of_o your_o conscience_n which_o no_o one_o else_o can_v accuse_v you_o of_o but_o yet_o you_o be_v not_o then_o direct_v unto_o it_o as_o you_o be_v now_o counsel_v and_o therefore_o can_v not_o know_v the_o power_n and_o virtue_n because_o you_o never_o prove_v its_o force_n strength_n and_o virtue_n through_o a_o perfect_a love_n yield_a in_o obedience_n unto_o its_o motion_n and_o often_o check_v of_o your_o mind_n wherefore_o this_o be_v the_o happy_a day_n of_o your_o visitation_n wherein_o it_o be_v tell_v you_o that_o if_o you_o love_v that_o light_n which_o show_v you_o the_o

and_o therefore_o i_o must_v needs_o conclude_v that_o he_o be_v most_o extreme_o sinful_a and_o desperate_o evil_a that_o say_v he_o desire_v to_o be_v deliver_v from_o all_o sin_n and_o evil_n
