in_o a_o way_n of_o repent_v that_o man_n may_v neither_o depend_v on_o their_o freewill_n to_o be_v save_v when_o they_o please_v as_o though_o they_o will_v command_v grace_n at_o pleasure_n or_o be_v save_v on_o their_o own_o account_n and_o that_o man_n may_v not_o dare_v to_o put_v off_o or_o delay_v their_o opportunity_n but_o take_v their_o day_n and_o in_o it_o lay_v to_o heart_n the_o

have_v eye_n to_o see_v it_o and_o heart_n to_o consider_v it_o when_o offer_v but_o god_n have_v set_v boundary_n and_o limit_n to_o the_o time_n so_o long_o will_v i_o wait_v to_o be_v gracious_a all_o the_o day_n long_o have_v i_o stretch_v out_o my_o hand_n to_o a_o gainsaying_n people_n god_n will_v visit_v thy_o soul_n man_n must_v wait_v and_o observe_v our_o time_n be_v in_o god_n hand_n
