to_o offend_v and_o provoke_v the_o wrath_n of_o so_o great_a a_o majesty_n consider_v the_o wonderful_a and_o most_o terrible_a severity_n of_o his_o justice_n and_o what_o horrible_a punishment_n he_o have_v use_v from_o time_n to_o time_n in_o the_o world_n against_o sin_n and_o that_o not_o only_o upon_o particular_a person_n but_o also_o upon_o city_n nation_n kingdom_n and_o province_n yea_o upon_o the_o universal_a world_n and_o not_o only_o in_o earth_n but_o also_o in_o heaven_n and_o not_o only_o upon_o stranger_n sinner_n but_o even_o upon_o his_o own_o most_o innocent_a son_n

who_o hand_n be_v so_o heavy_a that_o in_o case_n he_o shall_v strike_v but_o one_o stroke_n upon_o thou_o he_o will_v at_o one_o blow_v drive_v thou_o down_o headlong_o into_o the_o deep_a bottomless_a pit_n of_o hell_n without_o remedy_n consider_v likewise_o the_o great_a patience_n of_o this_o our_o merciful_a lord_n who_o have_v expect_v thy_o repentance_n so_o long_o even_o from_o the_o time_n that_o thou_o do_v first_o offend_v he_o and_o think_v that_o if_o after_o so_o long_a patience_n and_o tarry_n for_o thou_o thou_o shall_v still_o continue_v thy_o lewd_a and_o sinful_a

even_o sharp_a arrow_n of_o everlasting_a wrath_n and_o death_n consider_v also_o the_o profoundness_n of_o his_o deep_a judgement_n whereof_o we_o read_v and_o see_v daily_o so_o great_a wonder_n we_o see_v how_o solomon_n himself_o after_o his_o so_o great_a wisdom_n and_o after_o those_o three_o thousand_o parable_n and_o most_o profound_a mystery_n utter_v by_o he_o be_v forsake_v by_o
