whereof_o prayer_n and_o instruction_n be_v a_o part_n moreover_o i_o demand_v whether_o you_o be_v ever_o angry_a or_o no_o asun_fw-it yes_o a_o hundred_o time_n in_o my_o day_n and_o i_o think_v there_o be_v no_o body_n but_o will_v be_v angry_a at_o one_o time_n or_o other_o especial_o when_o they_o have_v cause_n theol._n then_o you_o have_v break_v the_o six_o commandment_n which_o charge_v we_o to_o avoid_v wrath_n anger_n malice_n desire_v of_o revenge_n and_o all_o such_o like_a forerunner_n unto_o murder_n furthermore_o i_o ask_v you_o whether_o you_o do_v never_o look_v upon_o a_o woman_n with_o a_o lust_n in_o your_o heart_n asun_fw-it yes_o for_o i_o think_v there_o be_v no_o man_n free_a from_o thought_n that_o way_n i_o have_v think_v thought_n have_v be_v free_a theol._n no_o thought_n be_v not_o free_a before_o god_n for_o god_n know_v our_o thought_n and_o will_v punish_v we_o arraign_v we_o and_o condemn_v we_o for_o thought_n man_n know_v not_o thought_n and_o therefore_o can_v make_v not_o law_n against_o thought_n but_o because_o god_n be_v privy_a to_o all_o our_o most_o secret_a thought_n therefore_o he_o have_v make_v law_n against_o they_o and_o will_v condemn_v they_o therefore_o i_o conclude_v that_o if_o you_o have_v nourish_v adulterous_a thought_n in_o your_o heart_n you_o be_v guilty_a of_o the_o breach_n of_o the_o seven_o commandment_n which_o forbid_v all_o secret_a thought_n and_o provocation_n whatsoever_o to_o adultery_n but_o further_a i_o demand_v whether_o you_o do_v never_o pilfer_v purloin_v and_o steal_v some_o small_a thing_n from_o your_o neighbour_n as_o pasture_n poultry_n coney_n apple_n and_o such_o like_a asun_fw-it i_o can_v clear_v myself_o in_o these_o thing_n for_o i_o have_v think_v they_o have_v be_v no_o sin_n theol._n then_o have_v you_o break_v the_o eight_o commandment_n and_o stand_v guilty_a of_o eternal_a death_n for_o god_n in_o this_o commandment_n charge_v we_o to_o have_v

assure_o theol._n then_o have_v you_o break_v the_o nine_o commandment_n wherein_o god_n charge_v we_o both_o in_o witness_n bear_v and_o all_o other_o matter_n to_o speak_v the_o plain_a truth_n from_o our_o heart_n without_o lie_v or_o dissemble_v last_o of_o all_o i_o demand_v whether_o you_o do_v never_o in_o your_o heart_n desire_v something_o that_o be_v not_o your_o own_o as_o your_o neighbour_n house_n or_o ground_n kine_n or_o sheep_n etc._n etc._n therein_o betray_v the_o discontentment_n of_o your_o heart_n asun_fw-it i_o be_o as_o guilty_a in_o this_o as_o in_o any_o thing_n for_o god_n forgive_v i_o i_o have_v often_o desire_v and_o lust_v after_o this_o and_o that_o which_o be_v none_o of_o i_o own_o and_o so_o have_v bewray_v my_o discontentment_n theol._n then_o i_o perceive_v by_o your_o own_o confession_n that_o you_o be_v guilty_a of_o the_o breach_n of_o all_o the_o commandment_n asun_fw-it i_o must_v needs_o confess_v it_o for_o i_o see_v now_o more_o into_o that_o matter_n then_o ever_o i_o do_v i_o never_o hear_v so_o much_o before_o in_o my_o life_n nor_o be_v ever_o ask_v any_o such_o question_n as_o you_o ask_v i_o i_o have_v think_v many_o of_o those_o thing_n which_o you_o ask_v i_o have_v be_v no_o sin_n at_o all_o theol._n i_o can_v have_v convict_v you_o in_o a_o thousand_o other_o particular_n wherein_o you_o do_v daily_a and_o hourly_o

into_o the_o meaning_n of_o the_o law_n that_o thereby_o you_o may_v be_v bring_v to_o some_o better_a sight_n of_o yourself_o and_o may_v a_o little_a perceive_v in_o what_o case_n you_o stand_v before_o god_n and_o by_o that_o little_a conceive_v a_o great_a deal_n more_o asun_fw-it well_o now_o i_o do_v plain_o see_v that_o i_o have_v be_v deceive_v and_o be_o not_o in_o so_o good_a

indeed_o they_o be_v in_o blindness_n and_o in_o their_o sin_n but_o lord_n have_v mercy_n upon_o we_o i_o do_v now_o plain_o see_v that_o i_o be_o far_o from_o keep_v the_o commandment_n and_o i_o

the_o apostle_n say_v by_o the_o law_n come_v the_o knowledge_n of_o sin_n therefore_o those_o which_o be_v altogether_o ignorant_a of_o the_o law_n and_o never_o behold_v themselves_o in_o this_o
