for_o better_a understanding_n of_o it_o it_o seem_v that_o testimony_n or_o witness_n be_v a_o word_n which_o can_v well_o be_v understand_v without_o reference_n or_o respect_n to_o some_o other_o

then_o 1_o that_o sinner_n not_o repent_v have_v no_o security_n even_o of_o outward_a estate_n nor_o can_v have_v any_o hart_n to_o seek_v unto_o god_n it_o be_v otherwise_o with_o the_o godly_a

a_o man_n a_o man_n may_v often_o fall_v into_o the_o same_o sin_n 2_o that_o god_n only_o can_v uphold_v they_o they_o who_o desire_v to_o be_v uphold_v by_o god_n must_v lay_v their_o foundation_n

may_v know_v it_o thus_o 1_o it_o always_o will_v be_v busy_a in_o the_o duty_n of_o godliness_n and_o one_o private_a calling_n 2_o it_o be_v glad_a when_o it_o have_v any_o occasion_n to_o do_v
