he_o can_v no_o long_o bear_v but_o cast_v john_n into_o prison_n even_o so_o now_o there_o be_v not_o a_o few_o which_o be_v persuade_v to_o search_v and_o try_v many_o of_o their_o way_n but_o they_o will_v by_o no_o mean_n examine_v all_o and_o among_o these_o first_o some_o search_n only_o great_a and_o gross_a sin_n as_o may_v appear_v because_o they_o usual_o say_v i_o be_o no_o whore_n nor_o thief_n i_o be_o no_o murderer_n no_o adulterer_n and_o yet_o they_o abound_v with_o lesser_a sin_n second_o some_o strain_n at_o a_o gnat_n and_o swallow_v a_o camel_n they_o be_v very_o

of_o the_o first_o or_o second_o table_n as_o they_o concern_v god_n &_o their_o neighbour_n but_o touch_v their_o own_o person_n they_o be_v very_o irregular_a they_o walk_v not_o sober_o temperate_o humble_o but_o proud_o wanton_o or_o riotous_o in_o the_o five_o place_n some_o search_n and_o try_v all_o their_o own_o way_n but_o they_o be_v negligent_a in_o search_v and_o try_v the_o way_n of_o those_o that_o be_v commit_v to_o their_o charge_n in_o the_o six_o place_n some_o seem_v full_o to_o put_v this_o precept_n in_o execution_n they_o search_v and_o try_v all_o their_o way_n and_o the_o way_n of_o their_o friend_n and_o family_n and_o set_v all_o in_o a_o good_a course_n but_o on_o a_o sudden_a upon_o some_o temptation_n of_o wealth_n pleasure_n or_o honour_n they_o start_v back_o &_o with_o demas_n embrace_v this_o present_a world_n thus_o you_o see_v how_o many_o be_v defective_a in_o the_o due_a performance_n of_o this_o main_a and_o most_o necessary_a duty_n of_o search_v and_o try_v their_o way_n what_o remain_v but_o that_o i_o exhort_v every_o one_o of_o you_o to_o take_v special_a notice_n of_o the_o sore_a of_o his_o own_o heart_n i_o mean_v the_o
