worthy_a apostle_n and_o servant_n of_o the_o lord_n paul_n who_o lament_v in_o his_o day_n and_o time_n to_o this_o effect_n that_o all_o be_v seek_v after_o their_o own_o and_o not_o the_o thing_n

nothing_o but_o eternity_n in_o a_o dreadful_a manner_n seem_o to_o appear_v in_o my_o view_n and_o that_o which_o great_o exercise_v my_o distress_a mind_n be_v the_o unaccountable_a hardness_n of_o my_o heart_n when_o if_o the_o world_n have_v be_v in_o my_o power_n to_o have_v give_v i_o can_v glad_o have_v part_v with_o it_o to_o have_v have_v my_o hard_a heart_n break_v and_o tender_v by_o the_o good_a spirit_n of_o the_o lord_n and_o at_o that_o time_n to_o have_v witness_v last_v peace_n to_o my_o poor_a never_a die_a soul_n so_o the_o lord_n in_o great_a mercy_n unto_o i_o have_v

unto_o the_o lord_n for_o ever_o to_o bless_v and_o praise_v his_o honourable_a and_o worthy_a name_n so_o long_o as_o it_o may_v please_v the_o lord_n to_o give_v i_o a_o be_v in_o this_o mortal_a

all_o so_o as_o to_o leave_v all_o without_o excuse_n of_o what_o persuasion_n or_o judgement_n soever_o when_o he_o shall_v come_v to_o judgement_n and_o it_o be_v my_o belief_n that_o at_o that_o

go_v you_o curse_v into_o utter_a darkness_n etc._n etc._n and_o as_o before_o express_v have_v through_o the_o great_a goodness_n of_o the_o lord_n in_o some_o measure_n obtain_v forgiveness_n and_o
