when_o we_o come_v to_o see_v he_o we_o may_v be_v pierce_v and_o be_v in_o bitterness_n for_o he_o yea_o 3._o that_o a_o soul_n may_v true_o and_o in_o earnest_n feel_v and_o discern_v its_o need_n

when_o god_n muster_v up_o our_o sin_n and_o set_v they_o in_o order_n before_o our_o eye_n psal_n 50.21_o when_o he_o will_v make_v sin_n appear_v exceed_o sinful_a to_o be_v abound_v sin_n when_o

i_o need_v not_o insist_v to_o prove_v this_o i_o may_v call_v the_o storm_a of_o a_o soul_n when_o christ_n take_v a_o soul_n by_o his_o great_a power_n sudden_o break_v down_o all_o the_o strong_a

his_o hand_n more_o sensible_o support_v it_o which_o i_o clear_v thus_o first_o if_o the_o seed_n of_o grace_n be_v sow_o early_o in_o the_o heart_n as_o sometime_o it_o be_v that_o some_o soul_n can_v remember_v the_o first_o work_n of_o it_o yet_o if_o the_o soul_n grow_v up_o to_o any_o measure_n of_o experience_n it_o must_v be_v more_o shake_v in_o order_n to_o its_o further_a subdue_a and_o purify_n it_o will_v meet_v with_o some_o kind_n of_o tempest_n ordinary_o i_o never_o speak_v with_o any_o as_o to_o this_o point_n but_o more_o or_o less_o do_v allow_v of_o it_o but_o when_o
