at_o it_o say_v he_o that_o the_o lord_n will_v keep_v this_o frame_n for_o ever_o keep_v this_o upon_o the_o imagination_n or_o figment_n of_o their_o heart_n for_o ever_o alas_o if_o he_o keep_v

if_o we_o hear_v and_o do_v not_o and_o yet_o who_o be_v clear_a in_o this_o point_n yea_o how_o often_o may_v we_o hear_v a_o practical_a truth_n press_v upon_o we_o before_o we_o practise_v it_o

to_o pass_v that_o your_o church_n your_o family_n your_o heart_n be_v so_o choke_v with_o tare_n and_o weed_n what_o can_v we_o answer_v he_o shall_v we_o have_v a_o word_n to_o say_v for_o

and_o however_o in_o the_o expression_n there_o seem_v to_o be_v no_o difference_n yet_o there_o be_v a_o difference_n sure_a between_o they_o to_o be_v find_v for_o it_o may_v be_v this_o may_v

to_o this_o first_o then_o remember_v this_o sinner_n at_o the_o best_a and_o hypocrite_n at_o the_o best_a their_o heart_n be_v asleep_a and_o the_o saint_n at_o the_o worst_a their_o heart_n be_v

at_o the_o heart_n his_o heart_n be_v dead_a indeed_o it_o be_v a_o dead_a sleep_n that_o be_v upon_o their_o heart_n and_o yet_o he_o walk_v up_o and_o down_o as_o man_n in_o a_o deep_a sleep_n

wake_v so_o the_o church_n i_o sleep_v but_o my_o heart_n wake_v in_o the_o deep_a sleep_n of_o the_o church_n of_o christ_n the_o heart_n be_v 2._o awake_a there_o be_v divers_a apprehension_n of_o
