break_v with_o your_o conscience_n give_v i_o leave_v to_o propose_v this_o short_a dilemma_n to_o you_o here_o instance_n in_o any_o sin_n either_o you_o know_v it_o to_o be_v a_o sin_n or_o not_o

to_o be_v a_o sin_n or_o you_o do_v not_o know_v it_o if_o thou_o do_v know_v it_o to_o be_v a_o sin_n what_o a_o blind_a atheistical_a conscience_n have_v thou_o if_o thou_o do_v know_v it_o and_o will_v still_o live_v in_o it_o than_o what_o a_o fester_a conscience_n have_v thou_o this_o be_v plain_a language_n but_o it_o be_v very_o wholesome_a no_o danger_n to_o hear_v of_o it_o now_o but_o if_o it_o be_v your_o doom_n to_o feel_v it_o at_o that_o left_a hand_n when_o you_o come_v to_o judgement_n there_o it_o will_v be_v too_o late_a than_o you_o can_v never_o make_v your_o peace_n with_o conscience_n but_o be_v eternal_o undo_v too_o many_o man_n do_v deal_v with_o conscience_n very_o unwise_o as_o man_n do_v with_o bailiff_n suppose_v a_o officer_n shall_v have_v order_n to_o

but_o alas_o poor_a man_n the_o debt_n run_v on_o and_o the_o creditor_n will_v be_v at_o the_o charge_n of_o a_o new_a writ_n so_o you_o come_v to_o a_o sermon_n and_o it_o may_v be_v a_o spark_n

be_v a_o simple_a bribe_n of_o the_o sergeant_n but_o the_o grand_a debt_n run_v on_o still_o and_o then_o it_o may_v be_v god_n will_v break_v thy_o estate_n and_o take_v away_o therein_o they_o
