their_o witty_a devise_n and_o headstrong_a attempt_n so_o as_o without_o hope_n of_o remedy_n they_o be_v hamper_v in_o pensivenes_n and_o sorrow_n of_o mind_n then_o be_v not_o able_a to_o turn_v

to_o stand_v charge_v with_o their_o former_a guiltiness_n yea_o and_o which_o more_o be_v for_o that_o such_o man_n have_v not_o true_o be_v instruct_v nor_o sure_o have_v be_v ground_v in_o the_o doctrine_n of_o christ_n his_o death_n and_o resurrection_n that_o be_v for_o that_o they_o see_v not_o aswell_o power_n flow_v from_o his_o death_n to_o slay_v sin_n in_o they_o as_o virtue_n to_o pardon_v sin_n in_o they_o for_o that_o they_o feel_v not_o aswell_o strength_n unto_o sanctification_n strive_v from_o the_o rise_n again_o of_o christ_n as_o they_o be_v persuade_v of_o

and_o staunch_v wherefore_o let_v we_o strengthen_v our_o weak_a soul_n with_o this_o sevenfold_a cord_n of_o consolation_n against_o these_o bitter_a assault_n let_v we_o first_o labour_n to_o know_v

god_n have_v a_o sight_n of_o their_o sin_n a_o sorrow_n for_o their_o sin_n a_o taste_n of_o their_o remission_n of_o sin_n and_o yet_o how_o come_v it_o to_o pass_v that_o these_o man_n be_v so_o

doubtless_o these_o man_n be_v great_a sinner_n the_o lord_n have_v find_v out_o their_o iniquity_n the_o lord_n have_v discover_v their_o hypocrisy_n for_o good_a reason_n there_o be_v that_o such_o silence_n shall_v be_v use_v for_o that_o the_o lord_n may_v aswell_o make_v trial_n of_o their_o faith_n as_o take_v punishment_n on_o their_o sin_n for_o if_o such_o affliction_n shall_v always_o &_o chief_o be_v send_v for_o sin_n than_o it_o shall_v follow_v that_o all_o other_o as_o they_o exceed_v they_o in_o sin_n shall_v also_o exceed_v they_o in_o that_o punishment_n of_o sin_n but_o
