what_o shall_v i_o say_v for_o application_n shall_v i_o reprove_v those_o who_o err_v in_o opinion_n and_o build_v their_o good_a name_n upon_o greatness_n glory_n fame_n natural_a endowment_n moral_a accomplishment_n beauty_n wit_n mirth_n friendship_n and_o the_o like_a or_o any_o thing_n not_o christian_n or_o shall_v i_o stir_v you_o up_o to_o lay_v a_o sure_a foundation_n for_o a_o good_a name_n in_o faith_n holiness_n and_o virtue_n shall_v i_o lessen_v the_o terror_n of_o death_n and_o hasten_v any_o of_o you_o in_o the_o desire_n of_o it_o which_o give_v so_o fair_a a_o season_n to_o this_o glorious_a flower_n a_o good_a name_n which_o shut_v the_o door_n on_o sin_n and_o misery_n and_o open_v to_o eternal_a joy_n in_o all_o these_o the_o text_n may_v be_v a_o copious_a theme_n and_o i_o can_v hardly_o refrain_v from_o enlarge_n but_o because_o example_n have_v a_o more_o lively_a force_n on_o the_o soul_n of_o man_n than_o simple_a precept_n and_o practice_n be_v the_o only_a warrant_n that_o rule_n be_v good_a and_o that_o it_o have_v seem_v good_a to_o he_o who_o have_v the_o issue_n of_o life_n and_o death_n in_o his_o hand_n to_o lay_v such_o a_o pregnant_a spectacle_n before_o our_o eye_n as_o may_v give_v a_o exemplary_a testimony_n to_o the_o truth_n of_o this_o text_n i_o shall_v now_o take_v leave_n to_o set_v before_o your_o christian_a attention_n some_o few_o such_o observation_n from_o and_o upon_o the_o life_n and_o death_n of_o this_o eminent_a personage_n who_o the_o uncontrollable_a will_n of_o the_o almighty_a have_v make_v the_o sad_a occasion_n of_o our_o present_a meeting_n as_o may_z in_o hance_z the_o price_n of_o a_o good_a name_n and_o make_v death_n have_v its_o true_a comfort_n when_o we_o see_v it_o happen_v after_o a_o well-spent_a and_o well-ended_n life_n and_o now_o well_o remember_v where_o i_o be_o and_o in_o who_o dreadful_a presence_n before_o that_o god_n of_o truth_n who_o can_v measure_v the_o deed_n and_o word_n of_o man_n and_o see_v what_o conformity_n they_o hold_v in_o a_o congregation_n also_o among_o many_o of_o who_o the_o light_n of_o her_o conversation_n do_v shine_v and_o can_v not_o be_v hide_v i_o shall_v in_o all_o sincerity_n endeavour_v to_o speak_v nothing_o for_o favour_n relation_n flattery_n or_o to_o gain_v a_o vainglorious_a name_n to_o she_o that_o be_v go_v or_o he_o that_o speak_v but_o to_o set_v forth_o such_o real_a virtue_n as_o shine_v in_o her_o life_n that_o we_o may_v all_o have_v occasion_n to_o glorify_v god_n who_o be_v

precious_a a_o example_n that_o at_o our_o death_n we_o all_o may_v have_v lively_a hope_n to_o be_v also_o number_v among_o the_o live_n and_o to_o leave_v a_o good_a name_n fragrant_a and_o refresh_a to_o all_o those_o who_o live_v after_o we_o and_o now_o where_o shall_v i_o begin_v and_o how_o shall_v i_o find_v a_o end_n both_o do_v seem_v alike_o difficult_a to_o my_o preparation_n whereon_o shall_v i_o lay_v the_o foundation_n to_o build_v a_o precious_a name_n and_o memorial_n for_o she_o who_o herself_o have_v purchase_v it_o so_o many_o way_n shall_v i_o tell_v you_o of_o her_o natural_a part_n and_o endowment_n shall_v i_o tell_v you_o how_o her_o parent_n and_o herself_o have_v perfect_v those_o by_o careful_a education_n art_n and_o industry_n shall_v i_o let_v you_o know_v how_o those_o be_v make_v graceful_a by_o a_o meek_a pleasant_a and_o affable_a deportment_n how_o they_o be_v adorn_v with_o the_o choice_a jewel_n which_o every_o virtue_n can_v afford_v she_o or_o which_o be_v rare_a that_o all_o these_o be_v consecrate_v by_o a_o religious_a even_a frame_n and_o temper_v and_o last_o which_o be_v the_o high_a perfection_n attainable_a on_o earth_n that_o she_o and_o they_o be_v sanctify_v by_o the_o visible_a operation_n of_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n who_o image_n sit_v bright_a and_o glorious_a on_o her_o soul_n and_o do_v shine_v through_o all_o her_o conversation_n these_o be_v the_o solid_a sure_a foundation_n of_o a_o good_a name_n and_o all_o these_o crowd_v so_o into_o my_o thought_n at_o once_o that_o they_o be_v easy_o lose_v in_o the_o many_o fair_a path_n and_o turn_n through_o which_o look_v which_o way_n soever_o you_o will_v her_o excellency_n part_n virtue_n grace_n be_v ready_a to_o invite_v and_o draw_v my_o meditation_n but_o that_o this_o universality_n may_v not_o disorder_v your_o thought_n as_o they_o have_v do_v i_o i_o must_v not_o seek_v such_o argument_n for_o her_o praise_n be_v dead_a as_o have_v no_o fast_a bottom_n for_o a_o inward_a good_a name_n and_z for_o which_o she_o will_v not_o only_o dispraise_v but_o sharp_o censure_v i_o if_o she_o be_v live_v namely_o for_o any_o thing_n she_o have_v by_o nature_n although_o from_o that_o too_o in_o this_o regard_n see_v whatsoever_o nature_n have_v give_v she_o she_o make_v a_o vessel_n to_o lay_v up_o some_o grace_n or_o other_o in_o if_o i_o shall_v tell_v you_o of_o the_o sharpness_n of_o her_o wit_n i_o can_v not_o better_a instance_n to_o prove_v it_o than_o that_o in_o question_n of_o religion_n chief_o case_n of_o conscience_n and_o difficult_a place_n of_o scripture_n she_o be_v most_o sudden_a at_o make_v nice_a doubt_n and_o extraordinary_a happy_a in_o resolve_v they_o at_o least_o to_o the_o satisfy_n of_o other_o although_o such_o be_v her_o humility_n and_o low_a esteem_n of_o she_o own_o gift_n that_o she_o will_v earnest_o labour_v for_o the_o resolution_n of_o other_o rather_o than_o trust_v to_o her_o own_o her_o judgement_n be_v most_o sound_a which_o may_v appear_v as_o by_o concurrence_n with_o the_o wise_a and_o learned_a in_o opinion_n about_o secular_a affair_n private_a or_o public_a so_o chief_o in_o the_o controversy_n in_o religion_n that_o amid_o all_o those_o difference_n and_o variety_n of_o opinion_n to_o the_o knowledge_n of_o which_o she_o be_v draw_v by_o her_o carious_a soul_n which_o have_v a_o mighty_a thirst_n after_o all_o kind_n of_o knowledge_n especial_o in_o matter_n which_o concern_v god_n religion_n and_o eternity_n i_o say_v though_o she_o know_v all_o good_a and_o evil_a yet_o she_o have_v a_o discern_v judgement_n and_o exercise_v sense_n to_o choose_v the_o good_a and_o refuse_v the_o evil_n not_o only_o in_o point_n simple_o necessary_a to_o salvation_n in_o which_o we_o may_v believe_v the_o spirit_n of_o god_n will_v not_o let_v she_o fall_v but_o in_o speculative_a truth_n her_o opinion_n be_v not_o taint_v nor_o her_o mind_n shake_v

incline_v to_o the_o more_o strict_a her_o very_a error_n if_o it_o be_v one_o deserve_v its_o own_o pardon_n her_o fancy_n be_v most_o divine_a and_o although_o she_o feed_v it_o very_o much_o with_o humane_a author_n delight_v in_o wit_n that_o be_v pure_a and_o fill_v with_o ingenious_a and_o artificial_a conceit_n poetry_n especial_o in_o the_o apprehension_n of_o which_o she_o be_v very_o
