of_o her_o sex_n and_o that_o age_n within_o the_o compass_n of_o my_o acquaintance_n her_o piety_n and_o charity_n be_v commendable_a in_o any_o age_n admirable_a in_o one_o so_o young_a as_o she_o

upon_o some_o speech_n against_o the_o violation_n of_o the_o religious_a rest_n of_o that_o day_n by_o carnal_a recreation_n she_o show_v her_o dislike_n of_o dance_v on_o the_o sabbath_n so_o far_o

such_o as_o will_v compel_v she_o to_o do_v it_o it_o be_v no_o breach_n of_o piety_n but_o a_o act_n of_o charity_n as_o lawful_a as_o the_o labour_n bestow_v to_o lift_v up_o a_o ox_n out_o of_o

these_o two_o be_v so_o habitual_o settle_v in_o she_o that_o in_o the_o exercise_n of_o both_o so_o far_o as_o other_o can_v judge_v she_o take_v much_o delight_n how_o can_v it_o be_v but_o a_o

with_o the_o peril_n of_o life_n by_o this_o child_n you_o may_v make_v some_o conjecture_n of_o her_o mother_n for_o child_n especial_o in_o their_o minority_n owe_v much_o unto_o their_o mother_n
