in_o chain_n eternal_o except_o thy_o soul_n be_v rend_v from_o that_o sin_n as_o well_o as_o from_o any_o other_o thou_o understand_v not_o the_o way_n of_o god_n in_o the_o dispense_n of_o his_o

those_o that_o never_o look_v after_o their_o prayer_n to_o call_v it_o into_o question_n what_o answer_n they_o have_v have_v i_o have_v pray_v to_o god_n but_o have_v i_o get_v any_o answer_n in_o

to_o soul_n in_o all_o your_o prayer_n be_v nothing_o but_o of_o this_o i_o shall_v speak_v afterward_o you_o be_v to_o search_v into_o the_o covenant_n and_o inquire_v after_o the_o saint_n what_o

they_o lay_v the_o weight_n of_o the_o pardon_n of_o their_o sin_n upon_o be_v such_o break_a reed_n that_o it_o will_v make_v a_o man_n amaze_v that_o understand_v what_o the_o worth_n of_o a_o

if_o one_o give_v you_o in_o payment_n silver_n gold_n and_o farthing_n you_o take_v the_o farthing_n and_o do_v not_o tell_v they_o but_o you_o tell_v the_o silver_n and_o the_o gold_n you_o not_o

and_o therefore_o tell_v that_o but_o the_o gold_n you_o not_o only_o tell_v but_o weigh_v it_o because_o you_o have_v a_o great_a esteem_n of_o that_o than_o the_o other_o this_o be_v a_o argument_n may_v convince_v the_o man_n of_o the_o world_n that_o their_o esteem_n of_o earthly_a thing_n be_v more_o than_o of_o heaven_n and_o their_o soul_n because_o they_o labour_v to_o make_v earthly_a

crack_n in_o my_o evidence_n he_o be_v mighty_a careful_a of_o this_o because_o he_o have_v such_o a_o high_a esteem_n of_o his_o worldly_a concern_v but_o how_o do_v it_o appear_v that_o man_n have_v but_o poor_a low_a thought_n about_o the_o pardon_n of_o their_o sin_n because_o they_o content_v themselves_o with_o such_o poor_a mean_a evidence_n for_o have_v they_o a_o high_a esteem_n of_o it_o they_o will_v labour_v to_o make_v pardon_n of_o sin_n sure_a than_o any_o thing_n in_o the_o world_n to_o wind_v up_o all_o those_o that_o know_v what_o pardon_n of_o sin_n be_v how_o do_v they_o

own_o thou_o think_v it_o may_v be_v because_o thou_o can_v put_v a_o man_n off_o with_o this_o reason_n my_o sin_n be_v small_a and_o therefore_o i_o may_v be_v forgive_v they_o because_o they_o be_v
