upon_o this_o occasion_n that_o lead_v i_o now_o to_o the_o melancholy_a part_n of_o this_o sad_a solemnity_n i_o confess_v i_o enter_v upon_o it_o with_o the_o just_a apprehension_n that_o it_o

that_o appear_v so_o eminent_o in_o a_o life_n which_o may_v be_v consider_v as_o a_o pattern_n of_o live_v and_o a_o pattern_n so_o perfect_a that_o it_o will_v perhaps_o seem_v a_o little_a too_o far_o out_o of_o sight_n too_o much_o above_o the_o hope_n and_o by_o consequence_n above_o the_o endeavour_n of_o any_o that_o may_v pretend_v to_o draw_v after_o such_o a_o original_a which_o must_v ever_o be_v reckon_v among_o the_o masterpiece_n even_o of_o that_o great_a hand_n that_o make_v it_o i_o may_v here_o challenge_v the_o whole_a tribe_n of_o libertine_n to_o come_v and_o view_v the_o usefulness_n as_o well_o as_o the_o excellence_n of_o the_o christian_a religion_n in_o a_o life_n that_o be_v entire_o dedicate_v to_o it_o and_o see_v what_o they_o can_v object_v i_o ought_v to_o call_v on_o all_o that_o be_v so_o happy_a as_o to_o know_v he_o well_o to_o observe_v his_o temper_n and_o course_n of_o life_n and_o charge_v they_o to_o sum_n up_o and_o lay_v together_o the_o many_o great_a and_o good_a thing_n that_o they_o see_v in_o he_o and_o from_o thence_o to_o remember_v always_o to_o how_o vast_a a_o sublimity_n the_o christian_a religion_n can_v raise_v a_o mind_n that_o do_v both_o thorough_o believe_v it_o and_o be_v entire_o govern_v by_o it_o i_o may_v here_o also_o call_v up_o the_o multitude_n the_o vast_a multitude_n of_o those_o who_o have_v be_v make_v

and_o learned_a or_o at_o least_o may_v have_v learn_v from_o he_o when_o i_o reflect_v on_o the_o gravity_n of_o his_o very_a appearance_n the_o elevation_n of_o his_o thought_n and_o discourse_n the_o modesty_n of_o his_o temper_n and_o the_o humility_n of_o his_o whole_a deportment_n which_o may_v have_v serve_v to_o have_v force_v the_o best_a thought_n even_o upon_o the_o worst_a mind_n when_o i_o say_v i_o bring_v all_o this_o together_o into_o my_o mind_n as_o i_o form_n upon_o it_o too_o bright_a a_o idea_n to_o be_v easy_o receive_v by_o such_o as_o do_v not_o know_v he_o so_o i_o be_o very_o sensible_a that_o i_o can_v raise_v it_o equal_a to_o the_o thought_n of_o such_o as_o do_v i_o know_v the_o limit_n that_o custom_n give_v to_o discourse_n of_o this_o kind_n and_o the_o hard_a censure_n which_o common_o follow_v they_o these_o will_v not_o suffer_v i_o to_o say_v all_o i_o think_v as_o i_o perceive_v i_o can_v bring_v out_o into_o distinct_a thought_n all_o that_o of_o which_o i_o have_v the_o imperfect_a hint_n and_o rude_a draught_n in_o my_o mind_n which_o can_v think_v equal_a to_o a_o subject_a so_o far_o above_o my_o own_o level_n i_o shall_v now_o
