the_o lord_n consider_v what_o course_n he_o have_v take_v with_o a_o people_n for_o their_o amendment_n and_o be_v not_o a_o little_a displease_v if_o his_o correction_n upon_o they_o be_v in_o

other_o judgement_n more_o there_o mention_v and_o yet_o you_o have_v not_o turn_v unto_o i_o so_o that_o the_o lord_n take_v a_o account_n what_o correction_n he_o have_v correct_v man_n withal_o and_o what_o amendment_n have_v be_v wrought_v thereby_o and_o if_o it_o be_v otherwise_o he_o be_v very_o much_o displease_v that_o man_n shall_v be_v so_o incorrigible_a yea_o in_o such_o case_n the_o lord_n will_v either_o pursue_v such_o person_n and_o people_n with_o more_o and_o sore_a judgement_n yea_o etc._n seven_o time_n and_o seven_o time_n more_o judgement_n and_o one_o seven_o

have_v know_v the_o judgement_n of_o god_n which_o he_o have_v bring_v upon_o germany_n for_o many_o year_n together_o and_o upon_o ireland_n and_o england_n of_o late_a time_n god_n will_v be_v very_o angry_a if_o you_o shall_v remain_v impenitent_a unhumble_a and_o unreformed_a though_o you_o have_v know_v all_o this_o wherefore_o dear_a friend_n we_o beseech_v you_o let_v our_o advice_n and_o counsel_n be_v acceptable_a to_o you_o which_o yet_o be_v not_o our_o counsel_n but_o the_o lord_n 3.4_o that_o every_o man_n will_v now_o search_v and_o try_v his_o way_n and_o turn_v again_o

of_o the_o same_o yea_o now_o let_v every_o man_n cry_v mighty_o unto_o god_n 3.8_o for_o mercy_n and_o forgiveness_n in_o the_o blood_n of_o the_o redeemer_n christ_n jesus_n and_o turn_v to_o the_o

and_o your_o sin_n and_o misery_n increase_v thereby_o but_o that_o by_o they_o your_o iniquity_n may_v be_v purge_v 9_o and_o this_o may_v be_v the_o sweet_a and_o bless_a fruit_n thereof_o even_o the_o take_v away_o of_o your_o sin_n but_o when_o the_o jew_n be_v exhort_v by_o the_o prophet_n malachy_n to_o turn_v unto_o the_o lord_n with_o a_o promise_n that_o he_o will_v then_o return_v
