that_o i_o can_v love_v my_o parent_n and_o friend_n those_o that_o do_v i_o good_a and_o have_v be_v afraid_a of_o displease_v they_o and_o of_o be_v correct_v by_o they_o yet_o have_v i_o have_v

oh_o lord_n have_v be_v my_o great_a folly_n and_o a_o very_a great_a cause_n of_o all_o my_o other_o sin_n that_o i_o have_v live_v most_o of_o all_o by_o sight_n and_o have_v little_o mind_v any_o

have_v prefer_v any_o foolish_a pleasure_n now_o in_o hand_n before_o the_o everlasting_a joy_n of_o heaven_n which_o be_v yet_o to_o come_v and_o because_o i_o can_v not_o see_v hell-torment_n nor_o hear_v the_o roar_n and_o out-cry_n of_o those_o who_o be_v damn_v for_o their_o sin_n therefore_o have_v i_o make_v so_o light_a of_o sin_v against_o thou_o but_o of_o this_o my_o folly_n and_o all_o my_o wickedness_n the_o fruit_n of_o it_o i_o desire_v to_o to_o be_v ashamed_a before_o thou_o confess_v that_o i_o have_v herein_o behave_v myself_o more_o like_o a_o bruit_n beast_n than_o a_o

with_o i_o according_o and_o may_v shut_v i_o out_o of_o those_o joy_n which_o i_o have_v so_o little_o love_v and_o seek_v after_o and_o may_v make_v i_o for_o ever_o feel_v those_o torment_n of_o which_o i_o have_v not_o be_v afraid_a but_o i_o humble_o beseech_v thou_o oh_o merciful_a father_n for_o thy_o son_n jesus_n sake_n take_v pity_n on_o i_o and_o free_o forgive_v i_o all_o my_o sin_n and_o save_v i_o from_o those_o misery_n which_o for_o my_o sin_n i_o have_v deserve_v and_o i_o beseech_v thou_o to_o give_v i_o thy_o holy_a spirit_n that_o i_o may_v thereby_o have_v my_o mind_n enlighten_v my_o heart_n soften_v and_o my_o nature_n so_o thorough_o renew_v and_o change_v that_o i_o may_v be_v take_v off_o from_o the_o love_n of_o all_o sin_n and_o may_v take_v such_o pleasure_n in_o thy_o service_n here_o that_o i_o may_v live_v with_o thou_o in_o happiness_n for_o ever_o hereafter_o since_o through_o thy_o great_a mercy_n i_o have_v be_v baptize_v in_o my_o
