the_o remembrance_n of_o some_o foul_a evil_a past_a which_o accuse_v the_o heart_n of_o man_n and_o therefore_o man_n must_v make_v sure_a their_o repentance_n and_o judge_v themselves_o for_o

that_o desire_v from_o his_o heart_n to_o live_v in_o no_o sin_n and_o unto_o this_o rule_n i_o must_v add_v the_o care_n of_o a_o upright_o &_o unrebukeable_a conversation_n it_o be_v a_o
