earnest_o to_o god_n in_o your_o heart_n that_o god_n will_v give_v he_o grace_v right_o to_o understand_v and_o well_o to_o utter_v that_o which_o be_v needful_a to_o be_v preach_v do_v not_o

give_v heed_n to_o his_o word_n until_o he_o have_v make_v a_o end_n for_o it_o be_v a_o dishonour_n unto_o god_n if_o you_o neglect_v to_o hear_v his_o messenger_n take_v heed_n that_o you_o do_v not_o give_v any_o occasion_n to_o other_o folk_n to_o turn_v their_o mind_n from_o serve_v god_n to_o gaze_v upon_o you_o or_o to_o look_v upon_o any_o thing_n which_o you_o bring_v into_o the_o

measurable_o at_o sondaie_n at_o dinner_n that_o you_o may_v be_v the_o fit_a to_o serve_v god_n also_o in_o the_o afternoon_n many_o come_v sieldome_o in_o the_o afternoon_n because_o they_o can_v

not_o come_v to_o church_n other_o will_v be_v ready_a to_o follow_v your_o example_n for_o they_o will_v think_v they_o may_v as_o well_o loose_a their_o prayer_n as_o you_o the_o better_a day_n the_o better_a deed_n therefore_o love_v to_o do_v any_o work_n of_o charity_n to_o such_o as_o need_v upon_o the_o sabbath_n day_n to_o relieve_v the_o poor_a to_o visit_v the_o sick_a to_o counsel_v

such_o a_o reverend_a opinion_n of_o i_o by_o reason_n of_o my_o earnest_a plainness_n in_o preach_v that_o they_o be_v very_o careful_a lest_o i_o shall_v see_v any_o fault_n in_o their_o behaviour_n
