than_o all_o the_o world_n thence_o it_o follow_v necessary_o that_o the_o loss_n of_o one_o of_o they_o be_v a_o great_a loss_n and_o more_o to_o be_v lament_v than_o the_o loss_n of_o a_o thousand_o

for_o the_o other_o 2._o if_o this_o be_v one_o evidence_n that_o the_o lord_n value_v his_o saint_n namely_o that_o he_o honour_v they_o and_o remember_v their_o faith_n and_o other_o grace_n to_o their_o praise_n many_o hundred_o year_n after_o they_o be_v dead_a and_o asleep_a in_o their_o grave_n then_o sure_o it_o be_v a_o duty_n which_o we_o also_o owe_v to_o all_o saint_n after_o they_o be_v dead_a to_o speak_v good_a of_o their_o name_n and_o to_o perperuate_v the_o memory_n of_o their_o worth_n and_o grace_n in_o the_o heart_n and_o ear_n of_o other_o that_o survive_v they_o the_o

mean_a saint_n how_o much_o more_o do_v he_o esteem_v this_o honourable_a person_n who_o grace_n make_v he_o not_o only_o more_o worthy_a than_o all_o unbeliever_n in_o the_o world_n but_o also_o more_o conspicuous_a and_o eminent_a than_o the_o great_a number_n of_o true_a believer_n in_o the_o church_n whereof_o if_o any_o doubt_n or_o have_v hitherto_o be_v ignorant_a he_o will_v now_o
