to_o be_v the_o son_n of_o god_n make_v man_n reveal_v unto_o we_o the_o counsel_n of_o his_o father_n purchase_v a_o most_o glorious_a inheritance_n for_o we_o and_o set_v we_o free_a from_o the_o

they_o obey_v for_o the_o love_n of_o god_n their_o own_o soul_n be_v not_o so_o dear_a unto_o they_o as_o the_o name_n of_o the_o lord_n to_o see_v it_o glotify_v nor_o their_o own_o life_n be_v

they_o think_v pleasant_o with_o themselves_o what_o manner_n of_o body_n they_o shall_v have_v the_o eternal_a judgement_n though_o it_o make_v they_o sometime_o afraid_a yet_o they_o encourage_v

they_o be_v now_o as_o s._n paul_n say_v past_o sorrow_n for_o their_o sin_n &_o as_o it_o be_v in_o the_o 2._o to_o the_o roman_n they_o have_v a_o heart_n y_fw-es can_v repent_v so_o say_v s._n

again_o with_o all_o opprobry_n and_o shame_n &_o where_o it_o be_v say_v they_o do_v this_o unto_o themselves_o it_o note_v how_o desirous_o &_o willing_o &_o with_o what_o consent_n of_o mind_n they_o do_v it_o even_o so_o as_o they_o will_v again_o have_v the_o cross_n of_o christ_n a_o mock_a stock_n in_o the_o world_n thus_o their_o own_o conscience_n be_v their_o accuser_n of_o most_o wicked_a rebellion_n against_o god_n this_o also_o appear_v plain_a in_o the_o 12._o chapter_n of_o saint_n matthew_n where_o when_o our_o saviour_n christ_n will_v accuse_v y_fw-fr phariseis_n of_o this_o great_a sin_n it_o be_v say_v that_o he_o see_v their_o thought_n so_o in_o the_o act_n of_o the_o apostle_n where_o the_o grace_n of_o god_n be_v magnify_v by_o the_o preach_n 45._o of_o

of_o their_o transgression_n and_o mourn_v all_o the_o day_n for_o fear_n of_o their_o sin_n they_o be_v so_o far_o off_o from_o the_o sin_n against_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n that_o the_o spirit_n
