is

feare
,
I
desire
New-yeares
gift
spent
upon
you
you
and
your
houshold

Lord
The
good
Lord
every
one
set
your
hearts
to
seeke
God
,
the
Lord
God
of
your
fathers
,
WIth
your
leave
Sir
;
if
I
should
not
be
too
troublesome
to
you
,
I
would
faine
speake
a
word
with
you
in
private
.
Sir
,
I
humbly
thank
you
for
your
kindnesse
,
and
pray
you
to
pardon
my
boldnesse
.
Sir
,
I
haue
lived
in
your
parish
,
vnder
your
publike
Ministery
a
good
while
,
and
yet
I
remaine
very
ignorant
;
therefore
am
I
come
vnto
you
,
for
some
private
instruction
.
Surely
Sir
,
(
if
I
may
be
beleeved
)
my
comming
is
to
no
such
end
;
but
to
learne
such
things
,
as
are
most
chiefly
and
necessarily
to
be
learned
.
I
will
Sir
,
&
it
is
this
by
your
favour
;
The
whole
Bible
is
large
,
it
containes
many
bookes
,
chapters
,
and
verses
,
and
in
each
of
them
are
comprehended
many
divine
truthes
:
All
these
are
worthy
of
my
learning
,
if
I
had
either
time
or
wit
to
attaine
the
vnderstanding
of
them
:
but
of
these
many
,
some
(
me
thinkes
)
should
bee
more
needfull
to
be
learned
than
others
,
are
they
not
I
pray
you
?
And
I
pray
you
(
Sir
)
may
not
these
chiefe
points
be
drawne
to
some
generall
heads
for
the
help
of
my
memory
,
which
is
but
weake
?
God
forbid
but
we
should
all
seeke
after
both
these
things
.
But
I
pray
you
(
good
Sir
)
first
declare
the
first
point
vnto
me
at
this
time
,
and
then
handle
the
second
at
some
other
opportunity
:
for
I
would
be
loth
to
hold
you
too
long
at
once
.
You
must
seeke
to
serve
God
while
you
live
:
That
you
must
serve
God
.
That
you
must
seek
to
serve
God
.
That
you
must
seek
to
serve
God
while
you
live
.
I
pray
you
then
,
good
Sir
,
follow
your
owwe
minde
and
order
:
let
that
point
alone
till
then
,
and
now
goe
on
to
shew
me
the
second
branch
,
which
is
,
that
I
pray
you
prove
vnto
me
,
that
I
must
seeke
to
serve
God
,
for
I
would
faine
binde
my
loose
heart
to
obedience
.
Now

pray
you

me

I
must

and
wherein
doth
it

O

I

confesse
to
Gods
glory
,
and
mine
owne
shame
,
that
I
was
ignorant
of
most

I
blesse

for
the
knowledge
of
them
thus

by

Sir
I
humbly
thanke
you
for

with
me
,
and
patience
towards
me

I
am
loth
to
be
over-bold
with
you
at
once
,
and
to
interrupt
your

too
long
:
I
hope
it
will
not
bee
offensiue
to
you
if
when
I
haue
suff●ciently
thought
vpon
these
your
instructions
touching
seeking
to
serue
God
,
(
which
is
the
first
thing
you
propounded
unto
me
:

at

I
repaire

you

for
you
(
Sir

I
praise
God

for
your
good
●nstructions
you
gaue
me

I
were
much
to
blame
,
if
I
should
forget
that
,
being
a
point
that
so
neerely
concerned
me
,
and
which
you
handled
so
largely
:
(
By
your
favour
)
it
was
this
,
in
this
world
.
But
(
good
Sir
)
you
mentioned
there
another
duty
like
unto
this
,
which
I
greatly
desire
you
would
instruct
mee
in
at
your
convenient
leisure
:
If
I
should
not
be
too
tedious
,
I
would
resort
unto
you
at
the
beginning
of
the
weeke
for
further
instruction
in
that
also
.
Yes
that
I
can
,
I
thanke
God
;
though
my
memory
be
bad
enough
:
It
was
this
,
I
take
it
Me
thinkes
it
is
a
necessary
duty
,
and
it
is
good
reason
I
should
practise
it
:
but
I
would
faine
have
some
good
arguments
,
to
binde
mee
to
the
practise
of
it
,
that
I
might
not
faile
to
doe
it
,

so
needfull

me
by
some
reason
also
.
God
was
able
to
keep
that
which
he
had
committed
unto
him
:
God
is
able
to
keepe
them
from
falling
:
Iude
v.
his
Fathers
hands
and
in
his
,
none
is
able
to
pluck
them
out
of
his
,
or
his
Fathers
hands
,
Iohn
.
they
shall
never
perish
that
God
shall
confirme
them
unto
the
end
,
He
that
had
begun
a
good
worke
in
them
,
will
performe
it
untill
the
day
of
Christ
:
Philipp
.
who
shall
stablish
them
and
keep
them
from
evill
,
God
would
preserve
him
to
his
heavenly
kingdome
,
their
faith
might
faile
,
Luke
fall
away
,
Matth
Which
is
the
first
It
is
not
in
him
that
willeth
,
nor
in
him
that
runneth
,
but
in
God
that
shewes
mercie
,
Rom:
Who
maketh
thee
to
differ
from
another
,
and
what
hast
thou
,
that
thou
hast
not
received
?
I
pray
you
giue
me
also
the
second
reason
,
why
God
thinks
it
not
best
,
to
leave
every
man
to
himselfe
,
to
persevere
or
fall
from
grace
.

bloud
without
it
there

Heb.
Sir
I
thanke
you
,
I
am
fully
satisfied
in
this
poynt
:
you
haue
sayd
enough
,
touching
the
first
point
of
seeking
to
be
saved
;
which
was
seeking
to
know
the
chiefe
points

The

branch
whereof
was
,
the
meanes
whereby
mans
salvation
is
effected
.
I
pray
you
now
proceede
to
the
second
point
,
which
is
How
may
it
be
proved
,
that
it
is
possible
for
us
to
bee
saved
,
if
wee
seeke
it
?
How
may
the
necessity
of

it
may
bee
,
that

in

event
be

may

How
may
it
be
