law_n and_o custom_n so_o that_o consider_v all_o i_o can_v well_o imagine_v what_o shall_v move_v a_o good_a and_o well-resolved_a man_n to_o be_v afraid_a of_o die_v for_o when_o i_o be_o very_o

beckon_v to_o i_o from_o the_o further_a shore_n to_o come_v over_o and_o receive_v those_o bless_a recompense_n why_o shall_v i_o thus_o stand_v shiver_v on_o the_o bank_n like_o a_o naked_a

city_n and_o how_o can_v we_o account_v any_o work_n hard_a of_o which_o heaven_n be_v to_o be_v the_o wage_n methinks_v this_o shall_v be_v enough_o to_o infuse_v new_a life_n and_o spirit_n into_o the_o most_o crest-fal'n_a soul_n for_o how_o much_o pain_n do_v we_o ordinary_o take_v upon_o far_o less_o hope_n in_o hope_n of_o a_o little_a transitory_a wealth_n which_o we_o know_v we_o shall_v

and_o thoughtfulness_n with_o eager_a and_o passionate_a prosecution_n we_o toil_v and_o weary_a out_o ourselves_o and_o make_v our_o life_n a_o constant_a drudgery_n and_o shall_v we_o flag_n when_o heaven_n be_v the_o object_n of_o our_o prosecution_n when_o therefore_o we_o find_v our_o endeavour_n in_o religion_n begin_v to_o droop_v and_o flag_n let_v we_o lift_v up_o our_o eye_n to_o that_o crown_n of_o glory_n and_o if_o we_o be_v capable_a of_o be_v move_v by_o object_n of_o the_o great_a value_n that_o must_v infuse_v new_a vigour_n into_o we_o and_o make_v we_o all_o life_n and_o

bless_a be_v you_o my_o bitter_a agony_n and_o sharp_a conflict_n bless_v be_v you_o my_o importunate_a prayer_n and_o well-spent_a tear_n for_o now_o i_o be_o full_o repay_v for_o you_o all_o and_o

hold_v out_o my_o faith_n and_o patience_n yet_o a_o little_a long_o and_o your_o work_n will_v soon_o be_v at_o a_o end_n and_o after_o a_o few_o laborious_a week_n day_n you_o shall_v keep_v a_o

in_o justice_n both_o to_o she_o and_o you_o not_o to_o bury_v they_o with_o she_o but_o so_o far_o as_o in_o i_o lie_v to_o embalm_v her_o memory_n with_o they_o and_o to_o represent_v they_o as_o a_o excellent_a pattern_n to_o you_o her_o surviver_n and_o what_o i_o shall_v say_v of_o she_o i_o have_v under_o the_o hand_n of_o her_o reverend_a pastor_n who_o intimate_o know_v she_o while_o she_o be_v live_v and_o who_o attend_v she_o through_o her_o sickness_n to_o the_o gate_n of_o eternity_n she_o have_v a_o mind_n fair_o prepare_v for_o the_o eternal_a exercise_n and_o joy_n of_o saint_n and_o angel_n which_o be_v to_o adore_v and_o praise_v the_o fountain_n of_o their_o be_v and_o happiness_n as_o appear_v by_o the_o constancy_n of_o her_o devotion_n both_o in_o private_a and_o public_a in_o private_a her_o devotion_n be_v always_o the_o first_o business_n in_o the_o morning_n near_o two_o hour_n of_o which_o she_o continual_o spend_v in_o prayer_n and_o read_v and_o meditation_n and_o how_o late_o soever_o she_o happen_v to_o be_v detain_v at_o night_n whether_o by_o business_n or_o innocent_a diversion_n she_o always_o separate_v at_o least_o one_o hour_n from_o her_o rest_n for_o the_o same_o divine_a and_o heavenly_a exercise_n after_o which_o she_o constant_o attend_v the_o family_n devotion_n not_o suffer_v one_o duty_n to_o interfere_v with_o another_o and_o then_o as_o for_o her_o attendance_n upon_o the_o public_a prayer_n of_o the_o church_n it_o be_v so_o remarkable_o constant_a that_o whenever_o she_o absent_v from_o they_o one_o may_v certain_o conclude_v either_o that_o she_o be_v detain_v by_o sickness_n or_o some_o very_a extraordinary_a occasion_n yea_o so_o very_o exact_a and_o punctual_a be_v she_o in_o this_o matter_n that_o she_o always_o take_v care_n so_o to_o contrive_v her_o business_n and_o diversion_n as_o that_o they_o may_v comport_v with_o her_o attendance_n on_o the_o public_a service_n so_o as_o that_o when_o ever_o it_o do_v so_o happen_v as_o that_o she_o can_v not_o be_v present_a either_o morning_n or_o evening_n in_o her_o own_o parish_n church_n she_o may_v be_v sure_a not_o to_o miss_v of_o it_o in_o some_o other_o and_o as_o for_o the_o holy_a sacrament_n that_o best_a repast_n and_o banquet_n of_o devout_a soul_n she_o be_v a_o constant_a guest_n at_o it_o once_o a_o month_n at_o least_o and_o as_o for_o the_o most_o part_n often_o as_o she_o find_v opportunity_n her_o hunger_n and_o thirst_n after_o that_o righteousness_n therein_o seal_v and_o convey_v be_v too_o eager_a to_o be_v satisfy_v with_o the_o common_a stint_n of_o twice_o or_o thrice_o a_o year_n participation_n of_o it_o thus_o do_v this_o divine_a and_o heavenly_a soul_n spend_v the_o much_o great_a part_n of_o her_o life_n in_o heaven_n and_o this_o in_o so_o great_a a_o plenty_n of_o worldly_a enjoyment_n as_o be_v sufficient_a to_o have_v corrupt_v a_o ordinary_a piety_n and_o to_o have_v vitiate_a its_o relish_n of_o the_o enjoyment_n of_o the_o world_n to_o come_v and_o which_o be_v very_o remarkable_a this_o severe_a and_o abstract_a kind_n of_o life_n which_o she_o lead_v and_o which_o in_o other_o be_v too_o common_o attend_v with_o some_o very_a bad_a consequent_n with_o moroseness_n and_o peevishness_n pride_n and_o censoriousness_n be_v so_o far_o from_o produce_v these_o bad_a
