judge_n do_v inform_v we_o be_v to_o prevent_v insurrection_n by_o meet_v together_o under_o a_o pretence_n of_o religious_a exercise_n but_o as_o unto_o these_o people_n they_o can_v not_o be_v

five_o i_o mind_v this_o unto_o they_o that_o the_o hand_n of_o god_n have_v be_v see_v in_o a_o extraordinary_a manner_n by_o they_o that_o have_v of_o late_o be_v transport_v therefore_o do_v

i_o can_v never_o agree_v unto_o it_o the_o officer_n come_v again_o yet_o we_o be_v not_o agree_v and_o go_v and_o come_v again_o and_o say_v my_o lord_n have_v send_v i_o for_o to_o lock_v you_o up_o at_o this_o many_o of_o the_o jury_n be_v trouble_v and_o how_o to_o help_v we_o can_v not_o tell_v but_o at_o last_o we_o do_v begin_v to_o consider_v how_o far_o we_o can_v agree_v together_o and_o about_o four_o of_o we_o come_v to_o this_o conclusion_n that_o we_o can_v carry_v they_o in_o thus_o that_o they_o be_v at_o the_o bull_n and_o mouth_n and_o upon_o a_o religious_a account_n and_o no_o further_o and_o no_o more_o have_v we_o either_o from_o the_o witness_n or_o themselves_o but_o here_o all_o party_n be_v not_o agree_v and_o about_o this_o time_n the_o officer_n come_v

with_o what_o the_o judge_n tell_v we_o that_o we_o have_v nothing_o to_o do_v but_o to_o find_v whether_o they_o be_v there_o or_o no_o and_o also_o with_o the_o officer_n often_o come_v unto_o we_o

our_o heart_n do_v not_o smite_v we_o when_o we_o do_v those_o thing_n that_o be_v good_a and_o right_n in_o the_o sight_n of_o god_n and_o at_o that_o very_a time_n in_o which_o these_o thing_n be_v

to_o have_v have_v to_o say_v those_o thing_n which_o be_v real_o my_o judgement_n before_o i_o shall_v not_o make_v it_o my_o business_n to_o say_v any_o thing_n of_o the_o fault_n of_o other_o

what_o i_o have_v to_o

say_v into_o these_o follow_a particular_n first_o as_o unto_o the_o frame_n of_o my_o own_o heart_n before_o i_o be_v on_o the_o jury_n and_o that_o be_v thus_o i_o be_v too_o too_o confident_a in_o

shall_v not_o be_v a_o instrument_n to_o bring_v they_o in_o guilty_a of_o it_o and_o here_o let_v i_o tell_v thou_o too_o much_o of_o my_o own_o strength_n do_v appear_v and_o herein_o i_o be_v too_o much_o like_o unto_o peter_n when_o he_o say_v that_o though_o all_o man_n forsake_v christ_n yet_o he_o will_v not_o but_o when_o he_o come_v unto_o the_o trial_n he_o become_v another_o man_n from_o hence_o learn_v that_o a_o man_n own_o strength_n be_v his_o exceed_a weakness_n and_o a_o man_n own_o confidence_n be_v great_a foolishness_n be_v therefore_o put_v in_o mind_n always_o to_o stay_v

for_o if_o flood_n of_o temptation_n arise_v against_o he_o yet_o he_o have_v a_o rock_n under_o he_o and_o from_o hence_o david_n confidence_n do_v proceed_v psal_n 46._o that_o as_o his_o

that_o no_o man_n may_v be_v as_o i_o have_v be_v too_o too_o confident_a in_o my_o own_o strength_n but_o in_o all_o thing_n of_o concernment_n little_a or_o much_o every_o man_n may_v have_v his_o

that_o i_o shall_v fall_v into_o such_o a_o snare_n which_o do_v indeed_o make_v i_o jealous_a of_o my_o own_o heart_n that_o it_o have_v not_o be_v so_o right_a to_o god_n as_o it_o ought_v and_o i_o

be_v so_o time_n be_v that_o i_o have_v great_a discovery_n of_o god_n love_n unto_o my_o soul_n but_o of_o late_o i_o have_v see_v to_o arise_v mist_n and_o cloud_n and_o have_v be_v as_o one_o that_o have_v lose_v his_o first_o love_n and_o indeed_o the_o sinfulness_n of_o this_o wickedness_n be_v so_o great_a that_o it_o may_v give_v great_a jealousy_n to_o think_v i_o be_o one_o that_o i●_n spew_v out_o of_o the_o mouth_n of_o god_n but_o as_o to_o myself_o i_o be_o not_o altogether_o leave_v without_o hope_n because_o i_o do_v it_o ignorant_o and_o christ_n be_v hold_v forth_o in_o

over_o his_o own_o heart_n it_o please_v the_o lord_n when_o he_o hear_v solomon_n say_v that_o he_o be_v but_o a_o child_n and_o therefore_o he_o give_v he_o the_o thing_n he_o request_v this_o i_o speak_v to_o that_o end_n that_o you_o may_v be_v advise_v to_o lean_v upon_o the_o lord_n for_o advice_n and_o counsel_n which_o be_v the_o way_n to_o keep_v your_o eye_n from_o tear_n and_o your_o foot_n from_o fall_v but_o because_o i_o take_v not_o this_o counsel_n myself_o i_o shall_v rather_o desire_v to_o conclude_v only_o say_v this_o that_o i_o look_v upon_o what_o i_o have_v here_o

herein_o commit_v a_o public_a offence_n so_o i_o judge_v it_o my_o duty_n to_o make_v a_o public_a acknowledgement_n of_o the_o same_o and_o although_o as_o it_o be_v possible_a these_o line_n may_v come_v into_o the_o hand_n of_o man_n of_o several_a opinion_n and_o persuasion_n yet_o that_o they_o will_v judge_v charitable_o of_o i_o that_o i_o do_v it_o not_o to_o please_v any_o man_n humour_n neither_o thereby_o intend_v to_o offend_v any_o but_o as_o i_o have_v offend_v through_o my_o weakness_n and_o my_o soul_n burden_v by_o reason_n thereof_o i_o hope_v they_o will_v all_o bear_v with_o i_o consider_v what_o the_o scripture_n say_v prov._n 18.14_o the_o spirit_n of_o a_o man_n will_v sustain_v his_o infirmity_n but_o a_o wound_a spirit_n who_o can_v bear_v the_o end_n
