sin_v that_o god_n may_v be_v justify_v and_o what_o can_v be_v more_o say_v for_o justify_v of_o a_o sin_n then_o to_o say_v it_o be_v do_v for_o justify_v of_o god_n but_o far_o be_v it_o from_o david_n to_o have_v any_o such_o meaning_n his_o word_n import_v not_o a_o lessen_v but_o a_o aggravate_v of_o his_o sin_n as_o speak_v rather_o thus_o because_o a_o judge_n may_v just_o be_v tax_v of_o injustice_n if_o he_o lie_v a_o great_a punishment_n upon_o a_o offender_n than_o the_o offence_n deserve_v therefore_o to_o clear_v thou_o o_o god_n from_o all_o possibility_n of_o err_v in_o this_o kind_n i_o acknowledge_v my_o si●s_n to_o be_v so_o heinous_a my_o offence_n so_o grievous_a that_o thou_o can_v never_o be_v unmerciful_a in_o punish_v though_o thy_o punish_v shall_v be_v never_o so_o unmerciful_a for_o how_o can_v a_o judge_n pass_v the_o bound_n of_o equity_n where_o the_o delinquent_n have_v pass_v all_o bound_n of_o iniquity_n and_o what_o error_n can_v there_o be_v in_o thy_o be_v severe_a when_o the_o greatness_n of_o my_o fault_n be_v a_o justification_n of_o severity_n that_o thou_o can_v not_o lay_v so_o heavy_a a_o doom_n upon_o i_o which_o i_o have_v not_o deserve_v thou_o can_v not_o pronounce_v so_o hard_a a_o sentence_n against_o i_o which_o i_o be_o not_o worthy_a of_o if_o thou_o judge_v i_o to_o torture_v it_o be_v but_o mildness_n if_o to_o die_v the_o death_n it_o be_v but_o my_o due_n if_o to_o die_v everlasting_o i_o can_v say_v it_o be_v unjust_a yet_o in_o judgement_n o_o lord_n remember_v mercy_n consider_v not_o how_o foul_a i_o be_o become_v but_o how_o i_o be_o become_v foul_a for_o though_o my_o sin_n be_v great_a yet_o i_o be_v not_o the_o beginner_n of_o it_o for_o behold_v i_o be_v bear_v in_o iniquity_n and_o in_o sin_n have_v my_o mother_n conceive_v i_o 5._o and_o see_v my_o birth_n do_v not_o amend_v my_o conception_n how_o shall_v my_o growth_n amend_v my_o birth_n do_v not_o sin_n at_o least_o the_o

see_v all_o the_o part_n of_o my_o soul_n and_o body_n have_v increase_v and_o grow_v great_a since_o my_o birth_n will_v not_o he_o look_v that_o si●ne_v also_o shall_v have_v a_o share_n in_o grow_v as_o well_o as_o they_o do_v any_o thing_n grow_v so_o fast_o as_o a_o weed_n and_o be_v there_o any_o so_o very_a a_o weed_n as_o fin_n have_v it_o not_o be_v grow_v ever_o since_o i_o be_v bear_v and_o can_v so_o fast_o grow_v in_o so_o long_o grow_v make_v less_o than_o a_o monster_n and_o be_o i_o a_o fit_a champion_n to_o encounter_v monster_n indeed_o i_o encounter_v a_o bear_n and_o slay_v he_o a_o lion_n and_o kill_v he_o a_o giant_n and_o overcome_v he_o but_o these_o be_v no_o monster_n at_o lest_o no_o monster_n to_o be_v compare_v with_o sin_n oh_o the_o monstrousness_n of_o sin_n far_o hard_a to_o be_v vanquish_v than_o all_o the_o monster_n that_o ever_o nature_n make_v for_o i_o can_v vanquish_v a_o bear_n a_o lion_n giant_n the_o great_a of_o nature_n monster_n but_o with_o all_o my_o force_n have_v not_o be_v able_a to_o vanquish_v this_o monster_n sinne._n but_o why_o be_o i_o partial_a towards_o my_o parent_n and_o charge_v my_o poor_a mother_n with_o conceive_v i_o in_o sin_n but_o let_v my_o father_n pass_v without_o blame_n or_o be_v it_o that_o to_o say_v i_o be_v bear_v in_o sin_n be_v as_o much_o as_o to_o say_v i_o be_v beget_v i●_n sin_n and_o so_o my_o father_n have_v a_o share_n of_o my_o sin_n in_o beget_v i_o as_o well_o as_o my_o mother_n in_o conceive_v i_o indeed_o if_o eve_n have_v only_o sin_v and_o not_o adam_n it_o may_v have_v be_v say_v we_o be_v conceive_v in_o sin_n but_o not_o perhaps_o that_o we_o be_v beget_v in_o sin_n or_o if_o adam_n have_v ●ly_o sin_v and_o not_o eve_n it_o may_v have_v be_v say_v we_o be_v beget_v in_o sin_n but_o not_o perhaps_o that_o we_o be_v conceive_v in_o sin_n but_o now_o that_o adam_n &_o eve_n have_v both_o of_o they_o sin_v it_o be_v just_o say_v i_o be_v beget_v in_o iniquity_n and_o in_o sin_n ●ath_v my_o mother_n conceive_v i_o and_o so_o we_o be_v all_o of_o we_o sinner_n now_o of_o the_o whole_a blood_n both_o by_o father_n and_o mother_n and_o no_o inheritance_n so_o sure_a to_o we_o from_o they_o as_o this_o of_o sin_n and_o in_o this_o inheritance_n we_o be_v all_o great_a husband_n whatsoever_o become_v of_o naboths_n vineyard_n we_o common_o make_v sure_a work_n to_o improve_v this_o and_o we_o seldom_o leave_v till_o we_o can_v leave_v more_o of_o it_o to_o our_o child_n than_o we_o receive_v from_o our_o parent_n and_o see_v no_o disease_n be_v so_o incurable_a as_o those_o which_o come_v extraduce_v from_o either_o of_o our_o parent_n how_o incurable_a must_v sin_v needs_o be_v which_o be_v extraduce_v from_o they_o both_o if_o i_o be_v only_o bear_v in_o sin_n then_o all_o the_o time_n i_o live_v in_o the_o little_a world_n of_o my_o mother_n womb_n i_o must_v have_v be_v without_o sin_n and_o so_o may_v hope_v thou_o will_v at_o least_o have_v some_o respect_n to_o that_o time_n of_o innocency_n i_o live_v there_o but_o now_o that_o not_o only_o i_o be_v bear_v in_o sin_n but_o my_o mother_n also_o conceive_v i_o in_o sin_n now_o i_o be_v a_o sinner_n assoon_o as_o a_o creature_n and_o not_o one_o minute_n time_n of_o innocence_n to_o plead_v for_o myself_o and_o now_o alas_o o_o lord_n what_o can_v thou_o ever_o look_v for_o at_o my_o hand_n but_o only_a sin_n the_o leopard_n can_v change_v her_o spot_n no_o more_o can_v i_o that_o be_o conceive_v in_o sin_n conceive_v any_o thing_n but_o only_a sin_n it_o be_v natural_a to_o i_o and_o nature_n will_v have_v her_o course_n but_o though_o it_o be_v natural_a to_o i_o to_o sin_n yet_o it_o be_v not_o natural_a to_o i_o to_o sin_n so_o grievous_o as_o i_o have_v do_v for_o then_o every_o one_o shall_v be_v as_o great_a a_o sinner_n as_o myself_o but_o now_o that_o i_o must_v say_v with_o saint_n paul_n of_o all_o great_a sinner_n i_o be_o the_o great_a this_o be_v a_o estate_n of_o sin_n which_o i_o have_v not_o by_o inheritance_n but_o by_o purchase_n and_o i_o can_v blame_v nature_n but_o myself_o for_o this_o all_o the_o help_n be_v that_o though_o i_o may_v be_v ashamed_a to_o do_v it_o yet_o i_o be_o not_o ashamed_a to_o confess_v it_o and_o be_v not_o a_o sincere_a confess_v in_o the_o balance_n of_o thy_o mercv_z o_o god_n of_o even_a weight_n with_o the_o not_o do_v and_o therefore_o although_o the_o sin_n i_o confess_v be_v great_a and_o be_v great_a must_v needs_o be_v great_o displease_v to_o thou_o yet_o this_o

there_o be_v a_o truth_n in_o deed_n when_o it_o be_v without_o lie_v as_o christ_n say_v of_o nathaniel_n behold_v a_o true_a reach_v in_o who_o there_o be_v ●o_o guile_n but_o neither_o do_v this_o
