light_n and_o life_n of_o god_n wherewith_o stand_v all_o mankind_n be_v light_v do_v i_o now_o stand_v and_o rejoice_v over_o the_o world_n and_o all_o its_o glory_n and_o enmity_n over_o the_o

to_o the_o babe_n that_o fear_v he_o but_o to_o other_o its_o parable_n when_o i_o be_v about_o 10_o year_n old_a i_o do_v remember_v that_o sometime_o i_o desire_v to_o go_v and_o sit_v alone_o quiet_a in_o some_o desert_n place_n where_o i_o may_v bemoan_v myself_o and_o weep_v in_o secret_a even_o until_o my_o heart_n be_v break_v not_o know_v wherefore_o and_o do_v begin_v to_o pray_v

which_o i_o know_v not_o then_o what_o it_o be_v but_o can_v have_v flee_v any_o way_n from_o it_o be_v put_v in_o such_o horrible_a fear_n and_o condemn_v by_o it_o when_o i_o have_v do_v any_o

in_o meekness_n and_o fear_n out_o of_o all_o strife_n which_o come_v from_o the_o lust_n that_o war_n against_o the_o soul_n i_o then_o be_v entertain_v and_o become_v one_o among_o they_o both_o in_o garrison_n and_o army_n where_o for_o a_o season_n i_o be_v keep_v and_o preserve_v out_o of_o much_o wickedness_n by_o the_o fear_n of_o god_n in_o i_o though_o i_o know_v not_o then_o where_o he_o be_v nor_o long_o after_o yet_o by_o his_o secret_a hand_n of_o power_n unexpected_a and_o undeserved_a be_v i_o preserve_v when_o many_o be_v slay_v on_o my_o right_a hand_n and_o on_o my_o left_a hand_n glory_n and_o praise_n to_o his_o power_n for_o ever_o and_o ever_o but_o about_o 17_o year_n old_a i_o be_v under_o the_o command_n of_o he_o call_v major_a general_n massey_n where_o i_o find_v many_o wicked_a and_o ungodly_a man_n and_o some_o that_o have_v turn_v from_o goring_n army_n among_o they_o through_o which_o company_n the_o honest_a principle_n in_o i_o be_v betray_v and_o even_o murder_v and_o i_o begin_v to_o be_v harden_v from_o the_o fear_n of_o god_n for_o i_o be_v but_o a_o youth_n and_o of_o a_o bashful_a countenance_n natural_o and_o be_v soon_o check_v for_o any_o evil_n and_o feel_v the_o condemnation_n for_o it_o quick_o but_o now_o i_o can_v swear_v and_o vapour_n among_o they_o and_o drink_v till_o i_o be_v sometime_o drink_v and_o grow_v in_o it_o until_o i_o even_o take_v delight_n in_o swear_v and_o drunkenness_n yet_o oft_o time_n when_o i_o be_v go_v from_o my_o company_n alone_o and_o quiet_a fear_v and_o dread_n from_o the_o

sight_n and_o vision_n of_o hell_n and_o devil_n death_n and_o damnation_n which_o indeed_o in_o that_o state_n be_v my_o just_a portion_n and_o so_o in_o the_o cool_a of_o the_o day_n i_o hear_v the_o voice_n of_o god_n and_o be_v afraid_a like_a adam_n in_o the_o transgression_n and_o though_o i_o will_v have_v hide_v my_o sin_n like_o he_o yet_o the_o lord_n do_v search_v it_o out_o and_o now_o i_o know_v god_n speak_v unto_o man_n once_o yea_o twice_o yet_o man_n perceive_v it_o not_o in_o a_o dream_n in_o a_o vision_n of_o the_o night_n when_o deep_a sleep_n fall_v upon_o man_n in_o

until_o all_o be_v disband_v about_o which_o time_n i_o be_v so_o smite_v by_o god_n witness_n the_o light_n in_o my_o conscience_n that_o i_o begin_v to_o leave_v of_o my_o swear_n and_o lewdness_n
