memory_n turn_v over_o the_o whole_a past_a life_n of_o a_o sinner_n o_o say_v conscience_n in_o the_o day_n of_o distress_n do_v not_o thou_o commit_v such_o a_o sin_n at_o such_o a_o time_n in_o

upon_o the_o search_n now_o sinner_n be_v set_v upon_o search_v &_o try_v their_o way_n with_o the_o church_n let_v we_o search_v and_o try_v our_o way_n and_o turn_v again_o unto_o the_o lord_n 3._o

be_v very_o guilty_a concern_v our_o brother_n etc._n etc._n and_o ah_o sinner_n have_v not_o your_o conscience_n better_o be_v plain_a with_o you_o now_o than_o be_v plain_a with_o you_o in_o hell_n o_o what_o plain_a sermon_n do_v conscience_n preach_v to_o the_o damn_a you_o will_v not_o many_o of_o you_o bear_v plain_a preach_v now_o but_o o_o remember_v what_o a_o plain_a preacher_n conscience_n will_v be_v when_o awaken_v in_o a_o day_n of_o affliction_n now_o we_o come_v to_o the_o improvement_n of_o what_o have_v be_v say_v upon_o all_o the_o doctrinal_a part_n application_n
