when_o we_o have_v get_v ourselves_o in_o private_a then_o be_v the_o time_n to_o ransack_v our_o heart_n to_o throw_v off_o all_o that_o lumber_n that_o have_v clog_v our_o religion_n and_o give_v our_o virtue_n room_n to_o grow_v this_o be_v the_o only_a place_n to_o rally_v the_o scatter_a force_n of_o our_o soul_n to_o view_v all_o our_o strength_n and_o see_v what_o supply_n be_v to_o be_v raise_v out_o of_o our_o own_o spirit_n and_o what_o recruit_n be_v to_o be_v beg_v from_o the_o holy_a spirit_n of_o god_n it_o be_v a_o shameful_a thing_n to_o think_v how_o long_o some_o man_n can_v live_v and_o yet_o never_o know_v themselves_o how_o they_o can_v be_v so_o earnest_a in_o pry_v round_o about_o they_o that_o they_o have_v no_o leisure_n to_o look_v near_a home_n so_o inquisitive_a after_o other_o man_n affair_n and_o so_o much_o stranger_n to_o their_o own_o but_o the_o truth_n be_v they_o suspect_v the_o poverty_n of_o their_o stock_n and_o therefore_o be_v loath_a to_o look_v how_o near_o it_o be_v to_o the_o bottom_n to_o find_v out_o their_o own_o fault_n they_o think_v be_v all_o irksome_a ungrateful_a pain_n and_o to_o search_v for_o their_o own_o virtue_n perhaps_o be_v not_o worth_a the_o while_n and_o hence_o it_o be_v that_o they_o dare_v not_o reflect_v upon_o their_o own_o action_n nor_o so_o much_o as_o venture_v themselves_o alone_o for_o fear_v their_o sin_n shall_v stare_v they_o in_o the_o face_n and_o for_o that_o little_a knowledge_n which_o they_o have_v of_o themselves_o they_o be_v common_o behold_v to_o the_o standter_n by_o but_o whatever_o our_o condition_n be_v it_o be_v good_a to_o be_v acquaint_v with_o it_o in_o time_n that_o we_o may_v be_v able_a to_o supply_v what_o be_v want_v and_o reform_v what_o we_o find_v amiss_o and_o to_o examine_v the_o state_n of_o our_o account_n before_o we_o come_v to_o give_v they_o up_o to_o a_o impartial_a judge_n if_o therefore_o we_o will_v know_v ourselves_o and_o have_v a_o exact_a survey_n of_o our_o own_o estate_n we_o must_v withdraw_v from_o the_o multitude_n and_o stand_v alone_o retire_v into_o our_o closet_n and_o there_o we_o may_v learn_v to_o know_v not_o ourselves_o only_o but_o our_o god_n there_o we_o have_v a_o easy_a access_n to_o heaven_n and_o whilst_o we_o commune_v with_o our_o own_o heart_n and_o in_o our_o chamber_n and_o be_v still_o god_n himself_o be_v please_v to_o enter_v into_o the_o conference_n with_o we_o to_o assist_v our_o contemplation_n remove_v our_o doubt_n and_o encourage_v our_o endeavour_n and_o when_o we_o and_o our_o own_o heart_n be_v meet_v together_o again_o in_o his_o name_n he_o will_v not_o fail_v to_o be_v in_o the_o midst_n of_o we_o for_o such_o conversation_n as_o this_o who_o will_v not_o set_v aside_o all_z the_o pomp_n and_o vanity_n of_o the_o world_n and_o think_v it_o his_o great_a freedom_n to_o be_v so_o confine_v his_o great_a happiness_n to_o be_v banish_v into_o paradise_n here_o we_o can_v choose_v but_o look_v down_o with_o scorn_n upon_o our_o former_a sinful_a delight_n and_o with_o pity_n upon_o those_o who_o know_v no_o better_a recreation_n when_o our_o retirement_n have_v wean_a we_o from_o that_o fondness_n which_o we_o have_v for_o the_o common_a road_n of_o practice_n and_o our_o closet_n show_v we_o all_o the_o action_n of_o man_n in_o their_o own_o proper_a colour_n our_o very_a inclination_n will_v be_v alter_v and_o we_o ourselves_o shall_v wonder_v what_o pleasure_n we_o can_v ever_o have_v in_o those_o thing_n whereof_o upon_o second_o upon_o cool_a thought_n we_o be_v now_o ashamed_a when_o we_o have_v thus_o prepare_v and_o qualify_v ourselves_o in_o private_a than_o we_o may_v expect_v that_o our_o public_a devotion_n shall_v be_v effectual_a but_o to_o come_v into_o the_o house_n of_o god_n with_o all_o our_o vain_a imagination_n and_o worldly_a thought_n about_o we_o be_v invade_v of_o his_o presence_n and_o affront_a of_o his_o court_n
