at_o that_o time_n i_o love_v nothing_o more_o than_o god_n and_o in_o my_o esteem_n and_o choice_n i_o prefer_v the_o spiritual_a divine_a and_o heavenly_a life_n imcomparable_o before_o the_o

i_o shall_v glad_o retire_v to_o privacy_n and_o solitude_n my_o temporal_a estate_n be_v mean_a and_o low_a yet_o i_o be_o content_v with_o it_o and_o humble_o bless_v god_n for_o what_o i_o have_v i_o live_v in_o as_o narrow_a a_o compass_n for_o expense_n as_o i_o can_v that_o i_o may_v have_v something_o to_o give_v to_o the_o poor_a and_o to_o be_v helpful_a to_o those_o that_o be_v in_o need_n according_a to_o my_o ability_n and_o as_o god_n have_v require_v of_o we_o to_o love_n mercy_n and_o our_o saviour_n have_v say_v it_o be_v a_o more_o bless_a thing_n to_o give_v than_o to_o

that_o be_v in_o i_o to_o die_v be_v not_o that_o i_o may_v enjoy_v the_o pleasure_n of_o sense_n or_o any_o gratification_n of_o the_o animal_n life_n i_o feel_v in_o myself_o a_o burden_n of_o sin_n and_o corruption_n much_o sensuality_n earthliness_n selfishness_n nevertheless_o i_o judge_v there_o be_v that_o predominancy_n of_o love_n to_o god_n and_o holiness_n which_o i_o hope_n be_v

state_n of_o immutable_a hatred_n of_o he_o and_o i_o apprehend_v that_o the_o most_o horrid_a and_o hellish_a state_n of_o hell_n itself_o lie_v in_o its_o everlasting_a and_o utmost_a enmity_n against_o

grace_n i_o will_v not_o doubt_v of_o a_o good_a issue_n while_o i_o be_o find_v in_o the_o way_n of_o duty_n to_o they_o who_o by_o patient_a continuance_n in_o welldoing_a seek_v for_o glory_n and_o

or_o bodily_a rest._n also_o it_o give_v i_o the_o advantage_n of_o exercise_v a_o resolve_v willing_a self-resignation_n to_o god_n in_o this_o dispensation_n which_o be_v harsh_a to_o flesh_n and_o

by_o constant_a love_n though_o he_o do_v fore_o bruise_v i_o if_o i_o continue_v in_o the_o exercise_n of_o these_o grace_n they_o will_v give_v i_o a_o good_a proof_n that_o the_o heavenly_a
