be_v matth._n 11.28_o come_v unto_o i_o all_o you_o that_o be_v weary_a and_o heavy_a lade_v and_o i_o will_v give_v you_o rest_n and_o therefore_o i_o now_o see_v myself_o weary_a with_o my_o own_o

my_o poor_a soul_n from_o the_o eye_n of_o a_o just_a and_o holy_a god_n through_o some_o fear_n and_o as_o i_o hope_v with_o great_a humiliation_n although_o not_o so_o great_a as_o i_o will_v have_v have_v it_o with_o some_o hope_n that_o the_o lord_n will_v meet_v i_o and_o bless_v i_o i_o approach_v to_o the_o solemn_a banquet_n where_o i_o do_v not_o only_o taste_v and_o sip_v a_o little_a

may_v more_o and_o more_o get_v into_o christ_n and_o more_o out_o of_o myself_o and_o now_o you_o have_v hear_v all_o that_o the_o lord_n have_v out_o of_o his_o abundant_a grace_n enable_v i_o

be_v in_o it_o through_o the_o pride_n or_o ignorance_n of_o my_o own_o heart_n oh_o i_o do_v earnest_o again_o beg_v of_o god_n that_o for_o christ_n sake_n he_o will_v look_v upon_o what_o i_o have_v do_v so_o as_o to_o pardon_v all_o that_o be_v amiss_o and_o that_o he_o will_v in_o his_o due_a time_n open_v my_o eye_n to_o see_v my_o error_n and_o to_o amend_v they_o and_o now_o i_o do_v
