upon_o a_o willing_a covenant-breaker_n the_o lord_n fasten_v these_o meditation_n and_o soul-awaking_a consideration_n upon_o your_o heart_n the_o lord_n give_v you_o grace_n to_o keep_v close_o to_o the_o covenant_n and_o in_o keep_v of_o it_o to_o keep_v god_n and_o a_o good_a conscience_n with_o be_v both_o lose_v by_o covenant-breaking_n there_o be_v six_o thing_n which_o i_o shall_v persuade_v you_o unto_o in_o pursuance_n of_o your_o covenant_n covenant_n 1._o to_o be_v humble_v for_o your_o own_o sin_n and_o for_o the_o sin_n of_o the_o kingdom_n and_o more_o especial_o because_o we_o have_v not_o as_o we_o ought_v value_v the_o inestimable_a benefit_n of_o the_o gospel_n that_o we_o have_v not_o labour_v to_o receive_v christ_n in_o our_o heart_n nor_o to_o walk_v worthy_a of_o he_o in_o our_o life_n which_o be_v the_o cause_n of_o other_o sin_n and_o transgression_n so_o much_o abound_v among_o we_o gospel-sin_n be_v great_a than_o legall-sin_n and_o will_v bring_v gospel-curse_n which_o be_v great_a than_o legall-curse_n and_o therefore_o let_v we_o be_v humble_v according_a to_o our_o covenant_n for_o all_o our_o gospel-abomination_n 2._o you_o must_v

willing_o after_o we_o have_v swear_v not_o to_o sin_v be_v not_o only_o to_o sin_n against_o a_o commandment_n as_o i_o have_v say_v but_o to_o sin_n against_o a_o oath_n which_o be_v a_o double_a iniquity_n and_o will_v procure_v a_o double_a damnation_n and_o he_o that_o take_v a_o covenant_n to_o reform_v and_o yet_o continue_v unreformed_a his_o covenant_n will_v be_v unto_o he_o as_o the_o bitter_a water_n of_o jealousy_n be_v to_o the_o woman_n guilty_a of_o adultery_n which_o make_v her_o belly_n to_o swell_v and_o thigh_n to_o rot_v etc._n etc._n numb._n 5._o 22._o 3_o you_o must_v

etc._n etc._n o_o bless_a unity_n how_o come_v it_o to_o pass_v that_o thou_o be_v so_o much_o slight_v and_o contemn_v be_v not_o unity_n one_o of_o the_o chief_a part_n of_o christ_n prayer_n unto_o his_o father_n when_o he_o be_v here_o upon_o earth_n john_n 17._o 11._o be_v not_o unity_n among_o christian_n one_o of_o the_o strong_a argument_n to_o persuade_v the_o world_n to_o believe_v in_o

unity_n the_o happiness_n of_o heaven_n be_v it_o not_o the_o happiness_n of_o a_o city_n to_o be_v at_o unity_n within_o itself_o be_v it_o not_o a_o good_a and_o pleasant_a thing_n for_o brethren_n to_o dwell_v together_o in_o unity_n how_o come_v it_o then_o to_o pass_v that_o this_o part_n of_o the_o covenant_n be_v so_o much_o forget_v the_o lord_n mind_n you_o of_o it_o this_o day_n and_o
