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

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

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

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

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

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

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
