say_v not_o i_o will_v pray_v hereafter_o but_o now_o today_o if_o you_o will_v hear_v his_o voice_n harden_v not_o your_o heart_n but_o pray_v to_o god_n and_o that_o make_v my_o heart_n to_o yield_v to_o do_v it_o then_o i_o understand_v gen._n 2._o that_o god_n form_v man_n out_o of_o the_o dust_n of_o the_o earth_n and_o breathe_v into_o he_o a_o live_a soul_n by_o this_o i_o do_v believe_v that_o god_n make_v i_o and_o i_o hear_v that_o god_n cause_v adam_n to_o sleep_v and_o take_v out_o a_o rib_n and_o make_v it_o a_o woman_n and_o by_o this_o i_o believe_v that_o sure_o this_o be_v the_o work_n of_o god_n again_o i_o hear_v that_o we_o be_v bear_v in_o sin_n under_o the_o guilt_n of_o adam_n sin_n and_o by_o that_o i_o believe_v that_o i_o be_v a_o sinner_n again_o i_o hear_v gen._n 6._o that_o all_o the_o thought_n and_o imagination_n of_o the_o heart_n of_o man_n be_v only_o evil_a continual_o and_o that_o god_n do_v threaten_v to_o destroy_v man_n who_o he_o have_v make_v and_o all_o beast_n and_o live_a creature_n which_o he_o have_v make_v and_o by_o this_o i_o see_v that_o sure_o sin_n be_v a_o very_a great_a evil_n again_o i_o hear_v that_o noah_n find_v grace_n and_o he_o only_o be_v upright_o before_o god_n and_o that_o god_n drown_v all_o the_o world_n except_o noah_n and_o his_o son_n and_o their_o wife_n eight_o person_n this_o do_v make_v i_o remember_v my_o sin_n and_o confess_v they_o and_o i_o see_v that_o god_n be_v angry_a with_o sin_n it_o rain_v forty_o day_n and_o so_o drown_v all_o the_o world_n then_o i_o say_v sure_o this_o be_v god_n work_n and_o he_o do_v as_o he_o threaten_v to_o do_v to_o sinner_n and_o the_o same_o may_v god_n do_v to_o i_o who_o be_o a_o sinner_n and_o my_o heart_n be_v full_a of_o sin_n and_o evil_a thought_n etc._n etc._n and_o then_o i_o pray_v oh_o god_n be_v not_o angry_a with_o i_o but_o be_v merciful_a to_o i_o and_o show_v i_o what_o i_o shall_v do_v then_o i_o consider_v why_o do_v god_n bid_v noah_n make_v a_o ark_n and_o save_v noah_n and_o his_o son_n and_o their_o wife_n and_o by_o it_o my_o heart_n see_v that_o this_o be_v god_n work_n who_o do_v what_o he_o speak_v and_o have_v mercy_n on_o who_o he_o will_v and_o my_o heart_n think_v do_v god_n pardon_v i_o and_o love_v i_o it_o may_v be_v god_n will_v have_v mercy_n on_o i_o i_o hear_v that_o promise_n mat._n 3._o repent_v and_o believe_v for_o the_o kingdom_n of_o heaven_n be_v at_o hand_n then_o my_o heart_n say_v oh_o that_o god_n will_v help_v i_o and_o pardon_v my_o sin_n and_o god_n make_v i_o wonder_v at_o god_n mercy_n to_o i_o i_o hear_v of_o sodom_n and_o their_o great_a sin_n and_o destruction_n and_o that_o do_v make_v i_o to_o remember_v my_o great_a sin_n and_o the_o great_a work_n of_o god_n that_o he_o have_v almost_o kill_v i_o oh_o i_o think_v this_o be_v god_n work_n to_o show_v i_o my_o sin_n and_o as_o god_n save_v lot_n by_o the_o angel_n and_o send_v he_o out_o of_o the_o place_n but_o burn_v sodom_n and_o all_o the_o people_n this_o i_o see_v to_o be_v god_n work_n and_o now_o i_o desire_v to_o fear_v god_n and_o pray_v unto_o he_o all_o the_o day_n of_o my_o life_n again_o i_o hear_v mat._n 3._o the_o axe_n be_v lay_v to_o the_o root_n of_o the_o tree_n every_o tree_n that_o bring_v not_o forth_o good_a fruit_n be_v hew_v down_o and_o cast_v into_o the_o fire_n then_o i_o fear_v my_o own_o case_n because_o my_o fruit_n be_v sin_n and_o i_o deserve_v to_o be_v cut_v down_o then_o i_o desire_v to_o believe_v in_o christ_n i_o do_v believe_v that_o christ_n be_v the_o son_n of_o god_n by_o that_o word_n matth._n 4._o satan_n tempt_v christ_n if_o thou_o be_v the_o son_n of_o god_n etc._n etc._n but_o christ_n conquer_v satan_n and_o therefore_o assure_o he_o be_v the_o son_n of_o god_n then_o i_o consider_v that_o place_n mat._n 11._o many_o come_v to_o christ_n the_o halt_n and_o blind_a and_o lame_a and_o deaf_a and_o sick_a and_o he_o heal_v all_o and_o if_o they_o do_v but_o touch_n christ_n they_o be_v heal_v and_o therefore_o my_o heart_n believe_v assure_o he_o be_v the_o son_n of_o god_n and_o therefore_o now_o i_o will_v pray_v and_o oh_o let_v christ_n save_v i_o and_o christ_n have_v promise_v whatever_o you_o ask_v in_o my_o name_n it_o shall_v be_v do_v therefore_o now_o i_o pray_v oh_o christ_n jesus_n pardon_v i_o but_o my_o heart_n be_v weak_a and_o doubt_a and_o i_o can_v believe_v and_o i_o hear_v that_o word_n that_o every_o tree_n that_o bring_v not_o forth_o good_a fruit_n be_v cut_v down_o and_o cast_v into_o the_o fire_n then_o i_o say_v i_o deserve_v that_o again_o that_o word_n not_o every_o one_o that_o say_v lord_n lord_n but_o he_o that_o hear_v the_o word_n and_o do_v it_o assure_o it_o be_v so_o and_o i_o desire_v not_o only_o to_o hear_v the_o word_n but_o to_o do_v it_o then_o my_o heart_n be_v ashamed_a of_o my_o sin_n and_o grieve_v i_o hear_v that_o word_n matth._n 6._o bless_a be_v thou_o simon_n bar-ionah_n flesh_n and_o blood_n have_v not_o reveal_v this_o unto_o thou_o but_o my_o heavenly_a father_n then_o my_o heart_n say_v yea_o lord_n no_o man_n have_v teach_v i_o christ_n only_a god_n have_v teach_v my_o heart_n to_o know_v christ_n again_o i_o hear_v that_o word_n mat._n 1._o he_o will_v save_v his_o people_n from_o their_o sin_n then_o my_o heart_n say_v be_v it_o so_o to_o i_o oh_o lord_n again_o i_o hear_v that_o christ_n rise_v again_o the_o three_o day_n with_o a_o earthquake_n and_o the_o watchman_n be_v afraid_a and_o flee_v then_o my_o heart_n say_v sure_o this_o be_v christ_n the_o son_n of_o god_n and_o whosoever_o believe_v in_o christ_n his_o soul_n shall_v go_v to_o heaven_n for_o again_o i_o hear_v of_o the_o ascension_n of_o christ_n and_o more_o than_o five_o hundred_o see_v he_o ascend_v and_o therefore_o i_o believe_v this_o be_v christ_n the_o son_n of_o god_n again_o i_o hear_v that_o in_o john_n 14._o no_o man_n come_v unto_o the_o father_n but_o by_o i_o my_o heart_n answer_v yea_o assure_o oh_o lord_n christ_n be_v the_o way_n to_o believe_v in_o and_o come_v to_o god_n again_o i_o hear_v that_o mat._n 25._o christ_n say_v to_o the_o wicked_a depart_v you_o curse_v i_o say_v god_n may_v just_o say_v so_o to_o i_o and_o send_v i_o to_o eternal_a death_n but_o i_o earnest_o cry_v to_o god_n oh_o god_n set_v i_o into_o the_o right_a way_n and_o give_v i_o christ_n that_o i_o may_v ever_o walk_v with_o christ_n for_o i_o be_o poor_a and_o weak_a and_o christ_n promise_v that_o what_o we_o ask_v he_o will_v grant_v and_o i_o say_v let_v god_n do_v with_o i_o what_o he_o will_v but_o i_o beg_v mercy_n in_o christ_n only_o i_o desire_v to_o pray_v to_o god_n as_o long_o as_o i_o live_v john_n speen_n this_o i_o confess_v that_o i_o assure_o be_o a_o great_a sinner_n before_o the_o lord_n but_o now_o i_o beseech_v god_n to_o help_v i_o oh_o christ_n lead_v i_o in_o the_o right_a way_n that_o i_o may_v speak_v that_o which_o be_v right_a this_o i_o confess_v that_o before_o we_o pray_v to_o god_n i_o be_v whole_o a_o sinner_n and_o not_o only_o before_o but_o since_o pray_v to_o god_n i_o have_v be_v a_o great_a sinner_n and_o now_o i_o desire_v to_o make_v a_o short_a confession_n for_o we_o desire_v that_o they_o will_v be_v short_a the_o time_n require_v so_o at_o first_o when_o i_o pray_v my_o prayer_n be_v vain_a and_o only_o i_o pray_v with_o my_o mouth_n and_o on_o the_o sabbath_n only_o i_o come_v to_o the_o house_n of_o prayer_n i_o pray_v morning_n and_o evening_n and_o when_o i_o eat_v but_o i_o consider_v not_o what_o i_o pray_v for_o i_o be_v sometime_o angry_a and_o passionate_a about_o worldly_a matter_n and_o i_o be_v trouble_v when_o i_o see_v my_o brother_n be_v choose_v to_o be_v a_o ruler_n who_o be_v young_a than_o i_o because_o now_o i_o see_v that_o i_o be_v a_o sinner_n and_o though_o i_o repent_v yet_o present_o again_o i_o fall_v into_o sin_n therefore_o i_o think_v sure_o god_n have_v cast_v i_o off_o because_o i_o thus_o sin_n and_o still_o my_o heart_n be_v full_a of_o sin_n all_o my_o thought_n be_v full_a of_o sin_n all_o my_o talk_n and_o do_n be_v sinful_a but_o now_o of_o late_a about_o 2_o year_n ago_o i_o hear_v this_o word_n mat._n 12._o when_o the_o unclean_a spirit_n be_v cast_v out_o he_o go_v up_o and_o down_o unquiet_a then_o he_o return_v and_o take_v 7_o devil_n with_o he_o worse_o

before_o the_o elder_n make_v his_o confession_n as_o follow_v unto_o this_o day_n i_o do_v understand_v but_o little_a of_o the_o english_a language_n the_o word_n of_o god_n come_v not_o first_o unto_o my_o heart_n by_o the_o english_a language_n i_o do_v not_o know_v what_o state_n i_o be_v in_o at_o my_o first_o birth_n and_o my_o sin_n by_o birth_n i_o know_v not_o when_o i_o be_v young_a i_o know_v not_o what_o i_o be_v as_o now_o i_o do_v know_v for_o now_o i_o know_v that_o i_o be_o a_o sinful_a man_n since_o i_o pray_v to_o god_n i_o know_v more_o of_o myself_o but_o afore_o i_o care_v not_o for_o such_o thing_n nor_o what_o they_o say_v if_o i_o hear_v any_o thing_n i_o take_v no_o heed_n to_o it_o if_o any_o ask_v i_o whether_o i_o know_v god_n i_o do_v not_o regard_v it_o yea_o i_o hate_v the_o knowledge_n of_o god_n nor_o do_v i_o regard_v any_o word_n of_o god_n but_o other_o kind_n of_o pray_v which_o we_o use_v i_o do_v love_n to_o pray_v to_o the_o devil_n this_o i_o love_v but_o afterward_o i_o begin_v to_o think_v it_o may_v be_v they_o say_v true_a that_o speak_v of_o god_n it_o may_v be_v it_o be_v true_a that_o god_n be_v in_o heaven_n and_o shall_v any_o teach_v i_o in_o my_o language_n i_o may_v know_v god_n but_o if_o i_o shall_v pray_v it_o may_v be_v it_o be_v in_o vain_a to_o pray_v in_o my_o language_n can_v i_o speak_v english_a i_o may_v learn_v to_o pray_v and_o i_o see_v the_o english_a love_n we_o and_o therefore_o it_o be_v like_o that_o be_v true_a which_o they_o say_v of_o god_n and_o i_o desire_v to_o live_v for_o ever_o where_o they_o do_v when_o i_o first_o hear_v the_o word_n it_o say_v god_n be_v good_a a_o little_a i_o believe_v it_o but_o i_o do_v more_o doubt_n mr_n jackson_n ask_v i_o if_o i_o do_v pray_v to_o god_n i_o ask_v he_o whether_o god_n understand_v our_o language_n if_o i_o pray_v to_o he_o he_o say_v yea_o all_o thing_n god_n do_v know_v and_o all_o language_n then_o my_o heart_n say_v it_o may_v be_v i_o may_v attain_v to_o pray_v but_o my_o heart_n be_v hard_a and_o therefore_o i_o can_v not_o pray_v afterwards_o it_o may_v be_v i_o may_v sometime_o i_o think_v if_o we_o do_v not_o pray_v the_o english_a may_v kill_v we_o but_o if_o i_o pray_v i_o think_v i_o do_v not_o pray_v right_a when_o i_o see_v and_o consider_v that_o all_o man_n in_o the_o world_n die_v i_o know_v not_o how_o i_o may_v come_v to_o live_v for_o ever_o how_o my_o soul_n may_v live_v and_o therefore_o i_o desire_v i_o may_v pray_v to_o god_n aright_o because_o they_o that_o so_o pray_v be_v all_o one_o as_o if_o they_o die_v not_o but_o live_v for_o ever_o i_o wish_v i_o can_v pray_v aright_o but_o can_v not_o tell_v how_o to_o do_v it_o i_o do_v in_o my_o heart_n love_n wander_v about_o and_o our_o wild_a course_n always_o and_o when_o i_o do_v pray_v it_o be_v but_o outside_n pray_v for_o in_o my_o heart_n i_o understand_v not_o right_o pray_v to_o god_n i_o understand_v not_o how_o to_o pray_v and_o i_o regard_v not_o my_o weariness_n of_o that_o which_o be_v good_a many_o thing_n hinder_v my_o heart_n i_o be_v ashamed_a because_o my_o heart_n be_v full_a of_o evil_a sometime_o i_o think_v of_o my_o sin_n but_o it_o be_v but_o a_o little_a and_o i_o be_v soon_o weary_a of_o any_o good_a i_o do_v not_o think_v god_n be_v not_o merciful_a but_o i_o see_v my_o heart_n be_v nought_o and_o very_o little_o do_v i_o know_v the_o evil_n of_o my_o heart_n no_o humility_n be_v in_o my_o heart_n and_o to_o this_o day_n my_o heart_n be_v evil_a and_o hard_o be_v my_o heart_n when_o you_o teach_v we_o the_o word_n of_o god_n my_o heart_n do_v not_o believe_v but_o go_v contrary_a to_o the_o word_n of_o god_n i_o see_v my_o mourning_n for_o sin_n be_v not_o good_a i_o do_v confess_v my_o heart_n do_v not_o submit_v to_o god_n only_o i_o hope_v i_o may_v may_v learn_v the_o word_n of_o god_n which_o you_o teach_v we_o my_o heart_n do_v afore_o love_n pray_v to_o the_o devil_n but_o i_o do_v not_o find_v that_o i_o so_o love_v pray_v to_o god_n therefore_o i_o do_v pray_v lord_n break_v my_o heart_n that_o i_o may_v pray_v to_o god_n aright_o my_o heart_n be_v weary_a of_o pray_v quick_o and_o therefore_o my_o heart_n say_v sure_o my_o heart_n be_v nought_o and_o i_o be_o like_o a_o dead_a man_n and_o therefore_o i_o pray_v lord_n help_v i_o now_o to_o pray_v aright_o to_o god_n now_o i_o know_v that_o god_n know_v all_o the_o thought_n of_o my_o heart_n and_o my_o many_o sin_n and_o contrary_a do_n and_o how_o little_a i_o know_v of_o god_n sure_o i_o be_o a_o great_a sinner_n and_o this_o i_o do_v thorough_o know_v that_o great_a be_v my_o sin_n and_o that_o my_o heart_n be_v contrary_a to_o pray_v to_o god_n and_o my_o heart_n desire_v wild_a course_n and_o i_o see_v that_o my_o heart_n love_v not_o pray_v to_o god_n yet_o now_o my_o heart_n begin_v to_o desire_v to_o pray_v and_o to_o love_v those_o thing_n which_o be_v according_a to_o right_o pray_v but_o i_o know_v not_o what_o to_o do_v then_o i_o ask_v what_o i_o shall_v do_v then_o i_o hear_v this_o answer_n i_o shall_v desire_v christ_n to_o break_v my_o heart_n by_o his_o spirit_n none_o else_o in_o the_o world_n can_v do_v it_o no_o man_n can_v work_v faith_n in_o i_o but_o the_o word_n which_o i_o hear_v do_v it_o i_o can_v not_o myself_o repent_v of_o sin_n or_o be_v ashamed_a but_o this_o i_o know_v that_o the_o word_n of_o god_n say_v those_o that_o believe_v in_o christ_n shall_v not_o perish_v but_o have_v eternal_a life_n then_o my_o heart_n say_v oh_o lord_n let_v it_o be_v so_o to_o i_o and_o let_v not_o my_o heart_n say_v contrary_a again_o i_o hear_v if_o any_o be_v foolish_a let_v he_o ask_v wisdom_n of_o god_n who_o give_v free_o then_o my_o heart_n say_v i_o be_o foolish_a oh_o lord_n teach_v i_o then_o i_o fear_v that_o my_o heart_n in_o vain_a seek_v and_o then_o i_o desire_v humility_n and_o that_o i_o may_v not_o pray_v in_o vain_a and_o that_o i_o may_v not_o pray_v only_o outward_o but_o my_o heart_n have_v contrary_a and_o misbelieve_a thought_n daily_o and_o my_o heart_n do_v not_o daily_o desire_v after_o god_n and_o but_o a_o little_a can_v i_o remember_v of_o god_n sometime_o my_o heart_n desire_v not_o to_o be_v like_o to_o such_o as_o pray_v aright_o unto_o god_n therefore_o i_o desire_v the_o image_n of_o god_n upon_o i_o and_o that_o i_o may_v be_v like_o to_o they_o which_o pray_v to_o god_n aright_o always_o i_o think_v that_o what_o god_n say_v in_o his_o word_n be_v right_a i_o hear_v this_o word_n the_o fox_n have_v hole_n and_o the_o bird_n have_v nest_n but_o the_o son_n of_o man_n have_v not_o where_o to_o lay_v his_o head_n then_o my_o heart_n say_v truth_n lord_n the_o riches_n of_o this_o world_n
