door_n to_o come_v to_o that_o place_n to_o sin_n nothing_o but_o sin_n and_o sinful_a compliance_n can_v i_o think_v it_o to_o be_v and_o this_o be_v much_o set_v upon_o my_o heart_n that_o if_o i_o

and_o aggravate_v my_o perplexity_n i_o call_v in_o a_o godly_a kinswoman_n and_o show_v she_o of_o my_o trouble_n we_o both_o consider_v whether_o it_o may_v not_o be_v a_o temptation_n but_o can_v not_o find_v it_o so_o she_o say_v if_o it_o be_v a_o sin_n in_o i_o my_o stay_n from_o it_o will_v occasion_v more_o that_o the_o lord_n day_n will_v be_v profane_v by_o the_o wrath_n and_o bitter_a

forbear_v or_o whether_o it_o be_v not_o sinful_a in_o i_o to_o hear_v it_o or_o whether_o i_o may_v sometime_o as_o seldom_o as_o i_o can_v to_o avoid_v the_o penalty_n hear_v or_o 2._o whether_o upon_o these_o account_n of_o my_o forbearance_n i_o may_v comfortable_o suffer_v what_o may_v be_v inflict_v and_o expect_v support_v or_o 3._o if_o you_o grant_v the_o hear_n whether_o may_v it_o

or_o censure_v they_o for_o what_o they_o do_v and_o i_o shall_v never_o have_v put_v the_o question_n upon_o this_o but_o upon_o 2._o account_n 1._o because_o divers_a say_v it_o be_v sin_v not_o to_o go_v and_o then_o my_o case_n be_v sad_a that_o must_v sin_v either_o way_n 2._o the_o other_o reason_n which_o be_v first_o in_o my_o thought_n before_o i_o ever_o hear_v or_o think_v any_o will_v have_v hold_v it_o a_o duty_n to_o hear_v whether_o i_o can_v comfortable_o suffer_v in_o such_o a_o cause_n thus_o i_o must_v say_v i_o have_v not_o be_v without_o many_o serious_a thought_n about_o it_o sin_n i_o will_v avoid_v prayer_n and_o tear_n and_o not_o trouble_v i_o find_v in_o my_o spirit_n upon_o forbearance_n though_o i_o diligent_o observe_v and_o i_o have_v such_o a_o
