here_o upon_o earth_n for_o a_o thousand_o year_n let_v it_o be_v the_o whole_a bent_n and_o study_v of_o my_o soul_n to_o make_v sure_a of_o my_o personal_a reign_n with_o thou_o in_o heaven_n to_o all_o eternity_n xvi_o bless_a be_v thy_o name_n o_o god_n who_o have_v make_v a_o good_a use_n even_o of_o hell_n itself_o how_o many_o atheous_n heart_n have_v be_v convince_v by_o the_o very_a operation_n of_o devil_n those_o which_o will_v with_o the_o stupid_a saducee_v persuade_v themselves_o there_o be_v no_o spirit_n yet_o when_o they_o have_v sensible_o find_v the_o marvellous_a effect_n wrought_v even_o by_o the_o base_a instrument_n of_o satan_n they_o have_v be_v force_v to_o confess_v doubtless_o there_o be_v a_o god_n that_o rule_v the_o world_n for_o so_o great_a power_n of_o evil_a spirit_n must_v necessary_o evince_v the_o great_a power_n of_o good_a it_o be_v of_o thy_o wise_a and_o holy_a dispensation_n that_o thy_o good_a angel_n do_v not_o so_o frequent_o exhibit_v themselves_o and_o give_v so_o visible_a demonstration_n of_o their_o presence_n to_o thy_o saint_n as_o the_o evil_a angel_n do_v to_o their_o vassal_n though_o they_o be_v ever_o as_o present_v and_o more_o powerful_a what_o need_v they_o when_o thou_o so_o mighty_o over-rule_v those_o malignant_a spirit_n that_o thou_o force_v from_o they_o thou_o own_o glory_n and_o advantage_n to_o thy_o choose_a lord_n how_o much_o more_o shall_v all_o thy_o other_o creature_n serve_v to_o thy_o praise_n when_o thy_o very_a hellish_a enemy_n shall_v proclaim_v thy_o justice_n goodness_n omnipotence_n xvii_o speculation_n o_o lord_n be_v not_o more_o easy_a than_o practice_n be_v difficult_a how_o many_o have_v we_o know_v who_o as_o it_o be_v say_v of_o the_o philosopher_n of_o old_a know_v how_o to_o speak_v well_o but_o live_v ill_a how_o many_o have_v write_v book_n of_o chemistry_n and_o give_v very_o confident_a direction_n for_o the_o find_v out_o of_o that_o precious_a stone_n of_o the_o philosopher_n but_o how_o many_o have_v indeed_o make_v gold_n practice_n be_v that_o which_o thou_o o_o god_n chief_o require_v and_o respect_v who_o have_v say_v if_o

thy_o will_n but_o above_o all_o do_v thou_o rectify_v my_o affection_n guide_v my_o foot_n into_o the_o way_n 112._o of_o thy_o commandment_n apply_v my_o heart_n to_o fulfil_v thy_o statute_n

those_o man_n who_o know_v they_o must_v short_o die_v yet_o dare_v do_v those_o thing_n which_o will_v draw_v upon_o they_o eternity_n of_o torment_n what_o shall_v i_o say_v but_o the_o fool_n have_v say_v in_o his_o heart_n there_o be_v no_o god_n sure_o man_n love_v themselves_o well_o enough_o and_o will_v be_v loath_a to_o do_v that_o which_o will_v procure_v they_o a_o inevitable_a misery_n and_o pain_n do_v they_o therefore_o believe_v there_o be_v another_o world_n and_o that_o they_o must_v be_v call_v to_o a_o strict_a reckon_n for_o all_o their_o action_n and_o be_v doom_v to_o a_o everlasting_a death_n for_o their_o wicked_a deed_n they_o dare_v not_o they_o can_v not_o do_v those_o act_n which_o shall_v make_v they_o eternal_o miserable_a let_v i_o say_v to_o the_o most_o desperate_a ruffian_n there_o be_v poison_n in_o this_o cup_n drink_v this_o draught_n and_o thou_o die_v he_o will_v have_v the_o wit_n to_o keep_v his_o lip_n close_o and_o cast_v the_o potion_n to_o the_o ground_n be_v it_o not_o for_o their_o infidelity_n so_o will_v man_n do_v to_o the_o most_o plausible_a but_o deadly_a offer_v of_o sin_n o_o lord_n since_o i_o know_v thy_o righteous_a judgement_n teach_v i_o to_o tremble_v at_o they_o restrain_v thou_o my_o foot_n from_o every_o evil_a way_n and_o teach_v i_o so_o to_o walk_v as_o one_o that_o look_v every_o hour_n to_o appear_v before_o thy_o just_a and_o dreadful_a tribunal_n xix_o the_o long_a i_o live_v o_o my_o god_n the_o more_o do_v i_o wonder_v at_o all_o the_o work_n of_o thy_o hand_n i_o see_v such_o admirable_a artifice_n in_o the_o very_a least_o and_o most_o despicable_a of_o all_o thy_o creature_n as_o do_v every_o day_n more_o and_o more_o astonish_v my_o observation_n i_o need_v not_o look_v so_o far_o as_o heaven_n for_o matter_n of_o marvel_n though_o therein_o thou_o be_v infinite_o glorious_a while_o i_o have_v but_o a_o spider_n in_o my_o window_n or_o a_o bee_n in_o my_o garden_n or_o a_o worm_n under_o my_o foot_n every_o one_o of_o these_o overcome_v i_o with_o a_o just_a amazement_n yet_o can_v i_o see_v no_o more_o than_o their_o very_a outside_n their_o inward_a form_n which_o give_v they_o their_o be_v and_o operation_n i_o can_v pierce_v into_o the_o less_o i_o can_v know_v o_o lord_n the_o more_o let_v i_o wonder_v and_o the_o less_o i_o can_v satisfy_v myself_o with_o marvail_v at_o thy_o work_n the_o more_o let_v i_o adore_v the_o majesty_n and_o omnipotence_n of_o thou_o that_o wrought_v they_o xx_o alas_o my_o lord_n god_n what_o poor_a weak_a imperfect_a service_n be_v those_o even_o at_o the_o best_a that_o i_o can_v present_v thou_o withal_o how_o lean_a lame_a and_o blemish_a sacrifice_n do_v i_o bring_v to_o thy_o altar_n i_o know_v thou_o be_v worthy_a of_o more_o than_o my_o soul_n be_v capable_a to_o perform_v and_o fain_o will_v i_o tender_v thou_o the_o best_a of_o thy_o own_o but_o what_o i_o will_v that_o i_o do_v not_o yea_o 15._o can_v do_v sure_o have_v i_o not_o to_o do_v with_o a_o infinite_a mercy_n i_o may_v just_o look_v to_o be_v punish_v for_o my_o very_a obedience_n but_o now_o lord_n my_o impotence_n redound_v to_o the_o praise_n of_o thy_o goodness_n for_o be_v i_o more_o answerable_a to_o thy_o justice_n the_o glory_n of_o thy_o mercy_n will_v be_v so_o much_o less_o eminent_a in_o my_o remission_n and_o acceptance_n here_o i_o be_o before_o thou_o to_o await_v thy_o good_a pleasure_n thou_o know_v whether_o it_o be_v better_a to_o give_v i_o more_o ability_n or_o to_o accept_v of_o that_o poor_a ability_n thou_o have_v give_v i_o but_o since_o when_o thou_o have_v give_v i_o most_o i_o shall_v still_o and_o ever_o stand_v in_o need_n of_o thy_o forgiveness_n let_v my_o humble_a suit_n be_v to_o thou_o always_o rather_o for_o pardon_n of_o my_o defect_n then_o for_o a_o supply_n of_o thy_o grace_n xxi_o o_o my_o god_n how_o do_v i_o see_v many_o profane_a and_o careless_a soul_n spend_v their_o time_n in_o jollity_n and_o pleasure_n the_o harp_n and_o 12._o the_o viol_n the_o tabret_n and_o the_o pipe_n and_o wine_n be_v in_o their_o feast_n while_o i_o that_o desire_v to_o walk_v close_o with_o thou_o in_o all_o conscionable_a obedience_n droop_v and_o languish_v under_o a_o dull_a heaviness_n and_o heartless_a dejection_n i_o be_o sure_a i_o have_v a_o thousand_o time_n more_o cause_n of_o joy_n and_o cheerfulness_n than_o the_o merry_a of_o all_o those_o wild_a and_o jovial_a spirit_n they_o have_v a_o world_n to_o play_v withal_o but_o i_o have_v a_o god_n to_o rejoice_v in_o their_o sport_n be_v trivial_a and_o momenta●ie_a my_o joy_n be_v serious_a and_o everlasting_a one_o dram_n of_o my_o mirth_n be_v worth_a a_o pound_n of_o they_o but_o i_o confess_v o_o lord_n how_o much_o i_o be_o want_v to_o myself_o in_o not_o stir_v up_o this_o holy_a fire_n of_o spiritual_a joy_n but_o suffer_v it_o to_o lie_v rake_v up_o under_o the_o dead_a ash_n of_o a_o
