the_o bottom_n and_o let_v i_o advise_v you_o to_o this_o when_o your_o soul_n be_v wrought_v upon_o by_o any_o reproof_n or_o admonition_n take_v that_o truth_n and_o labour_n to_o maintain_v the_o

as_o it_o be_v sin_n and_o let_v thy_o soul_n be_v more_o affect_v with_o the_o vileness_n of_o sin_n then_o of_o any_o other_o hardship_n whatsoever_o as_o thus_o suppose_v thy_o heart_n be_v

come_v now_o sin_n be_v worse_a than_o shame_n therefore_o look_v up_o to_o heaven_n &_o say_v oh_o my_o heart_n do_v shake_v with_o shame_n but_o sin_n be_v far_o worse_a for_o what_o if_o the_o

be_v worst_a of_o all_o this_o be_v certain_a there_o be_v no_o evil_a the_o soul_n fear_n or_o find_v but_o sin_n be_v the_o cause_n of_o it_o but_o the_o separation_n of_o the_o soul_n from_o the_o

be_v any_o vile_a wretch_n under_o heaven_n we_o be_v they_o second_o a_o thorough_a resolution_n against_o their_o sin_n and_o a_o hatred_n of_o the_o same_o as_o if_o they_o have_v say_v we_o be_v resolve_v to_o do_v any_o thing_n whatsoever_o it_o be_v we_o care_v not_o so_o we_o may_v thwart_v our_o sin_n the_o last_o thing_n express_v be_v a_o sequestration_n of_o the_o soul_n from_o this_o

howsoever_o these_o man_n do_v see_v themselves_o miserable_a yet_o they_o do_v not_o throw_v off_o all_o &_o say_v man_n and_o brethren_n there_o be_v no_o hope_n for_o we_o therefore_o we_o will_v hear_v no_o more_o but_o see_v we_o must_v go_v to_o hell_n we_o will_v take_v our_o pleasure_n while_o we_o live_v here_o in_o the_o world_n while_o we_o may_v and_o if_o we_o must_v be_v damn_v we_o will_v be_v damn_v for_o some_o thing_n no_o these_o people_n have_v some_o hope_n that_o they_o shall_v find_v mercy_n the_o lord_n bruise_v the_o heart_n but_o he_o do_v not_o break_v it_o the_o
