to_o which_o external_n misery_n be_v the_o great_a motive_n there_o be_v nothing_o more_o proper_a than_o a_o just_a understanding_n of_o the_o state_n of_o the_o damn_a and_o the_o misery_n of_o

yet_o we_o shall_v not_o find_v it_o so_o easy_a to_o believe_v that_o god_n will_v forgive_v the_o great_a sin_n as_o the_o small_a and_o so_o the_o devil_n have_v the_o great_a advantage_n from_o

the_o direct_a or_o reflex_n light_a of_o conscience_n do_v often_o cause_v a_o very_a great_a darkness_n which_o be_v feel_v in_o the_o soul_n for_o though_o in_o the_o heat_n and_o madness_n of_o

you_o know_v that_o christ_n have_v tell_v we_o that_o all_o sin_n and_o blasphemy_n shall_v be_v forgive_v only_o the_o sin_n against_o the_o holy_a ghost_n shall_v never_o be_v forgive_v and_o the_o

thus_o tempt_v usual_a ignorance_n what_o the_o sin_n against_o the_o holy_a ghost_n be_v as_o to_o which_o indeed_o the_o most_o judicious_a divine_n have_v be_v much_o at_o lo●s_n to_o determine_v
