already_o mention_v in_o the_o preface_n to_o the_o first_o volume_n of_o his_o contemplation_n he_o be_v a_o man_n who_o have_v a_o extraordinary_a faculty_n of_o do_v much_o in_o a_o little_a time_n and_o yet_o do_v he_o as_o high_o value_n and_o be_v as_o great_a a_o husband_n of_o his_o time_n as_o any_o man_n i_o have_v know_v or_o read_v of_o but_o of_o no_o part_n of_o his_o time_n be_v he_o more_o frugal_a than_o of_o that_o which_o be_v set_v apart_o for_o sacred_a uses_n that_o none_o of_o that_o may_v be_v suffer_v to_o run_v waste_n especial_o of_o the_o christian_a sabbath_n or_o lord_n day_n he_o be_v most_o religious_o observant_a both_o in_o public_a and_o in_o private_a in_o his_o family_n and_o in_o his_o study_n and_o his_o religious_a observation_n thereof_o do_v not_o only_o procure_v to_o himself_o as_o he_o always_o believe_v a_o special_a blessing_n upon_o his_o employment_n of_o the_o rest_n of_o his_o time_n in_o his_o other_o study_n and_o secular_a

do_v intervene_v between_o evening_n sermon_n and_o suppertime_n he_o usual_o employ_v in_o pious_a meditation_n and_o have_v a_o very_a ready_a hand_n at_o writing_n he_o usual_o write_v his_o

have_v indeed_o some_o thought_n of_o some_o other_o use_v that_o he_o or_o he_o may_v make_v thereof_o as_o that_o afterward_o review_v what_o he_o have_v write_v long_o before_o he_o may_v see_v what_o progress_n he_o have_v make_v in_o the_o mean_a time_n and_o possible_o they_o may_v be_v of_o some_o use_n or_o benefit_n to_o some_o of_o his_o family_n but_o what_o i_o first_o mention_v be_v the_o first_o and_o principal_a occasion_n and_o motive_n to_o it_o of_o the_o short_a discourse_n i_o find_v divers_a of_o the_o original_n in_o the_o hand_n of_o his_o child_n and_o servant_n and_o a_o great_a part_n of_o the_o rest_n in_o a_o very_a neglect_a condition_n till_o i_o persuade_v and_o prevail_v with_o he_o to_o let_v they_o be_v collect_v and_o bind_v together_o in_o volume_n but_o of_o these_o among_o which_o this_o be_v one_o i_o be_o well_o satisfy_v there_o be_v none_o which_o he_o intend_v when_o he_o write_v they_o shall_v ever_o be_v print_v though_o he_o have_v since_o write_v other_o which_o he_o intend_v for_o the_o public_a but_o upon_o this_o occasion_n have_v he_o write_v first_o and_o last_o many_o pious_a and_o useful_a discourse_n which_o whether_o intend_v by_o he_o for_o the_o press_n or_o not_o i_o be_o of_o opinion_n may_v do_v much_o good_a in_o the_o world_n if_o they_o be_v print_v 2._o his_o usual_a manner_n of_o write_v these_o thing_n be_v this_o when_o he_o have_v resolve_v on_o the_o subject_a the_o first_o thing_n he_o usual_o do_v be_v with_o his_o pen_n upon_o some_o loose_a piece_n of_o paper_n and_o sometime_o upon_o a_o corner_n or_o the_o margin_n of_o the_o paper_n he_o write_v on_o to_o draw_v a_o scheme_n of_o his_o whole_a discourse_n or_o of_o so_o much_o of_o it_o as_o he_o design_v at_o that_o time_n to_o consider_v this_o do_v he_o tap_v his_o thought_n and_o let_v they_o run_v as_o he_o express_v it_o to_o i_o himself_o and_o they_o usual_o run_v as_o fast_o as_o his_o hand_n though_o a_o very_a ready_a one_o can_v trace_v they_o insomuch_o that_o in_o that_o space_n as_o he_o have_v tell_v i_o he_o often_o write_v two_o sheet_n and_o at_o other_o time_n between_o one_o and_o two_o and_o i_o have_v myself_o know_v he_o write_v according_a to_o that_o proportion_n when_o i_o have_v be_v read_v in_o the_o same_o room_n with_o he_o for_o divers_a hour_n together_o so_o that_o these_o write_n be_v plain_o a_o kind_n of_o extempore_o meditation_n only_o they_o come_v from_o a_o head_n and_o heart_n well_o fraught_v with_o a_o rich_a treasure_n of_o humane_a and_o divine_a knowledge_n which_o the_o famous_a legislator_n justinian_n make_v the_o necessary_a qualification_n of_o a_o complete_a lawyer_n and_o here_o it_o be_v far_a to_o be_v observe_v that_o all_o his_o large_a tract_n such_o as_o this_o which_o can_v not_o be_v finish_v at_o one_o time_n be_v write_v upon_o great_a interval_n of_o time_n and_o such_o wherein_o much_o business_n of_o a_o quite_o different_a nature_n have_v interpose_v which_o usual_o interrupt_v the_o thread_n of_o a_o man_n thought_n 3._o concern_v the_o book_n itself_o the_o reader_n may_v of_o himself_o perceive_v that_o it_o be_v not_o finish_v but_o that_o he_o have_v design_v to_o have_v continue_v it_o far_o he_o have_v write_v a_o particular_a tract_n of_o do_v as_o we_o will_v be_v do_v to_o which_o be_v the_o subject_a at_o which_o this_o be_v leave_v off_o but_o that_o as_o i_o take_v it_o be_v write_v long_o since_o this_o and_o not_o intend_v for_o any_o continuation_n of_o it_o but_o it_o have_v be_v very_o proper_a to_o have_v be_v join_v with_o it_o have_v i_o have_v any_o transcript_n of_o it_o upon_o perusal_n of_o the_o manuscript_n of_o his_o own_o hand-writing_n it_o may_v be_v further_o observe_v 1._o that_o it_o be_v the_o original_a draught_n and_o no_o transcript_n for_o therein_o as_o i_o remember_v may_v in_o some_o place_n be_v see_v some_o of_o those_o very_a scheme_n which_o he_o first_o draw_v when_o he_o begin_v to_o write_v 2._o that_o he_o have_v not_o so_o much_o as_o revise_v any_o part_n of_o it_o it_o be_v for_o the_o most_o part_n as_o fair_a and_o without_o any_o alteration_n as_o if_o it_o be_v a_o transcript_n 3._o the_o original_a be_v one_o continue_a discourse_n without_o any_o distinction_n of_o part_n or_o chapter_n or_o so_o much_o as_o any_o title_n superscribe_v but_o i_o conceive_v it_o a_o very_a methodical_a discourse_n and_o such_o as_o may_v very_o apt_o be_v distinguish_v into_o those_o part_n and_o chapter_n
