know_v have_v visited_n her_o several_a time_n whilst_o she_o be_v in_o london_n my_o lady_n have_v several_a discourse_n with_o father_n travers_n in_o which_o he_o give_v she_o so_o evident_a a_o

of_o our_o saviour_n she_o desire_v he_o not_o to_o deny_v she_o he_o be_v surprise_v at_o such_o a_o earnest_n and_o unusual_a petition_n and_o tell_v she_o he_o wonder_v she_o shall_v by_o so_o earnest_a a_o solicitation_n express_v a_o fear_n of_o his_o refusal_n who_o have_v never_o yet_o deny_v she_o any_o thing_n she_o have_v ask_v and_o therefore_o she_o need_v not_o with_o that_o earnestness_n demand_v any_o thing_n that_o be_v in_o his_o power_n to_o grant_v since_o she_o can_v not_o but_o know_v it_o be_v as_o great_a a_o satisfaction_n to_o he_o to_o grant_v her_o request_n

know_v her_o zeal_n for_o the_o protestant_a religion_n and_o how_o far_o she_o be_v from_o sickleness_n or_o unconstancy_n in_o any_o thing_n especial_o in_o religion_n can_v not_o conceive_v what_o

such_o convince_a reason_n of_o the_o truth_n of_o it_o that_o she_o no_o long_o doubt_v there_o be_v any_o other_o way_n to_o salvation_n than_o by_o make_v herself_o a_o member_n of_o the_o roman_a catholic_a church_n sir_n john_n desire_v she_o not_o to_o be_v too_o rash_a in_o her_o resolution_n tell_v she_o that_o oftentimes_o a_o too_o precepitous_a zeal_n be_v apt_a to_o outrun_v reason_n and_o discretion_n and_o make_v resolution_n otherways_o good_a to_o become_v abortive_a that_o too_o great_a heat_n be_v a_o hindrance_n from_o bring_v any_o thing_n to_o prefection_n and_o then_o add_v how_o uncomfortable_a a_o thing_n it_o will_v be_v for_o they_o to_o be_v of_o different_a religion_n that_o he_o have_v a_o soul_n to_o save_v as_o well_o as_o she_o and_o that_o no_o temporal_a interest_n or_o loss_n of_o reputation_n shall_v hinder_v he_o from_o do_v what_o be_v necessary_a to_o obtain_v salvation_n that_o he_o be_v trouble_v no_o less_o than_o herself_o be_v upon_o what_o she_o have_v relate_v and_o assure_v she_o that_o he_o will_v not_o rest_v satisfy_v till_o he_o be_v thorough_o convince_v which_o of_o the_o two_o religion_n be_v the_o true_a and_o that_o perhaps_o after_o a_o diligent_a enquiry_n he_o may_v be_v of_o the_o same_o mind_n with_o she_o and_o that_o it_o will_v be_v most_o comfortable_a to_o both_o to_o embrace_v the_o same_o

which_o if_o he_o can_v not_o she_o will_v then_o have_v little_a reason_n to_o acquiesce_v in_o those_o argument_n he_o have_v give_v she_o for_o it_o and_o last_o desire_v she_o for_o s●me_a time_n at_o least_o to_o defer_v for_o his_o sake_n the_o change_n of_o her_o religion_n however_o if_o she_o think_v these_o his_o reason_n insufficient_a to_o move_v she_o to_o do_v what_o he_o desire_v he_o leave_v she_o intir_o to_o her_o liberty_n to_o do_v what_o she_o think_v best_a hereupon_o she_o resolve_v to_o put_v off_o her_o reconciliation_n till_o another_o time_n the_o next_o morning_n sir_n john_n not_o doubt_v but_o that_o the_o difficulty_n he_o have_v to_o propose_v be_v unanswerable_a accost_v the_o gentleman_n who_o handsome_o elude_v all_o question_n that_o may_v occasion_v

and_o do_v not_o give_v he_o the_o same_o satisfaction_n in_o his_o doubt_n that_o he_o find_v he_o have_v give_v she_o in_o she_o the_o gentleman_n perceive_v that_o my_o lady_n have_v inform_v sir_n

sir_n john_n be_v astonish_v and_o have_v nothing_o to_o reply_v to_o his_o answer_n they_o be_v so_o clear_a and_o convince_a among_o other_o thing_n sir_n john_n ask_v he_o what_o rational_a

and_o so_o ingenious_o moralize_v upon_o god_n infinite_a goodness_n and_o mercy_n that_o will_v not_o permit_v he_o to_o damn_v a_o soul_n for_o one_o small_a offence_n no_o more_o than_o his_o justice_n will_v suffer_v any_o thing_n that_o be_v defile_v to_o enter_v into_o heaven_n and_o therefore_o require_v either_o a_o voluntary_a penance_n or_o mortification_n to_o be_v undergo_v in_o this_o life_n or_o a_o involuntary_a punishment_n to_o be_v suffer_v in_o the_o next_o to_o purify_v such_o a_o soul_n and_o thereby_o render_v it_o fit_a for_o heaven_n and_o also_o clear_o

and_o how_o much_o more_o acceptable_a the_o one_o must_v needs_o be_v to_o god_n than_o the_o other_o and_o that_o therefore_o a_o small_a penance_n perform_v in_o this_o world_n be_v able_a to_o

of_o it_o and_o will_v have_v it_o so_o since_o he_o be_v please_v to_o have_v it_o so_o but_o this_o cut_v my_o heart_n into_o a_o thousand_o piece_n then_o i_o resolve_v i_o will_v never_o give_v

to_o torment_v i_o god_n be_v thank_v for_o all_o the_o great_a kindness_n she_o here_o express_v for_o brother_n clare_n give_v she_o without_o doubt_v the_o chief_a cause_n of_o that_o trouble_n
