and_o the_o real_a reformation_n of_o our_o life_n ahab_n humble_v himself_o but_o we_o do_v not_o find_v that_o he_o be_v a_o true_a penitent_n judas_n be_v sorry_a for_o his_o sin_n and_o yet_o

i_o shall_v need_v to_o say_v the_o less_o to_o it_o this_o only_a i_o shall_v say_v that_o those_o who_o indulge_v their_o sorrow_n to_o such_o a_o degree_n as_o to_o drown_v their_o spirit_n and_o to_o sink_v they_o into_o melancholy_a and_o mopishness_n and_o thereby_o render_v themselves_o unserviceable_a to_o god_n and_o unfit_a for_o the_o necessity_n of_o this_o life_n they_o commit_v

end_n he_o aim_v at_o ii_o the_o other_o part_n of_o the_o application_n of_o this_o discourse_n shall_v be_v to_o stir_v up_o this_o affection_n of_o sorrow_n in_o we_o and_o here_o if_o i_o have_v time_n i_o may_v represent_v to_o you_o the_o great_a evil_n of_o sin_n and_o the_o infinite_a danger_n and_o inconvenience_n of_o it_o if_o the_o holy_a man_n in_o scripture_n david_n and_o
