interest_n of_o the_o lord_n jesus_n we_o have_v practise_v that_o in_o ourselves_o which_o we_o have_v condemn_v in_o other_o and_o never_o any_o people_n have_v more_o precious_a opportunity_n and_o

have_v a_o beginning_n etc._n etc._n now_o for_o other_o to_o lay_v these_o thing_n to_o our_o charge_n make_v we_o odious_a and_o ugly_a but_o for_o we_o to_o charge_v ourselves_o will_v make_v we_o look_v lovely_a and_o beautiful_a there_o be_v a_o vast_a difference_n between_o other_o speak_v of_o we_o and_o our_o own_o speak_n of_o ourselves_o though_o the_o word_n be_v the_o very_a same_o the_o story_n of_o jonah_n if_o another_o have_v write_v it_o will_v have_v make_v jonah_n appear_v very_o deform_v but_o as_o he_o write_v it_o himself_o it_o rendershim_v a_o true_a penicent_a let_v we_o lament_v our_o not_o do_v our_o work_n in_o our_o day_n our_o not_o mind_v our_o work_n and_o season_n and_o make_v they_o meet_v what_o a_o deal_n of_o work_n may_v we_o have_v do_v more_o

of_o god_n to_o present_v they_o with_o the_o small_a relic_n and_o stale_a afterling_n of_o your_o time_n i_o be_o persuade_v this_o be_v the_o very_a thing_n the_o psalmist_n aim_v at_o in_o this_o
