one_o remarkable_a accident_n which_o many_o in_o london_n this_o day_n can_v witness_v the_o truth_n of_o what_o i_o write_v thomas_z gun_n by_o name_n be_v the_o man_n who_o for_o gift_n and_o

be_v guilty_a of_o adultery_n and_o that_o for_o a_o long_a time_n deceive_v his_o own_o soul_n and_o the_o poor_a woman_n his_o torment_n for_o which_o can_v not_o be_v satisfy_v till_o he_o take_v a_o pistol_n and_o shot_n himself_o to_o death_n thus_o it_o be_v with_o he_o and_o so_o with_o many_o more_o little_a or_o much_o be_v in_o hell_n yea_o on_o this_o earth_n torment_v though_o nothing_o comparable_a to_o what_o thou_o shall_v be_v at_o the_o day_n of_o christ_n next_o appearance_n again_o thou_o say_v the_o devil_n be_v a_o wicked_a curse_a blasphemer_n against_o god_n and_o all_o that_o be_v good_a yea_o the_o devil_n be_v a_o lie_a murder_a persecutor_n of_o the_o people_n of_o god_n therefore_o man_n be_v not_o the_o devil_n because_o he_o be_v a_o true_a

thousand_o thousand_o make_v a_o show_n and_o a_o talk_n of_o a_o god_n yet_o very_a few_o there_o be_v that_o know_v he_o as_o he_o be_v a_o glorious_a personal_a god_n so_o that_o true_a be_v that_o say_n from_o the_o lord_n in_o isaiah_n 10._o 22._o for_o though_o my_o people_n be_v as_o the_o sand_n of_o the_o sea_n yet_o a_o remnant_n of_o they_o shall_v be_v save_v fear_v not_o my_o little_a

such_o man_n that_o have_v and_o at_o this_o day_n will_v curse_v god_n to_o his_o face_n be_v not_o this_o sufficient_a to_o convince_v thou_o there_o be_v no_o other_o devil_n but_o what_o be_v
