of_o this_o duty_n be_v sinful_a and_o therefore_o look_v how_o long_o it_o be_v delay_v so_o much_o always_o in_o one_o sense_n it_o be_v too_o late_o because_o it_o be_v not_o so_o soon_o as_o it_o

near_o concern_v to_o do_v it_o because_o we_o can_v never_o be_v safe_a nor_o enjoy_v any_o true_a comfort_n till_o it_o be_v do_v and_o therefore_o again_o if_o it_o be_v delay_v at_o all_o it_o come_v late_a than_o we_o stand_v in_o need_n of_o it_o and_o that_o be_v too_o late_a in_o respect_n to_o our_o own_o welfare_n god_n all_o the_o time_n we_o delay_v it_o want_v his_o right_n the_o

upon_o sin_n do_v we_o ever_o consider_v thing_n serious_o no_o we_o see_v it_o that_o when_o man_n be_v at_o any_o time_n awaken_v into_o serious_a consideration_n by_o some_o sharp_a affliction_n by_o a_o apprehension_n of_o some_o great_a and_o imminent_a danger_n or_o sickness_n they_o can_v despise_v all_o these_o temptation_n and_o resist_v they_o and_o if_o when_o the_o danger_n fear_v
