by_o this_o fearful_a hoobub_n or_o whether_o we_o may_v secure_o follow_v that_o which_o we_o have_v hitherto_o practise_v without_o reformation_n of_o our_o life_n it_o be_v find_v by_o experience_n

namely_o sufficient_a cause_n why_o i_o wretch_n shall_v be_v rouse_v up_o and_o pursue_v by_o this_o pernicious_a generation_n &_o if_o i_o shall_v flatter_v myself_o to_o deserve_v to_o be_v free_v from_o their_o tyranny_n if_o i_o look_v unto_o my_o disobedience_n to_o god_n i_o shall_v deceive_v myself_o and_o yet_o my_o imperfection_n perchance_o no_o far_o see_v in_o the_o world_n than_o of_o such_o as_o seem_v to_o stand_v in_o this_o dangerous_a time_n as_o man_n worthy_a for_o their_o honest_a zealous_a &_o religious_a behaviour_n in_o their_o own_o conceit_n to_o be_v justify_v
