the_o great_a day_n of_o the_o lord_n be_v near_o it_o be_v near_o &_o haste_v great_o even_o the_o voice_n of_o the_o day_n of_o the_o lord_n the_o mighty_a man_n shall_v cry_v bitter_o that_o day_n be_v a_o day_n of_o wrath_n a_o day_n of_o trouble_n and_o distress_n a_o day_n of_o wastness_n and_o desolation_n a_o day_n of_o darkness_n and_o gloominess_n a_o day_n of_o cloud_n and_o thick_a darkness_n a_o day_n of_o the_o trumpet_n and_o alarm_n against_o the_o fence_a city_n and_o against_o the_o high_a tower_n and_o i_o will_v bring_v distress_n upon_o man_n that_o they_o shall_v walk_v like_o blind_a man_n because_o they_o have_v sin_v against_o the_o lord_n and_o their_o blood_n shall_v be_v pour_v out_o as_o dust_n and_o their_o flesh_n as_o the_o dung_n neither_o their_o silver_n nor_o their_o gold_n shall_v be_v able_a to_o deliver_v they_o in_o the_o day_n of_o the_o lord_n be_v wrath._n o_o let_v i_o not_o lose_v the_o sense_n of_o this_o day_n oh_o let_v i_o consider_v how_o much_o better_o it_o be_v to_o be_v humble_a and_o contemptible_a and_o to_o hunger_n and_o thirst_n and_o to_o suffer_v here_o and_o afterward_o to_o enter_v into_o my_o great_a

out_o chain_n which_o always_o bind_v be_v always_o grievous_a always_o painful_a oh_o let_v i_o consider_v how_o much_o better_o it_o be_v to_o mourn_v here_o and_o to_o water_v my_o couch_n with_o my_o tear_n and_o to_o afflict_v my_o soul_n and_o after_o this_o to_o triumph_v with_o the_o spirit_n of_o man_n make_v perfect_a than_o to_o feed_v upon_o pleasure_n which_o at_o the_o best_a be_v but_o like_o the_o crackle_n of_o thorn_n under_o a_o pot_n and_o then_o to_o be_v send_v away_o to_o howl_v with_o devil_n help_v lord_n help_n that_o my_o soul_n may_v be_v concern_v at_o her_o

mean_n i_o may_v attain_v unto_o the_o resurrection_n of_o the_o dead_a such_o prayer_n offer_v from_o a_o heart_n that_o have_v no_o reserve_v from_o a_o heart_n resolve_v to_o do_v any_o thing_n rather_o than_o miss_v of_o salvation_n such_o prayer_n i_o say_v if_o they_o express_v the_o very_a desire_n of_o our_o soul_n will_v certain_o put_v death_n and_o paleness_n into_o our_o sensual_a

bind_v to_o embitter_v his_o carnal_a delight_n with_o this_o prospect_n to_o this_o i_o must_v answer_v in_o the_o affirmative_a for_o though_o the_o young_a man_n be_v particular_o mention_v here_o yet_o since_o the_o expression_n in_o the_o text_n reach_v all_o man_n who_o be_v fit_a for_o action_n all_o such_o must_v necessary_o fall_v under_o the_o obligation_n of_o this_o duty_n and_o all_o that_o be_v capable_a of_o such_o delight_n be_v bind_v to_o make_v use_n of_o the_o aforesaid_a consideration_n in_o order_n to_o this_o self-denial_n if_o the_o young_a man_n be_v oblige_v to_o this_o seriousness_n much_o more_o old_a man_n if_o god_n will_v not_o allow_v of_o these_o delight_n in_o youth_n they_o must_v necessary_o be_v intolerable_a in_o year_n of_o great_a maturity_n and_o if_o the_o tender_a age_n be_v concern_v to_o embitter_v they_o with_o this_o prospect_n when_o it_o meet_v with_o any_o temptation_n to_o they_o without_o all_o peradventure_o the_o strong_a can_v be_v excuse_v and_o the_o reason_n be_v these_o follow_v 1._o if_o they_o be_v not_o embitter_v with_o such_o thought_n as_o these_o they_o will_v infallible_o lead_v the_o soul_n into_o innumerable_a danger_n &_o there_o be_v no_o man_n but_o be_v oblige_v to_o preserve_v his_o soul_n from_o danger_n it_o be_v say_v of_o the_o prodigal_n luk._n 15.13_o that_o he_o take_v his_o

be_v the_o soul_n be_v lose_v in_o such_o sensual_a pleasure_n they_o wear_v out_o the_o bright_a notion_n the_o soul_n have_v of_o god_n and_o religion_n as_o it_o be_v say_v of_o the_o sicilian_a dog_n that_o run_v through_o the_o sweet_a and_o floury_a field_n they_o lose_v their_o scent_n in_o hunt_v so_o the_o soul_n where_o these_o pleasure_n these_o white_a devil_n become_v her_o
