the_o conscience_n of_o so_o much_o mercy_n and_o love_v so_o far_o abuse_v and_o so_o unkind_o recompense_v be_v that_o which_o confound_v a_o penitent_a sinner_n as_o the_o wife_n of_o a_o kind_a

undutifulness_n and_o treachery_n to_o such_o a_o husband_n but_o now_o the_o hypocrite_n be_v not_o at_o all_o trouble_a or_o afflict_v in_o spirit_n for_o sin_n as_o it_o be_v a_o act_n of_o unkindness_n to_o god_n 4._o shame_n o_o {non-roman}_o as_o philosopher_n have_v define_v it_o be_v the_o fear_n of_o a_o just_a reproof_n not_o simple_o the_o fear_n of_o a_o reproof_n but_o the_o fear_n of_o a_o just_a reproof_n that_o be_v servile_a this_o filial_a the_o child_n of_o god_n be_v ashamed_a of_o the_o very_a guiltiness_n and_o of_o that_o which_o may_v be_v just_o lay_v to_o his_o charge_n the_o hypocrite_n not_o so_o p_o 30._o saul_n be_v not_o ashamed_a of_o his_o sin_n but_o he_o be_v ashamed_a that_o samuel_n shall_v reprove_v he_o before_o the_o elder_n of_o the_o

a_o hypocrite_n be_v ashamed_a q_o 26._o as_o a_o thief_n be_v ashamed_a when_o he_o be_v find_v mark_v that_o when_o he_o be_v find_v a_o thief_n be_v not_o ashamed_a of_o his_o sin_n but_o because_o he_o be_v find_v in_o it_o and_o so_o bring_v to_o a_o shameful_a end_n 5._o when_o the_o cause_n of_o god_n be_v in_o hand_n a_o true_a penitent_n be_v so_o ashamed_a of_o himself_o that_o he_o
