wage_n of_o sin_n for_o which_o i_o have_v so_o long_o labour_v how_o many_o and_o foul_a be_v the_o sin_n which_o thou_o have_v now_o enable_v i_o to_o discover_v in_o myself_o even_o the_o least_o of_o this_o black_a number_n be_v enough_o to_o condemn_v i_o to_o endless_a torment_n and_o whither_o then_o will_v not_o such_o a_o multitude_n of_o foul_a transgression_n sink_v i_o if_o thy_o mercy_n be_v not_o infinite_a and_o thy_o patience_n true_o wonderful_a yet_o alas_o how_o few_o be_v all_o these_o in_o comparison_n of_o those_o which_o have_v escape_v my_o observation_n but_o can_v be_v hide_v from_o thy_o all-seeing_a eye_n and_o if_o i_o appear_v so_o vile_a in_o my_o own_o eye_n how_o loathsome_a and_o abominable_a a_o thing_n must_v i_o needs_o be_v in_o thou_o my_o sin_n o_o god_n be_v not_o a_o few_o but_o many_o no_o small_a offence_n but_o very_o heinous_a transgression_n few_o of_o they_o rare_a with_o i_o but_o most_o of_o they_o very_o often_o repeat_v long_o continue_v in_o and_o become_v even_o familiar_a customary_a and_o habitual_a yea_o o_o lord_n with_o shame_n and_o confusion_n of_o face_n i_o confess_v that_o i_o have_v have_v so_o little_a regard_n to_o thy_o will_n that_o i_o have_v even_o sin_v as_o i_o eat_v and_o drink_v with_o all_o greediness_n and_o delight_n though_o thou_o have_v never_o be_v want_v to_o i_o in_o any_o help_n

of_o all_o thy_o goodness_n and_o by_o that_o very_a patience_n and_o forbearance_n which_o shall_v have_v lead_v i_o to_o repentance_n i_o have_v encourage_v myself_o to_o sin_v the_o more_o free_o even_o without_o fear_n and_o i_o may_v just_o fear_v to_o the_o great_a harden_v of_o my_o heart_n though_o i_o have_v live_v long_o under_o the_o bright_a light_n of_o thy_o gospel_n and_o have_v thy_o word_n sound_v in_o my_o ear_n daily_o and_o have_v thy_o minister_n ready_a at_o hand_n to_o instruct_v i_o yet_o be_o i_o very_o ignorant_a and_o have_v even_o hate_v knowledge_n and_o

engagement_n covenant_n and_o vow_n i_o have_v treacherous_o revolt_v from_o thou_o rebel_v against_o thou_o and_o set_v at_o naught_o all_o thy_o goodness_n to_o i_o i_o have_v a_o false_a and_o treacherous_a heart_n which_o have_v never_o yet_o keep_v faith_n with_o thou_o i_o find_v to_o the_o great_a discomfort_n of_o my_o soul_n that_o i_o have_v dissemble_v with_o thou_o and_o go_v about_o to_o mock_v thou_o by_o feign_a profession_n counterseit_n repentance_n and_o hypocritical_a devotion_n even_o now_o o_o lord_n i_o feel_v not_o that_o deep_a humiliation_n that_o pierce_a grief_n that_o anger_n and_o hatred_n and_o indignation_n against_o my_o sin_n and_o myself_o for_o cherish_v they_o that_o i_o ought_v to_o have_v neither_o do_v i_o find_v in_o my_o heart_n that_o

can_v i_o have_v to_o say_v for_o myself_o after_o all_o this_o why_o shall_v thou_o not_o deal_v with_o i_o as_o i_o have_v just_o deserve_v and_o reward_v i_o with_o indignation_n and_o wrath_n tribulation_n and_o anguish_n if_o thou_o shall_v even_v now_o instead_o of_o accept_v my_o confession_n throw_v i_o in_o thy_o just_a fury_n into_o unquenchable_a flame_n with_o the_o devil_n and_o his_o angel_n thou_o be_v most_o just_a in_o so_o do_v and_o even_o merciful_a in_o take_v vengeance_n of_o i_o so_o late_a when_o i_o have_v so_o often_o and_o long_o provoke_v thy_o wrath_n before_o
