somewhat_o dark_a be_v helpful_a to_o humiliation_n 4._o take_v heed_n of_o think_v that_o if_o your_o life_n pay_v for_o your_o mother_n you_o do_v thereby_o make_v satisfaction_n to_o god_n for_o though_o that_o be_v some_o satisfaction_n to_o the_o law_n of_o the_o land_n yet_o not_o to_o god_n who_o be_v only_o satisfy_v by_o the_o death_n of_o his_o son_n jesus_n christ_n which_o

further_o you_o in_o the_o way_n of_o salvation_n especial_o look_v much_o into_o those_o book_n as_o treat_v of_o conversion_n repentance_n and_o the_o last_o thing_n as_o death_n judgement_n heaven_n and_o hell_n it_o will_v do_v well_o also_o to_o get_v such_o book_n as_o have_v be_v set_v forth_o of_o penitent_a malefactor_n as_o bishop_n atherton_n nathaniel_n butler_n thomas_n savage_n and_o other_o who_o be_v cast_v into_o prison_n for_o great_a crime_n be_v through_o divine_a mercy_n bring_v to_o repentance_n and_o leave_v the_o world_n not_o without_o hope_n of_o

on_o the_o guilt_n of_o your_o last_o great_a sin_n and_o the_o former_a that_o lead_v you_o to_o it_o waste_v no_o thought_n about_o the_o world_n or_o worldly_a thing_n think_v much_o how_o god_n

be_v too_o eager_a to_o make_v you_o great_a and_o rich_a in_o this_o world_n think_v also_o of_o the_o strict_a justice_n and_o severe_a vengeance_n of_o god_n who_o wrath_n be_v a_o consume_a fire_n and_o also_o who_o be_v a_o terrible_a avenger_n of_o innocent_a blood_n which_o cry_v for_o vengeance_n think_v also_o what_o be_v like_a to_o become_v of_o the_o body_n and_o soul_n of_o that_o

without_o cease_v for_o mercy_n pardon_v and_o peace_n cry_v unto_o god_n for_o a_o break_a and_o contrite_a heart_n and_o say_v often_o with_o a_o bleed_a heart_n as_o david_n psal_n 51.14_o deliver_v i_o from_o blood_n guiltiness_n o_o god_n let_v prayer_n be_v your_o continual_a exercise_n above_o all_o thing_n pray_v for_o a_o save_a sight_n and_o sense_n of_o sin_n and_o of_o your_o
