yet_o in_o my_o persuasion_n i_o take_v it_o to_o be_v for_o the_o most_o part_n very_o true_a that_o after_o twenty_o year_n public_a preach_v &_o profess_v of_o the_o gospel_n under_o our_o

very_o small_a yea_o even_o as_o it_o be_v a_o cottage_n in_o a_o vineyard_n or_o like_o a_o lodge_n in_o a_o gardeyne_a of_o cucumber_n or_o like_o a_o besiege_a city_n 1.8_o isaiah_n 1.8_o if_o

some_o be_v in_o his_o sight_n yea_o that_o one_o and_o the_o self_n same_o sin_n be_v very_o much_o aggravate_v &_o make_v more_o heinous_a even_o in_o respect_n of_o the_o circumstance_n as_o time_n
