brethren_n know_v by_o the_o spirit_n that_o they_o be_v not_o the_o child_n of_o the_o lord_n but_o satan_n child_n they_o be_v the_o child_n of_o darkness_n we_o the_o child_n of_o light_n we_o be_v glorify_v and_o sanctify_v by_o supernatural_a grace_n we_o be_v a_o peculiar_a people_n and_o the_o holy_a prophet_n of_o the_o lord_n to_o foresee_a foretell_a and_o declare_v his_o will_n and_o pleasure_n also_o we_o be_v to_o encourage_v and_o comfort_v the_o saint_n in_o affliction_n and_o time_n of_o tribulation_n and_o consolation_n and_o to_o help_v they_o to_o present_v their_o sanctify_a sigh_n tear_n and_o groan_n unto_o the_o lord_n but_o the_o spirit_n move_v i_o to_o pray_o and_o to_o leave_v off_o preach_v wherefore_o let_v we_o pray_v unto_o the_o lord_n so_o after_o the_o holy_a brother_n have_v do_v his_o prayer_n mr._n n._n n._n who_o be_v there_o pull_v off_o his_o peruick_a and_o put_v on_o a_o nightcap_n wherein_o he_o appear_v so_o like_o a_o holy_a brother_n as_o they_o take_v he_o for_o one_o of_o their_o sect_n and_o he_o preach_v this_o follow_a sermon_n dear_o belove_a brethren_n we_o be_v here_o meet_v in_o a_o congregation_n together_o some_o to_o teach_v other_o to_o learn_v but_o neither_o the_o teach_v nor_o learn_v can_v be_v any_o other_o way_n but_o natural_a and_o according_a to_o human_a capacity_n for_o we_o can_v be_v celestial_a whilst_o we_o be_v terrestrial_a neither_o can_v we_o be_v glorify_v whilst_o we_o be_v mortal_a and_o subject_a to_o death_n nor_o yet_o can_v we_o arrive_v to_o the_o purity_n of_o saint_n or_o angel_n whilst_o we_o be_v subject_a to_o natural_a imperfection_n both_o in_o body_n and_o mind_n but_o there_o be_v some_o man_n that_o believe_v they_o be_v or_o at_o least_o may_v be_v so_o pure_a in_o spirit_n by_o save_v grace_n as_o to_o be_v sanctify_v and_o to_o be_v so_o much_o fill_v with_o the_o holy_a ghost_n as_o to_o have_v spiritual_a vision_n and_o ordinary_o to_o have_v conversation_n with_o god_n believe_v god_n to_o be_v a_o common_a companion_n to_o their_o idle_a imagination_n but_o this_o opinion_n proceed_v from_o a_o extraordinary_a self-love_n self-pride_n and_o self-ambition_n as_o to_o believe_v they_o be_v the_o only_a fit_a companion_n for_o god_n himself_o and_o that_o not_o any_o of_o god_n creature_n be_v or_o be_v worthy_a to_o be_v favour_v but_o they_o much_o less_o to_o be_v make_v of_o god_n privy_a counsel_n as_o they_o believe_v they_o be_v as_o to_z know_v his_o will_n and_o pleasure_n his_o decree_n and_o destiny_n which_o indeed_o be_v not_o to_o be_v know_v for_o the_o creator_n be_v too_o mighty_a for_o a_o creature_n to_o comprehend_v he_o wherefore_o let_v we_o humble_o pray_v to_o what_o we_o can_v conceive_v but_o before_o he_o have_v quite_o end_v his_o sermon_n the_o holy_a flock_n begin_v to_o bustle_n and_o at_o last_o go_v quite_o out_o of_o the_o room_n so_o that_o he_o may_v have_v pray_v by_o himself_o have_v not_o i_o and_o two_o or_o three_o lady_n more_o that_o be_v of_o my_o company_n stay_v and_o when_o he_o have_v do_v his_o short_a prayer_n he_o tell_v i_o and_o the_o other_o lady_n that_o he_o have_v do_v that_o which_o the_o great_a counsel_n of_o state_n can_v not_o do_v for_o he_o have_v by_o one_o short_a discourse_n disperse_v a_o company_n of_o sectary_n without_o noise_n or_o disturbance_n but_o at_o last_o we_o disperse_v ourselves_o to_o our_o own_o house_n although_o mr._n n._n n._n will_v have_v give_v we_o a_o ball_n after_o a_o sermon_n but_o i_o be_v so_o tire_v with_o the_o one_o as_o i_o be_v not_o fit_a for_o the_o other_o for_o we_o be_v from_o morning_n till_o evening_n to_o hear_v they_o preach_v yet_o as_o tire_v and_o weary_a as_o i_o be_o i_o can_v not_o choose_v but_o repeat_v these_o two_o of_o their_o short_a sermon_n which_o i_o hear_v and_o so_o i_o subscribe_v myself_o madam_n your_o faithful_a friend_n and_o servant_n lxxvii_o madam_n you_o be_v please_v to_o desire_v i_o to_o read_v the_o romance_n of_o a._n as_o also_o the_o romance_n of_o c._n which_o i_o have_v obey_v in_o read_v the_o romance_n of_o a_o but_o as_o yet_o i_o have_v not_o read_v any_o part_n of_o c._n and_o to_o give_v you_o a_o account_n of_o my_o perusal_n i_o think_v there_o be_v more_o love_n than_o reason_n in_o it_o and_o more_o wit_n than_o truth_n or_o probability_n of_o truth_n and_o certain_o it_o be_v deplorable_a that_o so_o much_o wit_n and_o eloquence_n shall_v be_v waste_v on_o amorous_a love_n as_o also_o to_o bring_v all_o scholastical_a as_o theological_n physical_a logistical_a and_o the_o like_a argument_n dispute_n and_o discourse_n into_o the_o theme_n of_o amorous_a love_n which_o love_n be_v between_o appetite_n or_o desire_n and_o fruition_n of_o different_a sex_n of_o man_n and_o woman_n but_o i_o perceive_v that_o romance-writer_n endeavour_v to_o make_v all_o their_o romance-reader_n believe_v that_o the_o god_n nature_n fate_n destiny_n and_o fortune_n do_v employ_v or_o busy_v themselves_o only_o in_o the_o affair_n of_o amorous_a lover_n which_o be_v a_o very_a low_a employment_n or_o concern_v also_o i_o perceive_v that_o romance-lover_n be_v very_o rheumatic_a for_o if_o all_o the_o tear_n romance_n express_v lover_n to_o shed_v be_v gather_v or_o unite_v it_o will_v cause_v a_o second_o deluge_n of_o the_o world_n it_o seem_v amorous_a love_n be_v compose_v more_o of_o water_n than_o fire_n and_o more_o of_o desire_n than_o fruition_n but_o leave_v amorous_a lover_n to_o more_o folly_n than_o discretion_n to_o lose_v more_o time_n than_o to_o gain_v love_n and_o wish_v they_o sound_a lung_n for_o sigh_n and_o moist_a eye_n for_o tear_n i_o rest_v madam_n your_o

and_o age_n for_o most_o student_n despise_v all_o new_a work_n and_o only_a delight_n in_o old_a worm-eaten_a record_n the_o truth_n be_v few_o book_n be_v read_v throughout_o the_o first_o age_n

have_v his_o write_n know_v and_o esteem_v of_o in_o his_o life_n time_n be_v to_o send_v they_o to_o travel_v into_o foreign_a nation_n for_o at_o home_n they_o will_v find_v but_o little_a

that_o the_o more_o word_n we_o use_v in_o prayer_n the_o worse_o they_o be_v accept_v for_o i_o think_v a_o silent_a adoration_n be_v better_o accept_v of_o god_n than_o a_o self-conceited_a babble_v then_o she_o ask_v i_o if_o i_o think_v one_o may_v not_o be_v refine_v by_o temper_v their_o passion_n and_o appetite_n or_o by_o banish_v the_o worst_a of_o they_o from_o the_o soul_n and_o body_n to_o that_o degree_n as_o to_o be_v a_o deity_n or_o so_o divine_a as_o to_o be_v above_o the_o nature_n of_o man_n i_o say_v no_o for_o put_v the_o case_n man_n can_v turn_v brass_n or_o iron_n or_o such_o gross_a metal_n into_o gold_n and_o refine_v that_o gold_n into_o its_o height_n of_o purity_n yet_o it_o will_v be_v but_o a_o metal_n still_o so_o likewise_o the_o most_o refine_a man_n will_v be_v but_o human_a still_o he_o will_v be_v still_o a_o man_n and_o not_o a_o god_n nay_o take_v the_o best_a of_o godly_a man_n such_o as_o have_v be_v refine_v by_o grace_n prayer_n and_o

to_o be_v wonder_v at_o and_o certain_o the_o like_a be_v in_o every_o age_n for_o the_o composition_n of_o mankind_n be_v not_o so_o pure_a but_o there_o be_v both_o scum_n and_o dregs_o the_o

of_o other_o howsoever_o the_o action_n of_o this_o lord_n and_o lady_n show_v that_o their_o birth_n be_v better_a than_o their_o breed_n or_o that_o fortune_n have_v favour_v they_o more_o with_o
