for_o you_o to_o hear_v of_o it_o from_o the_o minister_n mouth_n for_o when_o we_o lie_v low_a and_o submit_v and_o say_v god_n have_v walk_v contrary_a to_o we_o because_o we_o have_v walk_v contrary_a to_o he_o than_o the_o lord_n will_v quick_o turn_v thing_n about_o and_o be_v gracious_a to_o we_o that_o be_v one_o let_v the_o servant_n of_o god_n wherein_o they_o have_v miscarry_v be_v sensible_a of_o it_o humble_v and_o abase_v for_o it_o in_o god_n sight_n and_o second_o let_v our_o conversation_n for_o the_o time_n to_o come_v be_v according_a 2._o to_o the_o principle_n and_o way_n that_o we_o walk_v in_o the_o way_n beginning_n of_o this_o work_n when_o we_o be_v first_o engage_v in_o it_o in_o the_o beginning_n of_o our_o work_n what_o be_v our_o principle_n what_o be_v the_o thing_n we_o aim_v at_o then_o do_v we_o not_o then_o aim_v at_o the_o reformation_n of_o religion_n execution_n of_o justice_n enjoyment_n of_o liberty_n etc._n etc._n be_v not_o these_o the_o hinge_n that_o carry_v we_o and_o the_o way_n wherein_o we_o walk_v then_o what_o be_v they_o be_v they_o not_o the_o way_n of_o prayer_n and_o the_o way_n of_o christian_a love_n and_o a_o spirit_n of_o zeal_n be_v there_o not_o a_o spirit_n of_o prayer_n mighty_o pour_v out_o in_o every_o corner_n of_o the_o land_n so_o that_o you_o can_v come_v nowhere_o where_o there_o be_v any_o that_o fear_v god_n but_o frequent_o in_o public_a and_o private_a there_o be_v knock_v at_o heaven_n gate_n and_o wrestle_v with_o god_n and_o be_v there_o not_o a_o spirit_n of_o love_n among_o god_n people_n then_o we_o know_v not_o the_o division_n and_o animosity_n that_o be_v come_v in_o since_o every_o one_o help_v together_o and_o be_v there_o not_o also_o a_o spirit_n of_o activity_n be_v they_o not_o all_o vigorous_a and_o active_a lay_v out_o all_o their_o strength_n and_o all_o their_o talent_n when_o the_o enemy_n be_v not_o so_o active_a as_o now_o which_o diligence_n many_o have_v give_v over_o and_o the_o enemy_n have_v take_v up_o now_o let_v we_o endeavour_v that_o the_o same_o spirit_n may_v be_v revive_v among_o god_n people_n for_o the_o time_n to_o come_v let_v we_o remember_v our_o engagement_n and_o what_o the_o thing_n be_v we_o vow_v when_o we_o lift_v up_o our_o hand_n to_o the_o most_o high_a god_n and_o do_v our_o first_o work_n o_o that_o we_o can_v see_v a_o restore_n of_o these_o thing_n o_o that_o we_o can_v see_v a_o restore_n of_o the_o spirit_n of_o prayer_n again_o among_o the_o godly_a people_n of_o england_n and_o a_o spirit_n of_o love_n to_o unite_v one_o with_o another_o i_o be_o sure_a we_o see_v all_o our_o enemy_n unite_v against_o we_o o_o that_o they_o will_v now_o unite_v one_o with_o another_o though_o they_o can_v be_v all_o of_o one_o mind_n yet_o of_o one_o heart_n bear_v one_o another_o infirmity_n endeavour_v to_o heal_v all_o that_o be_v sinful_a in_o each_o other_o o_o that_o the_o spirit_n of_o zeal_n to_o promote_v the_o cause_n we_o be_v engage_v in_o may_v once_o more_o be_v find_v among_o we_o that_o we_o may_v with_o abishai_n and_o joab_n play_v the_o man_n and_o bestir_v ourselves_o and_o let_v god_n do_v what_o be_v good_a in_o his_o own_o eye_n let_v that_o be_v our_o second_o care_n remember_v our_o first_o principle_n and_o our_o first_o way_n and_o then_o three_o and_o last_o with_o lament_v and_o bemoan_v our_o fail_n and_o with_o 3._o our_o recover_v our_o first_o love_n and_o our_o first_o way_n let_v we_o god_n quiet_o leave_v it_o to_o god_n to_o do_v what_o he_o will_v o_o that_o god_n will_v once_o bring_v his_o servant_n to_o this_o pass_n never_o to_o look_v for_o any_o great_a good_a from_o man_n nor_o never_o to_o fear_v any_o great_a evil_a from_o man_n neither_o good_a from_o the_o best_a of_o man_n nor_o evil_a from_o the_o worst_a of_o man_n but_o to_o resolve_v that_o the_o lord_n can_v and_o will_v himself_o do_v his_o own_o work_n and_o be_v
