together_o may_v not_o unfit_o be_v resemble_v by_o that_o figure_n of_o the_o man_n in_o our_o almanac_n who_o seem_v to_o be_v wound_v in_o every_o part_n from_o the_o sole_a of_o the_o foot_n to_o

ourselves_o into_o ruin_n nor_o be_v infatuate_v to_o destruction_n let_v our_o consideration_n and_o fear_n prevent_v our_o perish_v and_o if_o we_o do_v desire_v to_o understand_v the_o mind_n of_o god_n aright_o we_o must_v not_o take_v some_o passage_n of_o scripture_n in_o a_o literal_a sense_n which_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n never_o intend_v by_o they_o but_o that_o which_o be_v quite_o contrary_a and_o there_o be_v many_o such_o to_o be_v observe_v in_o the_o sacred_a story_n like_o that_o in_o the_o last_o of_o the_o revelation_n he_o that_o be_v unjust_a let_v he_o be_v unjust_a still_o to_o this_o end_n almighty_a god_n speak_v often_o to_o sinner_n unto_o who_o he_o intend_v mercy_n that_o they_o shall_v return_v as_o if_o before_o they_o have_v be_v quite_o out_o of_o their_o way_n repent_v and_o turn_v yourselves_o from_o your_o transgression_n so_o iniquity_n shall_v not_o be_v your_o ruin_n and_o therefore_o if_o we_o will_v have_v mercy_n and_o pardon_n for_o sin_n we_o must_v labour_v as_o much_o as_o we_o may_v to_o free_v ourselves_o from_o guilt_n and_o show_v as_o much_o forwardness_n to_o redress_v evil_n as_o to_o acknowledge_v or_o grieve_v for_o

for_o oath_n it_o be_v very_o observable_a in_o the_o case_n and_o story_n of_o the_o gibeonite_n that_o though_o they_o have_v surreptitious_o and_o by_o fraud_n gain_v a_o league_n with_o the_o
