who_o all_o know_v that_o the_o first_o beginning_n of_o their_o turn_n unto_o the_o lord_n be_v a_o search_n of_o themselves_o let_v any_o repentant_a sinner_n ask_v his_o conscience_n &_o call_v

be_v god_n corn_n field_n and_o we_o be_v the_o corn_n heap_n of_o god_n and_o those_o brownist_n and_o sectary_n be_v blind_a and_o besot_v who_o can_v see_v that_o the_o church_n of_o england_n be_v a_o godly_a heap_n of_o god_n corn_n but_o withal_o we_o must_v confess_v we_o be_v full_a of_o chaff_n that_o be_v of_o profane_a and_o wicked_a hypocrite_n who_o heart_n and_o mind_n abound_v in_o

and_o sincere_a obedience_n and_o labour_n to_o make_v conscience_n of_o all_o sin_n now_o therefore_o see_v we_o be_v god_n corn_n field_n and_o we_o have_v some_o pure_a wheat_n among_o much_o

will_v stir_v all_o the_o heap_n for_o those_o few_o corner_n he_o will_v not_o care_v to_o blow_v all_o the_o chaff_n to_o hell_n to_o find_v out_o those_o few_o corn_n of_o wheat_n to_o lay_v they_o up_o in_o heaven_n so_o that_o out_o of_o all_o question_n england_n be_v so_o full_a of_o chaff_n must_v look_v to_o be_v winnow_v now_o for_o the_o first_o fan_n of_o his_o word_n it_o have_v be_v

more_o ignorant_a more_o profane_a than_o ever_o they_o be_v yea_o wickedness_n grow_v and_o the_o chaff_n increase_v above_o the_o wheat_n be_v sure_a therefore_o that_o god_n will_v bring_v his_o
