you_o delay_v to_o accept_v the_o bless_a offer_n of_o grace_n which_o be_v a_o great_a thing_n 33._o you_o consider_v that_o it_o be_v god_n that_o be_v the_o giver_n and_o you_o that_o be_v the_o

that_o he_o shall_v wait_v on_o you_o he_o can_v live_v without_o your_o receive_n but_o you_o can_v live_v without_o his_o give_v the_o beggar_n must_v be_v glad_a of_o a_o alm_n at_o any_o time_n

yea_o you_o will_v do_v thus_o much_o by_o a_o very_a beast_n and_o yet_o will_v you_o delay_v when_o it_o be_v not_o another_o but_o yourselves_o that_o be_v sink_v and_o drown_v and_o within_o a_o

worse_o with_o he_o than_o you_o do_v with_o the_o devil_n himself_o if_o satan_n or_o his_o servant_n persuade_v you_o to_o sin_n you_o delay_v not_o so_o long_o but_o you_o be_v present_o at_o it_o you_o be_v ready_a to_o follow_v every_o tipple_a companion_n or_o gamester_n that_o put_v up_o the_o finger_n you_o be_v as_o ready_a to_o go_v as_o they_o to_o invite_v you_o the_o very_a sight_n
