the_o morning_n give_v yourself_o only_o time_n in_o haste_n to_o put_v on_o your_o clothes_n and_o it_o may_v be_v sometime_o with_o more_o haste_n say_v a_o short_a formal_a prayer_n to_o stop_v the_o mouth_n of_o a_o natural_a conscience_n which_o for_o haste_v you_o hardly_o mind_n yourself_o and_o therefore_o have_v little_a reason_n to_o expect_v god_n shall_v therefore_o i_o shall_v advise_v your_o lordship_n to_o go_v to_o bed_n in_o so_o good_a a_o hour_n at_o night_n as_o that_o you_o may_v wake_v in_o so_o good_a time_n as_o you_o may_v not_o lose_v the_o morning_n which_o certain_o be_v the_o best_a time_n for_o the_o service_n of_o god_n and_o i_o will_v have_v you_o as_o soon_o as_o you_o wake_v fix_v your_o thought_n upon_o that_o god_n that_o give_v you_o time_n to_o think_v and_o do_v as_o holy_a david_n do_v who_o say_v as_o soon_o as_o i_o awake_v i_o be_o with_o thou_o consider_v how_o your_o bed_n may_v have_v be_v your_o grave_n for_o many_o every_o night_n go_v down_o into_o the_o place_n of_o silence_n and_o there_o take_v their_o long_a and_o last_o sleep_n consider_v also_o what_o a_o mercy_n sleep_n be_v and_o if_o we_o miss_v but_o a_o night_n rest_n how_o burdensome_a and_o uneasy_a a_o man_n will_v be_v to_o himself_o therefore_o begin_v the_o morning_n with_o blessing_n god_n for_o it_o and_o then_o common_a with_o your_o heart_n upon_o your_o bed_n and_o be_v still_o and_o consider_v what_o a_o mercy_n it_o be_v to_o have_v another_o day_n add_v to_o your_o life_n that_o you_o may_v make_v your_o peace_n with_o god_n before_o you_o go_v hence_o and_o be_v no_o more_o see_v think_v what_o many_o a_o poor_a die_a creature_n will_v give_v for_o a_o day_n to_o repent_v in_o and_o at_o what_o a_o high_a rate_n if_o it_o be_v to_o be_v purchase_v the_o damn_a spirit_n will_v purchase_v a_o day_n to_o repent_v in_o consider_v a_o day_n be_v a_o precious_a thing_n when_o titus_n a_o heathen_a can_v say_v when_o he_o have_v spend_v a_o day_n without_o do_v good_a to_o his_o friend_n with_o great_a regret_n o_o my_o friend_n i_o have_v lose_v a_o day_n and_o another_o can_v say_v he_o be_v not_o worthy_a the_o name_n of_o a_o man_n who_o spend_v a_o whole_a day_n in_o worldly_a pleasure_n remember_v this_o little_a moment_n of_o time_n be_v all_o we_o have_v give_v we_o to_o provide_v for_o eternity_n in_o and_o therefore_o not_o to_o be_v spend_v and_o throw_v away_o careless_o as_o if_o we_o have_v no_o god_n to_o serve_v nor_o no_o soul_n to_o save_v therefore_o have_v a_o care_n lest_o it_o be_v say_v of_o you_o as_o it_o be_v of_o jesabel_n i_o give_v her_o space_n to_o repent_v but_o she_o repent_v not_o when_o your_o lordship_n have_v thus_o in_o the_o morning_n bring_v your_o heart_n into_o a_o serious_a frame_n than_o my_o second_o advice_n be_v to_o leave_v your_o bed_n and_o as_o soon_o as_o you_o be_v ready_a retire_v to_o your_o closet_n and_o let_v none_o of_o the_o business_n of_o the_o world_n be_v first_o dispatch_v though_o the_o devil_n be_v never_o so_o busy_a to_o persuade_v you_o to_o it_o but_o say_v to_o all_o your_o worldly_a employment_n stay_v here_o while_o i_o go_v yonder_o and_o worship_n and_o i_o will_v come_v to_o you_o again_o when_o you_o have_v shut_v your_o door_n and_o have_v shut_v out_o outward_a company_n then_o have_v a_o care_n to_o shut_v out_o inward_a vain_a and_o distract_n thought_n which_o will_v be_v very_o busy_a to_o steal_v away_o your_o heart_n then_o i_o will_v advise_v you_o to_o begin_v your_o private_a devotion_n with_o read_v the_o word_n of_o god_n the_o holy_a scripture_n for_o david_n say_v wherewithal_o shall_v a_o young_a man_n cleanse_v his_o way_n even_o by_o take_v heed_n thereunto_o according_a to_o thy_o word_n and_o certain_o these_o divine_a oracle_n of_o god_n be_v a_o most_o excellent_a mean_n towards_o the_o mend_n of_o our_o life_n therefore_o i_o will_v have_v you_o begin_v every_o morning_n with_o read_v some_o portion_n of_o it_o remember_v it_o be_v that_o word_n by_o which_o we_o must_v one_o day_n he_o judge_v when_o you_o have_v do_v this_o i_o will_v not_o advise_v you_o present_o to_o clap_v down_o upon_o your_o knee_n but_o first_o to_o consider_v serious_o what_o you_o be_v go_v about_o viz._n that_o you_o be_v go_v about_o to_o speak_v to_o that_o god_n before_o who_o the_o angel_n and_o the_o cherubin_n do_v cover_v their_o face_n in_o token_n of_o reverence_n as_o not_o be_v able_a or_o worthy_a to_o behold_v so_o much_o glory_n and_o that_o abraham_n the_o father_n of_o the_o faithful_a present_v himself_o before_o he_o with_o so_o much_o humility_n as_o that_o he_o call_v himself_o dust_n and_o ash_n therefore_o do_v you_o prostrate_v yourself_o before_o he_o with_o humility_n remember_v that_o he_o have_v say_v that_o he_o will_v have_v respect_n unto_o the_o lowly_a and_o yet_o come_v with_o confidence_n as_o to_o a_o gracious_a father_n who_o have_v promise_v that_o whosoever_o come_v unto_o he_o he_o will_v in_o no_o wise_a cast_v out_o and_o that_o before_o we_o call_v he_o will_v answer_v and_o whilst_o we_o
