to_o find_v and_o see_v assure_o that_o as_o that_o same_o light_n which_o shine_v in_o all_o your_o conscience_n be_v of_o such_o a_o powerful_a and_o virtuous_a nature_n as_o that_o it_o not_o only_o search_v your_o heart_n and_o tri_v your_o reins_o and_o find_v out_o your_o most_o secret_a sin_n but_o also_o convince_v you_o as_o well_o of_o the_o least_o as_o of_o the_o great_a of_o

and_o virtue_n to_o free_a and_o deliver_v your_o soul_n from_o your_o least_o and_o from_o your_o great_a sin_n must_v also_o of_o necessity_n in_o the_o same_o love_n deliver_v you_o from_o all_o your_o sin_n the_o which_o all_o must_v confess_v except_v some_o in_o atheism_n may_v say_v that_o the_o perfect_a grace_n and_o light_n of_o the_o alsufficient_a god_n be_v a_o insufficient_a medicine_n to_o heal_v the_o soul_n perfect_o of_o all_o its_o malady_n and_o infirmity_n but_o i_o be_o better_a persuade_v of_o all_o you_o that_o desire_v the_o true_a knowledge_n of_o the_o true_a and_o live_a god_n have_v a_o sensible_a understanding_n in_o you_o that_o there_o be_v such_o a_o light_n shine_v into_o your_o soul_n that_o show_v you_o all_o your_o sin_n the_o which_o you_o may_v remember_v you_o have_v have_v from_o your_o childhood_n because_o you_o can_v otherwise_o say_v but_o that_o from_o your_o childhood_n it_o accuse_v you_o of_o all_o your_o sin_n in_o the_o secret_n of_o your_o conscience_n which_o no_o one_o else_o can_v accuse_v you_o of_o but_o yet_o you_o be_v not_o then_o direct_v unto_o it_o as_o you_o be_v now_o counsel_v and_o therefore_o can_v not_o know_v the_o power_n and_o virtue_n because_o you_o never_o prove_v its_o force_n strength_n and_o virtue_n through_o a_o perfect_a love_n yield_a in_o obedience_n unto_o its_o motion_n and_o often_o check_v of_o your_o mind_n wherefore_o this_o be_v the_o happy_a day_n of_o your_o visitation_n wherein_o it_o be_v tell_v you_o that_o if_o you_o love_v that_o light_n which_o show_v you_o the_o nature_n of_o all_o temptation_n unto_o evil_n and_o join_v unto_o the_o light_n so_o as_o to_o be_v guide_v by_o the_o light_n which_o be_v contrary_a to_o all_o evil_a it_o will_v deliver_v you_o from_o the_o end_n of_o the_o tempter_n which_o present_v the_o temptation_n by_o save_v you_o from_o the_o evil_a which_o light_v you_o will_v then_o know_v in_o the_o invisible_a power_n of_o the_o

and_o therefore_o i_o must_v needs_o conclude_v that_o he_o be_v most_o extreme_o sinful_a and_o desperate_o evil_a that_o say_v he_o desire_v to_o be_v deliver_v from_o all_o sin_n and_o evil_n which_o will_v not_o try_v to_o experience_n such_o a_o power_n and_o virtue_n of_o the_o grace_n of_o god_n give_v into_o his_o soul_n which_o be_v able_a to_o save_v and_o deliver_v he_o from_o
