of_o may_n 1687._o to_o william_n smythies_n curate_n of_o st._n giles_n cripplegate_n i_o have_v be_v often_o desire_v to_o visit_v the_o condemn_a prisoner_n and_o have_v hear_v some_o passage_n which_o i_o can_v have_v wish_v have_v be_v publish_v for_o the_o prevention_n of_o mischief_n to_o many_o person_n and_o family_n but_o be_v unwilling_a to_o be_v the_o penman_n of_o they_o well_o know_v what_o censure_v many_o man_n lie_v under_o for_o do_v those_o thing_n which_o be_v design_v for_o the_o good_a of_o other_o i_o have_v therefore_o visit_v some_o person_n both_o in_o the_o city_n and_o some_o adjacent_a place_n who_o have_v be_v accuse_v by_o condemn_a malefactor_n as_o most_o destructive_a abetter_n and_o entertainer_n of_o they_o and_o other_o robber_n and_o i_o have_v some_o reason_n to_o hope_v it_o be_v with_o good_a success_n i_o be_v under_o a_o special_a obligation_n to_o attend_v upon_o a_o young_a man_n who_o be_v execute_v yesterday_o in_o the_o prime_n and_o strength_n of_o his_o year_n and_o be_v satisfy_v that_o what_o he_o say_v be_v true_a and_o that_o it_o proceed_v from_o a_o great_a sense_n which_o he_o have_v of_o his_o deplorable_a

other_o man_n good_n and_o property_n it_o be_v his_o earnest_a desire_n at_o the_o time_n of_o his_o execution_n that_o all_o young_a man_n especial_o shall_v take_v warn_v by_o he_o that_o they_o avoid_v the_o company_n of_o those_o who_o lie_v wait_v to_o ensnare_v they_o that_o in_o order_n to_o it_o they_o shall_v take_v care_n they_o misspend_v not_o the_o lord_n day_n and_o especial_o that_o they_o entertain_v not_o wicked_a company_n by_o which_o they_o become_v the_o servant_n of_o the_o devil_n when_o they_o shall_v be_v serve_v god_n in_o his_o public_a worship_n which_o be_v the_o common_a inlet_n of_o all_o wickedness_n and_o one_o of_o the_o first_o step_v towards_o that_o dismal_a end_n which_o he_o bring_v to_o himself_o i_o do_v not_o know_v that_o ever_o i_o observe_v any_o repentance_n in_o a_o condemn_a malefactor_n who_o do_v not_o bitter_o lament_v his_o neglect_n of_o his_o duty_n to_o god_n on_o that_o day_n those_o young_a person_n who_o make_v the_o lord_n day_n a_o day_n of_o idleness_n little_o think_v what_o advantage_n they_o give_v the_o tempter_n by_o degree_n to_o make_v that_o and_o all_o other_o to_o be_v day_n of_o wickedness_n he_o acknowledge_v that_o there_o be_v no_o pleasure_n but_o in_o a_o sober_a and_o religious_a life_n and_o that_o the_o way_n of_o wickedness_n do_v not_o only_o tend_v to_o the_o destruction_n of_o soul_n and_o body_n but_o be_v the_o occasion_n of_o such_o fear_n and_o perplexity_n as_o outweigh_v all_o the_o profit_n of_o ungodliness_n and_o that_o be_v not_o all_o but_o they_o bring_v most_o intolerably-wounding_a grief_n and_o sorrow_n to_o tender_a parent_n which_o be_v a_o great_a aggravation_n of_o his_o trouble_n and_o occasion_v his_o earnest_a request_n that_o all_o good_a christian_n will_v pray_v to_o god_n to_o comfort_v his_o religious_a father_n and_o mother_n who_o have_v it_o all_o respect_v discharge_v their_o duty_n of_o love_n towards_o he_o and_o i_o be_o sure_a there_o be_v great_a need_n of_o such_o prayer_n these_o consideration_n have_v prevail_v with_o he_o to_o avoid_v all_o ill_a company_n for_o the_o space_n of_o a_o month_n or_o more_o before_o he_o be_v take_v and_o if_o he_o have_v escape_v this_o sentence_n it_o be_v very_o probable_a that_o he_o will_v have_v change_v the_o course_n of_o his_o action_n early_o piety_n be_v the_o best_a security_n against_o all_o evil_n young_a man_n may_v choose_v the_o fear_n of_o god_n and_o his_o easy_a and_o pleasant_a yoke_n but_o if_o they_o break_v loose_a and_o begin_v a_o ungodly_a life_n they_o can_v not_o tell_v to_o what_o degree_n of_o wickedness_n they_o shall_v increase_v when_o they_o shall_v come_v off_o from_o it_o or_o at_o what_o time_n the_o judgement_n of_o god_n will_v overtake_v they_o but_o my_o design_n be_v not_o now_o to_o enlarge_v upon_o those_o argument_n which_o harden_a mind_n can_v resist_v though_o they_o come_v from_o die_a man_n when_o in_o
