faithful_o admonish_v and_o not_o in_o the_o least_o bolster_v up_o in_o our_o wickedness_n if_o when_o we_o see_v ruin_v just_a before_o our_o eye_n we_o will_v not_o go_v out_o of_o our_o way_n to_o

pretend_v to_o the_o ministry_n that_o have_v lay_v down_o principle_n to_o encourage_v man_n in_o wickedness_n and_o irreligion_n and_o therefore_o if_o we_o will_v notwithstanding_o run_v on_o in_o our_o evil_a course_n it_o be_v a_o sign_n we_o have_v no_o heart_n to_o any_o thing_n else_o but_o that_o this_o be_v our_o inclination_n nay_o our_o resolution_n and_o that_o we_o be_v unreformable_a must_v perish_v because_o we_o have_v no_o mind_n to_o be_v save_v in_o god_n way_n but_o to_o hurry_v on_o to_o destruction_n in_o our_o own_o never_o any_o nation_n perhaps_o perish_v if_o we_o must_v be_v undo_v against_o so_o much_o reason_n against_o such_o plain_a warning_n against_o so_o many_o mercy_n to_o invite_v we_o to_o do_v better_o and_o so_o many_o judgement_n to_o

a_o wedding_n garment_n perfect_o speechless_a a_o sad_a and_o most_o wretched_a condition_n sad_n because_o we_o shall_v be_v extreme_o miserable_a and_o sad_a because_o we_o shall_v not_o be_v
