when_o guilty_a of_o foul_a sin_n or_o great_a decay_n of_o zeal_n to_o retain_v mueh_a confidence_n of_o their_o good_a state_n but_o rather_o to_o remember_v from_o whence_o they_o be_v fall_v and_o to_o repent_v and_o do_v their_o first_o work_n because_o they_o may_v be_v easy_o mistake_v about_o the_o truth_n of_o grace_n when_o there_o have_v be_v but_o little_a proof_n of_o it_o but_o
