of_o find_v more_o argument_n still_o to_o put_v off_o further_o till_o at_o last_o it_o come_v to_o a_o settle_a course_n of_o neglect_n and_o then_o will_v you_o slight_v all_o thought_n and_o

no_o time_n needful_a for_o real_a religion_n but_o because_o you_o allow_v so_o much_o time_n for_o compliment_n with_o the_o world_n you_o have_v no_o time_n to_o be_v in_o earnest_n with_o god_n the_o very_a same_o excuse_n or_o those_o very_a like_o they_o will_v be_v hindrance_n as_o long_o as_o you_o live_v for_o other_o excuse_n will_v succeed_v on_o as_o good_a and_o it_o may_v be_v on_o better_a reason_n as_o particular_o you_o will_v think_v so_o much_o time_n have_v be_v spend_v in_o these_o visit_n that_o now_o all_o be_v little_a enough_o to_o recover_v your_o worldly_a business_n that_o you_o be_v cast_v behind_o in_o and_o when_o that_o be_v recover_v than_o you_o will_v set_v about_o a_o religious_a life_n but_o before_o that_o come_v something_o else_o use_v to_o intervene_v to_o such_o excuser_n and_o they_o seldom_o come_v to_o the_o end_n of_o the_o line_n so_o as_o to_o have_v no_o new_a excuse_n but_o as_o delay_n breed_v this_o disadvantage_n so_o pray_v consider_v it_o be_v only_o the_o token_n of_o a_o unwilling_a mind_n and_o you_o be_v utter_o without_o true_a excuse_n both_o to_o god_n and_o your_o own_o conscience_n for_o these_o visitant_n who_o give_v the_o first_o seem_v ground_n of_o excuse_n do_v not_o use_v to_o accompany_v you_o to_o your_o chamber_n and_o observe_v your_o bed_n so_o that_o in_o the_o great_a of_o your_o strait_n if_o you_o have_v a_o willing_a mind_n you_o may_v begin_v to_o pray_v together_o and_o the_o bed_n side_n be_v no_o unfit_a altar_n for_o such_o a_o morning_n and_o evening_n sacrifice_n 2._o the_o
