therefore_o the_o grievousnesse_n of_o thy_o sin_n if_o any_o such_o be_v amaze_v thou_o you_o say_v right_a reply_v he_o the_o devil_n have_v possess_v i_o and_o god_n have_v leave_v i_o to_o his_o power_n for_o i_o find_v i_o can_v neither_o believe_v the_o gospel_n nor_o trust_v in_o god_n mercy_n i_o have_v sin_v against_o the_o holy_a ghost_n and_o god_n by_o his_o immutable_a decree_n have_v bind_v i_o over_o to_o perpetual_a punishment_n without_o any_o hope_n of_o pardon_n 4._o it_o be_v true_a that_o the_o greatness_n of_o sin_n or_o the_o multitude_n of_o they_o can_v bind_v god_n mercy_n all_o those_o many_o sin_n that_o in_o the_o former_a part_n of_o my_o life_n i_o have_v commit_v then_o do_v not_o so_o much_o trouble_v i_o for_o i_o trust_v that_o god_n will_v not_o lay_v they_o to_o my_o charge_n but_o now_o have_v sin_v against_o the_o holy_a ghost_n god_n have_v take_v away_o from_o i_o all_o power_n of_o repentance_n &_o now_o bring_v all_o my_o sin_n to_o remembrance_n 10._o and_o thus_o guilty_a of_o one_o guilty_a of_o all_o and_o therefore_o it_o be_v no_o matter_n whether_o my_o sin_n be_v great_a or_o small_a few_o or_o many_o they_o be_v such_o as_o christ_n blood_n nor_o god_n mercy_n belong_v to_o i_o 18._o god_n will_v have_v mercy_n on_o who_o he_o will_v have_v mercy_n and_o who_o he_o will_v he_o harden_v this_o be_v it_o that_o gnaw_v my_o heart_n he_o have_v harden_v i_o and_o i_o find_v that_o he_o daily_o more_o and_o more_o do_v harden_v i_o and_o therefore_o i_o be_o out_o of_o hope_n i_o feel_v it_o and_o therefore_o can_v but_o despair_v i_o tell_v you_o there_o be_v never_o such_o a_o monster_n as_o i_o be_o never_o be_v man_n alive_a a_o spectacle_n of_o so_o exceed_a misery_n i_o know_v that_o justification_n be_v to_o be_v expect_v by_o christ_n and_o i_o deny_v and_o abjure_v it_o to_o the_o end_n i_o may_v keep_v this_o frail_a life_n from_o adversity_n and_o my_o child_n from_o poverty_n and_o now_o behold_v how_o bitter_a this_o life_n be_v to_o i_o and_o god_n only_o know_v what_o shall_v become_v of_o this_o my_o family_n but_o sure_o no_o good_a be_v likely_a to_o betide_v it_o but_o rather_o daily_o worse_a and_o worse_o and_o such_o a_o ruin_n at_o the_o length_n as_o that_o one_o stone_n shall_v not_o be_v leave_v on_o another_o but_o why_o shall_v you_o say_v gribauldus_n conceit_n so_o deep_o of_o your_o sin_n see_v you_o can_v but_o know_v that_o many_o have_v deny_v christ_n yet_o never_o fall_v into_o despair_n well_o say_v he_o i_o can_v see_v no_o ground_n of_o comfort_n for_o such_o neither_o can_v i_o warrant_v they_o from_o god_n revenge_a hand_n in_o wrath_n though_o it_o please_v god_n yet_o to_o suffer_v such_o to_o be_v in_o peace_n and_o beside_o there_o will_v a_o time_n of_o change_n come_v and_o then_o they_o shall_v be_v thorough_o try_v and_o if_o it_o be_v not_o so_o yet_o god_n be_v just_a in_o make_v i_o a_o example_n to_o other_o and_o i_o can_v just_o complain_v there_o be_v no_o punishment_n so_o great_a but_o i_o have_v deserve_v it_o for_o this_o so_o heinous_a offence_n i_o assure_v you_o it_o be_v no_o small_a matter_n to_o deny_v christ_n and_o yet_o it_o be_v more_o ordinary_a then_o common_o man_n do_v conceive_v of_o it_o be_v not_o a_o denial_n make_v before_o a_o magistrate_n as_o it_o be_v with_o i_o for_o as_o often_o as_o a_o christian_a do_v dissemble_v the_o know_a truth_n as_o often_o as_o he_o approve_v of_o false_a worship_n by_o present_v himself_o at_o it_o so_o often_o as_o he_o do_v not_o thing_n worthy_a of_o his_o call_n or_o such_o thing_n as_o be_v unworthy_a of_o his_o call_n so_o often_o he_o deny_v christ_n thus_o do_v i_o and_o therefore_o be_o just_o punish_v for_o it_o your_o estate_n quoth_v gribauldus_n be_v not_o so_o strange_a as_o you_o make_v it_o job_n be_v so_o far_o go_v that_o he_o complain_v god_n have_v set_v he_o as_o a_o mark_n against_o he_o and_o david_n that_o be_v a_o man_n after_o god_n own_o heart_n complain_v often_o that_o god_n have_v forsake_v he_o and_o be_v become_v his_o enemy_n yet_o both_o receive_v comfort_n again_o comfort_v yourself_o therefore_o god_n will_v come_v at_o length_n though_o he_o now_o seem_v far_o off_o o_o brother_n answer_v spira_n i_o believe_v all_o this_o the_o devil_n believe_v and_o tremble_v but_o david_n be_v ever_o elect_v and_o dear_o belove_v of_o god_n and_o though_o he_o fall_v yet_o god_n take_v not_o utter_o away_o his_o holy_a spirit_n and_o therefore_o be_v hear_v when_o he_o pray_v lord_n take_v not_o thy_o holy_a spirit_n from_o i_o but_o i_o be_o in_o another_o case_n be_v ever_o accurse_v from_o the_o presence_n of_o god_n neither_o can_v i_o pray_v as_o he_o do_v because_o his_o holy_a spirit_n be_v quite_o go_v and_o can_v be_v recall_v &_o therefore_o i_o know_v i_o shall_v live_v in_o continual_a hardness_n so_o long_o as_o i_o live_v o_o that_o i_o may_v feel_v but_o the_o least_o sense_n of_o the_o love_n of_o god_n to_o i_o though_o but_o for_o one_o small_a moment_n as_o i_o now_o feel_v his_o heavy_a wrath_n that_o burn_v like_o the_o torment_n of_o hell_n within_o i_o and_o afflict_v my_o conscience_n with_o pang_n unutterable_a very_o desperation_n be_v hell_n itself_o here_o gribauldus_n say_v i_o do_v very_o believe_v spira_n that_o god_n have_v so_o severe_o chastise_v you_o in_o this_o life_n correct_v you_o in_o mercy_n here_o that_o he_o may_v spare_v you_o hereafter_o and_o that_o he_o have_v mercy_n seal_v up_o for_o you_o in_o time_n to_o to_o come_v nay_o say_v spira_n hence_o do_v i_o know_v that_o i_o be_o a_o reprobate_n because_o he_o afflict_v i_o with_o hardness_n of_o heart_n oh_o that_o my_o body_n have_v suffer_v all_o my_o life_n long_o so_o that_o he_o will_v be_v please_v to_o release_v my_o soul_n and_o ease_v my_o conscience_n this_o burden_a conscience_n gribauldus_n be_v desirous_a to_o ease_v his_o mind_n from_o the_o continual_a meditation_n of_o his_o sin_n as_o also_o to_o sound_v how_o for_o the_o present_a he_o stand_v affect_v to_o the_o romish_a church_n ask_v he_o what_o he_o think_v become_v of_o the_o soul_n of_o man_n so_o soon_o as_o they_o depart_v out_o of_o the_o body_n to_o which_o he_o answer_v although_o this_o be_v not_o so_o full_o reveal_v in_o scripture_n yet_o i_o very_o believe_v that_o the_o soul_n of_o the_o elect_n go_v present_o to_o the_o kingdom_n of_o glory_n and_o not_o that_o sleep_n with_o the_o body_n as_o some_o do_v imagine_v very_o well_o say_v one_o of_o the_o spectator_n why_o do_v the_o scripture_n than_o say_v that_o god_n bring_v down_o to_o hell_n 6._o and_o raise_v up_o see_v it_o can_v be_v mean_v of_o the_o estate_n of_o the_o soul_n after_o death_n which_o as_o thou_o say_v either_o go_v to_o heaven_n without_o change_n or_o to_o hell_n without_o redemption_n it_o must_v be_v understand_v of_o the_o estate_n of_o the_o soul_n in_o this_o life_n like_o that_o wherein_o thou_o be_v at_o this_o present_a and_o oftentimes_o we_o see_v that_o god_n suffer_v man_n to_o fall_v into_o the_o jaw_n of_o despair_n and_o yet_o raise_v they_o up_o again_o and_o therefore_o despair_v not_o but_o hope_v it_o shall_v be_v even_o thus_o with_o thou_o in_o his_o good_a time_n this_o be_v the_o work_n quoth_v spira_n this_o the_o labour_n for_o i_o tell_v you_o when_o i_o at_o venice_n do_v first_o abjure_v my_o profession_n and_o so_o as_o it_o be_v draw_v a_o indenture_n the_o spirit_n of_o god_n often_o admonish_v i_o and_o when_o at_o cittadella_n i_o do_v as_o it_o be_v set_v to_o my_o seal_n the_o spirit_n of_o god_n often_o suggest_v to_o i_o do_v not_o write_v spira_n do_v not_o seal_v yet_o i_o resist_v the_o holy_a ghost_n and_o do_v both_o and_o at_o that_o very_a present_a i_o do_v evident_o feel_v a_o wound_n inflict_v in_o my_o very_a will_n so_o although_o i_o can_v say_v i_o will_v believe_v yet_o can_v i_o not_o say_v i_o will_v believe_v god_n have_v deny_v i_o the_o power_n of_o will_n and_o it_o befall_v i_o in_o this_o my_o miserable_a estate_n as_o with_o one_o that_o be_v fast_o in_o iron_n and_o his_o friend_n come_v to_o see_v he_o do_v pity_n his_o estate_n and_o do_v persuade_v he_o to_o shake_v off_o his_o setter_n and_o to_o come_v out_o of_o his_o bond_n which_o god_n know_v he_o will_v fain_o do_v but_o can_v this_o be_v my_o very_a case_n you_o persuade_v i_o to_o believe_v how_o fain_o will_v i_o do_v it_o but_o can_v o_o now_o i_o can_v then_o violent_o grasp_a his_o hand_n
