Whose advise shall we âetake our selves to For all we âike sheep have gone astray every one hath turned to his own way There is none that doth good no not one we have all sinned and done amiss we are all the children of wrath and deserving the same condemnation unless the mercy of Christ deliver us What shall we do shalâ we not all likewise perish Iâ God spared not this man nor thâ Angels that sinned nor the natuâral branches that were cut off how shall he spare us and yeâ do we think that his hand ãâã shortned that it cannot save ãâã that he will shut up his lovinâ kindness in displeasure Whââ shall we do Oh my brethren ãâã so intangled so difficult and ãâã wâighty a matter Let us not ãâã in our own strength let us ãâã Counsel not of the Iews ãâã trust to be justified in the Laââ nor

turn to ââe Lord and he will have mercy upon us for he desâreth not the death of a sinâeâ but that he may return from ãâã sin and live neither leâââs deâââââ for he that proâiâeth paâââââ upon repentance promiâeth ãâã so much time as we promise oââ selves to repent there are thoââsandsâ whose caâe is like theirs ãâã the proverbs to whom God speakââââ I have called and ye would ãâã answer I have stretched âoââ my hands and ye have refuseââ Ye have despised all my coââ seâs and set aâ naughââ all ãâã reproofes I will also laugh ãâã yoââ Calamity and mocâââll your fear cometh when your ãâã as desolation and youâ desâââ on cometh aâ a whiâle wilââ when distress and anguish âââmeth upon you then shall ãâã call but I will not answerâ ãâã shall seek me early and shall ãâã find me The Loâd now callââ us for this voyce is not for ãâã ââke that is dead and past repenââânce but ours who live and âhom the patience and long-ââffering of God leads to repenââânce Let us not delay from âay to
