mischievous_a effect_n of_o which_o have_v fall_v very_o heavy_a as_o well_o upon_o my_o own_o person_n as_o upon_o my_o family_n for_o before_o i_o be_v nine_o year_n old_a i_o see_v my_o father_n a_o close_a prisoner_n in_o the_o tower_n seven_o month_n for_o his_o loyalty_n to_o his_o king_n and_o country_n and_o by_o little_a less_o than_o miracle_n thence_o deliver_v and_o have_v but_o

away_o in_o the_o common_a calamity_n and_o consequent_o must_v leave_v you_o all_o very_a young_a i_o think_v it_o to_o be_v the_o best_a thing_n i_o can_v do_v for_o you_o to_o advertise_v you_o of_o the_o rock_n and_o precipice_n which_o by_o mean_n of_o my_o trouble_n and_o suffering_n i_o have_v discover_v and_o to_o that_o end_n it_o be_v that_o i_o recommend_v to_o you_o the_o follow_a discourse_n next_o to_o be_v wise_a to_o salvation_n there_o be_v nothing_o that_o more_o concern_v any_o man_n than_o to_o know_v how_o to_o order_v his_o affair_n with_o discretion_n for_o this_o

valuable_a thing_n of_o a_o good_a name_n and_o second_o it_o help_v we_o many_o step_n in_o our_o way_n to_o heaven_n therefore_o to_o give_v you_o some_o direction_n how_o to_o steer_v your_o course_n through_o this_o world_n be_v the_o occasion_n of_o the_o follow_a discourse_n first_o then_o be_v sure_a to_o begin_v and_o end_v the_o day_n with_o god_n let_v not_o any_o business_n prevent_v you_o from_o spend_v some_o time_n in_o private_a devotion_n both_o morning_n and_o evening_n for_o this_o as_o without_o contradiction_n it_o be_v our_o duty_n so_o reason_n do_v strong_o persuade_v the_o practice_n of_o it_o for_o if_o we_o do_v believe_v that_o there_o be_v a_o god_n and_o that_o all_o our_o hair_n be_v number_v which_o imply_v his_o particular_a care_n of_o we_o can_v we_o expect_v that_o he_o shall_v take_v we_o the_o rest_n of_o the_o day_n into_o his_o protection_n when_o we_o set_v so_o little_a by_o it_o as_o not_o to_o think_v it_o worth_a the_o ask_n be_v any_o of_o we_o to_o go_v some_o road_n which_o we_o have_v never_o travel_v before_o and_o beside_o so_o full_a of_o hole_n and_o precipice_n and_o such_o as_o while_o we_o avoid_v one_o it_o will_v be_v great_a odds_o that_o we_o fall_v into_o another_o and_o consequent_o will_v be_v extreme_o bruise_v if_o not-killed_n and_o there_o be_v but_o one_o person_n who_o know_v the_o way_n will_v not_o we_o be_v very_o importunate_a with_o he_o to_o guide_v we_o if_o then_o we_o do_v but_o serious_o consider_v the_o multitude_n of_o hazard_n and_o danger_n which_o we_o be_v expose_v to_o in_o one_o day_n we_o must_v conclude_v that_o our_o preservation_n be_v purchase_v by_o a_o very_a small_a price_n even_o by_o a_o few_o minute_n in_o private_a devotion_n in_o the_o morning_n and_o there_o be_v as_o great_a reason_n for_o our_o evening_n sacrifice_n it_o be_v a_o very_a small_a favour_n that_o do_v not_o deserve_v thanks_o but_o great_a ought_v our_o acknowledgement_n to_o be_v every_o evening_n for_o our_o preservation_n the_o day_n past_a for_o reckon_v up_o by_o how_o many_o several_a accident_n man_n have_v dye_v even_o so_o many_o and_o more_o do_v we_o escape_v every_o day_n and_o then_o consider_v how_o small_a a_o recompense_n we_o render_v to_o the_o lord_n for_o such_o transcendent_a benefit_n and_o how_o gracious_a he_o be_v to_o accept_v so_o small_a a_o tribute_n as_o we_o be_v able_a to_o pay_v he_o in_o a_o quarter_n or_o half_a a_o hour_n in_o private_a consider_v further_o if_o betwixt_o man_n and_o man_n a_o acknowledgement_n of_o a_o favour_n receive_v lay_v a_o sort_n of_o obligation_n upon_o the_o person_n to_o bestow_v a_o second_o what_o may_v we_o not_o expect_v from_o god_n who_o goodness_n extend_v beyond_o what_o we_o can_v comprehend_v for_o he_o bestow_v benefit_n upon_o the_o most_o ungrateful_a and_o then_o we_o may_v be_v sure_a that_o a_o sincere_a and_o humble_a tribute_n of_o thanks_o will_v be_v very_o acceptable_a to_o he_o and_o that_o it_o may_v be_v such_o take_v especial_a care_n that_o your_o supplication_n as_o much_o as_o in_o you_o lie_v be_v void_a of_o all_o distraction_n and_o dullness_n lest_o be_v perform_v careless_o and_o formal_o you_o may_v seem_v to_o mock_v god_n for_o he_o can_v be_v please_v with_o such_o service_n neither_o will_v he_o answer_v they_o in_o mercy_n for_o i_o have_v observe_v any_o morning_n that_o i_o have_v hurry_v over_o my_o devotion_n the_o day_n follow_v have_v not_o be_v prosperous_a and_o that_o thing_n which_o particular_o occasion_v i_o to_o such_o haste_n have_v meet_v with_o ill_a success_n in_o the_o next_o place_n let_v all_o your_o deal_n be_v measure_v by_o the_o golden_a rule_n of_o do_v to_o other_o as_o you_o will_v be_v do_v by_o for_o as_o without_o this_o you_o can_v be_v a_o good_a christian_a so_o he_o that_o be_v void_a of_o it_o can_v be_v a_o true_o moral_a man_n it_o be_v much_o to_o be_v lament_v that_o among_o we_o it_o be_v not_o more_o serious_o consider_v and_o faithful_o practise_v for_o the_o want_n of_o it_o be_v the_o root_n from_o whence_o most_o of_o our_o mischief_n and_o trouble_n do_v spring_n and_o whenever_o man_n do_v entertain_v a_o just_a opinion_n of_o it_o then_o will_v the_o world_n be_v true_o say_v to_o enjoy_v the_o golden_a age_n for_o next_o to_o the_o gospel_n of_o jesus_n christ_n nothing_o can_v procure_v so_o much_o peace_n on_o earth_n true_a it_o be_v that_o seem_a advantage_n may_v frequent_o offer_v themselves_o to_o induce_v we_o to_o go_v beside_o this_o rule_n but_o indeed_o they_o have_v only_o a_o outside_n and_o no_o more_o for_o what_o a_o man_n gain_v thereby_o be_v but_o of_o a_o short_a duration_n and_o seldom_o end_v but_o in_o trouble_n and_o

he_o that_o character_n be_v fit_a to_o herd_n with_o brute_n than_o to_o be_v admit_v into_o any_o civil_a society_n and_o now_o let_v i_o recommend_v to_o you_o the_o duty_n and_o affection_n which_o you_o owe_v to_o your_o country_n for_o next_o to_o god_n glory_n there_o be_v nothing_o that_o aught_o to_o be_v so_o dear_a to_o you_o as_o the_o common_a good_a it_o be_v to_o be_v prefer_v to_o your_o life_n estate_n or_o family_n to_o this_o you_o be_v strong_o persuade_v as_o man_n be_v a_o sociable_a creature_n for_o it_o be_v by_o the_o mutual_a assistance_n of_o each_o other_o that_o mankind_n subsist_v let_v every_o man_n seek_v only_o himself_o and_o have_v no_o regard_n to_o the_o common_a good_a nothing_o but_o a_o universal_a disorder_n and_o confusion_n will_v thereupon_o ensue_v and_o than_o what_o profit_n can_v we_o expect_v of_o all_o the_o labour_n that_o man_n take_v under_o the_o sun_n true_a it_o be_v that_o fish_v in_o trouble_a water_n may_v be_v a_o gainful_a to_o some_o people_n yet_o all_o their_o attempt_n be_v do_v in_o expectation_n that_o there_o will_v be_v a_o settlement_n in_o the_o public_a as_o without_o which_o their_o undertake_n will_v prove_v ineffectual_a so_o that_o not_o only_a nature_n but_o self-interest_n argue_v irrefragable_o for_o it_o beside_o as_o we_o owe_v the_o happiness_n of_o our_o age_n to_o the_o care_n that_o our_o forefather_n have_v of_o the_o public_a so_o it_o lay_v a_o duty_n upon_o we_o to_o transmit_v to_o posterity_n what_o be_v bequeath_v to_o we_o no_o man_n be_v more_o ignoble_a than_o

likely_a to_o do_v we_o right_o as_o he_o that_o have_v promise_v to_o repair_v our_o breach_n and_o who_o interest_n it_o be_v to_o be_v as_o good_a as_o his_o word_n and_o though_o we_o have_v not_o every_o thing_n as_o well_o as_o well_o as_o we_o can_v wish_v yet_o that_o do_v not_o proceed_v from_o any_o error_n in_o place_v the_o crown_n where_o it_o be_v but_o from_o something_o else_o that_o can_v not_o be_v foresee_v for_o whoever_o he_o be_v that_o judge_n of_o thing_n only_o by_o the_o success_n show_v not_o his_o wisdom_n so_o much_o as_o his_o folly_n because_o he_o reckon_v without_o his_o host_n true_o indeed_o it_o be_v that_o our_o affair_n be_v not_o prosperous_a many_o disaster_n have_v befall_v we_o and_o we_o have_v let_v slip_v several_a advantage_n such_o as_o we_o can_v hardly_o hope_v for_o the_o like_a again_o together_o with_o abundance_n of_o other_o thing_n that_o be_v very_o melancholy_a reflection_n whether_o these_o have_v happen_v through_o the_o defect_n of_o our_o council_n or_o treachery_n i_o will_v only_o say_v that_o it_o ought_v ought_v exemplary_o to_o be_v punish_v where_o ever_o the_o fault_n be_v and_o be_v it_o where_o it_o will_v there_o be_v one_o and_o the_o same_o original_a cause_n of_o both_o and_o till_o that_o be_v remove_v we_o can_v expect_v it_o shall_v be_v better_o with_o we_o i_o wish_v it_o be_v not_o too_o plain_a that_o god_n have_v a_o controversy_n with_o this_o land_n for_o which_o of_o we_o can_v say_v that_o he_o be_v not_o just_o provoke_v so_o that_o if_o we_o be_v infatuate_v in_o our_o

sure_o it_o be_v our_o own_o fault_n that_o it_o be_v not_o otherwise_o for_o god_n have_v plain_o show_v we_o that_o he_o be_v willing_a to_o be_v gracious_a to_o we_o not_o only_o by_o bring_v

more_o than_o any_o of_o the_o rest_n it_o be_v to_o be_v fear_v that_o worse_a remain_v if_o it_o be_v not_o prevent_v by_o a_o speedy_a and_o thorough_a reforformation_n and_o therefore_o

will_v more_o especial_o recommend_v to_o your_o consideration_n these_o few_o thing_n without_o lose_v your_o time_n by_o innumerate_v of_o the_o rest_n the_o first_o be_v to_o do_v what_o in_o you_o lie_v to_o suppress_v the_o profanation_n of_o the_o holy_a name_n of_o god_n by_o oath_n and_o horrible_a execration_n which_o never_o so_o much_o over_o spread_v the_o land_n as_o it_o do_v in_o

the_o almighty_a and_o do_v in_o no_o sort_n recommend_v the_o conversation_n of_o any_o man_n for_o who_o can_v take_v delight_n to_o hear_v god_n name_n take_v in_o vain_a no_o man_n can_v pretend_v that_o for_o be_v a_o common_a swearer_n the_o more_o credit_n be_v to_o be_v give_v to_o what_o he_o say_v for_o how_o can_v he_o be_v think_v to_o regard_v truth_n who_o make_v so_o light_a of_o he_o that_o be_v the_o very_a truth_n what_o advantage_n then_o do_v any_o man_n reap_v by_o it_o and_o since_o there_o be_v neither_o pleasure_n nor_o profit_n by_o it_o it_o be_v very_o well_o say_v by_o one_o that_o for_o other_o sin_n man_n sell_v their_o soul_n but_o for_o profane_a swear_n they_o give_v they_o how_o then_o can_v we_o hope_v for_o success_n in_o our_o army_n among_o who_o there_o be_v more_o horrible_a curse_v and_o swear_v than_o be_v to_o be_v hear_v any_o where_o else_o while_o they_o contemn_v god_n and_o daily_o spit_v in_o his_o face_n how_o can_v we_o hope_v that_o he_o will_v go_v forth_o with_o our_o army_n so_o long_o as_o by_o their_o reitterated_a expression_n they_o seem_v to_o have_v renounce_v his_o protection_n what_o do_v they_o look_v like_o but_o man_n that_o be_v appoint_v to_o destruction_n be_v there_o as_o much_o care_n to_o punish_v this_o as_o there_o be_v to_o inquire_v into_o false_a muster_n and_o some_o other_o thing_n of_o

true_a that_o it_o must_v be_v begin_v at_o some_o time_n and_o some_o where_o and_o i_o wish_v you_o may_v have_v the_o honour_n to_o be_v the_o first_o in_o it_o for_o if_o your_o example_n be_v follow_v by_o other_o it_o will_v redound_v to_o their_o everlasting_a praise_n but_o if_o it_o shall_v proceed_v no_o further_o yet_o you_o have_v this_o satisfaction_n that_o you_o have_v wash_v your_o hand_n and_o do_v your_o duty_n the_o next_o thing_n be_v to_o inquire_v after_o those_o who_o make_v light_n of_o the_o sabbath_n either_o by_o neglect_v to_o go_v to_o some_o public_a

too_o very_o common_a in_o a_o alehouse_n it_o be_v certain_o a_o great_a contempt_n of_o god_n to_o neglect_v the_o mean_n of_o salvation_n they_o that_o do_v so_o must_v either_o imagine_v that_o

and_o then_o it_o will_v go_v well_o with_o they_o here_o and_o hereafter_o thus_o have_v i_o give_v you_o my_o scatter_a thought_n which_o i_o have_v endeavour_v to_o put_v together_o as_o well_o
