take_v heed_n of_o sin_n of_o all_o sin_n which_o will_v blot_v your_o evidence_n and_o make_v you_o of_o abject_a cowardly_a spirit_n so_o that_o instead_o of_o fetch_v comfort_n from_o approach_v to_o god_n this_o will_v fill_v you_o with_o horror_n and_o make_v you_o run_v from_o he_o as_o a_o enemy_n and_o then_o nothing_o in_o the_o whole_a creation_n can_v relieve_v you_o but_o yet_o believe_o live_v upon_o the_o mediator_n by_o he_o to_o have_v all_o breach_n heal_v betwixt_o god_n and_o your_o soul_n and_o by_o his_o spirit_n to_o have_v your_o soul_n heal_v of_o all_o their_o

remember_v that_o as_o your_o happiness_n consist_v in_o communion_n with_o god_n so_o this_o be_v not_o perfect_o to_o be_v enjoy_v till_o after_o death_n and_o judgement_n wherefore_o live_v
