in_o we_o if_o we_o do_v not_o diligent_o and_o thorough_o try_v our_o estate_n and_o examine_v ourselves_o thus_o we_o see_v how_o we_o ought_v to_o examine_v ourselves_o as_o christ_n say_v take_v

and_o a_o heir_n apparent_a of_o the_o kingdom_n of_o glory_n but_o obedience_n perform_v to_o this_o one_o commandment_n of_o examination_n in_o the_o right_a manner_n which_o i_o have_v before_o

the_o world_n to_o come_v and_o so_o much_o for_o the_o four_o general_a point_n &_o for_o the_o doctrine_n itself_o the_o use_n thereof_o come_v now_o to_o be_v deliver_v chap._n 16._o first_o we_o be_v teach_v to_o take_v heed_n that_o we_o do_v not_o come_v to_o the_o lord_n table_n without_o serious_a &_o sound_a examination_n of_o ourselves_o how_o can_v we_o know_v that_o we_o go_v
