where_o he_o be_v i_o find_v he_o sit_v down_o to_o dinner_n his_o meat_n be_v upon_o the_o table_n it_o be_v only_o a_o piece_n of_o very_a salt_n beef_n as_o big_a as_o a_o man_n fist_n it_o be_v

of_o god_n in_o my_o own_o heart_n the_o appearance_n of_o that_o will_v teach_v i_o more_o than_o man_n can_v teach_v i_o that_o will_v show_v i_o who_o be_v god_n friend_n and_o who_o be_v his_o

that_o ever_o be_v hear_v of_o pag._n 133._o that_o he_o be_v some_o year_n before_o his_o decease_n like_o a_o statue_n or_o unsensible_a image_n which_o can_v scarce_o see_v or_o understand_v be_v

for_o my_o own_o part_n i_o never_o know_v any_o tyranny_n or_o usurpation_n by_o g._n f._n i_o do_v not_o see_v he_o for_o some_o few_o year_n before_o his_o decease_n yet_o i_o always_o observe_v he_o much_o when_o i_o be_v in_o his_o company_n because_o his_o enemy_n make_v a_o great_a noise_n of_o his_o bulk_n he_o be_v pretty_a tall_a of_o stature_n and_o a_o very_a great_a bone_a man_n in_o my_o judgement_n but_o his_o face_n be_v not_o so_o fat_a as_o some_o fat_a man_n face_n be_v by_o much_o his_o hand_n be_v stiff_a and_o swell_v so_o that_o he_o can_v not_o well_o write_v in_o

he_o speak_v to_o that_o purpose_n he_o wear_v loose_a garment_n always_o when_o i_o see_v he_o that_o i_o can_v describe_v his_o bulk_n but_o i_o can_v perceive_v that_o he_o be_v somewhat_o burly_a but_o not_o as_o f._n bugg_n describe_v he_o and_o for_o his_o doziness_n and_o insensibility_n that_o many_o hundred_o can_v witness_v to_o the_o contrary_a for_o in_o less_o than_o three_o day_n before_o his_o decease_n he_o preach_v in_o the_o meeting_n in_o white-hart-court_n in_o gracious-street_n he_o preach_v before_o a_o great_a congregation_n of_o people_n and_o pray_v also_o in_o
