out_o his_o own_o sin_n in_o their_o weight_n and_o number_n psal._n 38.4_o my_o iniquity_n be_v go_v over_o my_o head_n as_o a_o heavy_a burden_n they_o be_v too_o heavy_a for_o i_o the_o continual_a

first_o i_o show_v you_o his_o sinfulness_n and_o now_o second_o i_o shall_v show_v you_o his_o accursednesse_n that_o which_o follow_v necessary_o upon_o sin_n unrepented_a of_o i_o declare_v before_o what_o the_o nature_n of_o sin_n be_v and_o now_o i_o come_v to_o show_v what_o the_o dreadful_a effect_n of_o sin_n be_v the_o cause_n the_o consequence_n that_o follow_v upon_o sin_n and_o that_o be_v woe_n and_o misery_n woe_n unto_o we_o that_o we_o have_v sin_v a_o woe_n be_v a_o short_a word_n but_o there_o lie_v much_o in_o it_o doct._n woe_n and_o anguish_n must_v follow_v he_o that_o continue_v sin_v against_o god_n and_o when_o we_o hear_v this_o from_o the_o minister_n of_o god_n it_o be_v as_o if_o we_o hear_v that_o angel_n rev._n 8.13_o fly_v through_o the_o midst_n

we_o have_v sin_v that_o i_o may_v now_o declare_v unto_o you_o what_o these_o woe_n be_v note_v by_o the_o way_n that_o i_o speak_v not_o to_o any_o particular_a man_n but_o to_o every_o man_n in_o

be_v all_o alike_o we_o be_v all_o of_o one_o kind_n and_o every_o kind_n generate_v its_o own_o kind_a it_o be_v a_o hereditary_a condition_n and_o till_o the_o son_n make_v we_o free_a we_o be_v all_o subject_n to_o this_o woe_n by_o nature_n we_o be_v all_o child_n of_o wrath_n as_o well_o as_o other_o eph._n 2.3_o now_o that_o i_o may_v not_o speak_v of_o these_o woe_n in_o general_n i_o have_v show_v how_o two_o woe_n be_v past_a and_o a_o three_o woe_n be_v come_v god_n proceed_v punctual_o with_o we_o and_o be_v not_o our_o proceed_n in_o judiciary_n court_v after_o this_o manner_n the_o judge_n when_o he_o pronounce_v sentence_n do_v particularize_v the_o matter_n thou_o shall_v return_v to_o the_o place_n from_o whence_o thou_o come_v thou_o shall_v have_v thy_o bolt_n knock_v

which_o be_v the_o witness_n of_o justice_n thus_o be_v it_o here_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n think_v it_o not_o enough_o to_o say_v bare_o the_o state_n of_o a_o sinner_n be_v a_o woeful_a estate_n but_o the_o woe_n be_v punctual_o number_v and_o this_o shall_v be_v my_o practice_n now_o 1._o the_o first_o thing_n that_o follow_v after_o sin_n be_v this_o after_o the_o commit_n of_o sin_n there_o come_v such_o a_o condition_n into_o the_o soul_n that_o it_o be_v defile_v pollute_a and_o become_v abominable_a and_o this_o be_v the_o first_o woe_n 2._o the_o soul_n be_v thus_o defile_v and_o abominable_a god_n loathe_v it_o for_o god_n can_v endure_v to_o dwell_v in_o a_o filthy_a and_o stink_a carrion-soul_n he_o startle_v as_o it_o be_v and_o seem_v afraid_a to_o come_v near_o it_o he_o forsake_v it_o and_o can_v endure_v it_o and_o that_o be_v the_o second_o woe_n first_o sin_n defile_v it_o than_o god_n depart_v from_o it_o there_o must_v be_v a_o divorce_n 3._o when_o god_n be_v depart_v from_o the_o soul_n than_o the_o devil_n enter_v in_o he_o present_o come_v in_o and_o take_v up_o the_o room_n there_o will_v be_v no_o emptiness_n or_o vacuum_n and_o this_o be_v a_o fearful_a woe_n indeed_o for_o as_o soon_o as_o god_n be_v depart_v from_o a_o man_n he_o be_v leave_v to_o the_o guidance_n of_o the_o devil_n his_o own_o flesh_n and_o the_o world_n there_o will_v be_v no_o emptiness_n in_o the_o heart_n no_o soon_o god_n depart_v but_o these_o step_n in_o and_o take_v god_n place_n 4._o then_o in_o the_o four_o place_n after_o all_o this_o be_v do_v

which_o be_v so_o many_o as_o pen_n and_o ink_n can_v set_v down_o nay_o the_o very_a pen_n of_o god_n can_v express_v they_o so_o many_o be_v the_o calamity_n and_o sorrow_n that_o shall_v light_v upon_o the_o soul_n of_o every_o sinful_a man_n now_o let_v we_o take_v these_o woe_n in_o piece_n one_o after_o another_o 1._o the_o first_o woe_n be_v the_o pollute_a and_o defile_v of_o the_o

that_o every_o sin_n every_o lustful_a thought_n every_o covetous_a act_n every_o sin_n set_v a_o new_a spot_n and_o stain_v upon_o the_o soul_n and_o tumble_v it_o into_o a_o new_a puddle_n of_o

that_o every_o sin_n tumble_v we_o afresh_o into_o the_o mire_n do_v we_o see_v what_o a_o black_a devil_n we_o have_v within_o we_o we_o will_v hate_v and_o abhor_v ourselves_o as_o job_n do_v it_o
