my_o estate_n as_o if_o it_o be_v better_o with_o i_o than_o it_o be_v and_o sometime_o abase_v myself_o to_o be_v worse_o than_o indeed_o i_o be_o or_o shall_v be_v and_o my_o corruption_n sometime_o break_v out_o into_o gross_a rebellion_n do_v so_o hinder_v and_o obscure_v my_o spiritual_a eye_n of_o faith_n that_o i_o can_v neither_o true_o discern_v whereto_o i_o be_o come_v neither_o can_v see_v afar_o to_o what_o i_o shall_v attain_v yea_o many_o time_n it_o fare_v so_o ill_a with_o i_o that_o for_o want_v of_o speedy_a endeavour_n to_o recover_v myself_o by_o repentance_n i_o do_v not_o only_o plunge_v myself_o deep_a into_o the_o snare_n of_o sin_n by_o not_o apply_v the_o true_a remedy_n aright_o or_o stumble_v upon_o vain_a help_n but_o hereby_o many_o time_n be_o cast_v into_o such_o strait_n that_o i_o not_o only_o question_v all_o former_a truth_n of_o thy_o grace_n as_o if_o i_o be_v no_o better_o than_o a_o hypocrite_n and_o have_v build_v on_o the_o sand_n but_o also_o be_o ready_a to_o give_v over_o all_o hope_n of_o attain_v the_o same_o as_o if_o either_o it_o do_v not_o belong_v unto_o i_o or_o else_o it_o be_v too_o late_o to_o pursue_v and_o apprehend_v the_o same_o as_o if_o thou_o have_v forget_v to_o be_v merciful_a because_o i_o feel_v myself_o so_o miserable_a as_o if_o thy_o compassion_n be_v clean_o go_v because_o my_o rebellion_n seem_v so_o desperate_a hence_o it_o be_v o_o my_o god_n that_o i_o turn_v all_o thy_o comfort_n to_o be_v corrosive_n unto_o i_o and_o esteem_v all_o thy_o threaten_n not_o better_o than_o flash_v of_o hell_n and_o entrance_n to_o eternal_a vengeance_n
