smiter_n or_o reprover_n in_o every_o man_n breast_n call_v conscience_n i_o have_v almost_o say_v i_o appeal_v to_o every_o man_n conscience_n that_o there_o be_v a_o reprover_n in_o his_o breast_n which_o when_o he_o rush_v into_o sin_n as_o the_o horse_n into_o the_o battle_n and_o drink_v in_o sin_n as_o the_o fish_n do_v water_n curb_v and_o check_v he_o for_o so_o do_v tell_v he_o he_o

mind_v the_o errand_n for_o which_o god_n send_v he_o into_o the_o world_n and_o set_v all_o man_n upon_o the_o face_n of_o the_o earth_n viz._n to_o seek_v after_o god_n if_o happy_o they_o may_v feel_v after_o he_o and_o find_v he_o act_v 17._o v._o 27._o and_o tell_v he_o in_o case_n he_o do_v otherwise_o that_o he_o play_v jonah_n who_o set_v sail_n for_o tarshish_n when_o god_n send_v he_o to_o nineveh_n and_o may_v just_o expect_v that_o a_o storm_n of_o divine_a wrath_n will_v pursue_v he_o that_o he_o shall_v be_v cast_v into_o the_o deep_a into_o the_o midst_n of_o the_o sea_n and_o all_o god_n billow_n and_o wave_n shall_v pass_v over_o he_o as_o it_o be_v jonah_n 2.3_o tell_v he_o that_o since_o he_o name_v the_o name_n of_o christ_n he_o shall_v depart_v from_o all_o

upon_o every_o soul_n that_o obey_v not_o the_o truth_n upon_o the_o christian_n first_o and_o then_o upon_o the_o heathen_a for_o this_o be_v the_o condemnation_n that_o light_n be_v come_v into_o
