accord_v still_o with_o the_o matter_n which_o i_o speak_v of_o even_o now_o namely_o that_o we_o shall_v never_o take_v sufficient_a taste_n of_o god_n goodness_n and_o promise_n until_o we_o be_v bring_v low_a in_o ourselves_o y_z t_z we_o may_v know_v our_o own_o needines_n and_o what_o y_fw-mi e_z life_n be_v which_o be_v promise_v we_o and_o which_o we_o obtain_v by_o jesus_n christ._n we_o think_v not_o upon_o any_o of_o all_o these_o thing_n except_o we_o first_o know_v the_o death_n y_fw-fr t_o be_v purchase_v unto_o we_o by_o adam_n &_o that_o the_o same_o dwell_v in_o we_o and_o hold_v we_o prisoner_n in_o his_o band_n if_o we_o know_v not_o that_o we_o be_v curse_v of_o god_n by_o nature_n and_o that_o we_o have_v no_o other_o hope_n but_o rottenness_n as_o touch_v our_o body_n and_o that_o as_o touch_v our_o soul_n we_o be_v reject_v of_o god_n &_o feel_v that_o he_o be_v against_o we_o and_o that_o he_o be_v our_o judge_n y_z t_z he_o will_v utter_v forth_o all_o his_o majesty_n to_o our_o confusion_n until_o such_o time_n as_o we_o feel_v all_o these_o thing_n it_o be_v certain_a that_o we_o will_v never_o seek_v the_o remedy_n that_o be_v offer_v we_o in_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n nor_o receive_v he_o with_o such_o reverence_n as_o to_o become_v like_o poor_a hungry_a soul_n so_o then_o we_o see_v how_o we_o have_v need_n of_o this_o warning_n that_o we_o must_v be_v gather_v up_o with_o who_o with_o those_o which_o have_v go_v before_o us._n and_o without_o that_o what_o comfort_n shall_v we_o have_v less_o than_o the_o brute_n beast_n have_v for_o if_o we_o think_v upon_o nothing_o but_o death_n we_o go_v all_o into_o rottonnes_n our_o body_n be_v in_o no_o better_a plight_n than_o the_o body_n of_o ass_n and_o dog_n and_o again_o as_o touch_v our_o soul_n we_o must_v needs_o be_v separate_v and_o cut_v off_o from_o god_n and_o feel_v he_o to_o be_v against_o us._n that_o then_o be_v our_o state_n and_o therefore_o whensoever_o we_o hear_v any_o speak_n of_o death_n let_v we_o by_o and_o by_o bethink_v we_o of_o adam_n sin_n of_o the_o corruption_n of_o our_o nature_n and_o of_o all_o the_o vice_n that_o dwell_v in_o we_o which_o serve_v all_o to_o cut_v we_o off_o as_o rot_a member_n from_o god_n house_n and_o kingdom_n when_o we_o have_v bethink_v we_o thereof_o and_o that_o we_o be_v so_o dismay_v as_o we_o know_v not_o where_o to_o become_v for_o the_o terror_n that_o shall_v have_v catch_v hold_n of_o we_o let_v we_o repair_v to_o jesus_n christ_n 11.25_o john_n 11.25_o and_o since_o we_o know_v that_o he_o be_v the_o resurrection_n and_o the_o life_n let_v we_o take_v courage_n to_o offer_v ourselves_o unto_o death_n and_o let_v it_o not_o grieve_v we_o to_o be_v do_v away_o see_v we_o have_v promise_v that_o we_o shall_v be_v restore_v again_o and_o so_o when_o we_o have_v bethink_v we_o of_o all_o the_o nation_n of_o y_fw-fr e_o world_n and_o of_o all_o adam_n offspring_n let_v we_o come_v to_o the_o people_n who_o god_n have_v sanctify_v and_o choose_v to_o be_v his_o heritage_n see_v then_o that_o we_o shall_v be_v gather_v uppe_o with_o the_o righteous_a sure_o it_o be_v a_o good_a

other_o creature_n yet_o do_v god_n take_v we_o and_o keep_v we_o as_o his_o choose_a child_n and_o to_o be_v join_v to_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n who_o be_v name_v the_o first_o bear_v from_o among_o the_o dead_a and_o to_o the_o intent_n we_o shall_v be_v the_o first_o fruit_n of_o the_o resurrection_n and_o of_o the_o quick_a he_o have_v gather_v we_o to_o himself_o and_o match_v we_o

say_v yet_o again_o unto_o moses_n that_o he_o sanctify_v not_o god_n name_n among_o the_o child_n of_o israel_n and_o therefore_o he_o shall_v see_v the_o land_n even_o the_o land_n which_o god_n have_v give_v to_o his_o people_n here_o we_o have_v to_o mark_v that_o it_o be_v not_o enough_o for_o we_o to_o abstain_v from_o do_v evil_a but_o that_o we_o must_v also_o sanctify_v god_n name_n when_o we_o see_v man_n misuse_v it_o through_o their_o lewdness_n and_o in_o very_a deed_n the_o chief_a thing_n that_o god_n require_v â—_o matt._n 6._o â—_o be_v that_o his_o name_n shall_v be_v
