be_v nor_o what_o she_o have_v yet_o this_o we_o know_v of_o this_o dear_a saint_n our_o sister_n a_o peace_n she_o have_v internal_a and_o external_a too_o even_o whilst_o she_o live_v here_o and_o they_o be_v good_a forerunner_n of_o that_o eternal_a in_o the_o heaven_n where_o to_o be_v sure_a it_o concern_v they_o she_o be_v at_o peace_n who_o be_v the_o uncivil_a disturber_n of_o her_o funeral_n rite_n or_o they_o may_v fear_v thence_o a_o sudden_a requital_n for_o those_o disturbance_n however_o such_o be_v the_o saint_n insuperable_a happiness_n not_o to_o be_v touch_v with_o thing_n below_o and_o such_o be_v she_o who_o though_o she_o may_v not_o be_v permit_v to_o go_v down_o to_o the_o earth_n her_o mother_n in_o peace_n no_o more_o than_o so_o i_o of_o they_o yet_o can_v she_o not_o be_v hinder_v from_o sit_v down_o in_o peace_n with_o those_o holy_a one_o in_o the_o bosom_n of_o her_o father_n which_o be_v in_o heaven_n it_o be_v enough_o then_o that_o god_n

quiet_a of_o her_o better_a part_n no_o wonder_n then_o this_o young_a sweet_a saint_n haste_v thither_o whither_o her_o early_a perfection_n do_v convey_v her_o timely_a holiness_n be_v to_o god_n most_o acceptable_a yet_o do_v she_o stay_v god_n leisure_n here_o and_o go_v not_o hence_o without_o his_o great_a commission_n till_o patience_n have_v she_o full_a effect_n in_o she_o and_o seal_v she_o up_o for_o heaven_n where_o now_o her_o innocence_n and_o patience_n have_v captivate_v death_n in_o perfect_a triumph_n and_o this_o may_v comfort_v we_o who_o here_o remain_v behind_o she_o that_o god_n in_o his_o due_a time_n will_v silence_v such_o who_o ere_o they_o be_v who_o thus_o like_o foul-mouthed_a earthworm_n not_o christian_n fasten_v their_o tooth_n caniball-like_a upon_o

my_o dear_a spousesse_v who_o death_n give_v life_n to_o this_o funeral_n sermon_n yet_o you_o will_v find_v as_o it_o be_v in_o the_o natural_a so_o in_o this_o spiritual_a body_n this_o pious_a sermon_n it_o can_v not_o quicken_v except_o itself_o die_v first_o it_o do_v so_o for_o it_o lay_v speechless_a and_o so_o dead_a all_o this_o while_n and_o now_o it_o lie_v in_o thy_o own_o power_n by_o god_n grace_n assist_v to_o let_v it_o quicken_v both_o itself_o and_o we_o nay_o let_v the_o power_n of_o god_n accompany_v this_o power_n of_o godliness_n we_o need_v not_o doubt_v its_o

his_o precept_n who_o bid_v they_o let_v even_o the_o tare_n grow_v until_o the_o harvest_n so_o hope_v we_o will_v and_o pray_v we_o must_v that_o those_o rude_a hand_n who_o will_v not_o let_v alone_o a_o peaceful_a sermon_n may_v yet_o at_o least_o reap_v something_o better_a by_o it_o than_o the_o shameful_a fruit_n of_o their_o inhumanities_n from_o it_o however_o here_o it_o be_v a_o treatise_n i_o may_v say_v able_a to_o rectify_v those_o spirit_n of_o contention_n and_o blind_a zeal_n which_o lead_v they_o thus_o to_o violate_v the_o dead_a even_o before_o they_o can_v come_v into_o their_o dormitory_n and_o now_o they_o have_v the_o sermon_n in_o their_o eye_n and_o at_o their_o hand_n when_o ere_o they_o please_v to_o take_v it_o they_o can_v say_v but_o that_o they_o have_v it_o ready_a to_o convey_v it_o to_o their_o heart_n one_o way_n or_o other_o if_o god_n have_v not_o deny_v or_o they_o refuse_v humility_n to_o entertain_v it_o else_o i_o be_o sure_a it_o can_v prove_v to_o the_o live_v a_o dead_a letter_n but_o serve_v to_o quicken_v they_o as_o well_o as_o bury_v she_o which_o be_v intend_v the_o press_n must_v be_v the_o preacher_n and_o as_o it_o
