the_o grief_n of_o the_o godly_a and_o i_o do_v expect_v if_o their_o confession_n and_o acknowledgement_n be_v true_a it_o will_v be_v full_a as_o broad_a and_o wide_o as_o their_o crime_n three_o i_o be_v observe_v whether_o as_o a_o sign_n of_o true_a repentance_n they_o will_v pull_v down_o their_o old_a totter_a humane_a fabric_n measure_v anew_o with_o the_o golden_a reed_n of_o the_o

sincere_a in_o their_o repentance_n but_o instead_o of_o this_o i_o never_o hear_v of_o as_o much_o as_o a_o private_a acknowledgement_n therefore_o i_o can_v not_o but_o just_o suspect_v that_o their_o judgement_n be_v the_o same_o as_o ever_o and_o though_o they_o do_v in_o word_n give_v we_o almost_o all_o yet_o than_o i_o judge_v their_o design_n be_v deep_a and_o that_o they_o be_v to_o
