the_o lord_n do_v make_v heaven_n earth_n sea_n and_o all_o creature_n and_o also_o man_n and_o therefore_o i_o understand_v that_o god_n make_v i_o yet_o i_o be_v young_a i_o be_v still_o vain_a and_o run_v about_o and_o i_o like_v to_o do_v act_n of_o youth_n and_o vanity_n and_o lust_n as_o other_o do_v and_o i_o go_v to_o pawwave_v among_o other_o and_o these_o thing_n i_o love_v thorough_o and_o they_o grow_v in_o my_o heart_n and_o have_v nourishment_n there_o and_o especial_o lust_n if_o i_o cut_v my_o hair_n it_o be_v with_o respect_n to_o lust_n to_o please_v woman_n if_o i_o have_v long_a hair_n it_o be_v with_o respect_n to_o lust_n and_o all_o i_o do_v be_v with_o respect_n to_o lust_n and_o woman_n when_o there_o be_v meeting_n drink_n sport_n they_o respect_v lust_n and_o these_o thing_n i_o perfect_o love_v when_o the_o minister_n come_v to_o teach_v we_o he_o teach_v and_o i_o come_v to_o meeting_n but_o i_o come_v to_o look_v upon_o woman_n i_o understand_v not_o what_o he_o teach_v sometime_o i_o come_v and_o understand_v nothing_o at_o all_o only_o i_o look_v on_o woman_n about_o two_o year_n after_o i_o begin_v to_o understand_v what_o the_o minister_n preach_v i_o understand_v that_o scripture_n iam._n 1._o he_o that_o doubt_v be_v like_o a_o wave_n of_o the_o sea_n drive_v of_o the_o wind_n and_o toss_v and_o if_o any_o man_n lack_v wisdom_n let_v he_o ask_v it_o of_o god_n this_o i_o understand_v yet_o i_o only_o understand_v it_o but_o it_o be_v very_o hard_o to_o believe_v afterward_o i_o hear_v out_o of_o gen._n 6._o that_o god_n speak_v concerning_o man_n i_o will_v destroy_v man_n who_o i_o have_v make_v because_o god_n see_v that_o the_o way_n of_o man_n be_v corrupt_a before_o he_o and_o this_o trouble_a i_o and_o again_o in_o the_o same_o chapter_n it_o be_v say_v that_o god_n see_v that_o the_o iniquity_n of_o man_n be_v great_a upon_o the_o earth_n and_o that_o every_o imagination_n of_o the_o thought_n of_o his_o heart_n be_v only_o evil_a continual_o this_o trouble_a i_o for_o i_o see_v the_o root_n of_o sin_n in_o my_o heart_n yet_o it_o be_v hard_a to_o believe_v again_o in_o that_o 6._o of_o gen._n god_n rebuke_v that_o sin_n in_o man_n which_o be_v my_o sin_n and_o then_o my_o heart_n be_v trouble_v sometime_o my_o heart_n say_v it_o be_v better_a to_o run_v wild_a as_o i_o do_v before_o then_o to_o pray_v to_o god_n for_o if_o now_o i_o sin_n or_o commit_v lust_n i_o shall_v be_v punish_v or_o put_v in_o prison_n but_o if_o i_o run_v wild_a i_o have_v liberty_n to_o sin_n without_o danger_n but_o i_o be_v ashamed_a of_o such_o thought_n and_o repent_v but_o yet_o i_o doubt_v after_o half_a a_o year_n i_o hear_v the_o minister_n preach_v this_o that_o christ_n his_o death_n be_v of_o infinite_a value_n but_o our_o death_n be_v little_a worth_n god_n be_v satisfy_v with_o the_o death_n of_o christ_n and_o promise_v to_o pardon_v our_o sin_n for_o christ_n his_o sake_n if_o we_o believe_v in_o christ_n we_o deserve_v to_o die_v but_o christ_n stand_v in_o our_o stead_n and_o die_v for_o we_o and_o so_o save_v we_o from_o death_n next_o time_n the_o minister_n come_v he_o ask_v what_o i_o remember_v of_o this_o i_o now_o speak_v of_o and_o i_o do_v remember_v it_o and_o do_v remember_v it_o to_o this_o day_n and_o i_o desire_v to_o pray_v to_o god_n as_o long_o as_o i_o live_v i_o believe_v christ_n die_v for_o sinner_n but_o i_o doubt_v concerning_o myself_o then_o i_o hear_v this_o promise_n if_o you_o repent_v and_o believe_v
