the_o lord_n maior_n lift_v up_o himself_o and_o lay_v his_o hand_n on_o his_o breast_n oh_o say_v he_o my_o god_n be_v a_o infininite_a incomprehensible_a spirit_n 6._o what_o say_v i_o without_o a_o

the_o say_v the_o mayor_n unto_o i_o must_v i_o believe_v you_o 11._o yea_o say_v i_o that_o you_o must_v or_o you_o will_v be_v damn_v 12._o then_o there_o be_v a_o gentlewoman_n in_o the_o court_n call_v out_o and_o say_v mr._n reeve_n pray_v tell_v i_o what_o the_o devil_n be_v 13._o john_n answer_v with_o a_o loud_a voice_n and_o say_v thy_o own_o soul_n be_v the_o devil_n 14._o then_o one_o of_o the_o officer_n say_v unto_o the_o woman_n i_o think_v he_o have_v meet_v with_o you_o now_o 15._o then_o the_o lord_n maior_n ask_v the_o accuser_n if_o they_o will_v be_v bind_v in_o 40_o l._n

act_n of_o parliament_n which_o be_v new_o make_v against_o blasphemy_n so_o the_o mayor_n read_v this_o passage_n in_o it_o that_o if_o any_o man_n shall_v say_v that_o he_o be_v god_n and_o that_o

what_o have_v you_o to_o do_v with_o this_o act_n you_o be_v a_o temporal_a magistrate_n and_o aught_o to_o judge_n of_o temporal_a thing_n between_o man_n and_o man_n 18._o and_o you_o be_v to_o do_v

be_v not_o to_o judge_v of_o blasphemy_n against_o god_n nor_o those_o that_o make_v this_o act_n neither_o 19_o why_o say_v the_o mayor_n must_v i_o believe_v you_o 20._o yea_o say_v i_o that_o you_o must_v else_o you_o will_v be_v damn_v 21._o for_o god_n have_v choose_v we_o two_o to_o be_v the_o judge_n of_o blasphemy_n against_o god_n and_o have_v give_v we_o power_n to_o pronounce_v sentence_n of_o damnation_n upon_o all_o those_o that_o do_v blaspheme_n against_o that_o god_n which_o be_v a_o person_n which_o you_o do_v deny_v 22._o why_o say_v he_o again_o must_v i_o believe_v you_o 23._o yea_o say_v i_o else_o you_o will_v be_v damn_v 24._o many_o thing_n more_o than_o what_o be_v here_o write_v be_v speak_v at_o that_o time_n but_o these_o be_v of_o most_o concernment_n to_o take_v notice_n of_o 25._o and_o when_o this_o dispute_n and_o examination_n be_v end_v the_o lord_n maior_n ask_v if_o we_o will_v put_v in_o bail_n and_o we_o say_v no._n 26._o so_o he_o give_v

weigh_v it_o in_o my_o mind_n and_o be_v loath_a to_o forsake_v it_o 16._o then_o i_o consider_v my_o soul_n be_v of_o more_o value_n and_o what_o will_v it_o avail_v i_o to_o be_v rich_a in_o this_o world_n for_o a_o moment_n and_o to_o loose_v my_o soul_n for_o i_o be_v extreme_o fearful_a of_o eternal_a damnation_n think_v my_o soul_n may_v go_v into_o hell_n fire_n without_o a_o body_n as_o all_o people_n do_v at_o that_o time_n 17._o and_o after_o much_o struggle_a in_o my_o mind_n i_o come_v to_o this_o resolution_n in_o myself_o that_o rather_o than_o i_o will_v loose_v my_o soul_n or_o be_v damn_v to_o eternity_n i_o will_v loose_v the_o maid_n and_o that_o way_n that_o will_v have_v make_v i_o rich_a and_o that_o i_o will_v be_v zealous_a of_o the_o law_n of_o god_n as_o afterward_o i_o be_v 18._o here_o the_o two_o seed_n of_o faith_n and_o reason_n do_v work_v in_o i_o but_o i_o know_v they_o not_o by_o name_n nor_o nature_n at_o that_o time_n nor_o many_o year_n after_o 19_o but_o as_o i_o do_v fear_v it_o come_v to_o pass_v for_o the_o maid_n mother_n see_v my_o mind_n so_o change_v and_o so_o zealous_a of_o the_o law_n of_o the_o scripture_n and_o that_o i_o will_v not_o keep_v that_o way_n as_o i_o think_v to_o do_v before_o 20._o she_o will_v not_o let_v her_o daughter_n have_v i_o to_o her_o husband_n so_o the_o maid_n be_v persuade_v by_o her_o mother_n 21._o and_o my_o zeal_n to_o save_v my_o soul_n persuade_v my_o mind_n to_o let_v she_o go_v so_o we_o part_v 22._o thus_o i_o forsake_v the_o world_n and_o a_o wife_n which_o i_o love_v in_o the_o day_n of_o my_o ignorance_n for_o zeal_n to_o the_o law_n of_o god_n which_o i_o think_v to_o be_v truth_n and_o the_o true_a way_n and_o so_o it_o be_v 23._o but_o i_o do_v not_o know_v it_o till_o many_o year_n after_o but_o the_o lord_n god_n of_o truth_n have_v respect_n unto_o my_o person_n and_o zeal_n at_o that_o time_n and_o prevent_v i_o from_o fall_v into_o that_o snare_n of_o be_v rich_a in_o this_o world_n cap._n v._o the_o prophet_n show_v his_o care_n his_o fear_n and_o zeal_n in_o the_o law_n of_o god_n and_o of_o the_o work_n of_o his_o thought_n and_o height_n of_o the_o puritan_n religion_n 1._o so_o after_o i_o have_v part_v with_o the_o maid_n and_o that_o way_n that_o do_v offend_v my_o conscience_n i_o be_v resolve_v to_o live_v so_o upright_o to_o the_o law_n of_o god_n and_o so_o just_a between_o man_n and_o man_n that_o i_o think_v in_o time_n i_o may_v procure_v favour_n with_o god_n and_o to_o attain_v assurance_n of_o my_o salvation_n 2._o for_o i_o be_v full_o possess_v that_o there_o be_v real_o salvation_n to_o be_v attain_v unto_o by_o my_o righteousness_n and_o that_o there_o be_v a_o real_a damnation_n to_o all_o those_o that_o be_v unrighteous_a or_o do_v not_o demean_v themselves_o so_o strict_o as_o i_o do_v 3._o for_o i_o be_v exceed_v fearful_a of_o hell_n and_o eternal_a damnation_n the_o very_a thought_n of_o it_o make_v my_o spirit_n many_o time_n fail_v within_o i_o 4._o but_o by_o prayer_n and_o my_o righteous_a practice_n i_o do_v many_o time_n recover_v some_o hope_n and_o peace_n again_o 5._o all_o this_o while_n i_o do_v suppose_v my_o soul_n may_v go_v into_o hell_n without_o a_o body_n and_o that_o million_o of_o soul_n be_v in_o hellfire_n without_o body_n and_o that_o the_o devil_n be_v a_o bodily_a spirit_n do_v torment_v those_o soul_n that_o come_v there_o and_o that_o the_o devil_n have_v liberty_n to_o come_v out_o of_o hell_n to_o tempt_v people_n here_o on_o earth_n and_o go_v there_o again_o but_o no_o soul_n that_o he_o have_v get_v there_o can_v come_v out_o of_o hell_n more_o 6._o these_o thing_n wrought_v in_o my_o mind_n exceed_v great_a fear_n and_o stir_v i_o up_o to_o a_o more_o exceed_a righteousness_n of_o life_n think_v thereby_o that_o my_o righteous_a life_n will_v have_v cast_v out_o those_o torment_a fear_n but_o it_o do_v not_o 7._o yet_o notwithstanding_o i_o do_v continue_v in_o my_o zeal_n and_o be_v earnest_a in_o the_o puritan_n religion_n and_o practice_n neither_o do_v i_o know_v how_o to_o find_v rest_v any_o where_o else_o neither_o do_v i_o hear_v any_o preach_v in_o those_o day_n but_o the_o puritan_n minister_n who_o hair_n be_v cut_v short_a 8._o for_o if_o a_o man_n with_o long_a hair_n have_v go_v into_o the_o pulpit_n to_o preach_v i_o will_v have_v go_v out_o of_o the_o church_n again_o though_o he_o may_v preach_v better_a than_o the_o other_o 9_o but_o we_o puritan_n be_v pharisaical_o mind_v be_v zealous_a of_o outward_a appearance_n and_o of_o outward_a behaviour_n for_o we_o mind_v that_o more_o than_o their_o doctrine_n 10._o for_o we_o take_v it_o for_o grant_v that_o god_n be_v a_o spirit_n without_o a_o body_n and_o that_o christ_n jesus_n his_o son_n have_v a_o body_n in_o form_n like_o man_n and_o that_o he_o do_v mediate_v to_o god_n his_o father_n who_o be_v a_o spirit_n without_o a_o body_n and_o that_o for_o christ_n sake_n this_o spirit_n without_o a_o body_n do_v hear_v we_o and_o speak_v peace_n unto_o we_o 11._o also_o i_o believe_v that_o the_o devil_n be_v a_o spirit_n without_o a_o body_n and_o can_v assend_v out_o of_o hell_n when_o god_n do_v give_v he_o leave_v and_o suge_a evil_a thought_n of_o lust_n theft_n murder_n and_o blasphemy_n against_o god_n not_o think_v that_o these_o thought_n and_o motion_n do_v arise_v out_o of_o man_n own_o heart_n but_o from_o a_o devil_n a_o spirit_n without_o a_o body_n without_o man._n 12._o also_o i_o think_v those_o soul_n which_o god_n do_v save_o be_v carry_v up_o to_o heaven_n without_o body_n and_o shall_v be_v with_o god_n who_o be_v a_o spirit_n without_o a_o body_n and_o that_o we_o shall_v see_v christ_n jesus_n in_o heaven_n with_o his_o body_n with_o our_o spirit_n that_o be_v save_v without_o body_n till_o the_o resurrection_n and_o then_o body_n and_o soul_n shall_v be_v unite_v together_o again_o 13._o also_o we_o do_v believe_v that_o the_o wicked_a spirit_n shall_v be_v cast_v into_o hell_n fire_n without_o body_n where_o the_o devil_n and_o his_o angel_n be_v spirit_n without_o body_n shall_v torment_n the_o soul_n of_o the_o wicked_a till_o the_o day_n of_o resurrection_n and_o then_o those_o wicked_a soul_n shall_v be_v unite_v to_o their_o body_n again_o and_o be_v torment_v body_n and_o soul_n together_o with_o the_o devil_n and_o his_o angel_n who_o be_v spirit_n without_o body_n in_o hell_n fire_n for_o ever_o and_o ever_o 14._o and_o we_o do_v believe_v that_o the_o angel_n of_o god_n be_v minister_a spirit_n without_o body_n as_o god_n be_v a_o spirit_n without_o a_o body_n so_o be_v they_o and_o can_v minister_v comfort_n unto_o man_n without_o body_n 15._o and_o we_o do_v believe_v our_o own_o soul_n to_o be_v immortal_a and_o can_v not_o die_v but_o do_v subsist_v the_o good_a spirit_n with_o god_n in_o heaven_n without_o body_n and_o the_o wicked_a soul_n do_v subsist_v in_o hell_n without_o body_n 16._o these_o be_v some_o of_o the_o fundamental_a principle_n of_o faith_n and_o religion_n we_o zealous_a puritan_n do_v believe_v and_o practice_n and_o there_o be_v no_o better_a faith_n in_o the_o world_n to_o this_o day_n in_o the_o generality_n of_o professor_n of_o religion_n 17._o these_o thing_n be_v i_o very_o well_o verse_v in_o and_o i_o grow_v in_o great_a experience_n and_o knowledge_n in_o the_o letter_n of_o the_o scripture_n and_o have_v a_o good_a gift_n of_o prayer_n and_o be_v very_o strong_a in_o dispute_n because_o my_o mind_n be_v extreme_o perplex_v with_o the_o fear_n of_o hell_n notwithstanding_o my_o exact_a life_n to_o the_o letter_n of_o the_o law_n 18._o but_o the_o fear_n of_o hell_n wrought_v in_o i_o much_o experience_n so_o that_o i_o do_v exceed_v several_a other_o man_n in_o that_o knowledge_n which_o be_v in_o those_o day_n and_o though_o i_o be_v judge_v a_o very_a godly_a knowing-man_n and_o a_o happy_a man_n by_o other_o yet_o i_o can_v not_o judge_v so_o of_o myself_o but_o the_o fear_n of_o hell_n be_v oft_o rise_v up_o in_o i_o 19_o for_o i_o never_o conceit_a well_o of_o my_o own_o knowledge_n but_o think_v the_o knowledge_n of_o other_o man_n do_v far_o exceed_v i_o because_o they_o seem_v to_o be_v better_o satisfy_v in_o their_o mind_n than_o i_o be_v
