harm_n and_o provoke_v the_o almighty_a to_o fury_n god_n will_v not_o always_o strive_v with_o man_n 6.3_o but_o his_o day_n shall_v be_v a_o hundred_o and_o twenty_o year_n if_o he_o convert_v in_o

till_o you_o have_v learn_v this_o lesson_n you_o can_v go_v no_o further_o wherefore_o let_v not_o satan_n possess_v you_o with_o that_o madness_n to_o cause_v you_o to_o pass_v and_o let_v slip_v this_o golden_a opportunity_n through_o a_o false_a conceit_n that_o you_o may_v have_v a_o more_o seasonable_a day_n of_o your_o own_o for_o repentance_n hereafter_o gal._n 6.3_o 4._o for_o if_o a_o

show_v you_o far_o that_o the_o work_n be_v half_o do_v if_o this_o be_v do_v if_o we_o can_v but_o learn_v this_o lesson_n and_o now_o all_o that_o i_o shall_v speak_v will_v be_v to_o little_a purpose_n if_o this_o be_v not_o first_o wrought_v if_o it_o be_v already_o wrought_v in_o we_o bless_v be_v we_o our_o condition_n be_v thrice_o happy_a will_v god_n now_o strike_v in_o and_o cause_v we_o to_o return_v to_o himself_o it_o be_v not_o good_a to_o dally_v with_o god_n the_o time_n will_v come_v when_o it_o will_v be_v too_o late_a when_o we_o shall_v wish_v we_o have_v do_v otherwise_o and_o take_v the_o accept_a time_n now_o i_o will_v go_v on_o to_o a_o far_a point_n which_o be_v this_o when_o satan_n can_v prevail_v with_o a_o sinner_n to_o say_v to_o his_o soul_n or_o to_o think_v with_o himself_o i_o will_v do_v it_o hereafter_o or_o i_o will_v at_o the_o day_n of_o death_n when_o he_o can_v prevail_v with_o he_o to_o defer_v it_o and_o leave_v it_o quite_o undo_v for_o the_o present_a then_o he_o will_v give_v way_n to_o his_o do_v a_o little_a to_o it_o but_o it_o shall_v be_v so_o superficial_a and_o on_o such_o false_a ground_n that_o he_o have_v as_o good_a leave_n it_o undo_v for_o satan_n make_v he_o thus_o conclude_v with_o himself_o well_o since_o i_o see_v it_o be_v a_o duty_n so_o necessary_a i_o will_v not_o defer_v i_o will_v not_o put_v it_o off_o to_o a_o hour_n but_o yet_o i_o see_v no_o such_o matter_n require_v in_o conversion_n no_o such_o great_a need_n of_o be_v new_o mould_v but_o now_o in_o the_o point_n of_o conversion_n there_o be_v two_o thing_n to_o be_v think_v on_o 1._o first_o what_o estate_n the_o sinner_n be_v in_o for_o the_o present_a and_o then_o when_o he_o have_v make_v search_n and_o find_v it_o to_o be_v amiss_o than_o the_o next_o thing_n be_v he_o must_v turn_v unto_o god_n

the_o corinthian_n of_o the_o great_a conflict_n that_o he_o have_v in_o 2_o cor._n 11.23_o say_v that_o he_o be_v in_o labour_n abundant_a in_o stripe_n above_o measure_n in_o prison_n frequent_a
