punishable_a by_o the_o law_n of_o man_n be_v abominable_a and_o god_n be_v incense_v against_o they_o but_o what_o will_v every_o wicked_a thought_n sink_v the_o soul_n into_o hell_n unless_o god_n pardon_v it_o and_o be_v god_n so_o just_a and_o so_o severe_a and_o will_v he_o punish_v all_o sinner_n and_o must_v i_o answer_v for_o all_o my_o petty_a oath_n if_o i_o shall_v be_v condemn_v for_o my_o word_n and_o thought_n it_o be_v a_o strange_a thing_n well_o i_o will_v inquire_v further_o of_o the_o matter_n it_o be_v marvellous_a hard_o if_o it_o be_v true_a many_o a_o man_n have_v be_v thus_o and_o go_v no_o further_a for_o the_o present_a well_o then_o second_o he_o resolve_v to_o hear_v the_o minister_n again_o and_o he_o fall_v to_o read_v and_o confer_v with_o other_o to_o try_v if_o it_o be_v so_o as_o the_o minister_n before_o reveal_v unto_o he_o and_o common_o he_o go_v to_o hear_v the_o same_o minister_n again_o and_o by_o this_o mean_n what_o with_o hear_v and_o read_v &_o confer_v he_o see_v the_o thing_n he_o doubt_v of_o be_v too_o certain_a and_o that_o the_o thing_n be_v question_v before_o be_v without_o all_o doubt_n the_o law_n be_v just_a the_o word_n be_v plain_a if_o god_n be_v true_a this_o be_v true_a the_o wage_n of_o sin_n be_v death_n yea_o of_o every_o sinful_a thought_n and_o he_o that_o believe_v not_o be_v condemn_v already_o so_o that_o now_o the_o sinner_n begin_v to_o consider_v that_o the_o condemnation_n threaten_v sleep_v not_o and_o that_o god_n have_v he_o in_o chase_n and_o that_o punishment_n that_o god_n threaten_v shall_v be_v execute_v upon_o he_o soon_o or_o latter_o thus_o the_o soul_n from_o a_o general_a amazement_n come_v to_o see_v that_o it_o be_v so_o and_o by_o this_o mean_v he_o be_v surprise_v with_o a_o sudden_a fear_n of_o spirit_n in_o expectation_n and_o suspicion_n of_o what_o be_v discover_v leave_v god_n shall_v lay_v it_o upon_o he_o in_o so_o much_o that_o the_o soul_n say_v what_o if_o god_n

may_v damn_v i_o for_o aught_o i_o know_v and_o what_o if_o god_n shall_v damn_v i_o this_o be_v the_o reason_n of_o those_o phrase_n of_o scripture_n we_o have_v not_o receive_v the_o spirit_n of_o bondage_n to_o fear_v again_o 1●_n the_o spirit_n that_o show_v our_o bondage_n and_o thence_o come_v this_o fear_n hence_o it_o be_v that_o the_o apostle_n say_v to_o timothy_n god_n have_v not_o give_v we_o the_o spirit_n of_o fear_n ●7_n that_o be_v the_o spirit_n of_o bondage_n that_o work_v fear_n &_o therefore_o the_o lord_n say_v by_o moses_n thy_o life_n shall_v hang_v in_o doubt_n before_o thou_o and_o thou_o shall_v fear_v day_n and_o night_n thou_o shall_v have_v no_o assurance_n of_o thy_o life_n it_o be_v with_o a_o soul_n in_o this_o fear_n as_o it_o be_v with_o

brave_a against_o the_o god_n of_o israel_n then_o come_v a_o hand_n write_v against_o he_o on_o the_o wall_n and_o when_o he_o see_v it_o his_o thought_n trouble_v he_o and_o his_o face_n begin_v to_o gather_v paleness_n and_o his_o knee_n knock_v one_o against_o another_o as_o if_o he_o shall_v say_v sure_o there_o be_v some_o strange_a evil_n appoint_v for_o i_o and_o with_o that_o his_o heart_n begin_v to_o tremble_v and_o shake_v just_o so_o it_o be_v with_o this_o fear_n he_o that_o run_v riot_n in_o the_o way_n of_o wickedness_n and_o think_v to_o despise_v god_n spirit_n &_o to_o

for_o this_o be_v a_o note_n of_o the_o child_n of_o the_o devil_n to_o hate_v god_n servant_n and_o minister_n now_o when_o a_o wicked_a man_n hear_v this_o he_o say_v the_o word_n of_o god_n be_v profest_o speak_v against_o he_o and_o these_o be_v my_o sin_n and_o these_o be_v the_o judgement_n and_o plague_n threaten_v against_o they_o and_o therefore_o why_o may_v not_o i_o be_v damn_v and_o why_o may_v i_o not_o be_v plague_v and_o thus_o his_o heart_n be_v full_a of_o fear_n &_o he_o begin_v to_o reason_n with_o himself_o what_o be_v this_o the_o nature_n of_o sin_n and_o be_v these_o the_o judgement_n of_o god_n denounce_v against_o sinful_a creature_n why_o then_o what_o if_o god_n shall_v lay_v these_o judgement_n upon_o my_o soul_n and_o who_o know_v but_o god_n will_v do_v so_o to_o i_o this_o day_n pluck_v i_o out_o of_o the_o land_n of_o the_o live_n i_o be_o sure_a my_o sin_n be_v such_o and_o god_n judgement_n be_v such_o threaten_a against_o they_o and_o therefore_o why_o may_v not_o this_o be_v and_o when_o he_o go_v to_o bed_n he_o reason_v thus_o what_o if_o i_o never_o rise_v more_o and_o when_o he_o go_v from_o home_n what_o if_o i_o never_o

be_v thus_o pester_v and_o plague_v with_o the_o fear_n of_o god_n wrath_n that_o follow_v a_o man_n like_o a_o jailor_n he_o be_v hinder_v still_o that_o he_o can_v sin_v so_o free_o but_o still_o the_o wrath_n of_o god_n pursue_v he_o and_o say_v do_v you_o not_o fear_v that_o god_n may_v take_v you_o away_o in_o the_o act_n of_o sin_v and_o in_o the_o midst_n of_o your_o chamber_a and_o

when_o the_o heart_n can_v be_v rid_v of_o this_o fear_n the_o lord_n begin_v to_o let_v fly_v against_o the_o soul_n of_o a_o sinner_n and_o discharge_v that_o evil_a upon_o he_o which_o be_v former_o fear_v and_o affliction_n enter_v into_o the_o heart_n the_o nature_n of_o fear_n be_v to_o fear_v a_o evil_a to_o come_v now_o the_o lord_n make_v the_o soul_n to_o see_v that_o it_o be_v

justice_n but_o mercy_n &_o patience_n will_v come_v in_o and_o plead_v for_o vengeance_n against_o the_o sinner_n and_o that_o will_v be_v the_o forest_n plague_n of_o all_o when_o you_o appear_v before_o god_n what_o will_v you_o expect_v you_o will_v call_v for_o mercy_n to_o save_v you_o and_o for_o patience_n to_o bear_v with_o you_o no_o no_o say_v mercy_n justice_n lord_n i_o have_v be_v

and_o patience_n shall_v be_v a_o accuser_n of_o it_o and_o goodness_n shall_v call_v for_o vengeance_n against_o it_o the_o three_o ground_n three_o as_o we_o must_v consider_v god_n mercy_n that_o have_v be_v abuse_v and_o the_o justice_n of_o god_n that_o have_v be_v provoke_v so_o consider_v the_o nature_n of_o your_o sin_n and_o the_o heinousness_n of_o they_o sin_n be_v not_o a_o trick_n of_o youth_n or_o a_o matter_n of_o merriment_n but_o a_o breach_n of_o the_o law_n of_o god_n and_o therefore_o it_o be_v good_a for_o a_o man_n in_o this_o case_n to_o examine_v every_o

the_o law_n and_o look_v into_o the_o glass_n thereof_o and_o then_o bundle_n up_o all_o your_o sin_n thus_o so_o many_o sin_n against_o god_n himself_o in_o the_o first_o commandment_n against_o his_o worship_n in_o the_o second_o against_o his_o name_n in_o the_o three_o against_o his_o sabbath_n in_o the_o four_o commandment_n nay_o all_o our_o thought_n word_n and_o action_n all_o of_o they_o have_v be_v sin_n able_a to_o sink_v our_o soul_n to_o the_o bottom_n of_o hell_n bundle_n up_o your_o sin_n &_o lay_v one_o upon_o the_o heart_n and_o another_o upon_o the_o conscience_n and_o then_o it_o will_v break_v your_o back_n those_o small_a infirmity_n you_o make_v nothing_o of_o &_o those_o sin_n you_o make_v slight_a of_o and_o make_v a_o trick_n of_o youth_n if_o you_o will_v bestow_v your_o mind_n a_o little_a serious_o you_o will_v see_v they_o to_o be_v far_o otherwise_o every_o sin_n deserve_v death_n the_o wage_n of_o sin_n be_v death_n not_o he_o only_o that_o

you_o have_v a_o hand_n in_o the_o shed_n of_o the_o blood_n of_o christ_n dwell_v here_o a_o little_a and_o consider_v it_o and_o you_o shall_v see_v the_o point_n clear_a if_o there_o be_v any_o

and_o a_o matter_n of_o merriment_n of_o loose_a talk_n and_o wicked_a do_n well_o you_o have_v a_o part_n in_o the_o crucify_a of_o christ._n when_o you_o be_v go_v think_v of_o this_o and_o as_o
