victory_n but_o yet_o she_o speak_v to_o we_o from_o the_o bed_n of_o dust_n short_o to_o expect_v the_o same_o change_n that_o she_o have_v so_o late_o undergo_v and_o to_o provide_v for_o it_o and_o sure_o it_o be_v but_o reasonable_a that_o we_o shall_v be_v warn_v from_o such_o a_o memento_n when_o a_o person_n not_o yet_o arrive_v to_o the_o prime_n of_o her_o year_n of_o still_o bloom_a

it_o have_v happen_v to_o any_o body_n as_o of_o late_o it_o have_v do_v to_o a_o considerable_a and_o know_a number_n here_o among_o we_o death_n be_v usual_o the_o more_o apprehend_v and_o regard_v

you_o live_v in_o a_o constant_a and_o fix_a preparation_n of_o mind_n of_o welcome_v death_n when_o or_o wheresoever_o he_o come_v to_o you_o that_o you_o put_v not_o off_o your_o conversion_n and_o

before_o we_o be_v enter_v when_o that_o the_o faint_a taper_n be_v light_v and_o that_o black_n and_o cyprus_n adorn_v our_o funeral_n let_v we_o due_o wait_v for_o our_o change_n all_o the_o day_n of_o &c_n &c_n before_o the_o night_n approach_v wherein_o no_o man_n can_v work_v before_o we_o be_v enveloped_v with_o darkness_n and_o a_o sable_a cloud_n and_o overtake_v with_o the_o shadow_n of_o death_n and_o we_o find_v ourselves_o possess_v of_o the_o land_n where_o all_o be_v thing_n forget_v i_o have_v now_o finish_v what_o i_o intend_v to_o the_o live_n but_o i_o have_v some_o reason_n to_o fear_v that_o i_o shall_v not_o be_v just_a to_o the_o memory_n of_o the_o dead_a if_o i_o premise_v not_o some_o particular_n touch_v this_o excellent_a and_o virtuous_a personage_n and_o here_o i_o shall_v not_o detain_v this_o audience_n by_o trace_v up_o thing_n and_o view_v her_o innocent_a behaviour_n and_o carriage_n from_o her_o infancy_n and_o cradle_n which_o i_o have_v not_o the_o power_n or_o opportunity_n of_o know_v and_o therefore_o be_o not_o fit_a to_o declare_v they_o to_o other_o nor_o shall_v i_o mix_v any_o thing_n that_o be_v in_o the_o least_o to_o i_o

of_o during_o the_o time_n i_o live_v in_o the_o family_n of_o which_o she_o be_v one_o of_o the_o near_a relation_n and_o which_o upon_o be_v a_o eye-witn_a and_o upon_o my_o own_o observation_n i_o know_v and_o therefore_o dare_v publish_v to_o be_v true_a as_o for_o her_o birth_n and_o extraction_n which_o be_v more_o than_o ordinary_a for_o her_o grateful_a comeliness_n and_o behaviour_n as_o she_o herself_o do_v not_o desire_v they_o shall_v be_v take_v notice_n of_o whilst_o live_v nor_o value_v herself_o upon_o the_o score_n of_o they_o so_o neither_o shall_v i_o now_o she_o be_v dead_a call_v they_o over_o to_o your_o remembrance_n know_v that_o we_o be_v behold_v to_o other_o for_o those_o and_o such_o like_a advantage_n and_o therefore_o do_v not_o deserve_v to_o reap_v any_o unjust_a commendation_n from_o they_o they_o have_v never_o be_v in_o our_o power_n i_o shall_v therefore_o consider_v she_o in_o the_o capacity_n of_o a_o christian_a and_o as_o to_o her_o natural_a disposition_n which_o doubtless_o she_o have_v much_o improve_v from_o the_o rule_n of_o her_o holy_a religion_n she_o be_v very_o constant_a as_o to_o the_o exercise_n and_o office_n of_o religion_n very_o exemplary_a as_o to_o her_o piety_n and_o devotion_n and_o will_v not_o willing_o omit_v any_o opportunity_n of_o attend_v at_o god_n sanctuary_n she_o will_v oft_o utter_v her_o dislike_n of_o the_o dissent_v party_n from_o the_o church_n of_o england_n and_o have_v all_o such_o be_v of_o her_o happy_a temper_n of_o so_o great_a humility_n and_o self-denial_n of_o such_o condescension_n and_o dovelike_a simplicity_n the_o jar_n and_o struggle_n that_o be_v among_o we_o have_v long_o since_o cease_v and_o we_o have_v remain_v a_o happy_a people_n unite_v in_o charity_n and_o discipline_n as_o well_o as_o in_o faith_n nor_o do_v her_o religion_n set_v loose_o by_o she_o like_o that_o of_o too_o many_o who_o show_v itself_o only_o in_o outward_a form_n in_o external_a pomp_n and_o gaudiness_n but_o it_o be_v solid_a and_o real_a and_o if_o any_o of_o late_o have_v be_v endow_v with_o the_o ornament_n of_o a_o meek_a and_o humble_a spirit_n she_o be_v one._n nor_o

myself_o have_v take_v notice_n minister_a the_o office_n of_o prayer_n in_o the_o family_n that_o if_o at_o any_o time_n she_o have_v escape_v the_o opportunity_n of_o join_v in_o that_o holy_a duty_n which_o be_v very_o rare_o and_o then_o too_o through_o a_o mistake_n of_o the_o time_n or_o some_o other_o occasion_n that_o be_v not_o her_o fault_n she_o will_v put_v on_o the_o great_a seem_a anger_n and_o displeasure_n that_o i_o have_v observe_v in_o she_o at_o any_o time_n which_o discover_v how_o that_o she_o look_v upon_o it_o to_o be_v a_o more_o grievous_a disapointment_n to_o be_v absent_a from_o their_o company_n at_o that_o time_n when_o they_o be_v about_o that_o solemn_a and_o religious_a exercise_n than_o at_o any_o other_o nor_o be_v she_o more_o retire_v and_o closet_n devotion_n less_o constant_a and_o frequent_a and_o i_o have_v sometime_o take_v notice_n that_o she_o have_v private_o withdraw_v when_o their_o company_n have_v be_v that_o otherwise_o

and_o concern_v resentment_n nor_o do_v i_o remember_v that_o ever_o i_o hear_v she_o tax_v for_o disobedience_n by_o they_o in_o any_o particular_a but_o always_o applaud_v for_o her_o constant_a affection_n and_o duty_n which_o be_v as_o early_o as_o she_o be_v capable_a of_o understanding_n what_o obligation_n she_o lie_v under_o to_o they_o and_o sometime_o before_o that_o and_o though_o
