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

comfort_n again_o comfort_n 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 ut●erly_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 and_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 lest_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

seal_v up_o for_o you_o in_o time_n 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 o_o th●t_z my_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
