to_o all_o people_n oh_o that_o you_o yourselves_o do_v tender_a and_o seek_v after_o the_o salvation_n of_o your_o soul_n more_o than_o you_o do_v remember_v when_o sometime_o you_o have_v be_v in_o great_a jepardy_n of_o your_o life_n at_o sea_n and_o the_o lord_n have_v in_o mercy_n deliver_v you_o how_o little_a have_v some_o of_o you_o eye_v the_o mercy_n and_o deliver_v hand_n of_o the_o

when_o you_o have_v be_v in_o great_a danger_n of_o your_o life_n and_o see_v no_o way_n but_o you_o must_v perish_v have_v you_o not_o then_o cry_v to_o the_o lord_n to_o deliver_v you_o and_o the_o gild_n of_o your_o iniquity_n be_v hang_v upon_o your_o conscience_n have_v you_o not_o be_v ready_a to_o make_v promise_n in_o your_o distress_n to_o the_o lord_n that_o if_o he_o spare_v your_o life_n you_o will_v repent_v and_o return_v unto_o he_o and_o fear_n and_o serve_v he_o and_o forsake_v the_o evil_a way_n and_o when_o the_o lord_n have_v answer_v your_o desire_n and_o in_o mercy_n have_v give_v you_o your_o life_n for_o a_o prey_n when_o you_o come_v to_o land_n have_v you_o then_o perform_v your_o vow_n and_o promise_v to_o the_o lord_n or_o have_v you_o not_o go_v on_o in_o sin_n and_o evil_a still_o let_v god_n witness_n in_o every_o conscience_n speak_v for_o unto_o that_o i_o make_v my_o appeal_n consider_v serious_o how_o it_o stand_v between_o god_n and_o your_o

a_o bless_a thing_n to_o be_v fit_a to_o die_v and_o to_o feel_v peace_n with_o god_n dear_a people_n your_o soul_n be_v immortal_a and_o must_v hereafter_o be_v in_o a_o sense_n and_o feel_n of_o joy_n peace_n and_o rest_n or_o else_o of_o sorrow_n misery_n and_o torment_n even_o to_o all_o eternity_n wherefore_o it_o concern_v every_o particular_a one_o to_o mind_n above_o all_o other_o thing_n and_o seek-aft_a the_o eternal_a peace_n and_o happiness_n of_o your_o soul_n in_o time_n before_o it_o be_v too_o late_a it_o be_v sin_n wickedness_n unbelief_n and_o hardness_n of_o heart_n that_o do_v separate_v people_n from_o the_o lord_n and_o that_o draw_v down_o the_o wrath_n and_o curse_n of_o god_n upon_o they_o wherefore_o people_n must_v first_o be_v separate_v and_o cleanse_v from_o that_o to_o wit_n sin_n which_o separate_v they_o from_o the_o lord_n and_o from_o his_o love_n peace_n and_o blessing_n before_o they_o can_v witness_v their_o reconciliation_n unto_o god_n in_o his_o son_n and_o enjoy_v his_o love_n peace_n and_o blessing_n oh_o dear_a people_n i_o beseech_v you_o do_v not_o deceive_v your_o own_o soul_n by_o be_v satisfy_v with_o a_o talk_n of_o be_v save_v and_o redeem_v by_o christ_n &c_n &c_n whilst_o you_o remain_v in_o your_o sin_n for_o who_o christ_n save_v he_o save_v from_o their_o sin_n not_o in_o their_o sin_n and_o they_o that_o witness_n christ_n to_o be_v their_o redeemer_n be_v redeem_v from_o a_o vain_a conversation_n and_o have_v their_o conscience_n purge_v from_o dead_a work_n and_o their_o heart_n cleanse_v and_o wash_v in_o his_o blood_n which_o be_v his_o life_n and_o light_n from_o sin_n and_o corruption_n that_o so_o they_o may_v serve_v he_o in_o newness_n and_o holiness_n of_o life_n therefore_o consider_v be_v still_o serious_a and_o ponderous_a in_o heart_n and_o retire_v your_o mind_n inward_a to_o the_o pure_a light_n of_o christ_n in_o your_o own_o conscience_n that_o true_a and_o
