that_o the_o day_n be_v not_o sufficient_a to_o accomplish_v it_o i_o say_v when_o i_o see_v the_o lord_n speak_v that_o delatory_a word_n i_o can_v express_v what_o a_o load_n it_o take_v off_o my_o

this_o work_n for_o the_o lord_n according_a to_o the_o poor_a measure_n of_o grace_n receive_v and_o not_o for_o base_a end_n i_o have_v be_v true_a and_o faithful_a unto_o their_o soul_n and_o in_o

when_o i_o first_o pray_v to_o god_n i_o do_v not_o fear_v god_n but_o i_o fear_v perdition_n because_o the_o english_a have_v tell_v i_o that_o all_o shall_v be_v damn_v that_o call_v not_o upon_o god_n but_o now_o i_o know_v that_o god_n make_v all_o the_o world_n and_o i_o fear_v he_o now_o i_o believe_v that_o which_o you_o teach_v be_v true_a now_o i_o believe_v that_o god_n call_v we_o to_o natik_a that_o here_o we_o may_v be_v rule_v by_o god_n and_o gather_v a_o church_n now_o i_o believe_v that_o it_o be_v god_n command_n that_o we_o shall_v labour_v six_o day_n and_o keep_v the_o sabbath_n on_o the_o seven_o day_n now_o my_o heart_n be_v great_o abase_v for_o all_o my_o sin_n for_o we_o see_v though_o we_o pray_v to_o god_n we_o be_v ready_a to_o offend_v each_o other_o and_o be_v angry_a with_o each_o other_o and_o that_o we_o love_v not_o each_o other_o as_o we_o shall_v do_v and_o for_o this_o i_o grieve_v and_o my_o heart_n cry_v now_o i_o remember_v that_o god_n say_v thou_o shall_v not_o lust_n but_o before_o i_o pray_v to_o god_n i_o be_v full_a of_o lust_n god_n say_v we_o must_v have_v but_o one_o wife_n and_o at_o first_o do_v make_v but_o one_o man_n and_o one_o woman_n but_o i_o follow_v many_o woman_n god_n say_v remember_v to_o keep_v the_o sabbath_n day_n holy_a but_o i_o do_v hunt_v or_o shoot_v or_o any_o thing_n on_o the_o sabbath_n day_n many_o other_o sin_n i_o commit_v but_o now_o i_o see_v they_o and_o will_v cast_v they_o away_o because_o they_o be_v vile_a and_o god_n forbid_v they_o when_o i_o pray_v first_o my_o sin_n be_v not_o pardon_v for_o my_o pray_v be_v worth_a nothing_o now_o i_o be_o humble_v and_o mourn_v for_o my_o sin_n and_o yet_o can_v deliver_v myself_o nor_o get_v pardon_n therefore_o i_o trust_v christ_n with_o my_o soul_n the_o next_o confession_n be_v make_v by_o john_n speene_n as_o follow_v his_o first_o confession_n be_v this_o when_o i_o first_o pray_v to_o god_n i_o do_v not_o pray_v for_o my_o soul_n but_o only_o i_o do_v as_o my_o friend_n do_v because_o i_o love_v they_o and_o though_o i_o pray_v to_o god_n yet_o i_o do_v not_o fear_v sin_n nor_o be_v i_o trouble_v at_o it_o i_o hear_v that_o when_o good_a man_n die_v their_o soul_n go_v to_o god_n and_o be_v there_o happy_a but_o i_o can_v say_v that_o i_o believe_v it_o afterward_o my_o heart_n run_v away_o into_o the_o country_n after_o our_o old_a way_n and_o i_o do_v almost_o cast_v off_o pray_v to_o god_n a_o little_a while_n after_o that_o i_o see_v that_o i_o have_v great_o sin_v and_o then_o i_o see_v all_o my_o sin_n afore_o i_o pray_v to_o god_n and_o since_o i_o pray_v to_o god_n and_o i_o see_v that_o god_n be_v great_o angry_a for_o they_o and_o that_o i_o can_v get_v pardon_n for_o they_o but_o yet_o my_o heart_n say_v i_o will_v pray_v to_o god_n as_o long_o as_o i_o live_v i_o think_v god_n will_v not_o pardon_v i_o and_o yet_o i_o will_v cast_v away_o my_o sin_n i_o do_v great_o love_v hunt_v and_o hate_a labour_n but_o now_o i_o believe_v that_o word_n of_o god_n which_o say_v six_o day_n thou_o shall_v labour_v and_o god_n do_v make_v my_o body_n strong_a to_o labour_v john_n speene_n this_o confession_n be_v short_a in_o some_o main_a point_n he_o afterward_o make_v confession_n as_o follow_v when_o i_o first_o pray_v i_o pray_v not_o for_o my_o soul_n but_o for_o the_o sake_n of_o man_n i_o love_v man_n and_o for_o their_o sake_n i_o pray_v to_o god_n before_o i_o pray_v many_o be_v my_o sin_n and_o my_o heart_n be_v heap_v full_a and_o run_v over_o in_o all_o manner_n of_o lust_n and_o sin_n after_o i_o hear_v of_o pray_v to_o god_n i_o let_v it_o fall_v and_o regard_v it_o not_o after_o i_o come_v to_o hear_v the_o word_n i_o sometime_o fear_v but_o soon_o lose_v it_o again_o then_o my_o heart_n run_v away_o after_o our_o former_a course_n and_o than_o what_o ever_o i_o hear_v i_o lose_v because_o my_o heart_n be_v run_v away_o and_o many_o be_v my_o sin_n and_o therefore_o i_o can_v not_o get_v pardon_n because_o my_o heart_n run_v away_o and_o many_o be_v my_o sin_n and_o i_o do_v indeed_o go_v into_o the_o country_n but_o afterwards_o i_o hear_v the_o catechism_n i_o desire_v to_o learn_v it_o and_o then_o i_o believe_v that_o when_o believer_n die_v their_o soul_n go_v to_o god_n and_o be_v ever_o happy_a when_o sinner_n die_v their_o soul_n go_v to_o hell_n and_o be_v ever_o torment_v and_o that_o when_o christ_n judge_v the_o world_n our_o body_n rise_v again_o and_o then_o we_o shall_v receive_v the_o judgement_n of_o christ_n the_o good_a shall_v stand_v at_o his_o right_a hand_n the_o bad_a at_o his_o left_a this_o i_o believe_v be_v true_a and_o then_o i_o see_v all_o my_o great_a folly_n and_o evil_n and_o now_o my_o heart_n desire_v to_o lay_v by_o hunt_v and_o to_o work_v every_o day_n and_o this_o be_v god_n command_n and_o therefore_o a_o good_a way_n god_n say_v thou_o shall_v work_v six_o day_n and_o if_o thou_o work_v thou_o shall_v eat_v therefore_o i_o believe_v it_o and_o my_o heart_n promise_v that_o i_o will_v this_o do_v as_o long_o as_o i_o live_v now_o i_o see_v i_o do_v great_a folly_n for_o now_o i_o hear_v that_o god_n say_v work_n and_o now_o i_o fear_v because_o god_n have_v afflict_v i_o in_o take_v away_o my_o brother_n a_o ruler_n now_o i_o be_o trouble_v i_o fear_v i_o sin_v in_o not_o believe_v our_o ruler_n because_o now_o god_n have_v take_v he_o away_o he_o teach_v i_o good_a word_n but_o i_o believe_v they_o not_o and_o now_o i_o repent_v because_o christ_n call_v i_o to_o it_o great_a be_v the_o punishment_n of_o god_n in_o take_v away_o our_o ruler_n and_o now_o i_o pray_v and_o say_v to_o christ_n oh_o jesus_n christ_n christ_n
the_o command_n of_o god_n i_o have_v be_v full_a of_o lust_n and_o theft_n etc._n etc._n all_o my_o life_n and_o all_o the_o time_n i_o have_v live_v i_o have_v do_v contrary_a to_o the_o command_n

that_o god_n be_v very_o angry_a with_o i_o then_o god_n break_v my_o head_n and_o by_o that_o i_o see_v god_n anger_n and_o then_o i_o think_v that_o the_o true_a god_n in_o heaven_n be_v angry_a with_o i_o for_o my_o sin_n even_o for_o all_o my_o sin_n which_o every_o day_n i_o live_v i_o do_v when_o i_o be_v almost_o dead_a some_o body_n bid_v i_o now_o believe_v because_o it_o may_v be_v

for_o my_o sin_n be_v great_a in_o thought_n word_n and_o deed_n and_o no_o man_n can_v cast_v off_o his_o own_o sin_n but_o that_o be_v the_o work_n of_o christ_n only_o to_o work_v it_o in_o we_o

when_o i_o first_o hear_v instruction_n i_o believe_v not_o but_o laugh_v at_o it_o and_o scorn_v pray_v to_o god_n afterward_o when_o we_o be_v teach_v at_o cohannet_n that_o be_v the_o place_n

james_n 1._o 5._o then_o again_o a_o little_a my_o heart_n be_v turn_v after_o god_n the_o word_n also_o say_v repent_v mourn_v and_o believe_v in_o jesus_n christ_n this_o also_o help_v i_o on_o

then_o i_o think_v myself_o a_o fool_n because_o i_o believe_v not_o christ_n but_o sin_v every_o day_n and_o after_o i_o hear_v the_o word_n i_o great_o break_v the_o word_n but_o afterward_o i_o

think_v i_o be_o a_o poor_a sinner_n and_o poor_a be_v my_o heart_n then_o i_o pray_v to_o god_n to_o teach_v i_o to_o do_v that_o which_o he_o require_v and_o to_o pray_v aright_o afterward_o hear_v that_o word_n who_o ever_o look_v upon_o a_o woman_n to_o lust_n after_o she_o have_v already_o commit_v adultery_n with_o she_o in_o his_o heart_n then_o i_o think_v i_o have_v do_v all_o manner_n

then_o i_o be_v trouble_v for_o all_o my_o sin_n again_o hear_v that_o word_n that_o the_o blind_a man_n call_v after_o christ_n say_v thou_o son_n of_o david_n have_v mercy_n on_o i_o christ_n ask_v

i_o think_v i_o still_o believe_v not_o because_o i_o do_v not_o follow_v christ_n nor_o have_v he_o yet_o open_v my_o eye_n then_o i_o pray_v to_o christ_n to_o open_v my_o eye_n that_o i_o may_v

to_o be_v bring_v to_o be_v willing_a to_o make_v a_o church_n and_o quick_o after_o god_n lay_v upon_o i_o more_o trouble_n by_o sickness_n and_o death_n and_o then_o i_o much_o pray_v to_o god_n

that_o believe_v in_o christ_n be_v pardon_v but_o my_o heart_n of_o myself_o can_v believe_v satan_n have_v power_n in_o i_o but_o i_o cry_v to_o god_n oh_a give_v i_o faith_n and_o pardon_v my_o

then_o i_o consider_v whether_o i_o shall_v pray_v but_o i_o find_v not_o in_o my_o heart_n that_o all_o shall_v pray_v but_o than_o i_o consider_v of_o pray_v and_o what_o will_v become_v of_o i_o

because_o satan_n work_v daily_o in_o my_o heart_n and_o oppose_v repentance_n and_o all_o good_a work_n day_n and_o night_n my_o heart_n be_v full_a of_o sin_n i_o believe_v that_o jesus_n christ_n

and_o when_o christ_n come_v to_o preach_v he_o say_v repent_v because_o the_o kingdom_n of_o heaven_n be_v at_o hand_n again_o christ_n teach_v except_o you_o repent_v and_o become_v as_o a_o little_a child_n you_o shall_v not_o enter_v into_o the_o kingdom_n of_o heaven_n therefore_o humble_a yourselves_o like_o one_o of_o these_o little_a child_n and_o great_a shall_v be_v your_o

i_o know_v christ_n he_o be_v good_a but_o my_o work_n be_v evil_a christ_n his_o word_n be_v good_a but_o i_o be_o not_o humble_a but_o if_o we_o be_v humble_a and_o believe_a in_o christ_n he_o pardon_v all_o our_o sin_n i_o now_o desire_v to_o believe_v in_o jesus_n christ_n because_o of_o the_o word_n of_o christ_n that_o i_o may_v be_v convert_v and_o become_v as_o a_o little_a child_n i_o confess_v my_o sin_n before_o god_n and_o before_o jesus_n christ_n this_o day_n now_o i_o desire_v all_o my_o sin_n may_v be_v pardon_v i_o now_o desire_v repentance_n in_o my_o heart_n and_o ever_o to_o believe_v in_o christ_n now_o i_o lift_v up_o my_o heart_n to_o christ_n and_o trust_v he_o with_o it_o because_o i_o believe_v christ_n die_v for_o we_o for_o all_o our_o sin_n and_o deserve_v for_o we_o eternal_a life_n in_o heaven_n and_o deserve_a pardon_n for_o all_o our_o sin_n and_o now_o i_o give_v my_o soul_n to_o christ_n because_o he_o have_v redeem_v i_o do_v great_o love_v and_o like_o repentance_n in_o my_o heart_n and_o i_o love_v to_o believe_v in_o jesus_n christ_n and_o my_o heart_n be_v break_v by_o repentance_n all_o these_o thing_n i_o do_v like_o well_o of_o that_o they_o may_v be_v in_o my_o heart_n but_o because_o christ_n have_v all_o these_o to_o give_v i_o ask_v they_o of_o he_o that_o he_o may_v give_v i_o repentance_n and_o faith_n in_o christ_n and_o therefore_o i_o pray_v and_o beseech_v christ_n daily_o for_o repentance_n and_o faith_n and_o other_o good_a way_n i_o beg_v of_o christ_n daily_o to_o give_v i_o and_o i_o pray_v to_o christ_n for_o all_o these_o gift_n and_o grace_n to_o put_v they_o in_o my_o heart_n and_o now_o i_o great_o thank_v christ_n for_o all_o these_o good_a gift_n which_o he_o have_v give_v i_o i_o know_v not_o any_o thing_n nor_o can_v do_v any_o thing_n that_o be_v a_o good_a work_n even_o my_o heart_n be_v dark_a daily_a in_o what_o i_o shall_v do_v and_o my_o soul_n die_v because_o of_o my_o sin_n and_o therefore_o i_o give_v my_o soul_n to_o christ_n because_o i_o know_v my_o soul_n be_v dead_a in_o sin_n and_o daily_o do_v commit_v sin_n in_o my_o heart_n i_o sin_n and_o all_o the_o member_n of_o my_o body_n be_v sinful_a i_o believe_v jesus_n christ_n be_v ascend_v to_o heaven_n through_o the_o cloud_n and_o he_o will_v come_v again_o from_o heaven_n many_o see_v christ_n go_v up_o to_o heaven_n and_o the_o angel_n say_v even_o so_o he_o will_v come_v again_o to_o judge_n all_o the_o world_n and_o therefore_o i_o believe_v god_n promise_n that_o all_o man_n shall_v rise_v again_o when_o christ_n come_v again_o than_o all_o shall_v rise_v and_o all_o their_o soul_n come_v again_o because_o christ_n be_v trust_v with_o they_o and_o keep_v their_o soul_n therefore_o i_o desire_v my_o sin_n may_v be_v pardon_v and_o i_o believe_v in_o christ_n and_o ever_o so_o long_o as_o i_o live_v i_o will_v pray_v to_o god_n and_o do_v all_o the_o good_a way_n he_o command_v monequassun_fw-it the_o confession_n which_o he_o make_v on_o the_o fast_n day_n before_o the_o great_a assembly_n be_v as_o follow_v i_o confess_v my_o sin_n before_o the_o lord_n and_o before_o man_n this_o day_n a_o little_a while_n since_o i_o do_v commit_v many_o sin_n both_o in_o my_o hand_n and_o heart_n lust_n theft_n and_o many_o other_o sin_n and_o that_o every_o day_n and_o after_o i_o hear_v of_o pray_v to_o god_n and_o that_o other_o pray_v to_o god_n my_o heart_n do_v not_o like_o it_o but_o hate_v it_o yea_o and_o mock_v at_o it_o and_o after_o they_o pray_v at_o cohannet_n i_o still_o hate_v it_o and_o when_o i_o hear_v the_o word_n i_o do_v not_o like_o of_o it_o but_o think_v of_o run_v away_o because_o i_o love_v sin_n but_o i_o love_v the_o place_n of_o my_o dwell_n and_o therefore_o i_o think_v i_o will_v rather_o pray_v to_o god_n and_o begin_v to_o do_v it_o a_o little_a i_o desire_v to_o learn_v the_o ten_o commandment_n of_o god_n and_o other_o point_n of_o catechism_n and_o than_o a_o little_a i_o repent_v but_o i_o be_v quick_o weary_a of_o repentance_n and_o fall_v again_o to_o sin_n and_o full_a of_o evil_a thought_n be_v my_o heart_n and_o then_o i_o play_v the_o hypocrite_n and_o my_o heart_n be_v full_a of_o sin_n i_o learn_v some_o thing_n but_o do_v not_o do_v what_o god_n command_v but_o i_o sin_v and_o play_v the_o hypocrite_n some_o thing_n i_o do_v before_o man_n but_o not_o before_o god_n but_o afterward_o i_o fear_v because_o of_o my_o sin_n and_o fear_v punishment_n for_o my_o sin_n therefore_o i_o think_v again_o i_o will_v run_v away_o yet_o again_o i_o love_v the_o place_n will_v not_o run_v away_o but_o will_v pray_v to_o god_n and_o i_o ask_v a_o question_n at_o the_o lecture_n which_o be_v this_o how_o i_o shall_v get_v wisdom_n the_o answer_n make_v i_o a_o little_a to_o understand_v but_o afterward_o i_o hear_v the_o word_n if_o any_o man_n lack_v wisdom_n let_v he_o ask_v it_o of_o god_n who_o give_v liberal_o to_o all_o that_o ask_v and_o upbraid_v none_o but_o than_o i_o do_v fear_n god_n anger_n because_o of_o all_o my_o sin_n because_o they_o be_v great_a afterward_o hear_v that_o word_n that_o christ_n be_v name_v jesus_n because_o he_o redeem_v we_o from_o all_o our_o sin_n i_o think_v christ_n will_v not_o save_v i_o because_o i_o repent_v not_o for_o he_o save_v only_o penitent_a believer_n but_o i_o be_o not_o such_o a_o one_o but_o still_o a_o daily_a sinner_n afterward_o hear_v that_o word_n bless_a be_v they_o that_o hunger_n and_o thirst_n after_o righteousness_n for_o they_o shall_v be_v fill_v then_o i_o
