the_o body_n through_o some_o extraordinary_a repletion_n have_v get_v some_o great_a surfeit_n not_o so_o much_o to_o the_o weaken_n of_o nature_n as_o to_o the_o threaten_n of_o imminent_a death_n and_o therefore_o require_v rather_o some_o strong_a purgation_n than_o comfortable_a and_o cordial_a medecine_n then_o the_o soul_n also_o be_v bring_v to_o some_o extraordinary_a sin_n be_v rather_o to_o be_v bore_v and_o pierce_v with_o the_o denounce_v of_o god_n judgement_n than_o otherwise_o but_o because_o we_o will_v deal_v more_o plain_o &_o less_o confuse_o it_o be_v good_a in_o our_o

and_o after_o that_o this_o visitation_n be_v not_o so_o much_o a_o sign_n of_o god_n wrath_n and_o anger_n as_o a_o seal_n of_o his_o love_n and_o favour_n in_o that_o it_o be_v not_o either_o

not_o to_o be_v within_o the_o compass_n of_o thing_n recoverable_a add_v a_o second_o and_o sore_a grief_n unto_o their_o former_a wherefore_o as_o these_o man_n seem_v to_o be_v half_o heal_v when_o any_o man_n of_o knowledge_n can_v be_v bring_v who_o by_o experience_n have_v cure_v the_o like_a malady_n in_o like_a degree_n in_o other_o so_o then_o the_o fearful_a soul_n be_v not_o a_o little_a

how_o safe_a have_v it_o be_v to_o have_v deal_v more_o bitter_o and_o dwell_v more_o vehement_o on_o the_o conscience_n of_o this_o caytise_n now_o to_o attain_v some_o discretion_n in_o cure_v this_o wound_a spirit_n we_o must_v learn_v wise_o to_o judge_v both_o of_o the_o person_n afflict_v and_o of_o the_o nature_n of_o his_o affliction_n first_o we_o must_v note_v whether_o it_o be_v
