john_n 15.26_o you_o know_v christ_n promise_v his_o disciple_n a_o comforter_n and_o what_o be_v that_o comforter_n i_o pray_v but_o the_o spirit_n and_o the_o river_n mention_v o_o i_o think_v i_o

and_o strong_a and_o i_o fear_v at_o last_o will_v be_v my_o ruin_n o_o my_o friend_n let_v i_o tell_v thou_o two_o thing_n and_o do_v thou_o remember_v they_o first_o no_o soul_n be_v damn_v for_o the_o presence_n of_o sin_n but_o for_o the_o love_n of_o sin_n mark_v i_o i_o say_v it_o be_v not_o the_o presence_n of_o sin_n but_o the_o love_n of_o sin_n that_o damn_v my_o second_o word_n be_v this_o to_o thou_o o_o complain_v sinner_n sin_n flutter_v most_o when_o it_o have_v its_o death_n wound_n as_o soon_o as_o christ_n come_v into_o our_o heart_n he_o wound_v sin_n to_o the_o heart_n as_o i_o may_v so_o say_v by_o give_v a_o sight_n of_o it_o a_o dislike_n and_o hatred_n to_o it_o well_o thus_o christ_n wound_v sin_n and_o it_o may_v be_v now_o sin_n like_o some_o fowl_n who_o

keep_v more_o sputter_n now_o then_o ever_o well_o friend_n remember_v these_o sputtering_n be_v the_o death_n pang_n of_o sin_n i_o the_o death_n pang_n and_o be_v but_o patient_a thou_o shall_v plain_o see_v they_o to_o be_v no_o otherwise_o and_o therefore_o do_v not_o fill_v thy_o heart_n with_o fear_n of_o ruin_n for_o it_o shall_v never_o be_v for_o thou_o like_o david_n shall_v overcome_v saul_n thy_o enemy_n i_o mean_v corruption_n but_o in_o the_o mean_a time_n come_v away_o to_o the_o river_n drink_n drink_n and_o it_o will_v strengthen_v thou_o and_o cool_v thou_o o_o but_o now_o i_o think_v i_o hear_v some_o soul_n say_v i_o will_v drink_v with_o all_o my_o heart_n but_o i_o be_o a_o unworthy_a poor_a sinner_n o_o friend_n the_o more_o poor_a the_o more_o worthy_a to_o christ_n be_v thou_o poor_a then_o go_v to_o christ_n door_n he_o feed_v the_o poor_a but_o the_o rich_a he_o send_v empty_a away_o again_o thou_o be_v unworthy_a what_o do_v thou_o mean_v by_o unworthy_a thou_o see_v no_o reason_n why_o christ_n shall_v give_v thou_o the_o water_n of_o life_n nor_o the_o spirit_n i_o believe_v thou_o do_v not_o i_o very_o believe_v thou_o be_v unworty_fw-la in_o thyself_o and_o can_v see_v any_o reason_n why_o christ_n shall_v give_v thou_o the_o water_n of_o life_n but_o friend_n know_v there_o be_v a_o worthiness_n in_o christ_n and_o so_o thou_o may_v be_v worthy_a or_o any_o poor_a sinner_n who_o lay_v hold_v on_o christ_n worthiness_n and_o so_o go_v to_o the_o father_n in_o the_o worthiness_n of_o the_o son_n for_o the_o water_n of_o life_n and_o the_o river_n but_o to_o be_v plain_a with_o thou_o thou_o be_v indeed_o a_o proud_a
