the_o understanding_n of_o all_o as_o may_v appear_v as_o first_o of_o god_n take_v no_o notice_n of_o his_o saint_n 2._o for_o if_o god_n do_v take_v notice_n of_o all_o action_n there_o will_v be_v a_o present_a ephect_n of_o blessing_n and_o curse_v as_o in_o time_n past_a neither_o can_v either_o saint_n or_o devil_n prove_v he_o do_v take_v any_o notice_n of_o he_o at_o all_o but_o as_o he_o do_v vain_o imagine_v because_o his_o thought_n do_v sometime_o accuse_v he_o when_o he_o do_v evil_a and_o excuse_v he_o when_o he_o do_v well_o 3._o but_o thus_o far_o i_o do_v acknowledge_v that_o god_n do_v take_v notice_n and_o mind_n particular_a saint_n here_o on_o earth_n that_o be_v when_o god_n have_v any_o work_n to_o do_v for_o a_o particular_a saint_n or_o any_o particular_a devil_n than_o god_n take_v particular_a notice_n of_o saint_n or_o devil_n if_o it_o be_v one_o or_o more_o according_a to_o the_o pleasure_n of_o his_o will._n 4._o but_o no_o man_n now_o upon_o earth_n can_v true_o say_v that_o god_n have_v mind_v or_o take_v notice_n of_o he_o but_o myself_o only_o also_o i_o do_v acknowledge_v that_o god_n do_v take_v notice_n and_o mind_n every_o particular_a

god_n power_n be_v to_o be_v see_v and_o to_o be_v take_v notice_n of_o when_o he_o shall_v raise_v the_o man_n again_o and_o that_o law_n in_o his_o heart_n shall_v quicken_v again_o by_o god_n power_n and_o shall_v stand_v as_o god_n to_o judge_v to_o justify_v or_o condemn_v the_o conscience_n of_o every_o man._n 6._o so_o that_o if_o a_o man_n have_v not_o true_a faith_n in_o his_o heart_n to_o justify_v his_o person_n in_o the_o sight_n of_o god_n while_o on_o earth_n to_o free_v he_o from_o that_o law_n of_o sin_n and_o death_n write_v in_o his_o heart_n then_o in_o the_o

unto_o you_o rebel_n as_o god_n do_v unto_o cain_n if_o thou_o do_v well_o shall_v not_o thou_o be_v reward_v and_o if_o thou_o do_v evil_a sin_n lie_v at_o the_o door_n of_o thy_o conscience_n for_o

lie_v at_o the_o door_n of_o his_o conscience_n 8._o therefore_o it_o be_v that_o paul_n do_v thank_v god_n that_o he_o be_v deliver_v from_o the_o law_n of_o sin_n and_o death_n and_o so_o do_v every_o man_n that_o be_v deliver_v from_o that_o law_n write_v in_o his_o heart_n and_o john_n say_v if_o thy_o heart_n condemn_v thou_o not_o than_o have_v thou_o confidence_n to_o the_o throne_n of_o grace_n but_o if_o thy_o heart_n condemn_v thou_o god_n be_v great_a than_o thy_o heart_n and_o know_v all_o thing_n that_o be_v if_o the_o law_n write_v in_o a_o man_n heart_n do_v condemn_v a_o
