the_o humble_a of_o your_o attendant_n give_v i_o leave_v to_o follow_v this_o day_n solemnity_n with_o these_o honest_a wish_n that_o you_o mighty_a and_o prince_n that_o you_o who_o like_a god_n determine_v of_o other_o man_n life_n and_o fortune_n will_v consult_v both_o your_o dignity_n and_o your_o duty_n and_o consider_v that_o you_o be_v god_n minister_n as_o well_o as_o the_o king_n that_o you_o act_n by_o a_o divine_a commission_n as_o well_o as_o a_o civil_a and_o that_o you_o be_v as_o much_o accountable_a to_o heaven_n as_o to_o the_o state_n my_o wish_n therefore_o be_v that_o you_o may_v be_v as_o zealous_a for_o god_n interest_n as_o for_o their_o majesty_n and_o do_v our_o holy_a religion_n as_o much_o service_n as_o you_o do_v the_o nation_n that_o atheism_n debauchery_n and_o profaneness_n may_v be_v as_o severe_o animadvert_v upon_o by_o you_o as_o dishonesty_n injustice_n or_o oppression_n and_o in_o sum_n that_o you_o will_v at_o least_o use_v a_o equal_a care_n to_o see_v the_o law_n of_o god_n execute_v against_o all_o irreligion_n vice_n and_o immorality_n which_o be_v the_o scandal_n and_o bane_n of_o pure_a and_o undefiled_a religion_n as_o to_o see_v the_o law_n of_o the_o land_n execute_v against_o those_o other_o sin_n that_o be_v destructive_a of_o humane_a society_n that_o so_o we_o may_v be_v a_o nation_n thorough_o reform_v in_o our_o life_n and_o manner_n as_o well_o as_o in_o our_o faith_n and_o public_a worship_n and_o that_o we_o may_v be_v deliver_v not_o only_o from_o other_o man_n violence_n but_o from_o our_o own_o reign_v vice_n the_o black_a slavery_n of_o the_o two_o and_o as_o i_o wish_v you_o thus_o concern_v for_o the_o practical_a part_n of_o our_o religion_n so_o for_o the_o political_a part_n also_o that_o the_o establish_v church_n of_o england_n may_v be_v happy_a in_o your_o encouragement_n and_o protection_n consider_v o_o you_o mighty_a that_o you_o be_v not_o only_a christian_n at_o

receive_v you_o into_o her_o bosom_n and_o take_v some_o care_n i_o beseech_v you_o that_o the_o more_o she_o indulge_v the_o worse_a she_o be_v not_o use_v and_o that_o the_o charitable_a liberty_n she_o have_v yield_v to_o other_o may_v not_o embolden_v they_o to_o appear_v the_o more_o virulent_a enemy_n against_o she_o last_o let_v i_o beg_v that_o our_o neighbour_n of_o the_o country_n magistracy_n will_v admit_v my_o good_a wish_n also_o gentleman_n though_o you_o be_v not_o the_o high_a station_n yet_o perhaps_o it_o be_v that_o upon_o which_o the_o motion_n of_o the_o great_a

they_o please_v yet_o if_o you_o be_v either_o remiss_a or_o partial_a in_o the_o discharge_n of_o your_o trust_n the_o course_n of_o justice_n must_v needs_o be_v extreme_o obstruct_v you_o be_v
