a_o exhortation_n give_v forth_o at_o the_o requiring_n of_o the_o lord_n in_o tender_a love_n to_o all_o that_o have_v be_v in_o any_o measure_n turn_v unto_o truth_n by_o the_o visitation_n of_o

the_o lord_n god_n eternal_a have_v manifest_v unto_o the_o child_n of_o man_n in_o that_o while_o they_o be_v in_o a_o state_n of_o disobedience_n &_o rebellion_n against_o his_o holy_a law_n in_o their_o heart_n which_o by_o nature_n all_o man_n and_o woman_n be_v as_o say_v the_o apostle_n paul_n we_o be_v all_o by_o nature_n child_n of_o wrath_n yet_o such_o be_v the_o love_n of_o god_n that_o in_o this_o state_n he_o be_v extend_v his_o grace_n and_o he_o be_v visit_v of_o mankind_n by_o his_o light_n and_o holy_a spirit_n in_o order_n to_o turn_v they_o from_o their_o evil_a way_n to_o serve_v the_o live_n and_o true_a god_n and_o to_o as_o many_o as_o true_o obey_v his_o call_n and_o turn_v unto_o he_o with_o their_o heart_n they_o come_v to_o partake_v of_o salvation_n and_o eternal_a life_n by_o he_o and_o among_o the_o many_o other_o who_o in_o the_o day_n of_o god_n visitation_n come_v to_o believe_v in_o he_o that_o visited_n the_o lord_n be_v please_v to_o reach_v unto_o my_o soul_n and_o to_o give_v i_o a_o understanding_n of_o my_o state_n and_o condition_n whereby_o i_o come_v to_o know_v and_o believe_v that_o it_o be_v the_o lord_n that_o then_o call_v unto_o i_o to_o forsake_v my_o sin_n and_o evil_a deed_n and_o my_o heart_n be_v affect_v with_o his_o goodness_n and_o i_o be_v make_v willing_a in_o some_o measure_n to_o turn_v from_o my_o

for_o want_v of_o keep_v low_a before_o the_o lord_n and_o dwell_v in_o the_o sense_n of_o that_o power_n that_o have_v reach_v unto_o i_o and_o begin_v my_o deliverance_n out_o of_o bondage_n i_o

so_o that_o although_o i_o keep_v in_o a_o form_n and_o profession_n of_o the_o truth_n of_o god_n yet_o than_o i_o want_v the_o enjoyment_n of_o the_o life_n and_o power_n that_o will_v have_v save_v i_o from_o sin_n and_o keep_v i_o from_o disobedience_n in_o unity_n and_o fellowship_n with_o my_o maker_n and_o in_o this_o deplorable_a state_n i_o remain_v many_o year_n walk_v in_o a_o way_n that_o be_v not_o acceptable_a to_o the_o lord_n though_o as_o to_o the_o outward_a i_o be_v a_o zealous_a for_o the_o form_n of_o truth_n and_o exercise_v in_o diverse_a service_n thereof_o as_o

will_v heal_v my_o backslide_n &_o will_v love_v i_o free_o and_o at_o length_n through_o the_o tender_a mercy_n of_o god_n who_o have_v long_o wait_v upon_o i_o to_o show_v himself_o gracious_a and_o

the_o lord_n that_o have_v so_o merciful_o deal_v by_o i_o at_o my_o first_o convincement_n and_o the_o sense_n hereof_o become_v a_o heavy_a burden_n upon_o my_o spirit_n and_o the_o lord_n raise_v up_o secret_a cry_n in_o my_o soul_n oh_o that_o i_o may_v be_v deliver_v from_o my_o sin_n that_o now_o separate_v i_o from_o the_o enjoyment_n of_o true_a peace_n and_o fellowship_n with_o my_o

profession_n of_o the_o truth_n and_o be_v constant_a in_o present_v my_o body_n before_o the_o lord_n but_o it_o please_v the_o lord_n after_o he_o have_v thus_o reach_v unto_o i_o and_o let_v i_o see_v my_o state_n to_o bring_v near_o his_o righteous_a judgement_n into_o my_o heart_n and_o to_o condemn_v sin_n in_o my_o mortal_a body_n whereby_o as_o i_o come_v to_o love_v his_o judgement_n and_o to_o submit_v thereunto_o i_o be_v bring_v down_o into_o the_o death_n unto_o that_o life_n i_o have_v former_o live_v in_o and_o the_o terror_n of_o the_o lord_n i_o come_v to_o feel_v and_o

therefore_o it_o be_v to_o be_v crucify_a and_o slay_v by_o the_o sword_n of_o god_n spirit_n and_o this_o be_v a_o day_n of_o great_a distress_n and_o bitterness_n of_o soul_n oh_o the_o sorrow_n and_o horror_n that_o i_o feel_v in_o my_o soul_n for_o my_o iniquity_n and_o then_o the_o enemy_n he_o also_o be_v busy_a to_o keep_v his_o possession_n in_o i_o find_v the_o lord_n at_o work_n to_o

but_o that_o the_o lord_n have_v whole_o forsake_v i_o and_o that_o be_v the_o cause_n i_o be_v now_o in_o trouble_n but_o after_o i_o have_v remain_v a_o little_a season_n in_o this_o condition_n it_o please_v the_o god_n of_o all_o mercy_n a_o little_a to_o appear_v and_o to_o afford_v i_o some_o glimpse_n of_o his_o love_n to_o bear_v up_o my_o head_n from_o sink_v in_o the_o day_n of_o my_o distress_n and_o although_o his_o judgement_n be_v heavy_a upon_o i_o for_o my_o sin_n yet_o this_o i_o come_v to_o witness_v in_o judgement_n the_o lord_n remember_v mercy_n as_o i_o be_v subject_a to_o he_o that_o judged_n and_o give_v up_o to_o answer_v he_o in_o the_o way_n of_o his_o judgement_n and_o in_o due_a time_n the_o lord_n do_v manifest_v more_o &_o more_o of_o his_o mercy_n towards_o i_o and_o although_o i_o go_v forth_o weep_v bear_v the_o precious_a seed_n yet_o there_o be_v a_o hope_n beget_v in_o i_o that_o the_o time_n will_v come_v i_o shall_v return_v again_o rejoice_v and_o bring_v my_o sheaf_n with_o i_o and_o now_o glory_n and_o praise_n be_v give_v unto_o the_o lord_n my_o god_n for_o ever_o the_o day_n be_v now_o begin_v to_o appear_v unto_o i_o and_o in_o i_o which_o be_v a_o day_n of_o gladness_n and_o of_o great_a joy_n even_o the_o day_n of_o my_o soul_n redemption_n and_o salvation_n from_o under_o the_o power_n of_o darkness_n and_o out_o of_o the_o region_n and_o shadow_n of_o death_n and_o to_o walk_v before_o the_o lord_n in_o newness_n of_o life_n and_o now_o i_o be_o come_v sensible_o to_o witness_v that_o it_o be_v the_o lord_n
