a_o christian_a always_o think_v of_o his_o own_o misery_n &_o never_o of_o christ_n mercy_n he_o will_v despair_v if_o he_o always_o think_v of_o christ_n mercy_n &_o never_o of_o his_o own_o

scale_n we_o take_v out_o of_o that_o which_o be_v in_o the_o heavy_a and_o put_v it_o to_o that_o which_o be_v in_o the_o light_a until_o there_o be_v no_o difference_n between_o they_o so_o here_o we_o must_v weigh_v these_o matter_n well_o that_o we_o may_v be_v just_a weight_n neither_o too_o heavy_a for_o our_o own_o misery_n nor_o too_o light_a for_o god_n mercy_n david_n say_v hide_v i_o

of_o thy_o judgement_n by_o fear_n as_o god_n have_v two_o wing_n the_o one_o of_o mercy_n the_o other_o of_o justice_n so_o we_o must_v have_v two_o wing_n one_o of_o joy_n for_o god_n and_o the_o other_o of_o despair_n for_o ourselves_o and_o as_o the_o quail_n fly_v over_o the_o sea_n see_v herself_o not_o able_a to_o hold_v out_o spread_v out_o her_o wing_n &_o fall_v into_o the_o sea_n and_o lay_v one_o of_o her_o wing_n upon_o the_o water_n and_z lifteth_z up_o the_o other_o wing_n unto_o heaven_n so_o we_o must_v fly_v with_o the_o wing_n of_o joy_n from_o joy_n in_o god_n with_o
