sin_n and_o serve_v much_o for_o aggravation_n see_v if_o thou_o have_v not_o sin_v against_o thy_o knowledge_n and_o if_o thou_o have_v do_v so_o thou_o be_v worthy_a of_o and_o shall_v receive_v double_a stripe_n know_v thou_o and_o be_v it_o not_o often_o tell_v thou_o that_o thou_o shall_v keep_v the_o sabbath_n in_o thy_o thought_n and_o discourse_n that_o thou_o shall_v renew_v thy_o repentance_n that_o thou_o shall_v what_o ever_o thy_o other_o employment_n be_v grow_v in_o grace_n and_o in_o the_o knowledge_n of_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n that_o thou_o shall_v apply_v thy_o heart_n unto_o spiritual_a wisdom_n that_o thou_o shall_v not_o only_o hear_v and_o read_v but_o go_v apart_o and_o meditate_v upon_o god_n word_n and_o as_o occasion_n serve_v and_o thy_o ability_n shall_v permit_v to_o speak_v of_o it_o i_o say_v have_v thou_o know_v these_o thing_n and_o have_v they_o be_v ofttimes_o tell_v thou_o and_o yet_o because_o they_o be_v painful_a thou_o have_v

thou_o get_v mercy_n think_v on_o it_o thou_o shall_v not_o find_v it_o so_o easy_a to_o be_v get_v nor_o the_o lord_n so_o easy_a to_o be_v entreat_v god_n child_n find_v it_o hard_o enough_o all_o their_o life_n time_n to_o get_v and_o will_v thou_o get_v mercy_n for_o a_o word_n of_o thy_o mouth_n as_o it_o be_v and_o as_o it_o be_v a_o most_o dangerous_a conclusion_n in_o regard_n of_o thy_o own_o soul_n so_o be_v it_o a_o most_o ungrateful_a and_o unnatural_a conclusion_n in_o regard_n of_o the_o lord_n thy_o god_n to_o say_v that_o because_o he_o be_v good_a and_o gracious_a and_o merciful_a and_o ready_a to_o forgive_v thou_o that_o therefore_o thou_o will_v continue_v to_o sin_n against_o he_o to_o provoke_v he_o to_o wrath_n shall_v thou_o not_o rather_o conclude_v be_v he_o so_o gracious_a indeed_o alas_o that_o ever_o i_o shall_v offend_v he_o i_o will_v no_o more_o do_v so_o by_o his_o grace_n and_o assistance_n be_v it_o not_o a_o wicked_a thing_n for_o a_o man_n to_o use_v another_o so_o to_o wit_n to_o abuse_v his_o lenity_n and_o goodness_n and_o clemency_n and_o kindness_n fie_o upon_o such_o a_o conclusion_n 4._o see_v if_o thou_o have_v sin_v scandalous_o either_o by_o thy_o sin_n be_v a_o evil_a example_n unto_o other_o and_o strengthen_v they_o in_o their_o sin_n whereby_o certain_o thou_o must_v not_o only_o be_v accountable_a for_o thy_o own_o

religion_n or_o else_o by_o thy_o sin_n have_v make_v these_o thou_o have_v have_v to_o do_v with_o to_o take_v such_o a_o prejudice_n at_o thou_o that_o neither_o thy_o word_n nor_o thy_o work_n can_v any_o thing_n further_o their_o edification_n there_o be_v no_o sin_n more_o to_o be_v take_v heed_n to_o then_o this_o scandalous_a sin_v and_o therefore_o be_v careful_a against_o it_o and_o if_o thou_o have_v be_v guilty_a of_o it_o humble_v thyself_o great_o for_o it_o 4._o consider_v the_o mean_n against_o which_o thou_o have_v sin_v now_o under_o mean_n i_o comprehend_v both_o the_o mean_n of_o god_n word_n and_o of_o his_o work_n whereby_o he_o labour_v to_o reclaim_v we_o see_v then_o how_o thou_o have_v sin_v against_o his_o work_n and_o that_o both_o against_o his_o benefit_n and_o favour_n and_o also_o against_o his_o judgement_n and_o affliction_n whereby_o he_o study_v to_o reclaim_v thou_o and_o first_o for_o the_o first_o certain_o this_o be_v no_o small_a aggravation_n of_o thy_o sin_n in_o god_n sight_n that_o thou_o have_v sin_v against_o so_o many_o benefit_n and_o favour_n thus_o we_o see_v the_o lord_n by_o nathan_n aggravate_v david_n sin_n i_o take_v thou_o from_o the_o sheepfold_n when_o thou_o be_v small_a in_o thy_o own_o eye_n i_o make_v thou_o king_n over_o my_o people_n and_o have_v give_v thou_o the_o throne_n of_o thy_o master_n and_o thus_o and_o thus_o have_v i_o do_v unto_o thou_o and_o yet_o thou_o have_v sin_v against_o i_o the_o like_a catalogue_n will_v the_o lord_n present_v thou_o with_o unless_o thou_o prevent_v

such_o a_o measure_n of_o outward_a thing_n appertain_v to_o contentment_n as_o many_o will_v think_v themselves_o well_o deal_v with_o if_o they_o shall_v have_v but_o the_o half_a of_o these_o thing_n i_o have_v keep_v thou_o from_o many_o grievous_a inconvenience_n which_o i_o have_v inflict_v upon_o other_o i_o have_v further_o deliver_v thou_o from_o many_o distress_n and_o carry_v thou_o through_o difficulty_n yea_o i_o have_v do_v so_o and_o so_o unto_o thou_o make_v thou_o eminent_a in_o regard_n of_o many_o other_o and_o yet_o for_o all_o this_o thou_o have_v sin_v against_o i_o thou_o will_v not_o for_o my_o sake_n renounce_v thy_o pleasure_n to_o resist_v such_o a_o corruption_n nor_o thy_o ease_n to_o discharge_v such_o duty_n what_o a_o just_a challenge_n think_v thou_o will_v this_o be_v how_o will_v thy_o own_o conscience_n subscribe_v to_o it_o and_o thy_o countenance_n blush_v at_o it_o consider_v also_o if_o thou_o have_v not_o finned_a against_o the_o
