day_n i_o enjoy_v much_o consolation_n both_o from_o the_o scripture_n special_o psal_n 37.24.35.39_o though_o he_o fall_v mean_v the_o good_a man_n he_o shall_v not_o utter_o be_v cast_v down_o nor_o

more_o sensible_a of_o my_o own_o and_o other_o man_n sin_n and_o my_o own_o and_o other_o man_n suffering_n 3._o more_o humble_v for_o my_o unprofitableness_n in_o my_o imprisonment_n 4._o more_o

prevent_a grace_n especial_o that_o which_o prevent_v from_o sin_n have_v be_v frequent_o cause_n of_o rejoice_v to_o i_o this_o day_n i_o have_v little_a change_n in_o the_o frame_n of_o my_o spirit_n either_o to_o good_a or_o evil_n but_o some_o sense_n i_o have_v of_o my_o own_o weakness_n yet_o i_o have_v some_o comfort_n from_o those_o word_n psal_n 40.17_o but_o i_o be_o poor_a and_o needy_a yet_o the_o lord_n think_v on_o i_o and_o psal_n 42.8_o yet_o the_o lord_n will_v command_v his_o love_a kindness_n and_o his_o song_n shall_v be_v with_o i_o and_o my_o prayer_n unto_o the_o god_n of_o my_o life_n this_o day_n i_o have_v a_o good_a and_o comfortable_a day_n to_o my_o soul_n especial_o in_o prayer_n four_o thing_n i_o see_v cause_n to_o be_v humble_v for_o first_o that_o i_o have_v not_o more_o sense_n of_o the_o sin_n and_o suffering_n of_o god_n people_n or_o of_o my_o own_o second_o that_o the_o work_n glory_n way_n ordinance_n &_o people_n of_o the_o lord_n be_v

such_o darkness_n upon_o and_o division_n among_o christian_n i_o have_v it_o much_o in_o my_o heart_n to_o desire_v two_o thing_n from_o the_o lord_n viz._n first_o power_n against_o my_o sin_n second_o preparation_n for_o suffering_n this_o day_n i_o be_v much_o trouble_v for_o hear_v one_o swear_v several_a oath_n and_o not_o reprove_v he_o for_o the_o same_o and_o convince_v also_o from_o

have_v do_v that_o i_o shall_v pray_v more_o earnest_o and_o turn_v more_o thorough_o and_o perfect_o unto_o the_o lord_n and_o that_o evening_n i_o can_v and_o do_v pray_v most_o hearty_o for_o my_o
