of_o our_o many_o …_o s_o and_o provocation_n against_o god_n and_o his_o son_n jes●●_n christ_n and_o 2._o our_o present_a distress_n and_o danger_n the_o fruit_n of_o that_o guiltiness_n and_o

first_o by_o our_o deed_n and_o action_n or_o word_n for_o we_o profess_v and_o declare_v before_o god_n and_o the_o world_n our_o unfeigned_a desire_n to_o be_v humble_v now_o here_o three_o thing_n

ourselves_o viz._n for_o these_o namely_o 1._o that_o we_o have_v not_o as_o we_o ought_v value_v the_o inestimable_a benefit_n of_o the_o gospel_n and_o 2._o that_o we_o have_v not_o labour_v for_o the_o purity_n and_o power_n thereof_o and_o 3._o that_o we_o have_v not_o endeavour_v to_o receive_v christ_n in_o our_o heart_n nor_o to_o walk_v worthy_a of_o he_o in_o our_o life_n and._n iii_o why_o must_v we_o humble_v ourselves_o for_o these_o sin_n because_o they_o be_v the_o cause_n of_o other_o sin_n and_o transgression_n so_o much_o abound_v among_o we_o and_o second_o our_o

example_n of_o a_o real_a reformation_n and_o second_o the_o extent_n of_o this_o purpose_n and_o desire_n to_o wit_n i._o it_o must_v be_v both_o in_o public_a and_o private_a and_o ii_o in_o all_o duty_n we_o owe_v to_o god_n and_o man_n and_o three_o the_o scope_n or_o end_n of_o this_o purpose_n and_o desire_v of_o amendment_n which_o be_v i._o that_o the_o lord_n may_v turn_v away_o his_o wrath_n and_o heavy_a indignation_n from_o we_o and_o ii_o that_o he_o may_v establish_v these_o church_n and_o kingdom_n in_o truth_n and_o peace_n and_o thus_o much_o for_o the_o matter_n of_o the_o theological_a part_n of_o this_o covenant_n now_o second_o the_o next_o thing_n in_o this_o part_n be_v the_o manner_n thereof_o to_o wit_n that_o every_o branch_n clause_n part_n and_o particle_n of_o this_o covenant_n be_v perform_v and_o observe_v sincere_o real_o faithful_o and_o constant_o and_o three_o next_o in_o order_n follow_v the_o mean_n whereby_o we_o may_v be_v enable_v to_o
