that_o as_o i_o find_v myself_o less_o cheerful_a and_o constant_a in_o thy_o service_n so_o on_o the_o other_o side_n i_o sometime_o find_v myself_o less_o able_a to_o resist_v temptation_n more_o

of_o thy_o sabbath_n how_o unconscionable_a and_o negligent_a in_o my_o call_n how_o rebellious_a and_o inordinate_a in_o my_o affection_n o_o how_o often_o have_v i_o greeve_v thy_o holy_a spirit_n by_o neglect_v the_o good_a motion_n thereof_o yea_o many_o time_n willing_o cross_v the_o same_o and_o entertain_v contrary_a suggestion_n of_o my_o cruel_a enemy_n how_o careless_a have_v i_o be_v to_o examaine_v my_o heart_n and_o renew_v my_o covenant_n with_o thou_o how_o deceitful_a or_o careless_a in_o break_v often_o my_o vow_n which_o i_o have_v make_v unto_o thou_o against_o special_a

neglect_v the_o save_a mean_n of_o deep_a humiliation_n to_o awaken_v i_o to_o repentance_n alas_o lord_n thou_o know_v full_a well_o that_o though_o thou_o have_v follow_v i_o with_o many_o secret_a

that_o such_o as_o i_o have_v sow_o i_o have_v often_o reap_v even_o more_o hardness_n of_o heart_n less_o sense_n and_o remorse_n for_o sin_n more_o boldness_n thereto_o and_o more_o ease_n therein_o less_o delight_n in_o holy_a duty_n less_o life_n in_o prayer_n less_o conscience_n in_o the_o word_n more_o slight_n in_o my_o call_n more_o distraction_n in_o my_o reckon_n and_o more_o confusion_n in_o my_o spirit_n yet_o still_o o_o lord_n i_o hear_v a_o voice_n behind_o i_o say_v this_o be_v the_o way_n walk_v in_o it_o yet_o still_o i_o find_v thy_o hand_n over_o i_o to_o stay_v i_o from_o

still_o thy_o spirit_n be_v ready_a to_o revive_v i_o with_o hope_n that_o i_o may_v recover_v again_o and_o my_o hope_n be_v confirm_v hereby_o that_o the_o mean_n be_v still_o offer_v i_o and_o i_o

of_o corruption_n must_v not_o be_v dispel_v utter_o at_o once_o but_o daily_o be_v banish_v more_o and_o more_o unto_o the_o come_n of_o christ_n therefore_o be_v it_o bless_a lord_n that_o though_o
