when_o all_o come_v to_o all_o they_o shall_v find_v it_o lie_v hollow_a and_o will_v be_v out_o before_o they_o be_v aware_a second_o consider_v how_o sickly_a and_o disease_a our_o sickly_a soul_n

the_o heart_n never_o dream_v of_o the_o imputation_n of_o sin_n as_o if_o he_o shall_v answer_v for_o sin_n and_o be_v damn_v for_o sin_n for_o ever_o he_o think_v the_o contrary_a before_o but_o

the_o infinite_a egg_v and_o itch_a of_o sin_n how_o it_o do_v work_v in_o i_o i_o see_v the_o life_n of_o imputation_n how_o all_o my_o sin_n be_v impute_v unto_o i_o and_o do_v all_o lie_n upon_o

some_o hope_n of_o eternal_a life_n in_o i_o i_o do_v not_o conclude_v that_o i_o be_v a_o dead_a man_n but_o when_o the_o law_n of_o god_n humble_v i_o and_o discover_v my_o estate_n plain_o unto_o i_o then_o i_o see_v i_o be_v a_o dead_a man_n indeed_o my_o heart_n fail_v i_o and_o the_o livelynesse_n that_o be_v in_o i_o before_o depart_v from_o i_o i_o see_v i_o be_v a_o dead_a man_n and_o

and_o the_o first_o work_n that_o prepare_v a_o man_n hereunto_o be_v the_o work_n of_o pull_v down_o the_o will_n and_o the_o pull_v down_o of_o a_o man_n heart_n for_o the_o will_n of_o man_n be_v

pull_v down_o his_o spirit_n now_o here_o be_v a_o doctrine_n to_o make_v way_n for_o this_o namely_o that_o when_o the_o lord_n take_v a_o man_n in_o obser_n hand_n to_o pull_v he_o down_o to_o pull_v down_o his_o will_n he_o do_v show_v he_o what_o a_o dead_a creature_n he_o be_v the_o lord_n by_o pronounce_v a_o man_n in_o his_o own_o bosom_n a_o dead_a man_n a_o damn_a man_n one_o that_o can_v no_o way_n help_v himself_o he_o be_v dead_a absolute_o dead_a in_o his_o own_o estate_n and_o in_o god_n account_n all_o his_o hope_n be_v rot_v he_o be_v mere_o a_o dead_a damn_a man_n hereby_o the_o lord_n pull_v down_o his_o will_n we_o may_v see_v this_o in_o paul_n before_o his_o conversion_n his_o will_n be_v full_a of_o obstinacy_n and_o rebellion_n against_o god_n he_o will_v go_v and_o make_v havoc_n of_o the_o church_n he_o will_v not_o submit_v to_o the_o will_n of_o god_n but_o when_o the_o lord_n come_v to_o work_v upon_o he_o saul_n saul_n why_o persecute_v thou_o i_o it_o be_v hard_o for_o thou_o to_o kick_v against_o the_o prick_n what_o will_v thou_o that_o i_o shall_v do_v lord_n say_v he_o act._n 9_o 6_o now_o his_o will_n be_v come_v down_o but_o mark_v

must_v be_v a_o time_n for_o the_o worship_n of_o god_n second_o there_o must_v be_v a_o set_a time_n because_o 2._o such_o be_v our_o dulness_n in_o the_o duty_n of_o god_n worship_n that_o we_o
