in_o the_o way_n of_o the_o gospel_n when_o the_o saint_n be_v join_v together_o in_o that_o way_n they_o must_v and_o aught_o to_o watch_v over_o one_o another_o and_o what_o great_a burden_n be_v this_o to_o a_o gracious_a heart_n to_o a_o carnal_a heart_n it_o be_v true_a all_o the_o way_n of_o god_n be_v burdensome_a but_o to_o a_o gracious_a heart_n it_o be_v a_o ease_n that_o there_o shall_v not_o only_o be_v my_o own_o care_n and_o the_o grace_n of_o god_n in_o i_o to_o watch_v over_o i_o but_o i_o shall_v have_v the_o use_n of_o all_o the_o grace_n in_o the_o all_o saint_n of_o

but_o all_o his_o saint_n a_o charge_n over_o thou_o likewise_o a_o prince_n have_v a_o great_a guard_n for_o the_o safety_n of_o his_o person_n and_o that_o be_v the_o honour_n of_o a_o prince_n he_o can_v go_v alone_o so_o as_o other_o do_v but_o must_v go_v with_o a_o guard_n now_o as_o the_o prince_n in_o a_o outward_a way_n so_o the_o saint_n in_o a_o spiritual_a way_n they_o be_v dear_a to_o

over_o they_o for_o it_o be_v as_o the_o scripture_n say_v that_o they_o shall_v not_o dash_v their_o foot_n against_o a_o stone_n they_o have_v charge_n over_o your_o body_n in_o a_o more_o peculiar_a way_n and_o the_o saint_n have_v charge_n over_o you_o in_o a_o more_o spiritual_a way_n now_o that_o you_o shall_v have_v angel_n to_o watch_v over_o your_o body_n and_o i_o make_v no_o question_n but_o they_o keep_v satan_n off_o from_o hurt_v of_o you_o and_o then_o you_o shall_v have_v the_o saint_n of_o god_n with_o who_o you_o shall_v live_v eternal_o in_o heaven_n and_o they_o shall_v watch_v over_o you_o for_o your_o spiritual_a good_a and_o so_o they_o shall_v communicate_v all_o their_o grace_n and_o gift_n and_o they_o be_v bind_v in_o conscience_n so_o to_o do_v and_o this_o be_v a_o great_a ease_n to_o a_o gracious_a heart_n object_n ay_o but_o you_o will_v say_v there_o be_v another_o difficulty_n if_o so_o be_v we_o fall_v at_o any_o time_n than_o we_o must_v

what_o i_o will_v i_o can_v give_v a_o proctor_n a_o little_a money_n or_o a_o archdeacon_n or_o a_o commissary_n or_o the_o like_a and_o then_o let_v the_o minister_n and_o the_o congregation_n do_v what_o they_o dare_v oh_o this_o be_v fine_a and_o easy_a to_o a_o wicked_a and_o corrupt_a heart_n but_o now_o to_o come_v to_o this_o that_o whatever_o you_o be_v rich_a or_o poor_a if_o you_o fall_v into_o scandalous_a sin_n it_o be_v not_o make_v friend_n this_o way_n or_o that_o way_n or_o to_o a_o minister_n no_o but_o you_o must_v come_v and_o make_v public_a confession_n &_o give_v public_a satisfaction_n and_o this_o be_v a_o yoke_n that_o be_v hard_a to_o a_o carnal_a heart_n but_o to_o a_o gracious_a heart_n it_o be_v easy_a what_o difficulty_n to_o a_o gracious_a heart_n be_v this_o i_o have_v public_o dishonour_v the_o name_n of_o god_n and_o now_o i_o come_v public_o to_o repair_v the_o name_n of_o god_n that_o i_o by_o my_o sin_n have_v darken_v and_o do_v hurt_n unto_o i_o come_v now_o to_o repair_v it_o open_o nay_o what_o ease_n can_v thou_o have_v till_o that_o be_v do_v certain_o if_o thy_o heart_n be_v thorough_o humble_v for_o the_o sin_n of_o thy_o soul_n wherein_o thou_o have_v sin_v public_o against_o god_n if_o thou_o have_v sin_v secret_o than_o christ_n require_v not_o public_a satisfaction_n but_o if_o thou_o have_v sin_v public_o what_o more_o suitable_a to_o thy_o heart_n if_o gracious_a than_o this_o oh_o that_o i_o may_v public_o repair_v the_o honour_n of_o god_n that_o have_v public_o be_v dishonour_v by_o my_o sin_n how_o can_v thou_o sleep_v or_o die_v before_o thou_o have_v do_v this_o i_o can_v possible_o see_v how_o such_o a_o man_n or_o woman_n can_v die_v quiet_o and_o go_v out_o of_o the_o world_n quiet_o except_o they_o have_v have_v some_o opportunity_n to_o repair_v the_o honour_n of_o god_n public_o as_o they_o have_v sin_v public_o and_o therefore_o this_o be_v not_o a_o way_n of_o punishment_n and_o

to_o repair_v the_o honour_n of_o god_n that_o they_o have_v impair_v by_o their_o sin_n christ_n require_v that_o every_o one_o shall_v mourn_v
the_o yoke_n of_o the_o devil_n and_o under_o the_o yoke_n of_o antichrist_n then_o under_o the_o yoke_n of_o jesus_n christ_n whereas_o the_o truth_n be_v jesus_n christ_n be_v come_v into_o the_o
