of_o faith_n in_o this_o point_n for_o if_o it_o be_v full_o believe_v it_o can_v not_o be_v but_o that_o we_o shall_v take_v more_o heed_n to_o our_o way_n and_o thought_n than_o we_o do_v therefore_o to_o convince_v you_o of_o and_o persuade_v you_o to_o this_o i_o will_v name_v two_o place_n one_o you_o shall_v find_v in_o ephe._n 4.6_o one_o god_n one_o lord_n who_o be_v above_o

etc._n etc._n the_o meaning_n of_o it_o be_v this_o david_n labour_v to_o persuade_v his_o own_o heart_n that_o god_n be_v present_a with_o he_o and_o he_o do_v it_o by_o the_o argument_n if_o i_o

it_o must_v needs_o be_v that_o there_o be_v not_o a_o word_n that_o i_o speak_v or_o a_o thought_n that_o i_o think_v but_o he_o see_v and_o hear_v all_o yea_o he_o know_v my_o thought_n afar_o off_o that_o be_v as_o a_o man_n that_o know_v what_o root_n he_o have_v in_o his_o garden_n though_o there_o be_v not_o a_o flower_n appear_v yet_o he_o can_v say_v when_o the_o spring_n come_v this_o and_o this_o will_v come_v up_o because_o he_o know_v the_o garden_n and_o know_v what_o root_n be_v there_o so_o the_o lord_n know_v a_o man_n thought_n afar_o off_o because_o he_o know_v the_o

he_o do_v not_o only_o see_v man_n thought_n afar_o off_o but_o he_o will_v judge_v you_o afar_o off_o for_o they_o we_o use_v to_o destroy_v hemlock_n even_o in_o the_o midst_n of_o winter_n because_o we_o know_v what_o it_o will_v do_v if_o it_o be_v suffer_v to_o grow_v so_o the_o lord_n do_v cut_v off_o man_n long_o before_o because_o he_o know_v that_o they_o will_v do_v this_o and_o this_o such_o passage_n of_o his_o providence_n there_o may_v be_v as_o to_o cut_v off_o child_n and_o young_a man_n out_o of_o the_o foresight_n of_o the_o evil_a that_o they_o will_v do_v to_o his_o church_n because_o he_o know_v their_o thought_n afar_o off_o so_o he_o know_v thy_o thought_n for_o good_a afar_o off_o therefore_o though_o a_o child_n of_o god_n may_v be_v cut_v off_o in_o some_o undiscovered_a sin_n when_o he_o have_v not_o actual_o repent_v yet_o god_n forgive_v it_o he_o because_o he_o know_v what_o he_o will_v do_v if_o he_o have_v time_n to_o repent_v and_o shall_v come_v to_o discover_v it_o and_o therefore_o god_n judge_v he_o according_o and_o likewise_o if_o we_o have_v begin_v any_o good_a work_n if_o we_o be_v cut_v off_o before_o we_o have_v finish_v it_o yet_o remember_v that_o god_n know_v what_o we_o will_v do_v and_o see_v he_o do_v this_o we_o shall_v learn_v exceed_o to_o fear_v before_o he_o to_o ponder_v our_o own_o thought_n and_o speech_n see_v
