never_o have_v commit_v any_o sin_n that_o i_o know_v of_o that_o do_v trouble_v my_o conscience_n 22._o yet_o the_o fear_n of_o hell_n produce_v many_o deep_a sigh_n and_o groan_n even_o from_o the_o bottom_n of_o my_o heart_n for_o fear_n god_n have_v make_v i_o a_o reprobate_n before_o i_o be_v bear_v because_o he_o do_v not_o answer_v my_o prayer_n nor_o speak_v peace_n to_o my_o soul_n notwithstanding_o my_o earnest_a desire_n and_o zeal_n for_o he_o i_o know_v not_o at_o that_o time_n 23._o yet_o many_o time_n i_o have_v great_a refreshment_n of_o soul_n and_o as_o i_o think_v communion_n with_o god_n whereby_o my_o hope_n be_v increase_v for_o a_o season_n but_o it_o be_v quick_o lose_v again_o so_o that_o the_o trouble_n of_o my_o mind_n do_v continue_v still_o many_o year_n 24._o yet_o at_o some_o time_n i_o have_v elevasion_n in_o my_o mind_n and_o rapture_n of_o joy_n that_o i_o think_v i_o shall_v never_o be_v move_v again_o 25._o but_o a_o while_n after_o all_o be_v lose_v again_o and_o doubt_v take_v place_n in_o my_o soul_n but_o since_o i_o see_v the_o cause_n of_o those_o rapture_n and_o fear_n of_o hell_n be_v both_o groundless_a chap._n vi_o after_o the_o prophet_n have_v give_v a_o description_n of_o his_o marriage_n of_o his_o wife_n and_o of_o his_o child_n from_o the_o twenty_o six_o year_n of_o his_o life_n to_o the_o thirty_o eighth_n he_o than_o show_v the_o alteration_n of_o the_o religion_n in_o the_o puritan_n people_n and_o of_o the_o confusion_n that_o be_v among_o they_o 1._o after_o this_o it_o come_v to_o pass_v in_o the_o twenty_o six_o year_n of_o my_o life_n i_o take_v a_o wife_n that_o be_v of_o my_o own_o mind_n and_o religion_n she_o be_v a_o virgin_n of_o about_o 19_o year_n of_o age_n and_o i_o have_v by_o she_o three_o daughter_n in_o three_o year_n and_o a_o half_a be_v time_n 2._o the_o first_o daughter_n i_o have_v by_o she_o be_v name_v sarah_n after_o her_o mother_n name_n she_o be_v yet_o alive_a and_o be_v become_v the_o most_o experimental_a and_o knowing'st_a woman_n in_o spiritual_a thing_n of_o that_o sex_n in_o london_n but_o i_o shall_v say_v no_o more_o of_o she_o here_o because_o i_o shall_v have_v occasion_n to_o speak_v of_o she_o hereafter_o 3._o also_o my_o young_a daughter_n elizabeth_n which_o i_o have_v by_o my_o wife_n sarah_n be_v now_o live_v but_o the_o second_o daughter_n die_v when_o three_o year_n and_o a_o half_a be_v expire_v my_o wife_n sarah_n die_v also_o 4._o after_o this_o my_o child_n be_v young_a i_o put_v they_o forth_o to_o nurse_n in_o the_o country_n and_o live_v a_o single_a life_n and_o follow_v my_o trade_n and_o live_v very_o well_o 5._o only_o the_o spirit_n of_o fear_n of_o hell_n be_v still_o upon_o i_o but_o not_o so_o extreme_a as_o it_o be_v the_o year_n before_o 6._o after_o this_o in_o the_o thirty_o second_o year_n of_o my_o life_n i_o take_v another_o virgin_n to_o wife_n her_o name_n be_v mary_n she_o be_v about_o nineteen_o year_n old_a and_o i_o have_v by_o she_o three_o child_n two_o son_n and_o one_o daughter_n the_o elder_a die_v at_o three_o year_n old_a and_o the_o young_a be_v a_o daughter_n and_o she_o die_v three_o day_n after_o she_o be_v bear_v and_o my_o wife_n mary_n die_v five_o day_n after_o 7._o i_o have_v only_o one_o son_n live_v by_o she_o and_o i_o have_v she_o to_o wife_n a_o matter_n of_o six_o year_n and_o that_o son_n live_v until_o john_n reeve_n and_o i_o be_v choose_v of_o god_n and_o about_o a_o year_n and_o a_o half_a afterward_o be_v about_o nine_o year_n old_a he_o die_v so_o all_o the_o child_n of_o my_o second_o wife_n die_v 8._o after_o my_o wife_n mary_n die_v i_o be_v then_o about_o thirty_o eight_o year_n old_a but_o at_o the_o time_n when_o i_o be_v marry_v to_o my_o wife_n mary_n about_o six_o year_n before_o there_o be_v raise_v of_o arm_n by_o the_o parliament_n against_o the_o king_n 9_o and_o general_o the_o puritan_n be_v all_o for_o the_o parliament_n and_o most_o of_o my_o society_n and_o acquaitance_n in_o religion_n do_v fall_v away_o from_o that_o way_n we_o do_v use_v and_o decline_v in_o love_n one_o towards_o another_o and_o every_o one_o get_v a_o new_a judgement_n and_o new_a acquaitance_n and_o new_a discipline_n 10._o some_o of_o they_o turn_v to_o presbytery_n and_o will_v have_v elder_n and_o some_o turn_v independent_n and_o will_v not_o let_v none_o work_v to_o they_o but_o their_o own_o people_n that_o be_v in_o church_n fellowship_n other_o fall_v to_o be_v ranter_n and_o some_o fall_v to_o be_v mere_a atheist_n 11._o so_o that_o our_o puritan_n people_n be_v so_o divide_v and_o scatter_v in_o our_o religion_n that_o i_o know_v not_o which_o to_o take_v too_o or_o which_o to_o cleave_v unto_o for_o i_o be_v altogether_o at_o a_o loss_n for_o all_o the_o zeal_n we_o former_o have_v be_v quite_o wear_v out_o 12._o and_o to_o join_v with_o any_o of_o these_o new_a discipline_n i_o can_v not_o except_o i_o will_v play_v the_o hypocrite_n for_o a_o livelihood_n which_o my_o heart_n always_o hate_v notwithstanding_o my_o kindred_n by_o my_o first_o wife_n sarah_n where_o all_o puritan_n and_o zealous_n in_o religion_n 13._o and_o i_o have_v a_o great_a stroke_n of_o work_n of_o they_o and_o they_o be_v a_o great_a generation_n of_o they_o and_o most_o of_o they_o pretty_a rich_a in_o this_o world_n and_o most_o of_o they_o go_v into_o church_n fellowship_n so_o that_o i_o lose_v several_a of_o they_o because_o i_o can_v not_o join_v in_o church_n fellowship_n 14._o for_o think_v i_o there_o be_v no_o more_o satisfaction_n to_o be_v find_v in_o church_n fellowship_n than_o before_o for_o none_o can_v serve_v god_n and_o be_v more_o zealous_a for_o god_n and_o for_o righteousness_n than_o we_o be_v before_o 15._o so_o that_o go_v into_o church_n fellowship_n will_v not_o satisfy_v my_o soul_n as_o to_o my_o salvation_n no_o more_o than_o before_o 16._o for_o satisfaction_n of_o mind_n as_o to_o another_o life_n be_v always_o my_o aim_n and_o end_v that_o i_o strive_v after_o but_o can_v not_o attain_v to_o it_o as_o yet_o 17._o so_o i_o be_v at_o a_o great_a loss_n in_o my_o mind_n what_o to_o do_v i_o have_v lose_v my_o friend_n and_o relation_n because_o i_o can_v not_o follow_v they_o in_o church_n fellowship_n and_o i_o have_v no_o freedom_n in_o myself_o so_o to_o do_v 18._o for_o i_o have_v see_v the_o utmost_a perfection_n and_o satisfaction_n that_o can_v be_v find_v in_o that_o way_n except_o i_o will_v do_v it_o for_o loaf_n but_o loaf_n be_v never_o my_o aim_n but_o a_o real_a rest_n in_o my_o mind_n i_o always_o seek_v after_o but_o can_v find_v it_o no_o where_o chap._n vii_o the_o prophet_n show_v his_o great_a dissatisfaction_n and_o loss_n in_o religion_n even_o almost_o to_o dispair_n yet_o in_o the_o conclusion_n resolve_v to_o hold_v his_o integrity_n to_o do_v just_o and_o keep_v from_o actual_a sin_n but_o mind_n religion_n no_o more_o but_o leave_v happiness_n and_o misery_n to_o god_n disposal_n 1._o so_o i_o see_v these_o puritan_n of_o my_o acquaintance_n they_o have_v no_o comfort_n nor_o peace_n of_o mind_n as_o to_o a_o life_n to_o come_v that_o be_v in_o church_n fellowship_n than_o before_o nor_o so_o much_o 2._o then_o i_o see_v several_a of_o they_o that_o be_v zealous_a before_o towards_o god_n and_o righteousness_n towards_o man_n and_o now_o they_o have_v leave_v that_o zeal_n and_o turn_v ranter_n not_o only_o in_o judgement_n but_o in_o practice_n to_o the_o destruction_n both_o of_o soul_n and_o body_n 3._o when_o i_o see_v this_o that_o neither_o the_o righteous_a can_v find_v peace_n in_o the_o day_n of_o their_o righteousness_n but_o be_v afraid_a of_o hell_n nor_o those_o that_o turn_v from_o their_o righteousness_n to_o actual_a wickedness_n i_o think_v i_o must_v needs_o go_v to_o hell_n 4._o yet_o they_o say_v all_o be_v well_o and_o quiet_a with_o they_o so_o that_o i_o be_v as_o david_n be_v almost_o like_a to_o have_v sleep_v and_o to_o have_v say_v in_o my_o heart_n sure_a there_o be_v no_o god_n but_o all_o thing_n come_v by_o nature_n because_o the_o righteous_a can_v find_v no_o peace_n in_o their_o righteousness_n as_o i_o can_v not_o nor_o the_o wicked_a be_v not_o trouble_v for_o their_o sin_n 5._o but_o when_o i_o go_v into_o the_o sanctuary_n of_o my_o mind_n i_o consider_v the_o visible_a thing_n of_o nature_n i_o can_v not_o conceive_v how_o this_o vast_a element_n we_o see_v can_v make_v itself_o or_o how_o the_o sun_n moon_n and_o star_n can_v give_v be_v to_o themselves_o 6._o how_o can_v the_o beast_n of_o the_o field_n the_o foul_n

weigh_v it_o in_o my_o mind_n and_o be_v loath_a to_o forsake_v it_o 16._o then_o i_o consider_v my_o soul_n be_v of_o more_o value_n and_o what_o will_v it_o avail_v i_o to_o be_v rich_a in_o this_o world_n for_o a_o moment_n and_o to_o loose_v my_o soul_n for_o i_o be_v extreme_o fearful_a of_o eternal_a damnation_n think_v my_o soul_n may_v go_v into_o hell_n fire_n without_o a_o body_n as_o all_o people_n do_v at_o that_o time_n 17._o and_o after_o much_o struggle_a in_o my_o mind_n i_o come_v to_o this_o resolution_n in_o myself_o that_o rather_o than_o i_o will_v loose_v my_o soul_n or_o be_v damn_v to_o eternity_n i_o will_v loose_v the_o maid_n and_o that_o way_n that_o will_v have_v make_v i_o rich_a and_o that_o i_o will_v be_v zealous_a of_o the_o law_n of_o god_n as_o afterward_o i_o be_v 18._o here_o the_o two_o seed_n of_o faith_n and_o reason_n do_v work_v in_o i_o but_o i_o know_v they_o not_o by_o name_n nor_o nature_n at_o that_o time_n nor_o many_o year_n after_o 19_o but_o as_o i_o do_v fear_v it_o come_v to_o pass_v for_o the_o maid_n mother_n see_v my_o mind_n so_o change_v and_o so_o zealous_a of_o the_o law_n of_o the_o scripture_n and_o that_o i_o will_v not_o keep_v that_o way_n as_o i_o think_v to_o do_v before_o 20._o she_o will_v not_o let_v her_o daughter_n have_v i_o to_o her_o husband_n so_o the_o maid_n be_v persuade_v by_o her_o mother_n 21._o and_o my_o zeal_n to_o save_v my_o soul_n persuade_v my_o mind_n to_o let_v she_o go_v so_o we_o part_v 22._o thus_o i_o forsake_v the_o world_n and_o a_o wife_n which_o i_o love_v in_o the_o day_n of_o my_o ignorance_n for_o zeal_n to_o the_o law_n of_o god_n which_o i_o think_v to_o be_v truth_n and_o the_o true_a way_n and_o so_o it_o be_v 23._o but_o i_o do_v not_o know_v it_o till_o many_o year_n after_o but_o the_o lord_n god_n of_o truth_n have_v respect_n unto_o my_o person_n and_o zeal_n at_o that_o time_n and_o prevent_v i_o from_o fall_v into_o that_o snare_n of_o be_v rich_a in_o this_o world_n cap._n v._o the_o prophet_n show_v his_o care_n his_o fear_n and_o zeal_n in_o the_o law_n of_o god_n and_o of_o the_o work_n of_o his_o thought_n and_o height_n of_o the_o puritan_n religion_n 1._o so_o after_o i_o have_v part_v with_o the_o maid_n and_o that_o way_n that_o do_v offend_v my_o conscience_n i_o be_v resolve_v to_o live_v so_o upright_o to_o the_o law_n of_o god_n and_o so_o just_a between_o man_n and_o man_n that_o i_o think_v in_o time_n i_o may_v procure_v favour_n with_o god_n and_o to_o attain_v assurance_n of_o my_o salvation_n 2._o for_o i_o be_v full_o possess_v that_o there_o be_v real_o salvation_n to_o be_v attain_v unto_o by_o my_o righteousness_n and_o that_o there_o be_v a_o real_a damnation_n to_o all_o those_o that_o be_v unrighteous_a or_o do_v not_o demean_v themselves_o so_o strict_o as_o i_o do_v 3._o for_o i_o be_v exceed_v fearful_a of_o hell_n and_o eternal_a damnation_n the_o very_a thought_n of_o it_o make_v my_o spirit_n many_o time_n fail_v within_o i_o 4._o but_o by_o prayer_n and_o my_o righteous_a practice_n i_o do_v many_o time_n recover_v some_o hope_n and_o peace_n again_o 5._o all_o this_o while_n i_o do_v suppose_v my_o soul_n may_v go_v into_o hell_n without_o a_o body_n and_o that_o million_o of_o soul_n be_v in_o hellfire_n without_o body_n and_o that_o the_o devil_n be_v a_o bodily_a spirit_n do_v torment_v those_o soul_n that_o come_v there_o and_o that_o the_o devil_n have_v liberty_n to_o come_v out_o of_o hell_n to_o tempt_v people_n here_o on_o earth_n and_o go_v there_o again_o but_o no_o soul_n that_o he_o have_v get_v there_o can_v come_v out_o of_o hell_n more_o 6._o these_o thing_n wrought_v in_o my_o mind_n exceed_v great_a fear_n and_o stir_v i_o up_o to_o a_o more_o exceed_a righteousness_n of_o life_n think_v thereby_o that_o my_o righteous_a life_n will_v have_v cast_v out_o those_o torment_a fear_n but_o it_o do_v not_o 7._o yet_o notwithstanding_o i_o do_v continue_v in_o my_o zeal_n and_o be_v earnest_a in_o the_o puritan_n religion_n and_o practice_n neither_o do_v i_o know_v how_o to_o find_v rest_v any_o where_o else_o neither_o do_v i_o hear_v any_o preach_v in_o those_o day_n but_o the_o puritan_n minister_n who_o hair_n be_v cut_v short_a 8._o for_o if_o a_o man_n with_o long_a hair_n have_v go_v into_o the_o pulpit_n to_o preach_v i_o will_v have_v go_v out_o of_o the_o church_n again_o though_o he_o may_v preach_v better_a than_o the_o other_o 9_o but_o we_o puritan_n be_v pharisaical_o mind_v be_v zealous_a of_o outward_a appearance_n and_o of_o outward_a behaviour_n for_o we_o mind_v that_o more_o than_o their_o doctrine_n 10._o for_o we_o take_v it_o for_o grant_v that_o god_n be_v a_o spirit_n without_o a_o body_n and_o that_o christ_n jesus_n his_o son_n have_v a_o body_n in_o form_n like_o man_n and_o that_o he_o do_v mediate_v to_o god_n his_o father_n who_o be_v a_o spirit_n without_o a_o body_n and_o that_o for_o christ_n sake_n this_o spirit_n without_o a_o body_n do_v hear_v we_o and_o speak_v peace_n unto_o we_o 11._o also_o i_o believe_v that_o the_o devil_n be_v a_o spirit_n without_o a_o body_n and_o can_v assend_v out_o of_o hell_n when_o god_n do_v give_v he_o leave_v and_o suge_a evil_a thought_n of_o lust_n theft_n murder_n and_o blasphemy_n against_o god_n not_o think_v that_o these_o thought_n and_o motion_n do_v arise_v out_o of_o man_n own_o heart_n but_o from_o a_o devil_n a_o spirit_n without_o a_o body_n without_o man._n 12._o also_o i_o think_v those_o soul_n which_o god_n do_v save_o be_v carry_v up_o to_o heaven_n without_o body_n and_o shall_v be_v with_o god_n who_o be_v a_o spirit_n without_o a_o body_n and_o that_o we_o shall_v see_v christ_n jesus_n in_o heaven_n with_o his_o body_n with_o our_o spirit_n that_o be_v save_v without_o body_n till_o the_o resurrection_n and_o then_o body_n and_o soul_n shall_v be_v unite_v together_o again_o 13._o also_o we_o do_v believe_v that_o the_o wicked_a spirit_n shall_v be_v cast_v into_o hell_n fire_n without_o body_n where_o the_o devil_n and_o his_o angel_n be_v spirit_n without_o body_n shall_v torment_n the_o soul_n of_o the_o wicked_a till_o the_o day_n of_o resurrection_n and_o then_o those_o wicked_a soul_n shall_v be_v unite_v to_o their_o body_n again_o and_o be_v torment_v body_n and_o soul_n together_o with_o the_o devil_n and_o his_o angel_n who_o be_v spirit_n without_o body_n in_o hell_n fire_n for_o ever_o and_o ever_o 14._o and_o we_o do_v believe_v that_o the_o angel_n of_o god_n be_v minister_a spirit_n without_o body_n as_o god_n be_v a_o spirit_n without_o a_o body_n so_o be_v they_o and_o can_v minister_v comfort_n unto_o man_n without_o body_n 15._o and_o we_o do_v believe_v our_o own_o soul_n to_o be_v immortal_a and_o can_v not_o die_v but_o do_v subsist_v the_o good_a spirit_n with_o god_n in_o heaven_n without_o body_n and_o the_o wicked_a soul_n do_v subsist_v in_o hell_n without_o body_n 16._o these_o be_v some_o of_o the_o fundamental_a principle_n of_o faith_n and_o religion_n we_o zealous_a puritan_n do_v believe_v and_o practice_n and_o there_o be_v no_o better_a faith_n in_o the_o world_n to_o this_o day_n in_o the_o generality_n of_o professor_n of_o religion_n 17._o these_o thing_n be_v i_o very_o well_o verse_v in_o and_o i_o grow_v in_o great_a experience_n and_o knowledge_n in_o the_o letter_n of_o the_o scripture_n and_o have_v a_o good_a gift_n of_o prayer_n and_o be_v very_o strong_a in_o dispute_n because_o my_o mind_n be_v extreme_o perplex_v with_o the_o fear_n of_o hell_n notwithstanding_o my_o exact_a life_n to_o the_o letter_n of_o the_o law_n 18._o but_o the_o fear_n of_o hell_n wrought_v in_o i_o much_o experience_n so_o that_o i_o do_v exceed_v several_a other_o man_n in_o that_o knowledge_n which_o be_v in_o those_o day_n and_o though_o i_o be_v judge_v a_o very_a godly_a knowing-man_n and_o a_o happy_a man_n by_o other_o yet_o i_o can_v not_o judge_v so_o of_o myself_o but_o the_o fear_n of_o hell_n be_v oft_o rise_v up_o in_o i_o 19_o for_o i_o never_o conceit_a well_o of_o my_o own_o knowledge_n but_o think_v the_o knowledge_n of_o other_o man_n do_v far_o exceed_v i_o because_o they_o seem_v to_o be_v better_o satisfy_v in_o their_o mind_n than_o i_o be_v 20._o yet_o i_o think_v in_o myself_o that_o in_o time_n by_o my_o prayer_n and_o righteousness_n and_o exact_a walk_v and_o hear_v of_o preach_v that_o i_o may_v heal_v that_o wound_n in_o my_o soul_n which_o be_v make_v and_o i_o know_v not_o for_o what_o 21._o for_o i_o
