remember_v after_o my_o sickness_n in_o dublin_n aforemention_v what_o fretful_a hateful_a thought_n i_o have_v of_o god_n say_v in_o my_o mind_n i_o will_v do_v this_o or_o that_o in_o despite_n of_o

think_v of_o that_o belong_v to_o he_o and_o then_o conclude_v myself_o damn_v indeed_o and_o that_o i_o be_v sure_a of_o it_o and_o then_o say_v to_o myself_o i_o be_o now_o sure_o i_o have_v commit_v the_o sin_n against_o the_o holy_a ghost_n which_o be_v unpardonable_a and_o shall_v now_o to_o eternity_n be_v torment_v with_o the_o devil_n and_o his_o angel_n and_o this_o sore_o

i_o see_v the_o end_n of_o such_o comfort_n i_o do_v also_o sometime_o endeavour_v to_o divert_v these_o thought_n by_o business_n i_o set_v myself_o about_o but_o be_v sometime_o hot_a at_o work_n i_o shall_v have_v the_o heat_n of_o hell-fire_n thereby_o bring_v to_o my_o mind_n and_o the_o terriblenesse_n of_o that_o represent_v to_o i_o but_o the_o great_a ease_n i_o have_v in_o these_o

that_o though_o i_o know_v that_o be_v my_o portion_n yet_o i_o be_v unsensible_a of_o it_o unless_o at_o sometime_o when_o horror_n will_v violent_o break_v in_o upon_o i_o especial_o at_o such_o time_n as_o i_o be_v force_v to_o go_v to_o hear_v when_o i_o still_o expect_v god_n to_o witness_v against_o i_o by_o some_o sore_a judgement_n from_o heaven_n which_o upon_o every_o dark_a and_o stormy_a day_n especial_o i_o expect_v and_o do_v oft_o time_n judge_v i_o see_v flash_n of_o fire_n come_v upon_o my_o face_n put_v i_o in_o mind_n of_o that_o horrible_a pit_n of_o darkness_n i_o shall_v one_o day_n fall_v into_o and_o many_o time_n when_o i_o go_v to_o bed_n i_o have_v be_v afraid_a to_o sleep_v lest_o i_o shall_v be_v cast_v into_o hell_n ere_o i_o wake_v again_o to_o prevent_v which_o i_o have_v oft_o resolve_v not_o to_o sleep_v only_o sometime_o through_o a_o stupid_a senseless_a frame_n i_o shall_v lie_v down_o and_o sleep_v not_o think_v of_o my_o danger_n but_o when_o i_o wake_v i_o wonder_v i_o be_v not_o in_o hell_n yet_o can_v not_o be_v thankful_a for_o it_o but_o still_o think_v i_o shall_v be_v there_o short_o and_o though_o i_o live_v never_o so_o long_o yet_o to_o be_v there_o at_o last_o will_v swallow_v up_o all_o this_o time_n as_o if_o it_o have_v not_o be_v and_o all_o the_o comfort_n i_o now_o enjoy_v will_v but_o aggravate_v my_o sorrow_n and_o misery_n then_o when_o i_o shall_v be_v deprive_v of_o all_o and_o suffer_v for_o what_o i_o now_o enjoy_v upon_o which_o account_n all_o my_o comfort_n be_v bitter_a to_o i_o and_o when_o i_o taste_v any_o thing_n i_o still_o think_v what_o i_o shall_v taste_v ere_o long_o in_o hell_n which_o make_v i_o hardly_o able_a to_o eat_v my_o meat_n for_o i_o shall_v thus_o reason_v why_o shall_v i_o eat_v and_o drink_v when_o i_o be_o in_o daily_a expectation_n of_o be_v cast_v into_o hell_n and_o then_o be_v that_o scripture_n bring_v to_o mind_n 21._o mind_n esa_n 57.20_o 21._o the_o wicked_a be_v like_o the_o trouble_a sea_n that_o can_v rest_v who_o water_n cast_v up_o mire_n and_o dirt_n there_o be_v no_o peace_n to_o the_o wicked_a and_o many_o time_n when_o i_o have_v be_v at_o work_n sudden_a flash_n of_o hell_n have_v be_v as_o it_o be_v dart_v into_o my_o soul_n so_o that_o i_o have_v run_v out_o of_o the_o room_n where_o i_o be_v and_o will_v have_v run_v out_o of_o the_o lord_n presence_n also_o if_o i_o can_v but_o alas_o my_o foul_a have_v no_o refuge_n to_o fly_v to_o from_o he_o nor_o can_v i_o remember_v that_o i_o have_v a_o heart_n so_o much_o as_o to_o seek_v for_o mercy_n only_o in_o some_o great_a distress_n sometime_o i_o think_v i_o have_v use_v the_o word_n lord_z have_v mercy_n upon_o i_o but_o without_o any_o hope_n or_o expectation_n of_o obtain_v what_o i_o pray_v for_o but_o conclude_v god_n will_v not_o save_v i_o unless_o he_o will_v deny_v himself_o and_o his_o word_n and_o though_o a_o angel_n from_o heaven_n shall_v have_v tell_v i_o of_o mercy_n i_o can_v not_o have_v believe_v it_o be_v so_o confident_a of_o the_o contrary_a and_o therefore_o i_o will_v tell_v those_o that_o endeavour_v to_o fasten_v counsel_n &_o comfort_n upon_o i_o it_o be_v but_o a_o cast_a pearl_n before_o swine_n and_o holy_a thing_n to_o dog_n which_o god_n forbid_v and_o when_o several_a good_a woman_n in_o dublin_n do_v meet_v to_o seek_v the_o lord_n on_o my_o behalf_n i_o think_v sometime_o especial_o once_o in_o mistress_n patient_n house_n i_o smell_v brimstone_n burn_v and_o expect_v nothing_o but_o destruction_n in_o the_o sense_n of_o which_o i_o do_v tremble_n exceed_o out_o of_o that_o deep_a horror_n that_o be_v on_o my_o soul_n but_o still_o i_o get_v no_o sensible_a good_a in_o any_o of_o these_o meeting_n and_o when_o i_o have_v see_v the_o mist_n ascend_v sometime_o that_o mind_v i_o of_o that_o scripture_n where_o it_o be_v say_v 14.11_o say_v rev._n 14.11_o the_o smoke_n of_o their_o torment_n ascend_v up_o for_o ever_o and_o i_o have_v oft_o as_o i_o have_v judge_v see_v michael_n meetinghouse_n in_o dublin_n where_o we_o meet_v to_o hear_v full_a of_o smoke_n all_o which_o i_o judge_v seal_v and_o confirm_v my_o destruction_n i_o do_v also_o remember_v when_o my_o dear_a sister_n allen_n die_v at_o dublin_n in_o ireland_n i_o have_v little_a or_o no_o sense_n of_o that_o with_o other_o like_a heavy_a stroke_n of_o the_o lord_n about_o that_o time_n upon_o divers_a other_o precious_a one_o but_o do_v believe_v they_o be_v take_v away_o for_o my_o sake_n because_o they_o pray_v for_o i_o and_o that_o i_o be_v only_o leave_v to_o fill_v up_o the_o measure_n of_o my_o iniquity_n and_o therefore_o the_o lord_n stop_v many_o of_o their_o mouth_n by_o death_n that_o they_o may_v not_o pray_v any_o more_o for_o i_o but_o that_o i_o may_v be_v leave_v to_o heap_v up_o wrath_n and_o aggravate_v my_o misery_n i_o do_v likewise_o remember_v one_o morning_n particular_o at_o dublin_n when_o i_o be_v in_o bed_n and_o call_v to_o rise_v i_o do_v believe_v very_o i_o see_v grievous_a flash_n of_o lightning_n fly_v in_o my_o face_n which_o put_v i_o in_o strange_a honour_n and_o also_o another_o morning_n see_v the_o sun_n rise_v in_o a_o misty_a frosty_a morning_n very_o red_a i_o have_v that_o scripture_n come_v into_o my_o mind_n 2.31_o mind_n joel_n 2.31_o of_o the_o sun_n be_v turn_v into_o blood_n before_o the_o great_a and_o notable_a day_n of_o the_o lord_n which_o i_o believe_v be_v then_o near_o to_o my_o destruction_n another_o time_n be_v at_o a_o christian_a friend_n mistress_n roe_n house_n in_o dublin_n in_o the_o night_n season_n i_o hear_v a_o voice_n as_o i_o judge_v over_o my_o head_n a_o great_a voice_n to_o which_o i_o hearken_v and_o be_v thereby_o put_v into_o great_a horror_n think_v it_o to_o be_v the_o devil_n come_v to_o fetch_v i_o away_o and_o at_o last_o through_o anguish_n of_o soul_n be_v put_v into_o great_a tremble_a and_o sweat_n by_o reason_n of_o which_o i_o speak_v to_o mistress_n roe_n who_o tell_v i_o it_o be_v the_o people_n that_o lie_v over_o my_o head_n that_o talk_v but_o i_o do_v not_o believe_v she_o but_o still_o think_v it_o be_v the_o devil_n and_o towards_o morning_n i_o hear_v a_o rattle_n of_o chain_n as_o i_o think_v which_o i_o judge_v to_o be_v the_o devil_n haste_v to_o fetch_v i_o away_o with_o great_a rejoice_v that_o they_o have_v get_v i_o then_o i_o ask_v mistress_n ree_n what_o that_o noise_n be_v who_o tell_v i_o it_o be_v only_a people_n open_v shop-window_n but_o that_o satisfy_v not_o i_o but_o i_o remain_v still_o

in_o a_o inexpressible_a horror_n i_o likewise_o remember_v the_o cause_n of_o my_o go_v to_o lie_v at_o mistress_n roe_n be_v to_o get_v out_o of_o the_o room_n i_o lay_v in_o at_o my_o brother_n where_o i_o be_v sensible_a i_o have_v so_o sin_v by_o wicked_a thought_n against_o god_n as_o aforesaid_a from_o who_o presence_n also_o as_o well_o as_o from_o that_o room_n i_o will_v if_o i_o can_v have_v flee_v it_o be_v so_o dreadful_a to_o i_o but_o alas_o my_o fear_n be_v not_o at_o all_o abate_v but_o increase_v by_o go_v thither_o it_o be_v the_o house_n where_o the_o church_n meet_v and_o where_o be_v frequent_a speak_v and_o pray_v at_o which_o i_o still_o think_v the_o lord_n will_v come_v out_o and_o witness_v against_o i_o make_v i_o a_o example_n of_o his_o justice_n in_o the_o sight_n of_o all_o his_o people_n who_o often_o speak_v to_o i_o and_o pray_v for_o i_o i_o do_v believe_v will_v aggravate_v my_o condemnation_n great_o and_o when_o any_o of_o they_o speak_v of_o the_o promise_n to_o i_o it_o be_v a_o great_a terror_n to_o my_o soul_n to_o see_v they_o cast_v such_o pearl_n before_o swine_n to_o who_o they_o do_v not_o belong_v by_o all_o which_o thing_n speak_v to_o i_o i_o be_v keep_v in_o a_o more_o certain_a look_v for_o a_o fearful_a fiery_a indignation_n from_o the_o lord_n to_o destroy_v i_o and_o my_o heart_n be_v the_o more_o enrage_a with_o a_o inveterate_a hatred_n as_o i_o judge_v against_o god_n and_o his_o people_n by_o all_o the_o mean_v use_v about_o i_o and_o after_o all_o these_o thing_n come_v to_o waterford_n with_o my_o

conscience_n and_o heart_n yet_o many_o time_n sore_o terrify_v with_o the_o like_a thought_n as_o aforesaid_a but_o be_v exceed_o glad_a sometime_o that_o i_o be_v forget_v in_o prayer_n as_o i_o think_v and_o then_o do_v believe_v it_o be_v reveal_v to_o they_o that_o pray_v so_o that_o they_o know_v what_o i_o be_v pray_v not_o for_o i_o for_o i_o have_v a_o great_a dread_n on_o my_o heart_n still_o about_o be_v pray_v for_o judge_v it_o hasten_v my_o destruction_n and_o that_o i_o shall_v by_o that_o mean_n be_v make_v a_o fearful_a example_n of_o vengeance_n to_o show_v to_o other_o what_o i_o be_v and_o thus_o it_o continue_v all_o the_o time_n i_o be_v at_o waterford_n no_o word_n speak_v to_o i_o or_o to_o the_o lord_n for_o i_o do_v i_o any_o good_a as_o i_o can_v perceive_v so_o that_o i_o still_o conclude_v god_n can_v not_o lie_v nor_o repent_v therefore_o i_o must_v be_v damn_v and_o that_o it_o be_v but_o in_o vain_a to_o attempt_v the_o contrary_n i_o also_o do_v remember_v when_o we_o come_v to_o sea_n to_o come_v for_o england_n we_o be_v in_o a_o storm_n but_o i_o be_v in_o a_o senseless_a stupid_a condition_n little_o mind_v my_o danger_n all_o the_o

the_o sea_n i_o be_v yet_o under_o all_o these_o mercy_n with_o a_o senseless_a frame_n of_o spirit_n only_o i_o have_v some_o few_o thought_n of_o the_o infinite_a power_n of_o god_n in_o uphold_v all_o thing_n and_o believe_v i_o be_v preserve_v for_o the_o sake_n of_o they_o i_o come_v with_o in_o the_o ship_n but_o come_v into_o the_o town_n of_o minhead_n and_o find_v a_o hand_n of_o

judgement_n of_o god_n against_o sin_n and_o sinner_n that_o live_v under_o such_o rich_a mean_n of_o grace_n as_o they_o here_o in_o england_n do_v but_o leave_v minhead_n and_o come_v towards_o my_o

home_n but_o the_o lord_n will_v bring_v we_o safe_a thither_o yet_o remember_v not_o any_o thankful_a sense_n i_o have_v of_o the_o mercy_n receive_v but_o be_v think_v most_o part_n of_o the_o way_n as_o i_o come_v home_o what_o a_o grief_n i_o shall_v be_v to_o my_o friend_n and_o relation_n again_o yet_o sometime_o a_o little_a sense_n seem_v to_o be_v on_o my_o heart_n of_o the_o mercy_n

of_o her_o danger_n approach_v and_o after_o her_o delivery_n i_o be_v then_o in_o great_a terror_n than_o before_o think_v then_o that_o god_n will_v bring_v swift_a destruction_n upon_o i_o as_o
