here_o be_v mr_n peirson_n and_o we_o have_v for_o clearness_n of_o our_o way_n because_o of_o his_o unacquaintance_n with_o our_o dialect_n order_v the_o confess_v indian_n to_o keep_v sabbath_n at_o

shall_v thou_o serve_v then_o i_o pray_v again_o but_o still_o i_o be_v full_a of_o sin_n and_o very_o weak_a i_o be_v and_o i_o love_v sin_n again_o i_o hear_v ioh._n 14._o i_o be_o the_o way_n the_o

in_o christ_n and_o my_o heart_n say_v that_o nothing_o that_o i_o can_v do_v can_v save_v i_o only_a christ_n therefore_o i_o beg_v for_o christ_n and_o a_o part_n in_o he_o then_o say_v my_o heart_n i_o give_v my_o heart_n and_o myself_o to_o christ_n and_o my_o wife_n and_o child_n let_v he_o do_v with_o we_o what_o he_o will_v then_o my_o mother_n and_o two_o child_n die_v and_o my_o heart_n say_v what_o christ_n will_v do_v so_o be_v it_o i_o have_v give_v they_o to_o he_o and_o i_o beg_v pardon_n and_o mercy_n if_o god_n will_v please_v to_o pardon_v i_o a_o poor_a sinner_n bless_a be_v his_o name_n when_o i_o have_v read_v this_o confession_n in_o the_o assembly_n we_o call_v upon_o the_o witness_n as_o before_o we_o do_v who_o answer_n be_v like_o as_o before_o it_o be_v john_n speen_n he_o be_v next_o call_v forth_o and_o thus_o speak_v i_o confess_v my_o sin_n this_o day_n before_o the_o lord_n and_o not_o only_o before_o god_n but_o before_o all_o these_o people_n before_o i_o pray_v very_o i_o be_v a_o great_a sinner_n yea_o in_o my_o mother_n womb_n i_o be_v a_o sinner_n my_o sin_n be_v such_o as_o not_o only_o god_n know_v but_o people_n also_o know_v they_o before_o our_o pray_n i_o do_v thorough_o sin_n and_o do_v commit_v all_o sin_n and_o now_o i_o confess_v these_o my_o sin_n before_o god_n after_o i_o pray_v i_o do_v also_o live_v in_o sin_n at_o first_o when_o i_o pray_v i_o do_v not_o worship_n god_n nor_o believe_v in_o christ_n but_o i_o do_v therefore_o pray_v because_o my_o brother_n and_o friend_n and_o waban_n and_o the_o rest_n do_v pray_v for_o their_o sake_n i_o pray_v and_o again_o i_o therefore_o pray_v because_o many_o english_a know_v i_o that_o i_o may_v please_v they_o and_o because_o i_o see_v the_o english_a take_v much_o ground_n and_o i_o think_v if_o i_o pray_v the_o english_a will_v not_o take_v away_o my_o ground_n for_o these_o cause_n i_o pray_v when_o i_o pray_v it_o be_v but_o with_o my_o mouth_n yet_o i_o think_v i_o do_v well_o enough_o in_o that_o i_o pray_v thus_o and_o i_o think_v that_o for_o it_o god_n will_v pardon_v all_o my_o sin_n and_o i_o think_v that_o my_o pray_n be_v good_a enough_o but_o yet_o again_o i_o sin_v and_o do_v the_o like_a sin_n as_o before_o only_o i_o do_v outward_o pray_v but_o i_o mourn_v not_o for_o my_o sin_n i_o think_v if_o we_o pray_v and_o leave_v pauwave_v who_o shall_v make_v we_o well_o when_o we_o be_v sick_a but_o again_o i_o think_v man_n can_v not_o make_v we_o well_o because_o he_o must_v die_v himself_o and_o therefore_o pauwave_v be_v a_o vain_a thing_n and_o they_o die_v though_o they_o pauwau_n but_o still_o my_o heart_n do_v not_o believe_v pray_v to_o god_n then_o i_o hear_v that_o word_n repent_v and_o believe_v and_o if_o we_o repent_v and_o believe_v god_n will_v pardon_v all_o our_o sin_n then_o sometime_o i_o repent_v yet_o again_o quick_o i_o commit_v sin_n and_o sometime_o i_o think_v i_o be_o thorough_o a_o sinner_n i_o hear_v that_o god_n make_v the_o world_n and_o all_o thing_n in_o it_o and_o last_o man_n and_o that_o god_n form_v he_o of_o the_o dust_n of_o the_o earth_n and_o breathe_v into_o he_o the_o breath_n of_o life_n and_o he_o become_v a_o live_a soul_n and_o that_o god_n make_v a_o covenant_n with_o adam_n that_o he_o shall_v eat_v of_o all_o the_o tree_n of_o the_o garden_n save_v one_o in_o the_o midst_n of_o the_o garden_n and_o if_o he_o eat_v of_o that_o tree_n he_o shall_v die_v then_o i_o understand_v that_o adam_n sin_v and_o fall_v and_o thereby_o i_o uneerstood_v that_o i_o become_v a_o sinner_n bear_v in_o sin_n my_o heart_n full_a of_o sin_n and_o god_n will_v not_o pardon_v sinner_n and_o yet_o again_o i_o sin_v and_o therefore_o i_o fear_v that_o god_n will_v not_o pardon_v i_o because_o more_o and_o more_o i_o sin_v and_o thus_o i_o sin_v after_o pray_v as_o well_o as_o before_o pray_v when_o they_o choose_v ruler_n and_o choose_v my_o brother_n and_o not_o i_o my_o heart_n be_v in_o a_o evil_a frame_n and_o then_o i_o think_v sure_a i_o be_o a_o great_a sinner_n and_o yet_o still_o i_o be_v more_o and_o more_o a_o sinner_n after_o my_o brother_n love_v i_o still_o and_o then_o i_o repent_v of_o my_o sin_n but_o not_o for_o god_n sake_n but_o for_o my_o brother_n sake_n then_o i_o desire_v to_o pray_v as_o long_o as_o i_o live_v my_o brother_n die_v which_o trouble_v i_o the_o people_n say_v be_v you_o in_o your_o brother_n place_n then_o my_o heart_n think_v i_o will_v no_o more_o do_v as_o i_o have_v do_v but_o sure_o i_o be_v weak_a my_o pray_n be_v but_o word_n i_o be_v a_o great_a sinner_n after_o this_o a_o while_n since_o i_o hear_v that_o
