and_o hinder_v our_o main_a duty_n but_o let_v it_o be_v our_o great_a care_n not_o to_o fail_v in_o those_o great_a thing_n which_o be_v comprehend_v under_o the_o two_o great_a commandment_n of_o

in_o that_o particular_a and_o from_o that_o time_n to_o break_v off_o that_o sin_n which_o we_o have_v then_o repent_v of_o and_o have_v ask_v forgiveness_n of_o god_n for_o for_o if_o after_o we_o

whenever_o we_o know_o do_v amiss_o will_v beat_v we_o with_o many_o stripe_n and_o handle_v we_o more_o severe_o than_o the_o great_a enemy_n we_o have_v in_o the_o world_n so_o that_o next_o to_o the_o dreadful_a sentence_n of_o the_o great_a day_n every_o man_n have_v reason_n to_o dread_v the_o sentence_n of_o his_o own_o conscience_n god_n indeed_o be_v great_a than_o our_o heart_n and_o know_v all_o thing_n but_o under_o he_o we_o have_v the_o great_a reason_n to_o fear_v the_o judgement_n of_o our_o own_o conscience_n for_o nothing_o but_o that_o can_v give_v we_o comfort_n and_o nothing_o can_v create_v so_o much_o trouble_v and_o disquiet_v to_o we_o and_o though_o the_o judgement_n of_o our_o conscience_n be_v not_o always_o the_o judgement_n of_o god_n yet_o we_o have_v

of_o out_o conscience_n be_v free_a from_o any_o compulsion_n no_o body_n can_v force_v it_o from_o we_o whether_o we_o will_v or_o no_o and_o make_v we_o to_o pass_v sentence_n against_o ourselves_o whether_o we_o see_v reason_n for_o it_o or_o not_o second_o the_o sentence_n of_o our_o own_o conscience_n be_v very_o likely_a to_o be_v impartial_a at_o lest_o not_o too_o hard_o on_o the_o severe_a side_n because_o man_n natural_o love_v themselves_o and_o be_v too_o apt_a to_o be_v favourable_a in_o their_o own_o case_n all_o the_o world_n can_v bribe_v a_o man_n against_o himself_o there_o be_v no_o man_n who_o mind_n be_v not_o either_o distemper_v by_o melancholy_a or_o delude_v by_o false_a principle_n that_o be_v apt_a to_o be_v credulous_a against_o himself_o and_o his_o own_o interest_n and_o peace_n three_o the_o judgement_n which_o our_o conscience_n pass_v upon_o our_o own_o action_n be_v upon_o the_o most_o intimate_a and_o certain_a knowledge_n of_o they_o and_o of_o their_o true_a motive_n and_o end_n we_o may_v easy_o be_v deceive_v in_o our_o judgement_n of_o the_o action_n of_o other_o man_n and_o may_v think_v they_o to_o be_v much_o better_a or_o worse_o than_o in_o truth_n they_o be_v because_o we_o can_v certain_o tell_v with_o what_o mind_n they_o be_v do_v and_o what_o circumstance_n there_o may_v be_v to_o excuse_v or_o aggravate_v they_o how_o strong_a the_o temptation_n be_v or_o how_o weak_a the_o judgement_n of_o he_o that_o be_v seduce_v by_o it_o into_o error_n and_o folly_n but_o we_o be_v conscious_a to_o all_o the_o secret_a
