we_o find_v it_o more_o easy_a and_o not_o whole_o inconsistent_a with_o our_o sin_n and_o hence_o it_o come_v to_o pass_v that_o we_o never_o repent_v to_o purpose_n because_o we_o persuade_v ourselves_o we_o have_v do_v so_o when_o we_o have_v not_o we_o be_v sensible_a that_o we_o be_v guilty_a of_o many_o sin_n and_o who_o be_v not_o so_o that_o believe_v what_o he_o read_v in_o

move_v we_o to_o fall_v down_o on_o our_o knee_n and_o confess_v they_o to_o god_n and_o to_o beg_v his_o pardon_n for_o they_o and_o to_o promise_v we_o will_v no_o more_o commit_v they_o and_o it_o may_v be_v we_o be_v then_o in_o good_a earnest_n and_o serious_o purpose_n to_o perform_v our_o promise_n and_o we_o receive_v the_o sacrament_n upon_o it_o and_o so_o seal_v up_o our_o repentance_n
