all_o the_o heart_n with_o all_o the_o mind_n with_o all_o the_o soul_n upon_o this_o condition_n in_o deed_n that_o we_o do_v all_o his_o commandment_n and_o never_o break_v one_o of_o they_o he_o put_v we_o in_o good_a assurance_n of_o everlasting_a life_n and_o sure_o he_o will_v not_o fail_v we_o if_o we_o perform_v all_o those_o covenant_n but_o if_o so_o be_v we_o break_v but_o one_o of_o they_o we_o then_o forfeit_v our_o hold_n &_o incur_v the_o penalty_n of_o the_o breach_n of_o the_o covenant_n which_o be_v the_o everlasting_a wrath_n of_o god_n 10._o for_o so_o do_v god_n say_v curse_v be_v every_o one_o which_o do_v etc._n etc._n the_o life_n everlasting_a be_v as_o you_o will_v say_v let_v to_o farm_n to_o we_o to_o have_v and_o to_o hold_v to_o we_o and_o our_o posterity_n for_o ever_o upon_o this_o condition_n that_o we_o perform_v all_o such_o and_o such_o covenant_n as_o be_v contain_v in_o the_o book_n of_o god_n do_v these_o say_v god_n and_o thou_o shall_v have_v life_n but_o provide_v always_o that_o if_o thou_o break_v any_o one_o of_o they_o once_o in_o all_o thy_o life_n then_o accurse_v be_v thou_o from_o my_o face_n here_o be_v indeed_o heaven_n promise_v to_o we_o if_o we_o do_v god_n commandment_n but_o then_o we_o must_v do_v all_o and_o not_o some_o one_o or_o else_o we_o forfeit_v all_o now_o let_v all_o the_o man_n upon_o the_o earth_n come_v and_o stand_v before_o the_o judgement_n seat_n of_o god_n and_o let_v i_o see_v among_o they_o all_o that_o ever_o have_v be_v or_o ever_o be_v to_o the_o end_n of_o the_o world_n let_v i_o see_v if_o any_o one_o can_v be_v find_v that_o ever_o have_v do_v all_o these_o commandment_n of_o god_n that_o he_o may_v just_o challenge_v his_o right_n and_o interest_n in_o heaven_n by_o it_o let_v i_o see_v if_o such_o a_o one_o can_v be_v find_v only_o one_o except_v jesus_n christ_n god_n and_o man_n the_o scripture_n and_o word_n of_o god_n flat_o condemn_v all_o of_o we_o of_o sin_n 22._o and_o therefore_o can_v we_o challenge_v no_o right_a nor_o interest_n in_o heaven_n by_o our_o deed_n 23._o because_o we_o have_v not_o do_v all_o 8._o but_o rather_o our_o interest_n for_o our_o deed_n be_v of_o right_n in_o hell_n because_o we_o have_v break_v some_o one_o 40._o yea_o all_o 9_o and_o all_o again_o even_o the_o best_a of_o we_o all_o we_o must_v not_o then_o seek_v to_o claim_v heaven_n by_o our_o deed_n but_o we_o must_v be_v careful_a how_o to_o be_v deliver_v from_o hell_n which_o we_o have_v deserve_v by_o our_o deed_n thus_o you_o see_v then_o it_o will_v not_o avail_v to_o allege_v one_o or_o two_o good_a deed_n before_o god_n no_o nor_o twenty_o thousand_o unless_o thou_o bring_v the_o full_a performance_n of_o the_o deed_n of_o the_o

payment_n before_o god_n see_v one_o of_o our_o evil_a deed_n even_o the_o least_o which_o we_o do_v or_o think_v condemn_v we_o to_o hell_n we_o can_v not_o seek_v life_n then_o in_o our_o work_n because_o we_o be_v not_o able_a to_o perform_v all_o 20._o and_o never_o offend_v and_o that_o be_v that_o the_o apostle_n so_o often_o say_v that_o by_o the_o deed_n of_o the_o law_n 15._o no_o man_n can_v be_v save_v that_o the_o law_n work_v death_n bring_v the_o knowledge_n of_o sin_n work_v wrath_n can_v not_o give_v life_n etc._n etc._n because_o we_o do_v not_o fulfil_v it_o this_o will_v then_o seem_v for_o no_o answer_n before_o god_n 20._o to_o say_v i_o have_v sin_v but_o i_o have_v do_v so_o many_o good_a deed_n for_o the_o recompense_n thereof_o 23._o for_o he_o answer_v out_o of_o his_o own_o word_n that_o the_o reward_n of_o sin_n be_v death_n and_o he_o will_v take_v no_o other_o recompense_n but_o that_o which_o he_o himself_o have_v set_v down_o and_o therefore_o we_o must_v look_v that_o that_o may_v be_v careful_o seek_v thus_o then_o good_a brethren_n in_o view_v the_o true_a and_o right_a debt_n which_o we_o owe_v to_o god_n for_o our_o sin_n it_o bring_v to_o nought_o all_o forge_a debt_n of_o man_n brain_n for_o see_v the_o curse_n of_o god_n everlasting_a death_n and_o damnation_n be_v the_o just_a punishment_n which_o god_n have_v set_v down_o for_o our_o sin_n and_o all_o our_o fasting_n mass_n pilgrimage_n pardon_n scourge_n mans-merit_n wilful_a poverty_n watch_n prayer_n alm_n deed_n purgatory_n will_v not_o serve_v to_o recompense_n god_n because_o the_o punishment_n be_v far_o great_a than_o all_o these_o and_o a_o thousand_o such_o like_a and_o yet_o herein_o good_a brethren_n i_o will_v not_o have_v you_o take_v i_o as_o though_o i_o do_v speak_v against_o fast_v pray_v and_o alm_n deed_n do_v i_o do_v not_o mean_v so_o the_o word_n of_o god_n straight_o charge_v we_o both_o to_o fast_o pray_v and_o exercise_v ourselves_o not_o only_o in_o alm_n deed_n do_v but_o also_o in_o all_o other_o kind_n of_o well_o do_v and_o the_o lord_n know_v we_o be_v too_o slack_a in_o such_o matter_n but_o i_o shall_v have_v

god_n command_v they_o to_o be_v do_v but_o here_o only_o i_o tell_v you_o out_o of_o the_o word_n of_o god_n that_o these_o and_o all_o the_o good_a deed_n that_o you_o do_v can_v serve_v for_o no_o part_n of_o the_o least_o recompense_n to_o god_n for_o one_o of_o your_o least_o sin_n for_o the_o least_o deserve_v everlasting_a death_n you_o see_v then_o it_o be_v a_o great_a matter_n to_o satisfy_v god_n they_o to_o bring_v in_o a_o company_n of_o good_a deed_n see_v our_o least_o evil_a deed_n have_v the_o threat_n of_o god_n everlasting_a curse_n that_o debt_n must_v be_v satisfy_v or_o else_o the_o lord_n our_o god_n will_v never_o be_v satisfy_v the_o lord_n will_v not_o accept_v our_o own_o forge_a debt_n but_o he_o will_v have_v the_o true_a debt_n answer_v this_o be_v a_o great_a matter_n and_o deep_o to_o be_v weigh_v good_a brethren_n that_o we_o may_v understande_v the_o depth_n of_o our_o salvation_n to_o be_v more_o weighty_a than_o it_o be_v general_o account_v this_o make_v man_n so_o careless_a of_o their_o salvation_n as_o common_a they_o be_v because_o they_o dream_v the_o price_n of_o sin_n to_o be_v so_o vile_a that_o a_o certain_a pine_a of_o the_o body_n will_v satisfy_v god_n for_o it_o or_o that_o a_o little_a holy-water_n will_v wash_v it_o away_o or_o certain_a deed_n do_v or_o certain_a prayer_n say_v will_v please_v god_n for_o it_o they_o do_v not_o way_n that_o the_o debt_n for_o sin_n be_v god_n curse_n and_o condemnation_n and_o sure_o now_o in_o these_o our_o day_n in_o the_o time_n of_o so_o great_a light_n of_o the_o gospel_n the_o people_n be_v marvellous_o ignorant_a of_o their_o salvation_n general_o they_o know_v no_o other_o way_n to_o be_v save_v but_o by_o their_o good_a deed_n and_o yet_o they_o be_v void_a of_o they_o too_o god_n know_v and_o hereof_o come_v that_o common_a say_n frame_v in_o the_o time_n of_o darkness_n and_o continue_v still_o among_o we_o that_o we_o must_v carry_v nothing_o with_o we_o but_o our_o good_a deed_n and_o our_o bad_a and_o where_o be_v christ_n jesus_n then_o 3._o if_o he_o be_v not_o in_o our_o heart_n we_o shall_v never_o come_v to_o life_n eternal_a if_o

we_o down_o to_o hell_n this_o will_v not_o then_o serve_v before_o our_o god_n to_o bring_v in_o our_o good_a deed_n for_o recompense_n of_o the_o debt_n we_o owe_v which_o be_v the_o very_a wrath_n of_o god_n we_o must_v then_o yet_o look_v further_o what_o we_o have_v to_o say_v for_o ourselves_o and_o lay_v in_o for_o answer_v of_o the_o matter_n we_o go_v on_o yet_o further_o and_o will_v

that_o we_o may_v more_o safe_o lie_v and_o continue_v still_o in_o our_o
most_o senseless_a security_n and_o wilful_a wretchedness_n and_o blockishness_n we_o flatter_v and_o soothe_v up_o yourselves_o with_o the_o mercy_n of_o god_n and_o because_o we_o hear_v that_o

which_o he_o have_v appoint_v for_o all_o sin_n in_o all_o man_n as_o he_o be_v also_o a_o merciful_a god_n notwithstanding_o when_o he_o have_v appoint_v a_o mean_a to_o save_v from_o this_o curse_n
