1._o believe_v that_o god_n eye_n be_v always_o upon_o thy_o heart_n to_o observe_v all_o the_o way_n all_o the_o turn_n and_o wind_n of_o it_o 2._o believe_v that_o he_o observe_v all_o thy_o way_n and_o mark_n thy_o action_n the_o way_n of_o man_n be_v before_o the_o eye_n of_o the_o lord_n 5.21_o and_o he_o ponder_v all_o his_o go_n 3._o believe_v that_o there_o be_v a_o day_n of_o judgement_n a_o come_n and_o that_o then_o all_o thing_n shall_v be_v reveal_v and_o discover_v as_o they_o be_v 3._o for_o there_o be_v nothing_o cover_v that_o shall_v not_o be_v reveal_v nor_o hide_v that_o shall_v not_o be_v know_v therefore_o whatsoever_o you_o have_v speak_v in_o darkness_n shall_v be_v hear_v in_o light_n and_o that_o which_o you_o have_v speak_v in_o the_o ear_n in_o closet_n

that_o god_n will_v not_o spare_v a_o hypocrite_n in_o the_o judgement_n 20.47_o no_o nor_o punish_v he_o neither_o with_o ordinary_a damnation_n but_o as_o they_o have_v here_o sin_v in_o a_o way_n by_o themselves_o so_o there_o they_o shall_v receive_v great_a damnation_n of_o all_o sin_n the_o sin_n of_o hypocrisy_n bespeak_v a_o man_n most_o in_o love_n with_o some_o lust_n because_o he_o dissemble_v both_o with_o god_n and_o man_n to_o keep_v it_o for_o a_o conclusion_n upon_o this_o sevenfold_a answer_n to_o the_o question_n above_o propound_v let_v i_o advise_v those_o that_o be_v tender_a of_o the_o name_n of_o christ_n to_o have_v regard_n to_o these_o thing_n first_o be_v well_o acquaint_v with_o the_o word_n and_o with_o the_o general_a rule_n of_o holiness_n to_o wit_n with_o the_o moral_a law_n the_o want_n of_o this_o be_v a_o cause_n of_o much_o unholiness_n of_o conversation_n these_o licentious_a and_o evil_a time_n wherein_o we_o live_v be_v full_a of_o
