be_v a_o great_a sin_n and_o a_o grievous_a judgement_n a_o great_a sin_n rom._n 2.5_o but_o thou_o after_o thy_o hard_a and_o impenitent_a heart_n treasure_v up_o unto_o thyself_o wrath_n against_o

second_o motive_n the_o soon_o we_o labour_v after_o this_o disposition_n the_o more_o easy_o in_o likelihood_n we_o shall_v attain_v unto_o it_o when_o a_o heart_n have_v be_v long_o harden_v with_o

yet_o such_o a_o issue_n must_v needs_o put_v we_o on_o in_o it_o these_o be_v the_o motive_n now_o we_o proceed_v to_o the_o mean_n of_o a_o contrite_a and_o humble_a spirit_n mean_n 1._o prayer_n to_o god_n in_o the_o best_a manner_n we_o can_v it_o be_v he_o that_o must_v bruise_v our_o hard_a and_o stony_a heart_n ezek._n 36.26_o i_o will_v take_v away_o the_o stony_a heart_n out_o of_o

and_o judgement_n for_o the_o bruise_n of_o man_n heart_n when_o he_o send_v any_o great_a affliction_n upon_o we_o let_v we_o not_o stand_v out_o against_o he_o but_o join_v with_o he_o when_o he_o go_v a_o bout_n to_o humble_v we_o let_v we_o labour_n to_o humble_v ourselves_o as_o saul_n afterward_o call_v paul_n act_n 9.6_o tremble_a and_o astonish_v say_v lord_n what_o will_v thou_o have_v

the_o gospel_n 1._o the_o law_n by_o reveal_v of_o sin_n and_o the_o woeful_a consequent_n of_o it_o and_o so_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n cooperate_a there_o be_v cause_v a_o servile_a fear_n and_o
