mindful_a of_o these_o obligation_n she_o have_v lay_v upon_o herself_o and_o by_o which_o she_o must_v be_v judge_v at_o the_o last_o day_n ah_o lord_n who_o in_o work_v thy_o miracle_n do_v always_o regard_v some_o great_a end_n have_v thou_o not_o restore_v my_o health_n that_o thou_o may_v accomplish_v the_o bless_a purpose_n of_o thy_o grace_n upon_o my_o soul_n that_o by_o a_o thorough_a conversion_n of_o my_o heart_n unto_o thou_o i_o may_v pass_v from_o this_o state_n of_o death_n or_o as_o the_o royal_a prophet_n speak_v from_o the_o terror_n of_o hell_n to_o such_o a_o religious_a course_n of_o life_n as_o those_o devout_a soul_n lead_v who_o now_o sleep_n in_o the_o lord_n who_o do_v not_o presume_v on_o thy_o mercy_n and_o from_o thence_o defer_v their_o repentance_n to_o the_o last_o moment_n yes_o lord_n i_o acknowledge_v thy_o mercy_n in_o the_o midst_n of_o thy_o judgement_n and_o the_o constant_a protection_n of_o thy_o providence_n in_o all_o the_o accident_n of_o my_o life_n for_o this_o be_v the_o reason_n why_o thou_o have_v so_o much_o afflict_a i_o so_o much_o distress_v i_o so_o often_o change_v my_o desire_n and_o my_o resolution_n that_o hereby_o thou_o may_v wean_v i_o from_o myself_o and_o therefore_o that_o i_o may_v maintain_v a_o inviolable_a fidelity_n tie_v towards_o thou_o for_o the_o future_a that_o i_o may_v serve_v thou_o that_o i_o may_v love_v thou_o and_o rather_o die_v a_o thousand_o time_n than_o return_v again_o to_o my_o former_a vain_a conversation_n i_o have_v write_v this_o paper_n with_o my_o own_o hand_n as_o a_o register_n of_o thy_o mercy_n my_o most_o intimate_v resolution_n and_o all_o thy_o adorable_a truth_n that_o if_o at_o any_o time_n i_o shall_v forget_v myself_o i_o may_v hereby_o be_v put_v in_o mind_n of_o my_o duty_n and_o that_o model_n of_o holy_a live_n i_o have_v resolve_v on_o if_o my_o faith_n shall_v falter_v my_o hope_n shall_v languish_v or_o my_o charity_n grow_v cold_a and_o my_o corruption_n begin_v to_o struggle_v in_o my_o soul_n the_o read_n of_o these_o prayer_n and_o the_o contemplation_n of_o thy_o bounty_n and_o thy_o grace_n may_v reduce_v they_o to_o their_o former_a temper_n that_o if_o at_o any_o time_n i_o shall_v forget_v that_o agony_n which_o the_o consideration_n of_o thy_o justice_n produce_v in_o my_o mind_n when_o like_o a_o condemn_a malefactor_n on_o the_o scaffold_n i_o be_v impatient_a to_o be_v free_v from_o the_o terror_n of_o death_n i_o may_v recollect_v myself_o by_o read_v of_o these_o reflection_n which_o i_o write_v upon_o this_o

like_o a_o poor_a beast_n and_o can_v do_v nothing_o in_o this_o great_a work_n o_o thou_o god_n of_o my_o salvation_n in_o who_o hand_n be_v my_o soul_n and_o my_o eternal_a happiness_n who_o do_v reprieve_v i_o from_o the_o grave_a and_o do_v crown_v i_o with_o thy_o mercy_n and_o fill_v my_o soul_n with_o holy_a desire_n who_o have_v renow_v my_o age_n as_o that_o of_o a_o eagle_n who_o have_v promise_v that_o thy_o anger_n shall_v not_o endure_v for_o ever_o against_o those_o who_o fear_v thou_o that_o thou_o will_v not_o punish_v they_o according_a to_o their_o desert_n but_o will_v put_v away_o their_o offence_n as_o far_o as_o the_o east_n be_v from_o the_o west_n who_o assure_v we_o that_o like_o as_o a_o father_n pity_v his_o child_n so_o thou_o will_v have_v compassion_n on_o we_o because_o thou_o know_v our_o weakness_n and_o that_o we_o be_v but_o dust_n that_o our_o most_o steady_a resolution_n be_v but_o as_o a_o traveller_n who_o tarry_v but_o for_o a_o night_n and_o as_o the_o morning_n dew_n which_o soon_o pass_v away_o last_o who_o work_v good_a out_o of_o the_o evil_a of_o our_o sin_n and_o who_o alone_a can_v convert_v i_o i_o beseech_v thou_o therefore_o to_o turn_v my_o heart_n because_o my_o soul_n be_v humble_v and_o overwhelm_v with_o shame_n and_o grief_n for_o displease_v thou_o because_o my_o soul_n put_v its_o trust_n in_o
