well_o be_v consistent_a with_o close_v with_o a_o promise_n by_o faith_n for_o the_o take_v away_o of_o guilt_n observe_v therefore_o that_o the_o freeness_n of_o grace_n and_o the_o fullness_n of_o a_o promise_n ought_v no_o way_n to_o take_v off_o a_o saint_n watchfulness_n over_o sin_n and_o the_o mourning_n for_o sin_n further_o consider_v although_o god_n pardon_v the_o sin_n yet_o he_o

for_o pardon_n of_o a_o sin_n when_o he_o have_v not_o in_o prayer_n against_o that_o sin_n feel_v himself_o raise_v or_o his_o heart_n melt_v as_o for_o example_n after_o thou_o have_v sin_v

it_o be_v a_o difficult_a case_n but_o yet_o the_o soul_n may_v be_v exceed_o deceive_v in_o it_o therefore_o it_o be_v good_a for_o such_o a_o soul_n to_o mark_v this_o that_o notwithstanding_o his_o

application_n of_o thy_o soul_n to_o god_n the_o reason_n be_v clear_a because_o act_n of_o faith_n do_v always_o accompany_v true_a faith_n the_o instance_n of_o this_o be_v plain_a in_o hannah_n
