such_o wretched_a soul_n and_o deprecate_v the_o divine_a displeasure_n beseech_v he_o to_o turn_v his_o anger_n from_o we_o and_o to_o spare_v we_o for_o the_o sake_n of_o those_o pious_a soul_n

for_o to_o be_v do_v in_o public_a nay_o we_o shall_v the_o rather_o do_v it_o as_o i_o have_v often_o say_v and_o bewail_v this_o among_o other_o thing_n that_o man_n be_v impatient_a of_o such_o

when_o they_o consider_v the_o obstinate_a hardness_n of_o man_n heart_n in_o these_o evil_a course_n their_o great_a insensibleness_n either_o of_o their_o sin_n or_o danger_n and_o the_o cause_n

many_o public_a judgement_n of_o god_n fall_v upon_o we_o in_o these_o day_n because_o the_o church_n be_v negligent_a in_o call_v offender_n to_o a_o account_n and_o they_o will_v not_o judge_v
