the_o want_n &_o weakness_n of_o grace_n answer_v i_o find_v in_o i_o such_o a_o poor_a and_o weak_a measure_n of_o grace_n that_o at_o time_n i_o make_v question_n whether_o there_o be_v any_o true_a grace_n at_o all_o in_o i_o i_o have_v not_o such_o a_o feel_n of_o faith_n as_o i_o desire_v nor_o of_o that_o joy_n which_o at_o other_o time_n i_o have_v feel_v especial_o at_o my_o first_o

will_v fain_o grieve_v more_o which_o the_o lord_n accept_v of_o for_o if_o there_o be_v first_o a_o 8.12_o a_o 2_o cor._n 8.12_o willing_a mind_n it_o be_v accept_v according_a to_o that_o a_o man_n

and_o less_o than_o my_o sorrow_n for_o worldly_a loss_n yet_o in_o the_o estimation_n of_o my_o mind_n it_o be_v great_a because_o i_o grieve_v for_o my_o sin_n as_o the_o great_a evil_n of_o all_o

all_o and_o thus_o i_o see_v that_o my_o weakness_n in_o grace_n be_v no_o just_a cause_n to_o make_v i_o think_v that_o i_o have_v no_o grace_n no_o not_o in_o the_o least_o measure_n min._n i_o
