if_o we_o shall_v pass_v day_n and_o week_n and_o month_n without_o account_v our_o receipt_n and_o expense_n every_o cunning_a chapman_n abroad_o will_v overreach_v we_o &_o every_o false_a servant_n at_o home_n may_v rob_v we_o while_o we_o think_v on_o no_o harm_n nor_o perceive_v how_o or_o wherein_o we_o be_v wrong_v now_o there_o be_v no_o chapman_n so_o crafty_a to_o deceive_v as_o the_o devil_n be_v nor_o any_o servant_n so_o false_a to_o his_o master_n as_o our_o own_o heart_n be_v to_o we_o and_o therefore_o if_o we_o pass_v day_n and_o week_n and_o month_n yea_o and_o year_n too_o without_o examine_v our_o conscience_n and_o call_v our_o heart_n to_o account_v as_o most_o of_o we_o do_v it_o be_v no_o marvel_n if_o we_o decay_v in_o goodness_n every_o day_n till_o at_o length_n we_o prove_v bankrupt_n nay_o rather_o it_o be_v a_o wonder_n if_o we_o shall_v long_o subsist_v without_o be_v utter_o undo_v cease_v then_o to_o marvel_v that_o there_o be_v so_o little_a conscience_n in_o the_o world_n so_o long_o as_o we_o know_v that_o there_o be_v no_o more_o examine_v of_o the_o conscience_n among_o man_n 2._o we_o may_v observe_v here_o a_o reason_n why_o god_n do_v many_o time_n lay_v cross_n upon_o we_o and_o though_o we_o pray_v and_o fast_o and_o call_v for_o mercy_n yet_o find_v not_o that_o ease_n nor_o that_o deliverance_n which_o we_o expect_v for_o if_o examination_n be_v so_o effectual_a for_o remove_v of_o god_n judgement_n as_o have_v be_v show_v then_o certain_o if_o god_n anger_n do_v continue_v upon_o we_o and_o his_o hand_n be_v stretch_v out_o still_o it_o be_v a_o evident_a sign_n that_o we_o have_v not_o judge_v ourselves_o nor_o erect_v a_o tribunal_n for_o the_o conscience_n within_o we_o as_o in_o duty_n and_o in_o wisdom_n we_o shall_v have_v do_v thus_o the_o prophet_n threaten_v the_o jew_n with_o judgement_n because_o no_o man_n repent_v he_o of_o his_o wickedness_n 8.6_o jerem._n 8.6_o say_v what_o have_v i_o do_v imply_v that_o as_o pardon_n can_v be_v expect_v without_o repentance_n so_o repentance_n can_v be_v hope_v for_o without_o examination_n and_o question_v with_o our_o soul_n and_o therefore_o we_o need_v not_o marvel_v that_o god_n judgement_n be_v continue_v upon_o we_o see_v we_o never_o take_v care_n to_o pass_v judgement_n upon_o ourselves_o 3._o we_o may_v hereby_o see_v how_o it_o come_v to_o pass_v that_o many_o man_n have_v gross_a and_o conspicuous_a fault_n which_o themselves_o discern_v not_o though_o every_o child_n abroad_o can_v point_v at_o they_o and_o display_v they_o for_o if_o examination_n be_v so_o good_a a_o mean_n to_o represent_v our_o sin_n as_o in_o a_o glass_n unto_o we_o then_o they_o which_o see_v not_o their_o open_a sin_n be_v not_o accustom_v to_o make_v use_n of_o this_o mean_n and_o therefore_o as_o when_o we_o see_v a_o man_n come_v abroad_o with_o some_o notable_a deformity_n about_o his_o face_n we_o may_v conelude_v that_o that_o man_n have_v not_o late_o look_v himself_o in_o his_o glass_n so_o if_o we_o see_v a_o man_n blind_a in_o judge_v of_o his_o own_o sin_n which_o be_v to_o other_o as_o conspicuous_a as_o the_o spot_n in_o a_o man_n face_n we_o may_v build_v upon_o it_o that_o man_n do_v not_o use_v to_o look_v himself_o in_o the_o glass_n of_o his_o conscience_n and_o by_o examination_n to_o take_v a_o view_n what_o his_o deformity_n be_v 4._o we_o may_v hence_o gather_v matter_n of_o encouragement_n to_o break_v through_o all_o difficulty_n and_o to_o shake_v off_o our_o wont_a drowsiness_n that_o we_o may_v with_o alacrity_n and_o perseverance_n go_v thorough_a with_o this_o work_n for_o if_o examination_n be_v so_o necessary_a for_o repentance_n &_o reformation_n and_o so_o effectual_a to_o breed_v we_o comfort_n in_o our_o great_a agony_n &_o to_o avert_v god_n judgement_n for_o our_o sin_n then_o every_o wise_a man_n will_v conclude_v that_o this_o be_v a_o work_n as_o necessary_a as_o his_o daily_a food_n for_o say_v that_o a_o man_n care_v not_o for_o grace_n and_o amendment_n which_o be_v a_o most_o desperate_a and_o graceless_a resolution_n yet_o say_v a_o man_n care_v not_o for_o these_o be_v there_o any_o man_n live_v that_o will_v not_o be_v glad_a of_o some_o comfort_n when_o he_o lie_v a_o die_a or_o will_v not_o labour_v to_o be_v free_v from_o the_o plague_n that_o god_n pour_v upon_o unrepentant_a sinner_n let_v we_o then_o but_o serilous_o mind_v these_o gracious_a effect_n of_o a_o strict_a account_v with_o our_o soul_n and_o i_o hope_v we_o shall_v not_o prove_v so_o graceless_a as_o to_o refuse_v our_o own_o mercy_n and_o wilful_o to_o cast_v away_o those_o precious_a soul_n which_o christ_n have_v purchase_v at_o so_o dear_a a_o rate_n i_o beseech_v then_o every_o christian_a that_o either_o desire_v heaven_n or_o fear_v hell_n that_o if_o he_o have_v be_v negligent_a in_o this_o duty_n heretofore_o he_o now_o at_o length_n begin_v a_o due_a and_o serious_a performance_n of_o it_o and_o even_o double_a his_o future_a care_n that_o he_o may_v redeem_v his_o former_a negligence_n remember_v withal_o if_o still_o he_o go_v on_o notwithstanding_o all_o admonition_n that_o sextius_n and_o seneca_n and_o plato_n and_o pythagoras_n heathen_a man_n that_o be_v wont_v to_o examine_v themselves_o every_o day_n will_v rise_v up_o in_o judgement_n against_o slothful_a christian_n that_o pass_v on_o day_n by_o day_n without_o ever_o take_v account_n of_o their_o do_n yea_o we_o may_v consider_v further_o that_o even_o ourselves_o shall_v rise_v up_o against_o ourselves_o at_o the_o last_o judgement_n and_o by_o our_o care_n for_o our_o state_n in_o the_o world_n condemn_v our_o carelessness_n for_o the_o state_n of_o our_o soul_n for_o if_o we_o know_v it_o to_o be_v so_o needful_a for_o our_o worldly_a state_n to_o keep_v a_o account_n of_o our_o expense_n and_o receipt_n what_o excuse_n can_v we_o have_v for_o ourselves_o that_o we_o have_v for_o many_o day_n and_o week_n never_o take_v any_o account_n of_o our_o life_n and_o conscience_n methinks_v every_o such_o thought_n shall_v pierce_v the_o heart_n of_o any_o christian_n and_o therefore_o have_v i_o touch_v they_o that_o we_o may_v be_v at_o last_o inward_o touch_v with_o a_o feel_n of_o our_o own_o want_n and_o desire_v of_o god_n that_o he_o will_v open_v our_o eye_n that_o we_o may_v see_v what_o be_v behooveful_a for_o we_o and_o inflame_v our_o heart_n that_o we_o may_v follow_v after_o it_o finis_fw-la
