this_o spiritual_a change_n and_o a_o 2._o second_o reason_n may_v be_v because_o we_o often_o regard_v not_o the_o truth_n at_o the_o first_o second_o or_o three_o time_n urge_v and_o teach_v unto_o

five_o reason_n may_v be_v 5._o because_o we_o work_v as_o we_o understand_v weak_o or_o strong_o when_o we_o work_v well_o we_o must_v have_v thing_n present_a strong_o in_o the_o understanding_n as_o when_o we_o tell_v man_n of_o god_n justice_n omnipresence_n of_o the_o day_n of_o judgement_n of_o death_n and_o the_o like_a the_o lively_a and_o present_a remembrance_n of_o these_o thing_n

lively_a remembrance_n of_o thing_n be_v wrought_v chief_o by_o repetition_n and_o often_o enforce_v the_o same_o thing_n and_o it_o make_v the_o mind_n to_o be_v whole_o take_v up_o therewith_o and_o therefore_o it_o be_v a_o good_a way_n when_o we_o will_v do_v any_o good_a action_n well_o to_o be_v take_v up_o with_o read_v or_o hear_v of_o good_a by_o way_n of_o preparation_n thereunto_o and_o the_o want_n of_o the_o presence_n of_o good_a thing_n in_o our_o mind_n lay_v we_o open_a and_o make_v we_o fit_a for_o all_o company_n and_o occasion_n of_o sin_n in_o the_o six_o and_o last_o place_n 6._o our_o memory_n be_v very_o weak_a to_o remember_v and_o to_o retain_v any_o thing_n that_o be_v good_a since_o the_o fall_n they_o be_v break_v and_o good_a thing_n sink_v through_o they_o as_o water_n through_o a_o sieve_n and_o therefore_o have_v great_a need_n of_o remembrancer_n and_o after_o this_o manner_n have_v god_n deal_v with_o man_n as_o in_o the_o promise_n of_o the_o bless_a seed_n how_o often_o be_v it_o reiterated_a and_o typify_v and_o to_o abraham_n be_v it_o renew_v seven_o time_n so_o god_n to_o david_n often_o renew_v his_o promise_n concern_v the_o

minister_n thereby_o to_o do_v the_o like_a to_o avoid_v tediousness_n repetition_n in_o scripture_n serve_v to_o divers_a end_n sometime_o for_o the_o strong_a aver_n of_o the_o certainty_n thereof_o wherefore_o it_o be_v that_o pharoahs_n dream_n be_v double_v sometime_o for_o emphasis_n sake_n as_o christ_n do_v often_o amen_o amen_n and_o in_o die_v thou_o shall_v die_v and_o the_o like_a phrase_n but_o the_o main_a end_n be_v to_o stir_v up_o we_o and_o our_o affection_n and_o to_o keep_v they_o in_o life_n and_o action_n when_o they_o be_v stir_v up_o therefore_o 2_o pet._n 1.12_o
