best_a course_n to_o be_v take_v &_o what_o in_o sound_a wisdom_n be_v to_o be_v do_v both_o to_o prevent_v future_a danger_n and_o to_o continue_v god_n favour_n and_o mercy_n still_o upon_o us._n

to_o seek_v the_o lord_n while_o he_o may_v be_v find_v and_o to_o call_v upon_o he_o while_o he_o be_v near_o to_o forsake_v our_o own_o way_n and_o our_o own_o imagination_n and_o to_o turn_v unto_o he_o with_o all_o our_o heart_n with_o weep_v with_o fast_v and_o with_o mourning_n as_o the_o prophet_n joel_n advise_v for_o 2._o our_o god_n be_v gracious_a and_o merciful_a slow_a to_o anger_n and_o of_o great_a kindness_n and_o repent_v he_o of_o the_o evil_n all_o the_o prophet_n do_v counsel_n we_o to_o follow_v this_o course_n and_o do_v plain_o teach_v that_o if_o we_o all_o from_o

the_o widow_n and_o shed_v no_o innocent_a blood_n in_o this_o place_n neither_o walk_n after_o other_o god_n to_o your_o destruction_n then_o will_v i_o let_v you_o dwell_v in_o this_o place_n even_o

four_o thing_n to_o do_v just_o to_o love_v mercy_n 8._o to_o humble_v ourselves_o and_o to_o walk_v with_o our_o god_n the_o prophet_n amos_n give_v the_o same_o 14._o counsel_n say_v seek_v the_o

and_o walk_v in_o his_o way_n than_o he_o will_v grant_v we_o any_o favour_n that_o we_o will_v require_v at_o his_o hand_n for_o even_o as_o woolpack_n and_o other_o sost_o matter_n beat_v back_o

moreover_o we_o may_v observe_v in_o all_o experience_n that_o when_o potentate_n be_v offend_v or_o any_o great_a man_n have_v conceive_v a_o displeasure_n against_o a_o poor_a man_n that_o then_o he_o must_v run_v and_o ride_v send_v present_n use_v his_o friend_n break_v his_o sleep_n and_o never_o be_v quiet_a till_o he_o have_v pacify_v he_o even_o so_o must_v we_o deal_v with_o our_o god_n see_v he_o have_v take_v a_o displeasure_n against_o us._n oh_o therefore_o that_o we_o will_v speedy_o use_v all_o possible_a mean_n to_o pacify_v his_o wrath_n oh_o that_o we_o will_v with_o one_o

have_v do_v and_o purpose_n never_o to_o do_v the_o like_a again_o oh_o that_o it_o may_v go_v to_o the_o heart_n of_o we_o that_o we_o have_v so_o often_o &_o so_o grievous_o offend_v so_o love_v a_o god_n and_o so_o merciful_a a_o father_n oh_o that_o we_o will_v awakeonce_v at_o last_o &_o rouse_v up_o our_o drowsy_a heart_n &_o ransack_v our_o sleepy_a conscience_n cry_v out_o against_o our_o

never_o be_v adjudge_v accuse_v indict_v or_o condemn_v of_o the_o lord_n oh_o that_o all_o heart_n may_v sob_v all_o soul_n may_v sigh_v all_o loin_n may_v be_v smite_v with_o sorrow_n all_o face_n gather_v blackness_n and_o every_o man_n smite_v himself_o one_o the_o thigh_n say_v what_o have_v i_o do_v oh_o that_o both_o magistracy_n ministry_n and_o commonalty_n will_v purpose_n and_o vow_n and_o even_o take_v a_o bond_n of_o themselves_o that_o from_o hence_o forth_o and_o from_o this_o day_n forward_o they_o will_v set_v their_o heart_n to_o seek_v the_o lord_n and_o that_o they_o will_v whole_o give_v up_o themselves_o to_o his_o obedience_n oh_o that_o all_o man_n woman_n and_o child_n will_v fear_v god_n &_o keep_v his_o commandment_n will_v eschew_v evil_a and_o do_v good_a will_v study_v to_o please_v god_n in_o allthing_n and_o to_o be_v fruitful_a in_o all_o good_a work_n make_v conscience_n to_o perform_v the_o duty_n of_o their_o general_a calling_n and_o duty_n of_o their_o special_a calling_n duty_n of_o the_o first_o table_n and_o duty_n of_o the_o second_o table_n that_o so_o god_n may_v be_v sincere_o worship_v his_o name_n true_o reverence_v his_o

you_o will_v sin_v that_o grace_n may_v abound_v you_o will_v sin_v frank_o and_o set_v all_o upon_o christ_n score_n true_o there_o be_v many_o thousand_o of_o your_o mind_n which_o hear_v of_o god_n

the_o apostle_n say_v the_o mercy_n and_o love_a 2._o kindness_n of_o god_n shall_v lead_v we_o to_o repentance_n but_o we_o see_v it_o lead_v many_o to_o further_a hardness_n of_o heart_n the_o
