now_o i_o shall_v come_v to_o the_o last_o and_o most_o deplorable_a portion_n of_o my_o discourse_n to_o speak_v particular_o to_o you_o that_o be_v doom_v to_o die_v and_o to_o persuade_v you_o to_o endeavour_v to_o behave_v yourselves_o so_o that_o though_o your_o temporal_a calamity_n be_v unavoidable_a yet_o your_o god_n may_v not_o still_o cover_v the_o eye_n of_o his_o mercy_n from_o you_o or_o be_v deaf_a to_o your_o request_n for_o pity_n on_o your_o poor_a soul_n and_o true_o i_o confess_v i_o scarce_o know_v where_o to_o begin_v or_o how_o to_o find_v out_o word_n mournful_a enough_o for_o your_o condition_n i_o be_o sure_a if_o you_o look_v into_o your_o own_o conscience_n every_o one_o of_o you_o can_v say_v i_o well_o remember_v the_o time_n when_o thou_o o_o god_n be_v near_o unto_o i_o by_o thy_o grace_n and_o the_o good_a motion_n of_o thy_o spirit_n that_o bless_a spirit_n which_o will_v have_v be_v a_o lamp_n unto_o my_o foot_n and_o a_o lantern_n unto_o

compassionate_o to_o help_v you_o to_o regain_v the_o assistance_n of_o that_o bless_a spirit_n so_o needful_a for_o you_o in_o your_o present_a circumstance_n i_o will_v if_o the_o former_a part_n of_o my_o discourse_n have_v full_o bend_v your_o mind_n to_o good_a counsel_n before_o it_o be_v evident_o too_o late_o endeavour_v to_o show_v you_o a_o glimpse_n of_o mercy_n though_o after_o all_o my_o wish_n and_o endeavour_n i_o must_v acknowledge_v that_o there_o be_v but_o one_o whole_a virtue_n you_o be_v now_o capable_a to_o practice_n or_o so_o to_o practise_v as_o you_o yourselves_o may_v judge_v of_o the_o truth_n of_o it_o but_o yet_o it_o be_v a_o virtue_n that_o will_v supply_v the_o place_n of_o a_o great_a many_o other_o and_o perhaps_o by_o the_o mercy_n of_o god_n atone_v for_o the_o breach_n of_o all_o the_o rest_n but_o if_o you_o willing_o fail_v in_o this_o and_z next_z to_o the_o grace_n of_o god_n it_o depend_v whole_o on_o your_o will_n i_o think_v you_o be_v undo_v for_o ever_o and_o this_o virtue_n be_v sincerity_n which_o abhor_v any_o evasive_a art_n or_o shift_n which_o exclude_v all_o hypocrisy_n all_o double_a deal_n all_o feign_a pretence_n or_o

and_o let_v i_o beseech_v you_o to_o yield_v to_o their_o advice_n and_o trust_v those_o who_o desire_n be_v the_o salvation_n of_o your_o soul_n rather_o than_o those_o who_o have_v do_v all_o they_o can_v to_o destroy_v they_o and_o the_o ground_n of_o this_o virtue_n be_v honesty_n of_o heart_n uprightness_n of_o intention_n and_o god_n who_o search_v the_o heart_n and_o see_v into_o the_o close_a recess_n there_o know_v when_o you_o act_n from_o this_o inward_a principle_n and_o when_o not_o and_o will_v certain_o deal_v with_o you_o according_o and_o he_o that_o be_v scarce_o able_a to_o do_v any_o thing_n and_o yet_o refuse_v to_o do_v the_o little_a he_o can_v sullen_o lie_v down_o in_o misery_n and_o willing_o accept_v of_o his_o destruction_n but_o if_o this_o be_v not_o enough_o to_o say_v as_o i_o know_v not_o what_o be_v enough_o to_o rescue_v you_o from_o the_o blindness_n and_o hardness_n of_o heart_n a_o long_a train_n of_o iniquity_n have_v involve_v you_o in_o i_o will_v yet_o speak_v my_o mind_n more_o plain_o to_o you_o for_o your_o circumstance_n will_v not_o admit_v palliation_n or_o delay_n i_o know_v no_o way_n to_o heaven_n for_o you_o but_o by_o
