he_o during_o his_o confinement_n and_o leave_v they_o for_o their_o advantage_n after_o his_o death_n and_o for_o the_o good_a of_o all_o christian_a family_n my_o dear_a wife_n since_o while_o the_o providence_n of_o god_n have_v be_v please_v in_o great_a mercy_n to_o continue_v we_o together_o as_o happy_a yoak-fellow_n and_o partner_n in_o each_o other_o felicity_n we_o do_v still_o live_v in_o all_o godly_a amity_n and_o friendship_n as_o become_v we_o be_v so_o near_o unite_v i_o have_v still_o the_o same_o bowel_n of_o compassion_n now_o in_o this_o time_n of_o adversity_n as_o ever_o i_o have_v i_o can_v tell_v how_o to_o show_v that_o real_a affection_n and_o tender_a care_n due_a to_o my_o other-self's_a as_o i_o may_v true_o and_o real_o call_v you_o and_o that_o young_a offspring_n that_o god_n have_v give_v we_o you_o be_v as_o a_o fruitful-vine_n and_o they_o even_o as_o so_o many_o delicious_a olive-branch_n stand_v round_o about_o our_o table_n then_o by_o bestow_v my_o little_a time_n give_v i_o here_o or_o at_o least_o some_o hour_n separate_v from_o the_o great_a employment_n that_o i_o be_o about_o to_o prepare_v for_o death_n and_o my_o happy_a state_n in_o another_o world_n to_o give_v you_o some_o cordial_a instruction_n that_o you_o may_v think_v upon_o when_o i_o be_o dead_a and_o go_v and_o some_o grave_a and_o serious_a exhortation_n that_o may_v be_v fix_v on_o your_o spirit_n because_o come_v from_o your_o dear_a though_o now_o depart_a husband_n that_o so_o though_o death_n that_o king_n of_o terror_n may_v separate_v we_o for_o a_o while_n yet_o when_o it_o shall_v please_v the_o almighty_a of_o his_o fatherly_a goodness_n to_o remove_v you_o out_o of_o this_o miserable_a vale_n of_o tear_n that_o then_o we_o may_v

your_o duty_n to_o god_n especial_o in_o the_o great_a part_n of_o his_o divine_a worship_n incumbent_a on_o all_o i._o let_v your_o private_a prayer_n and_o access_n to_o the_o throne_n of_o grace_n be_v often_o be_v no_o stranger_n at_o the_o gate_n of_o mercy_n while_o there_o be_v a_o ear_n of_o favour_n open_a and_o be_v encourage_v since_o god_n hear_v the_o cry_n of_o the_o widow_n to_o defend_v she_o from_o all_o danger_n ii_o be_v also_o frequent_a in_o read_v and_o consult_v the_o holy_a scripture_n they_o be_v the_o oracle_n of_o truth_n and_o there_o you_o may_v find_v the_o treasure_n of_o wisdom_n and_o knowledge_n thence_o you_o may_v suck_v promise_n that_o will_v be_v as_o milk_n flow_v from_o the_o breast_n of_o true_a consolation_n oh_o i_o can_v say_v it_o true_o that_o from_o those_o fountain_n have_v stream_v such_o cordial_n into_o my_o soul_n as_o now_o enable_v i_o to_o go_v through_o with_o this_o great_a and_o sharp_a suffer_v with_o patience_n know_v from_o thence_o that_o no_o strange_a thing_n have_v happen_v to_o i_o iii_o be_v no_o stranger_n to_o the_o ordinance_n of_o god_n as_o hear_v the_o word_n for_o your_o edification_n and_o receive_v

child_n and_o your_o servant_n be_v always_o present_a at_o the_o time_n of_o prayer_n and_o read_v the_o word_n so_o that_o it_o may_v be_v say_v by_o you_o as_o by_o good_a joshuah_n of_o old_a as_o for_o you_o and_o your_o house_n you_o will_v serve_v the_o lord_n i_o shall_v only_o urge_v that_o of_o the_o apostle_n pray_v without_o cease_v and_o be_v always_o abound_v in_o the_o work_n of_o
