will_v mourn_v in_o sack_n cloth_n like_o the_o ninevite_n upon_o my_o head_n i_o will_v dust_v and_o ash_n strow_v like_o josuah_n the_o curse_a canaanite_n i_o mean_v those_o sin_n that_o seek_v

do_v breed_v even_o godly_a sorrow_n whereon_o i_o do_v feeed_o that_o i_o may_v purge_v out_o with_o this_o earbe_n of_o grace_n those_o filthy_a thing_n that_o will_v my_o soul_n deface_v under_o sin_n burden_n i_o do_v lie_n and_o groan_v for_o i_o be_o weary_a of_o my_o wickedness_n therefore_o oh_o lord_n to_o thou_o i_o make_v my_o moan_n oh_o hear_v i_o thou_o and_o help_v i_o in_o distress_n and_o let_v not_o sin_n nor_o satan_n subtilnes_n subvert_v my_o soul_n nor_o bring_v she_o unto_o shame_n because_o she_o hope_n and_o trust_v in_o thy_o name_n with_o the_o proud_a

whereby_o alone_a both_o i_o and_o all_o man_n must_v be_v justify_v and_o purge_v from_o our_o sin_n upon_o repentance_n or_o else_o die_v therein_o which_o be_v most_o fearful_a who_o dare_v venture_v on_o it_o what_o wretch_n be_v that_o will_v unrepentant_a die_v my_o heart_n do_v tremble_v for_o to_o think_v upon_o it_o oh_o mortal_a man_n confess_v thy_o misery_n and_o eke_o repent_v thou_o and_o that_o speedy_o for_o he_o that_o hide_v his_o sin_n within_o his_o breast_n he_o be_v the_o man_n who_o god_n do_v most_o detest_v and_o wherein_o be_v it_o we_o offend_v not_o all_o
