hope_v of_o future_a happiness_n this_o very_a promise_n of_o long_a day_n may_v have_v bring_v thou_o to_o obedience_n but_o alas_o this_o be_v the_o low_a of_o my_o thought_n the_o least_o of_o my_o

there_o i_o play_v the_o rioter_n till_o i_o become_v a_o miserable_a beggar_n then_o and_o never_o till_o then_o do_v i_o consider_v what_o i_o have_v do_v for_o by_o this_o time_n have_v i_o forget_v my_o father_n house_n so_o long_o and_o so_o sweet_o have_v i_o be_v ●ulled_v in_o the_o lap_v of_o sin_n but_o have_v now_o reap_v the_o fruit_n of_o my_o disobedience_n i_o begin_v to_o have_v a_o remorse_n of_o conscience_n and_o to_o have_v some_o small_a sensible_a feeling_n of_o repentance_n but_o never_o till_o such_o time_n as_o i_o have_v feed_v free_o of_o those_o empty_a

i_o must_v to_o my_o shame_n confess_v it_o that_o such_o be_v my_o disobedience_n and_o so_o crooked_a my_o will_n amid_o my_o great_a necessity_n that_o this_o my_o aversion_n from_o evil_a and_o

yet_o have_v my_o want_n bring_v i_o to_o this_o natural_a consideration_n as_o to_o think_v with_o myself_o what_o parent_n be_v what_o benefit_n i_o have_v receive_v from_o they_o how_o they_o have_v do_v for_o i_o what_o i_o can_v never_o possible_o do_v for_o they_o how_o creature_n endue_v only_o with_o sense_n by_o a_o natural_a instinct_n bear_v that_o tender_a love_n and_o obedience_n

lust_n of_o my_o flesh_n hang_v such_o heavy_a poise_v on_o the_o wing_n of_o my_o obedience_n as_o they_o keep_v i_o from_o mount_a desire_v rather_o to_o die_v then_o whole_o to_o leave_v my_o
