when_o you_o be_v in_o trouble_n and_o necessity_n you_o be_v then_o in_o haste_n for_o deliverance_n and_o relief_n then_o you_o think_v every_o day_n a_o week_n till_o your_o danger_n or_o

when_o you_o remember_v your_o delay_n and_o still_o continue_v to_o trifle_v with_o he_o and_o draw_v back_o 30._o your_o present_a prosperity_n and_o worldly_a delight_n be_v post_v away_o without_o

haste_v away_o i_o think_v if_o you_o have_v your_o wit_n and_o sense_n about_o you_o you_o shall_v present_o turn_v and_o make_v sure_a of_o heaven_n without_o any_o more_o delay_n 31._o consider_v

provide_v for_o you_o can_v hearken_v to_o it_o without_o delay_n you_o have_v wit_n enough_o to_o sow_v your_o seed_n in_o season_n and_o will_v not_o delay_v it_o till_o the_o time_n of_o harvest_n you_o will_v reap_v your_o corn_n when_o it_o be_v ripe_a and_o gather_v your_o fruit_n when_o it_o be_v ripe_a without_o delay_n you_o observe_v the_o season_n in_o the_o course_n of_o your_o labour_n day_n by_o day_n and_o year_n by_o year_n you_o will_v not_o lie_v in_o bed_n when_o you_o shall_v be_v at_o your_o work_n nor_o delay_v all_o night_n to_o go_v to_o your_o rest_n nor_o

be_v do_v without_o delay_n and_o shall_v your_o salvation_n be_v put_v off_o in_o the_o name_n of_o god_n sir_n what_o do_v you_o think_v of_o do_v you_o imagine_v that_o you_o can_v better_o

the_o world_n sure_o if_o you_o believe_v the_o life_n to_o come_v you_o can_v think_v so_o and_o can_v you_o have_v while_n for_o every_o thing_n except_o that_o one_o thing_n which_o all_o the_o rest_n be_v mere_o to_o promote_v and_o in_o comparison_n of_o which_o they_o be_v all_o but_o dream_n can_v you_o have_v while_n to_o work_v to_o plough_v and_o sow_v and_o reap_v and_o can_v you_o have_v while_n to_o prepare_v for_o eternal_a life_n why_o sir_n if_o you_o can_v find_v time_n yet_o to_o search_v your_o heart_n and_o turn_v to_o god_n and_o prepare_v for_o death_n give_v over_o eat_v and_o drink_v and_o sleep_v and_o say_v you_o can_v have_v time_n for_o these_o you_o may_v as_o wise_o say_v so_o for_o these_o small_a matter_n as_o the_o great_a 32._o moreover_o if_o man_n offer_v you_o courtesy_n and_o commodity_n for_o your_o body_n you_o will_v not_o stand_v delay_v and_o need_v so_o many_o persuasion_n to_o accept_v they_o if_o your_o landlord_n will_v for_o nothing_o renew_v your_o lease_n if_o any_o man_n will_v give_v you_o house_n or_o land_n will_v you_o delay_v so_o long_o before_o you_o will_v accept_v they_o a_o beggar_n at_o your_o door_n will_v not_o only_o thankful_o take_v your_o alm_n without_o your_o entreaty_n and_o importunity_n but_o will_v beg_v for_o it_o and_o be_v importunate_a with_o you_o to_o give_v it_o and_o yet_o will_v you_o delay_v to_o accept_v the_o bless_a offer_n of_o grace_n which_o be_v a_o great_a thing_n 33._o you_o consider_v that_o it_o be_v god_n that_o be_v the_o giver_n and_o you_o that_o be_v the_o miserable_a beggar_n and_o receiver_n and_o therefore_o it_o be_v fit_a that_o you_o shall_v wait_v on_o god_n and_o call_v on_o he_o for_o his_o grace_n when_o he_o seem_v to_o delay_v and_o not_o that_o he_o shall_v wait_v on_o you_o he_o can_v live_v without_o your_o receive_n but_o you_o can_v live_v without_o his_o give_v the_o beggar_n must_v be_v glad_a of_o a_o alm_n at_o any_o time_n and_o the_o condemn_a person_n of_o a_o pardon_n at_o any_o time_n but_o the_o giver_n may_v well_o expect_v that_o his_o gift_n be_v receive_v without_o delay_n or_o else_o he_o may_v let_v they_o go_v without_o it_o 34._o and_o i_o think_v you_o shall_v not_o deal_v worse_o with_o god_n when_o he_o come_v to_o you_o as_o a_o physician_n to_o save_v your_o own_o soul_n than_o you_o will_v do_v with_o a_o neighbour_n or_o a_o friend_n when_o it_o be_v not_o for_o your_o own_o good_a but_o for_o they_o if_o your_o neighbour_n lie_v a_o die_a you_o will_v go_v and_o visit_v he_o without_o delay_n if_o he_o fall_v down_o in_o a_o swoon_n you_o will_v catch_v he_o up_o without_o delay_n if_o he_o fall_v into_o the_o fire_n or_o water_n you_o will_v pluck_v he_o out_o without_o delay_n yea_o you_o will_v do_v thus_o much_o by_o a_o very_a beast_n and_o yet_o will_v you_o delay_v when_o it_o be_v not_o another_o but_o yourselves_o that_o be_v sink_v and_o drown_v and_o within_o a_o step_n of_o death_n and_o desperation_n if_o a_o woman_n be_v but_o in_o travail_n her_o neighbour_n will_v come_v to_o she_o without_o delay_n and_o yet_o when_o their_o own_o soul_n be_v in_o

worse_o with_o he_o than_o you_o do_v with_o the_o devil_n himself_o if_o satan_n or_o his_o servant_n persuade_v you_o to_o sin_n you_o delay_v not_o so_o long_o but_o you_o be_v present_o at_o it_o you_o be_v ready_a to_o follow_v every_o tipple_a companion_n or_o gamester_n that_o put_v up_o the_o finger_n you_o be_v as_o ready_a to_o go_v as_o they_o to_o invite_v you_o the_o very_a sight_n

without_o delay_n but_o when_o god_n come_v when_o christ_n call_v when_o the_o spirit_n move_v when_o the_o minister_n persuade_v when_o conscience_n be_v convince_v we_o can_v have_v nothing_o after_o all_o but_o wish_n and_o purpose_n and_o promise_n with_o delay_n o_o what_o a_o stomach_n have_v that_o man_n or_o what_o a_o brain_n that_o will_v snatch_v at_o poison_n and_o swallow_v
