by_o this_o fearful_a hoobub_n or_o whether_o we_o may_v secure_o follow_v that_o which_o we_o have_v hitherto_o practise_v without_o reformation_n of_o our_o life_n it_o be_v find_v by_o experience_n

so_o no_o doubt_n if_o they_o be_v not_o partyall_a in_o their_o search_n they_o shall_v find_v in_o every_o man_n in_o his_o particular_a examination_n of_o his_o own_o desert_n as_o also_o the_o

namely_o sufficient_a cause_n why_o i_o wretch_n shall_v be_v rouse_v up_o and_o pursue_v by_o this_o pernicious_a generation_n &_o if_o i_o shall_v flatter_v myself_o to_o deserve_v to_o be_v free_v from_o their_o tyranny_n if_o i_o look_v unto_o my_o disobedience_n to_o god_n i_o shall_v deceive_v myself_o and_o yet_o my_o imperfection_n perchance_o no_o far_o see_v in_o the_o world_n than_o of_o such_o as_o seem_v to_o stand_v in_o this_o dangerous_a time_n as_o man_n worthy_a for_o their_o honest_a zealous_a &_o religious_a behaviour_n in_o their_o own_o conceit_n to_o be_v justify_v by_o the_o mouth_n of_o all_o their_o neighbour_n and_o therefore_o sure_o it_o will_v hardly_o appear_v that_o we_o have_v deserve_v to_o be_v punish_v if_o we_o look_v no_o further_o than_o into_o other_o man_n &_o so_o let_v ourselves_o pass_v like_o the_o escape_v goat_n for_o if_o every_o one_o covet_v to_o find_v the_o cause_n in_o other_o and_o pray_v not_o into_o himself_o there_o will_v be_v never_o a_o free_a man_n yet_o all_o free_a for_o every_o man_n will_v condemn_v all_o but_o himself_o and_o yet_o though_o none_o will_v condemn_v himself_o he_o shall_v be_v condemn_v of_o

and_o this_o no_o doubt_n be_v the_o way_n to_o find_v the_o cause_n why_o god_n have_v call_v this_o nation_n against_o we_o other_o as_o jonah_n be_v find_v guilty_a by_o cast_v of_o lot_n for_o doubtless_o if_o we_o seem_v to_o seek_v the_o cause_n of_o this_o danger_n without_o ourselves_o we_o do_v wrong_v to_o the_o justice_n of_o god_n who_o be_v not_o as_o envious_a man_n that_o will_v

like_o the_o fig_n tree_n that_o christ_n curse_v but_o a_o tree_n that_o shall_v be_v hew_v down_o and_o cast_v into_o the_o fire_n so_o shall_v we_o stand_v in_o great_a danger_n in_o our_o
