the_o sin_n of_o his_o youth_n to_o look_v back_o upon_o his_o former_a course_n of_o life_n suppose_v he_o a_o late_a penitent_a of_o the_o eleven_o hour_n ●_o and_o that_o god_n be_v please_v even_o

will_v he_o see_v himself_o encompass_v with_o and_o with_o what_o a_o mighty_a weight_n will_v they_o press_v his_o soul_n be_v it_o likely_a that_o that_o god_n who_o he_o have_v so_o long_o weary_v with_o his_o iniquity_n 17._o and_o press_v with_o his_o sin_n 13._o as_o a_o cart_n be_v press_v with_o sheaf_n will_v show_v he_o mercy_n now_o without_o give_v he_o a_o taste_n how_o bitter_a as_o
