moreover_o my_o brethren_n &_o friend_n it_o remain_v that_o this_o book_n be_v not_o only_o in_o our_o hand_n but_o also_o in_o our_o heart_n and_o if_o we_o have_v any_o desire_n to_o amend_v ous_a life_n let_v it_o not_o be_v defer_v till_o to_o morrow_n for_o when_o to_o morrow_n shall_v come_v we_o will_v yet_o refer_v all_o to_o the_o next_o day_n and_o so_o consequent_o the_o whole_a year_n shall_v pass_v yea_o our_o whole_a life_n if_o then_o at_o this_o present_a hour_n there_o be_v some_o little_a good_a affection_n in_o we_o let_v we_o not_o suffer_v it_o to_o be_v quench_v let_v we_o not_o kill_v that_o grace_n which_o god_n have_v give_v we_o but_o to_o the_o contrary_a by_o all_o mean_n which_o shall_v be_v possible_a to_o we_o let_v we_o endeavour_n ourselves_o in_o such_o sort_n that_o from_o hour_n to_o hour_n it_o may_v not_o only_o be_v confirm_v but_o also_o augment_v god_n be_v merciful_a enough_o and_o liberal_a to_o grant_v we_o our_o request_n but_o he_o will_v be_v importunate_v not_o in_o his_o own_o regard_n but_o we_o for_o he_o know_v how_o backward_o we_o be_v to_o pray_v and_o call_v upon_o he_o and_o how_o soon_o we_o be_v weary_a of_o it_o although_o we_o shall_v desire_v nothing_o more_o in_o this_o world_n for_o it_o be_v no_o small_a thing_n to_o speak_v unto_o god_n and_o which_o ought_v yet_o more_o to_o move_v we_o be_v that_o he_o do_v willing_o hearken_v unto_o we_o and_o never_o put_v back_o those_o which_o come_v unto_o he_o i_o speak_v this_o because_o i_o see_v not_o that_o by_o any_o other_o better_a mean_n we_o can_v prevent_v confusion_n than_o by_o prayer_n sure_o if_o ever_o man_n have_v need_v of_o this_o aid_n we_o be_v in_o great_a necessity_n of_o it_o in_o these_o last_o day_n and_o old_a age_n of_o the_o world_n for_o we_o must_v not_o doubt_v but_o that_o satan_n now_o do_v set_v himself_o in_o arm_n perceive_v well_o that_o the_o hour_n draw_v near_o that_o he_o shall_v not_o be_v able_a to_o do_v that_o which_o he_o have_v do_v heretofore_o and_o that_o the_o son_n of_o god_n must_v be_v manifest_v to_o all_o creature_n and_o that_o then_o the_o perfection_n ought_v to_o come_v of_o the_o

it_o remain_v that_o we_o shall_v do_v the_o like_a for_o we_o that_o we_o may_v be_v furnish_v with_o all_o celestial_a armour_n and_o that_o we_o be_v not_o daunt_v with_o all_o his_o plot_n and_o treachery_n for_o sure_o the_o victory_n be_v in_o our_o hand_n so_o that_o we_o fight_v against_o he_o and_o not_o with_o he_o as_o do_v almost_o all_o the_o world_n at_o this_o day_n although_o that_o the_o most_o part_n think_v the_o contrary_a for_o so_o they_o have_v the_o name_n of_o a_o christian_a and_o be_v without_o reproach_n before_o man_n who_o be_v no_o better_a than_o
