so_o soon_o to_o lose_v it_o it_o be_v not_o worth_a esteem_v consider_v sin_n cause_v we_o to_o lose_v a_o great_a good_a than_o that_o can_v be_v as_o the_o favour_n of_o god_n interest_n in_o christ_n a_o guard_n of_o angel_n right_a to_o the_o creature_n etc._n etc._n consider_v the_o uncertainty_n of_o repentance_n thou_o may_v never_o have_v motion_n to_o repent_v after_o thou_o have_v sin_v and_o so_o be_v damn_v consider_v the_o nearness_n of_o death_n to_o thou_o some_o have_v live_v out_o above_o half_a their_o time_n other_o almost_o all_o of_o it_o young_a and_o old_a dye_n sudden_o many_o time_n consider_v one_o moment_n in_o hell_n will_v be_v worse_o than_o all_o the_o pleasure_n in_o the_o world_n do_v good_a though_o it_o shall_v have_v last_v a_o thousand_o year_n

consider_v the_o dignity_n of_o thy_o soul_n it_o be_v more_o worth_a than_o a_o world_n lose_v it_o not_o then_o for_o any_o sin_n consider_v the_o preciousness_n of_o a_o good_a conscience_n which_o be_v a_o continual_a feast_n this_o thou_o lose_v by_o sin_n consider_v thou_o sin_v against_o a_o world_n of_o mercy_n which_o god_n have_v send_v to_o thou_o as_o to_o soul_n body_n good_a name_n

it_o be_v to_o have_v he_o kill_v afresh_o to_o wash_v away_o thy_o sin_n consider_v the_o ancient_a martyr_n and_o worthy_n choose_v rather_o to_o burn_v at_o a_o stake_n than_o they_o will_v sin_n
