ever_o o_o i_o be_v sufficient_o wound_v and_o fall_v a_o weep_n i_o can_v not_o hold_v and_o after_o sermon_n i_o go_v home_o where_o i_o board_v and_o sit_v alone_o cry_v and_o complain_v that_o i_o have_v lose_v my_o time_n and_o at_o that_o time_n i_o take_v up_o a_o purpose_n never_o to_o sleep_v at_o church_n more_o and_o make_v a_o covenant_n with_o it_o which_o i_o think_v to_o this_o day_n i_o observe_v ever_o since_o church_n and_o when_o i_o begin_v as_o at_o first_o i_o be_v often_o tempt_v to_o be_v drowsy_a i_o will_v always_o stand_v and_o hold_v on_o nothing_o and_o cast_v my_o

wherefore_o i_o resolve_v to_o write_v down_o as_o well_o as_o i_o can_v every_o sermon_n i_o hear_v and_o to_o get_v they_o by_o heart_n formal_a and_o to_o say_v every_o night_n one_o sermon_n and_o to_o learn_v out_o of_o a_o book_n for_o i_o know_v no_o better_o yet_o another_o prayer_n for_o morning_n and_o another_o for_o night_n and_o sometime_o for_o noon_n too_o especial_o on_o the_o lord_n day_n so_o that_o my_o task_n be_v now_o double_v sermon_n so_o i_o begin_v to_o write_v down_o the_o sermon_n which_o for_o a_o time_n be_v very_o little_a have_v no_o skill_n to_o write_v fast_o nor_o orderly_a but_o i_o ever_o observe_v the_o doctrine_n and_o will_v write_v down_o the_o reason_n and_o the_o head_n of_o the_o use_v and_o when_o i_o come_v at_o home_n i_o will_v get_v it_o by_o heart_n at_o noon_n that_o which_o i_o hear_v in_o the_o forenoon_n and_o at_o night_n that_o which_o i_o hear_v in_o the_o afternoon_n and_o this_o course_n which_o i_o take_v make_v i_o more_o ready_a at_o night_n when_o my_o father_n repeat_v the_o sermon_n or_o the_o landlord_n where_o i_o board_v for_o they_o both_o do_v it_o be_v very_o godly_a this_o make_v i_o ready_a to_o answer_v when_o we_o be_v ask_v what_o we_o can_v remember_v or_o what_o the_o doctrine_n or_o reason_n night_n or_o use_v be_v than_o any_o other_o and_o this_o course_n i_o take_v customary_o for_o nine_o or_o ten_o year_n together_o long_a after_o i_o come_v from_o cambridge_n every_o night_n to_o repeat_v sermon_n to_o myself_o alone_o or_o rather_o to_o say_v they_o by_o heart_n as_o due_o as_o i_o go_v to_o bed_n the_o lordsday_n night_n that_o sermon_n which_o i_o hear_v in_o the_o forenoon_n day_n the_o monday_n night_n so_o call_v that_o which_o i_o hear_v on_o the_o last_o lord_n day_n in_o the_o afternoon_n the_o tuesday_n night_n wednesday_n night_n thursday_n night_n always_o leave_v to_o say_v by_o heart_n sermon_n i_o hear_v a_o month_n 2._o month_n 12._o month_n and_o so_o as_o i_o increase_v in_o year_n for_o 2_o or_o 3_o or_o 4_o 5_o or_o 10._o year_n before_o and_o i_o will_v usual_o get_v up_o the_o old_a and_o of_o long_a stand_n and_o such_o as_o i_o have_v almost_o forget_v or_o not_o late_o recover_v my_o memory_n with_o so_o that_o by_o this_o mean_v i_o can_v remember_v many_o sermon_n and_o such_o as_o be_v long_o ago_o preach_v perfect_o now_o on_o friday_n night_n i_o repeat_v as_o i_o do_v on_o the_o lord_n day_n night_n always_o day_n and_o on_o saturday_n night_n and_o monday_n night_n always_o alike_o but_o you_o must_v observe_v if_o sermon_n fall_v out_o in_o the_o week_n day_n as_o on_o fast_n or_o otherwise_o than_o i_o be_v wont_a to_o pick_v out_o tuesday_n night_n wednesday_n or_o thursday_n night_n and_o so_o keep_v on_o the_o order_n and_o be_v fit_a for_o fresh_a sermon_n on_o the_o lord_n day_n and_o the_o lord_n lead_v i_o on_o into_o this_o orderly_a way_n i_o know_v not_o how_o by_o himself_o without_o any_o creature_n direction_n on_o the_o earth_n so_o much_o do_v i_o plot_v out_o for_o salvation_n by_o such_o mean_n as_o these_o and_o to_o redeem_v my_o time_n yet_o you_o must_v know_v have_v so_o much_o to_o do_v every_o night_n i_o sometime_o begin_v to_o myself_o whilst_o i_o s●te_n in_o the_o chimney_n corner_n before_o supper_n and_o usual_o leave_v nothing_o but_o my_o sermon_n to_o repeat_v for_o my_o bed_n and_o my_o prayer_n by_o my_o bedside_n morning_n and_o evening_n but_o this_o i_o must_v say_v year_n from_o this_o form_n i_o learn_v much_o of_o god_n and_o goodness_n for_o what_o i_o do_v at_o first_o for_o fear_n of_o hell_n i_o do_v at_o last_o out_o of_o love_n to_o heaven_n and_o of_o late_a to_o god_n and_o christ_n as_o if_o it_o be_v without_o heaven_n ☞_o and_o hereby_o i_o be_v not_o only_o able_a to_o tell_v many_o man_n sermon_n together_o and_o it_o may_v be_v ten_o year_n after_o they_o be_v preach_v but_o also_o able_a though_o chief_o by_o high_a mean_n as_o i_o may_v show_v afterward_o to_o preach_v at_o 18_o or_o 19_o year_n of_o age_n as_o i_o do_v in_o huntingtonshire_n if_o not_o soon_o to_o the_o amazement_n of_o many_o but_o to_o the_o table_n talk_v of_o more_o well_o thus_o you_o hear_v how_o formal_a i_o be_v and_o yet_o as_o i_o may_v say_v i_o be_v but_o fear_v not_o love_v into_o this_o strictness_n of_o religion_n and_o i_o remember_v then_o i_o shall_v have_v be_v glad_a if_o any_o occasion_n happen_v that_o there_o be_v no_o sermon_n on_o the_o lord_n day_n or_o if_o i_o hear_v they_o not_o which_o i_o dare_v not_o
