of_o one_o two_o or_o five_o talent_n comparative_o that_o all_o people_n may_v be_v faithful_a to_o it_o the_o least_o measure_n the_o least_o appearance_n be_v of_o a_o save_a nature_n if_o man_n will_v believe_v in_o it_o oh_o what_o a_o tender_a regard_n the_o lord_n have_v to_o a_o people_n in_o former_a time_n that_o be_v beset_v and_o under_o heavy_a burden_n how_o willing_a be_v the_o

and_o praise_n god_n for_o this_o deliverance_n now_o friend_n there_o be_v a_o inward_a warfare_n to_o be_v know_v there_o be_v inward_a enemy_n to_o be_v meet_v withal_o and_o we_o have_v need_v to_o know_v the_o same_o arm_n of_o power_n as_o they_o do_v to_o work_v in_o we_o and_o for_o we_o that_o we_o may_v come_v to_o serve_v god_n and_o worship_n god_n and_o love_n god_n with_o all_o our_o heart_n love_v his_o truth_n love_v his_o word_n and_o love_v his_o appearance_n though_o god_n may_v appear_v in_o judgement_n yet_o it_o be_v for_o a_o good_a end_n that_o we_o that_o know_v he_o trust_v in_o he_o and_o not_o in_o ourselves_o nor_o in_o the_o arm_n of_o flesh_n but_o in_o god_n i_o will_v bear_v thy_o indignation_n o_o lord_n say_v one_o of_o old_a because_o i_o have_v sin_v against_o thou_o and_o though_o thou_o kill_v i_o i_o will_v trust_v in_o thou_o now_o friend_n the_o way_n of_o his_o appear_v be_v not_o to_o kill_v the_o body_n but_o the_o sin_n that_o dwell_v there_o the_o evil_a affection_n the_o evil_n desire_v that_o war_n against_o the_o soul_n oh_o what_o warfare_n there_o have_v be_v and_o a_o travel_n there_o have_v be_v that_o we_o may_v arrive_v at_o the_o good_a land_n and_o that_o we_o may_v not_o faint_v in_o our_o mind_n and_o true_o friend_n the_o lord_n have_v give_v we_o a_o brook_n by_o the_o way_n he_o have_v turn_v our_o wilderness_n into_o a_o fruitful_a field_n so_o that_o we_o many_o time_n can_v invite_v other_o to_o come_v and_o partake_v with_o we_o for_o we_o believe_v that_o god_n will_v have_v all_o man_n come_v to_o the_o knowledge_n of_o the_o truth_n and_o be_v save_v now_o there_o have_v be_v a_o great_a deal_n of_o search_v after_o outward_a knowledge_n many_o have_v be_v very_o busy_a and_o

out_o under_o the_o weight_n and_o burden_n of_o sin_n as_o one_o do_v when_o it_o be_v too_o heavy_a for_o he_o to_o bear_v now_o people_n may_v see_v what_o a_o loathsome_a thing_n it_o be_v to_o have_v a_o profession_n and_o talk_v and_o notion_n of_o good_a thing_n and_o be_v out_o of_o the_o life_n and_o knowledge_n thereof_o for_o what_o benefit_n have_v a_o hungry_a man_n or_o woman_n in_o hear_v tell_v of_o bread_n if_o they_o do_v not_o partake_v of_o it_o we_o know_v that_o the_o lord_n feed_v the_o poor_a with_o bread_n but_o many_o be_v so_o high_a and_o rich_a in_o notion_n they_o do_v not_o mind_n to_o come_v into_o a_o state_n of_o low_a degree_n nor_o the_o low_a and_o little_a appearance_n of_o truth_n in_o their_o heart_n oh_o come_v friend_n let_v we_o take_v notice_n of_o the_o day_n of_o small_a thing_n and_o be_v faithful_a in_o a_o little_a or_o else_o we_o shall_v never_o be_v make_v ruler_n over_o much_o and_o now_o friend_n as_o we_o turn_v in_o our_o mind_n we_o may_v find_v how_o the_o lord_n reprove_v we_o for_o many_o thing_n even_o thing_n that_o be_v little_o take_v notice_n of_o by_o some_o and_o make_v we_o to_o remember_v that_o say_v we_o must_v give_v a_o account_n to_o god_n for_o every_o idle_a word_n now_o friend_n here_o we_o can_v say_v be_v a_o good_a beginning_n when_o the_o truth_n meet_v with_o we_o and_o bring_v
