to_o maintain_v a_o name_n to_o live_v and_o keep_v up_o a_o profession_n of_o religion_n require_v more_o labour_n and_o pain_n than_o they_o be_v willing_a to_o bestow_v upon_o it_o but_o thus_o you_o see_v when_o a_o person_n or_o people_n may_v be_v say_v to_o be_v weary_a of_o god_n the_o second_o question_n shall_v be_v whence_o come_v it_o to_o pass_v that_o a_o person_n or_o people_n be_v weary_a of_o god_n and_o that_o this_o be_v the_o general_a frame_n of_o the_o church_n and_o people_n of_o god_n sometime_o but_o this_o will_v require_v a_o very_a large_a discourse_n and_o i_o must_v leave_v it_o to_o some_o other_o opportunity_n use_v 1._o of_o examination_n have_v we_o not_o then_o great_a reason_n to_o examine_v ourselves_o narrow_o and_o impartial_o whether_o we_o be_v

church_n in_o new-testament_n time_n on_o who_o more_o of_o light_n grace_n spirit_n be_v shed_v forth_o have_v be_v most_o unworthy_o weary_a of_o the_o bless_a god_n and_o what_o be_v we_o that_o we_o shall_v plead_v any_o privilege_n or_o think_v ourselves_o secure_v from_o such_o a_o sinful_a frame_n of_o spirit_n as_o this_o be_v i_o know_v we_o have_v a_o great_a opinion_n of_o ourselves_o we_o be_v ready_a to_o think_v god_n have_v hardly_o such_o another_o people_n in_o the_o world_n as_o his_o people_n in_o new-england_n hence_o it_o will_v hardly_o sink_v into_o many_o man_n heart_n that_o god_n shall_v leave_v new-england_n and_o give_v up_o his_o people_n and_o interest_n here_o into_o the_o hand_n of_o adversary_n that_o be_v ready_a enough_o to_o stretch_v forth_o their_o

there_o be_v a_o number_n of_o very_a choice_n people_n among_o we_o very_o dear_a to_o god_n for_o who_o we_o fare_v the_o better_a at_o this_o day_n and_o i_o do_v indeed_o hope_v that_o god_n be_v very_o unwilling_a to_o break_v up_o house_n among_o we_o and_o remove_v from_o we_o very_o loath_a to_o sell_v his_o people_n for_o nought_o when_o he_o be_v not_o like_a to_o increase_v his_o
