the_o duty_n of_o all_o true_o humble_a sinner_n to_o go_v to_o christ_n and_o believe_v in_o he_o it_o be_v the_o duty_n of_o a_o sick_a man_n to_o apply_v himself_o to_o a_o skilful_a physician_n and_o as_o such_o a_o one_o must_v not_o destroy_v his_o own_o life_n by_o a_o wilful_a refuse_v the_o physic_n that_o will_v cure_v he_o so_o neither_o must_v the_o humble_a sinner_n destroy_v his_o own_o soul_n by_o refuse_v to_o close_v with_o christ_n he_o must_v not_o add_v to_o all_o the_o rest_n of_o his_o sin_n unbelief_n and_o a_o wilful_a neglect_n of_o christ_n and_o the_o salvation_n by_o he_o purchase_v and_o so_o free_o offer_v 5._o consider_v that_o the_o humble_a sinner_n by_o believe_v in_o christ_n do_v not_o only_o bring_v comfort_n and_o salvation_n to_o his_o own_o soul_n but_o also_o in_o a_o eminent_a manner_n bring_v glory_n to_o god_n when_o thou_o though_o discourage_v in_o thyself_o by_o reason_n of_o thy_o sin_n dare_v venture_v thy_o soul_n in_o the_o hand_n of_o christ_n when_o thou_o make_v thy_o way_n through_o all_o doubt_n scruple_n and_o misgiving_n of_o heart_n and_o take_v god_n bare_a word_n because_o he_o have_v say_v it_o thereby_o set_v thy_o

consider_v it_o be_v the_o great_a folly_n and_o madness_n in_o the_o world_n for_o a_o humble_a sinner_n not_o to_o close_v with_o christ_n and_o commit_v his_o soul_n unto_o he_o what_o a_o
