sovereign_a grace_n to_o conclude_v 3_o i_o propose_v this_o exhortation_n to_o all_o the_o believe_a pray_v people_n of_o god_n with_o we_o o_o believe_v and_o pray_v improve_v this_o great_a promise_n by_o faith_n in_o praver_fw-mi that_o god_n may_v have_v mercy_n upon_o new-england_n and_o save_o we_o by_o himself_o in_o a_o way_n of_o sovereign_a grace_n it_o be_v high_a time_n thus_o to_o believe_v and_o pray_v and_o to_o this_o end_n 1._o we_o must_v take_v heed_n that_o we_o do_v not_o presume_v upon_o sovereign_a grace_n which_o we_o be_v apt_a and_z i_o fear_v we_o begin_v to_o do_v we_o must_v therefore_o remember_v that_o god_n have_v not_o by_o his_o covenant_n absolute_o engage_v the_o absolute_a sufficiency_n of_o his_o sovereign_a grace_n for_o the_o salvation_n of_o his_o people_n but_o he_o have_v engage_v himself_o only_o according_o to_o the_o ordinate_a &_o ordinary_a work_n of_o his_o grace_n and_o mercy_n to_o a_o repent_v believe_a obedient_a reform_v people_n god_n be_v not_o wont_a to_o save_o a_o hard_a heart_a impenitent_a unbelieving_a disobedient_a people_n continune_v in_o their_o sin_n slight_v neglect_v abuse_v &_o reject_v ordinary_a mercy_n offer_v to_o they_o i_o say_v god_n be_v not_o wont_a to_o save_o such_o a_o people_n by_o sovereign_a grace_n he_o do_v seldom_o if_o ever_o supersede_n this_o course_n &_o process_n of_o he_o with_o such_o a_o people_n by_o sovereign_a mercy_n he_o do_v rare_o save_o such_o a_o generation_n who_o have_v first_o provoke_v he_o to_o enter_v into_o judgement_n by_o sovereign_a mercy_n it_o be_v therefore_o dangerous_a to_o presume_v upon_o sovereign_a grace_n 2._o we_o must_v remember_v also_o that_o the_o promise_n of_o sovereign_a mercy_n be_v make_v only_o to_o mourner_n to_o a_o people_n bring_v down_o to_o such_o a_o depth_n &_o degree_n of_o mourning_n &_o humiliation_n that_o their_o spirit_n their_o heart_n their_o soul_n be_v ready_a to_o faint_v &_o fail_v within_o

comfort_n to_o he_o and_o to_o his_o mourner_n etc._n etc._n true_o we_o must_v expect_v that_o god_n will_v make_v new-england_n mourn_v until_o our_o spirit_n our_o heart_n be_v ready_a to_o faint_v within_o we_o before_o he_o will_v save_o we_o by_o sovereign_a grace_n with_o these_o caution_n all_o the_o sincere_a people_n of_o god_n in_o the_o land_n may_v &_o aught_o to_o set_v themselves_o to_o believe_v &_o pray_v with_o confidence_n &_o comfort_n for_o the_o accomplishment_n of_o this_o glorious_a promise_n of_o salvation_n and_o have_v not_o good_a but_o great_a encouragement_n so_o
