searcher_n of_o my_o heart_n and_o preserver_n of_o my_o soul_n do_v thou_o not_o see_v how_o cold_a sometime_o i_o be_o in_o prayer_n how_o dull_a in_o the_o hear_n of_o the_o word_n how_o careless_a of_o thy_o sabbath_n how_o unconscionable_a and_o negligent_a in_o my_o call_n how_o rebellious_a and_o inordinate_a in_o my_o affection_n o_o how_o often_o have_v i_o greeve_v thy_o holy_a spirit_n by_o neglect_v the_o good_a motion_n thereof_o yea_o many_o time_n willing_o cross_v the_o same_o and_o entertain_v contrary_a suggestion_n of_o my_o cruel_a enemy_n how_o careless_a have_v i_o be_v to_o examaine_v my_o heart_n and_o renew_v my_o covenant_n with_o thou_o how_o deceitful_a or_o careless_a in_o break_v often_o my_o vow_n which_o i_o have_v make_v unto_o thou_o against_o special_a corruption_n for_o renuw_v of_o decay_a grace_n o_o how_o often_o have_v i_o be_v ready_a to_o give_v way_n to_o such_o curse_a thought_n of_o blasphemy_n and_o fearful_a impiety_n which_o may_v even_o quench_v thy_o spirit_n &_o lead_v to_o the_o dispight_v thereof_o how_o have_v i_o sometime_o be_v ready_a to_o violate_v my_o conscience_n by_o rush_v on_o desperate_a evil_n yea_o how_o fearful_o have_v i_o wound_v the_o same_o by_o commit_v gross_a sin_n and_o to_o make_v up_o the_o measure_n of_o my_o misery_n how_o have_v i_o harden_v my_o heart_n by_o sleep_v in_o sin_n and_o neglect_v the_o save_a mean_n of_o deep_a humiliation_n to_o awaken_v i_o to_o repentance_n alas_o lord_n thou_o know_v full_a well_o that_o though_o thou_o have_v follow_v i_o with_o many_o secret_a and_o open_a affliction_n to_o rouse_v i_o out_o of_o this_o sleep_n of_o security_n yet_o either_o it_o have_v prove_v but_o a_o dream_n and_o so_o i_o have_v fall_v asleep_a again_o or_o if_o my_o

world_n to_o procure_v some_o temporary_a lenity_n rather_o to_o ease_v my_o present_a pain_n then_o to_o heal_v i_o thorough_o and_o sure_o righteous_a lord_n even_o thus_o it_o have_v befall_v that_o such_o as_o i_o have_v sow_o i_o have_v often_o reap_v even_o more_o hardness_n of_o heart_n less_o sense_n and_o remorse_n for_o sin_n more_o boldness_n thereto_o and_o more_o ease_n therein_o less_o delight_n in_o holy_a duty_n less_o life_n in_o prayer_n less_o conscience_n in_o the_o word_n more_o slight_n in_o my_o call_n more_o distraction_n in_o my_o reckon_n and_o more_o confusion_n in_o my_o spirit_n yet_o still_o o_o lord_n i_o hear_v a_o voice_n behind_o i_o say_v this_o be_v the_o way_n walk_v in_o it_o yet_o still_o i_o find_v thy_o hand_n over_o i_o to_o stay_v i_o from_o

still_o thy_o spirit_n be_v ready_a to_o revive_v i_o with_o hope_n that_o i_o may_v recover_v again_o and_o my_o hope_n be_v confirm_v hereby_o that_o the_o mean_n be_v still_o offer_v i_o and_o i_o be_o capable_a of_o they_o but_o alas_o lord_n instead_o of_o comfort_n by_o they_o i_o reap_v nothing_o but_o further_a confusion_n because_o as_o i_o be_o unable_a to_o apply_v they_o to_o myself_o so_o indeed_o i_o be_o not_o now_o fit_a for_o that_o comfort_n which_o i_o seek_v for_o in_o thou_o for_o what_o peace_n can_v there_o be_v to_o i_o while_o my_o corruption_n stink_v before_o thou_o or_o how_o can_v i_o look_v for_o comfort_n b●fore_o i_o be_v sound_o heal_v o_o the_o unspeakable_a riches_n of_o the_o wisdom_n and_o mercy_n of_o my_o god_n how_o insearchable_a be_v thy_o counsel_n and_o thy_o way_n past_o find_v out_o as_o thou_o do_v bring_v light_n out_o of_o darkness_n in_o call_v i_o from_o darkness_n unto_o light_n so_o do_v thou_o cause_v thy_o light_n to_o shine_v in_o darkness_n that_o thy_o glory_n may_v be_v perfect_v in_o my_o infirmity_n and_o therefore_o though_o i_o be_o now_o thy_o creature_n renew_v after_o thy_o own_o image_n yet_o see_v thou_o will_v have_v the_o only_a glory_n of_o thy_o work_n therefore_o as_o the_o light_n of_o the_o righteous_a must_v shine_v more_o and_o more_o unto_o the_o perfect_a day_n so_o the_o darkness_n of_o corruption_n must_v not_o be_v dispel_v utter_o at_o once_o but_o daily_o be_v banish_v more_o and_o more_o unto_o the_o come_n of_o christ_n therefore_o be_v it_o bless_a lord_n that_o though_o thou_o have_v cancel_v the_o guilt_n of_o my_o sin_n at_o once_o by_o faith_n in_o christ_n yet_o have_v thou_o wise_o leave_v the_o corruption_n of_o sin_n to_o be_v abolish_v by_o degree_n that_o so_o i_o may_v still_o live_v by_o faith_n in_o the_o death_n of_o christ_n for_o the_o mortify_n thereof_o that_o i_o
