confess_v they_o for_o let_v any_o repentant_a sinner_n ask_v his_o conscience_n what_o be_v the_o first_o cause_n of_o his_o conversion_n and_o sure_o he_o will_v say_v that_o when_o he_o begin_v to_o repent_v he_o do_v first_o search_v himself_o and_o find_v his_o way_n dangerous_a and_o his_o cause_n fearful_a do_v thereupon_o resolve_v to_o take_v a_o new_a course_n it_o be_v the_o begin_n of_o all_o grace_n to_o search_v try_v and_o examine_v thyself_o it_o be_v also_o a_o mean_n to_o prevent_v god_n judgement_n for_o if_o thou_o do_v not_o search_v thyself_o than_o god_n will_v search_v thou_o with_o his_o fiery_a cross_n and_o terror_n of_o his_o punishment_n but_o if_o thou_o true_o examine_v thyself_o first_o to_o be_v guilty_a of_o adam_n sin_n second_o prone_a by_o

never_o be_v save_v unless_o thou_o repent_v nor_o never_o repent_v except_o thou_o do_v search_v try_v and_o examine_v thyself_o thus_o if_o thou_o will_v repent_v true_o thou_o must_v search_v and_o look_v into_o thyself_o to_o see_v in_o what_o a_o miserable_a case_n thou_o be_v as_o i_o have_v say_v before_o and_o thou_o shall_v find_v that_o by_o nature_n thou_o be_v the_o child_n of_o wrath_n out_o of_o the_o favour_n of_o god_n not_o only_o wretched_a and_o accurse_a by_o the_o law_n a_o bondslave_n unto_o satan_n but_o final_o subject_a to_o death_n hell_n and_o damnation_n thus_o if_o thou_o will_v know_v if_o thou_o be_v in_o the_o right_a way_n of_o repentance_n or_o no_o thou_o shall_v find_v if_o thou_o consider_v in_o thyself_o whether_o thou_o have_v ever_o any_o need_n of_o
