oh_o this_o be_v our_o first_o work_n and_o great_a work_n to_o labour_v to_o see_v the_o evil_n of_o our_o own_o iniquity_n and_o here_o i_o shall_v show_v you_o two_o thing_n 1._o that_o this_o be_v a_o very_a hard_a work_n for_o any_o man_n true_o and_o right_o to_o be_v inform_v of_o the_o evil_a of_o his_o own_o sin_n 2._o that_o this_o must_v first_o be_v do_v before_o we_o can_v keep_v ourselves_o from_o it_o 1._o that_o it_o be_v a_o hard_a work_n etc._n etc._n 1._o because_o it_o be_v our_o own_o that_o which_o we_o love_v man_n love_v to_o wink_v at_o the_o fault_n of_o those_o they_o love_v as_o the_o apostle_n say_v charity_n cover_v a_o multitude_n of_o sin_n so_o love_v to_o any_o sin_n will_v blind_v our_o eye_n that_o we_o can_v see_v the_o evil_n the_o multitude_n of_o evil_n that_o be_v in_o it_o it_o be_v like_o solomon_n love_n to_o his_o wife_n it_o be_v so_o great_a that_o he_o can_v not_o see_v the_o evil_n in_o they_o though_o he_o be_v a_o man_n of_o such_o excellent_a wisdom_n but_o suffer_v they_o to_o draw_v away_o his_o heart_n from_o god._n 2._o because_o we_o not_o only_o fall_v in_o love_n with_o our_o own_o sin_n but_o even_o love_v the_o evil_n of_o they_o as_o man_n not_o only_o love_v their_o own_o child_n but_o love_v the_o very_a blemish_n that_o be_v in_o they_o solomon_n have_v a_o expression_n to_o this_o purpose_n 8._o
