some_o observation_n upon_o the_o keep_v the_o thirty_o of_o january_n and_o twenty_o nine_o of_o may._n gal._n 4.10_o 11._o you_o observe_v day_n and_o month_n and_o time_n and_o year_n i_o be_o

the_o occasion_n of_o the_o day_n we_o say_v it_o have_v be_v appoint_v to_o be_v keep_v to_o mourn_v and_o humble_v the_o nation_n for_o the_o death_n of_o king_n charles_n i._o the_o thing_n have_v two_o several_a aspect_n for_o either_o it_o look_v upon_o the_o act_n of_o some_o man_n against_o the_o live_n or_o upon_o what_o other_o have_v do_v and_o do_v for_o the_o dead_a both_o which_o i_o take_v to_o be_v ill_o the_o one_o because_o to_o i_o it_o seem_v unlawful_a and_o the_o other_o as_o contrary_a to_o true_a religion_n i_o agree_v the_o fact_n be_v a_o horrid_a murder_n execrable_a as_o black_a as_o word_n can_v make_v it_o neither_o be_o ignorant_a how_o blood_n defile_v the_o land_n what_o a_o loud_a and_o cry_a sin_n be_v bloodguiltiness_n according_a to_o other_o several_a strong_a expression_n in_o holy_a scripture_n but_o when_o all_o be_v say_v after_o justice_n have_v be_v execute_v upon_o the_o guilty_a after_o 45_o year_n there_o ought_v to_o be_v a_o end_n it_o be_v better_a more_o according_a to_o charity_n and_o christian_a prudence_n to_o forget_v those_o thing_n than_o to_o renew_v the_o memory_n of_o they_o which_o continue_v division_n for_o we_o know_v it_o be_v too_o usual_a on_o that_o day_n to_o hear_v from_o the_o pulpit_n about_o those_o who_o sell_v he_o of_o other_o that_o bring_v he_o to_o the_o block_n and_o of_o those_o who_o cut_v off_o his_o head_n which_o do_v not_o restore_v to_o life_n nor_o remedy_n that_o which_o be_v past_a and_o only_o exasperate_v the_o spirit_n of_o men._n this_o be_v too_o like_o the_o italian_a custom_n to_o keep_v and_o show_v handkerchief_n dip_v in_o the_o blood_n of_o those_o that_o be_v kill_v or_o such_o like_a token_n only_o to_o infuse_v a_o desire_n of_o vengeance_n and_o to_o make_v irreconcilable_a enmity_n between_o family_n and_o party_n after_o act_n of_o oblivion_n for_o such_o thing_n be_v pass_v the_o memory_n thereof_o aught_o to_o be_v forget_v such_o thing_n do_v and_o must_v admit_v of_o a_o prescription_n neither_o can_v i_o find_v any_o sound_a reason_n why_o such_o a_o performance_n shall_v be_v entail_v upon_o we_o and_o our_o posterity_n it_o be_v enough_o once_o for_o all_o real_o and_o hearty_o to_o have_v do_v after_o that_o it_o degenerate_v into_o formality_n and_o bigoticism_n if_o i_o may_v so_o call_v it_o i_o know_v among_o we_o we_o have_v man_n zealous_a without_o knowledge_n guide_v by_o ignorance_n and_o as_o thorough-paced_n in_o their_o way_n as_o any_o papist_n be_v in_o he_o who_o know_v not_o how_o to_o keep_v within_o bound_n in_o many_o thing_n they_o do_v every_o one_o know_v the_o keep_n of_o this_o day_n be_v enact_v after_o a_o revolution_n amid_o heat_n and_o desire_n of_o revengefulness_n in_o some_o who_o look_v upon_o themselves_o as_o have_v be_v ill_o use_v by_o other_o the_o order_n for_o keep_v that_o day_n be_v bring_v forth_o with_o some_o other_o thing_n which_o by_o and_o by_o i_o shall_v have_v occasion_n to_o mention_v but_o because_o i_o do_v not_o intend_v to_o insist_v upon_o the_o civil_a but_o the_o religious_a part_n of_o keep_v that_o day_n which_o be_v the_o principal_a thing_n of_o it_o and_o as_o the_o take_v away_o of_o his_o life_n be_v a_o ill_a thing_n so_o by_o the_o grace_n of_o god_n i_o will_v show_v that_o every_o year_n keep_v a_o day_n on_o that_o account_n be_v as_o bad_a if_o not_o worse_o in_o as_o much_o as_o the_o honour_n and_o worship_n of_o god_n be_v therein_o concern_v what_o st._n paul_n say_v to_o the_o people_n of_o athens_n in_o general_a i_o may_v say_v to_o some_o among_o we_o in_o particular_a in_o this_o thing_n 17.22_o thing_n act_n 17.22_o you_o be_v too_o superstitious_a for_o i_o be_o satisfy_v we_o can_v without_o

such_o a_o part_n of_o gospel_n take_v out_o of_o a_o parable_n wherein_o our_o bless_a saviour_n foretell_v his_o death_n and_o this_o must_v be_v apply_v to_o a_o dead_a man._n nay_o in_o that_o service_n we_o pray_v to_o god_n he_o will_v be_v please_v to_o give_v we_o the_o grace_n to_o follow_v that_o man_n charity_n and_o patience_n sure_o in_o this_o we_o be_v too_o superstitious_a now_o

legend_n i_o be_o sure_a the_o best_a reform_a church_n beyond_o sea_n admit_v of_o no_o such_o thing_n let_v for_o brevity_n sake_n the_o testimony_n of_o one_o serve_v for_o all_o feriis_fw-la all_o

here_o i_o be_o somewhat_o at_o a_o stand_n to_o see_v such_o a_o name_n so_o much_o misapply_v but_o before_o i_o proceed_v i_o declare_v i_o charitable_o believe_v god_n show_v he_o mercy_n but_o withal_o it_o be_v not_o the_o manner_n but_o the_o cause_n of_o death_n make_v one_o a_o martyr_n i_o know_v several_a kind_n of_o persuasion_n have_v their_o witness_n and_o martyr_n but_o for_o
