word_n mat._n 12._o the_o unclean_a spirit_n be_v cast_v out_o of_o a_o man_n he_o walk_v about_o seek_v rest_n and_o find_v none_o then_o he_o return_v and_o bring_v 7_o other_o spirit_n with_o he_o worse_o than_o himself_o and_o the_o end_n of_o that_o man_n be_v worse_a than_o his_o beginning_n when_o i_o hear_v this_o my_o heart_n fear_v i_o think_v now_o i_o repent_v of_o my_o many_o sin_n for_o very_o i_o be_o a_o great_a sinner_n and_o i_o have_v offend_v i_o be_o 7_o time_n worse_o than_o before_o i_o pray_v then_o i_o repent_v again_o i_o hear_v that_o word_n he_o that_o penitent_o believe_v shall_v be_v save_v and_o then_o my_o heart_n do_v desire_v to_o repent_v and_o believe_v than_o i_o think_v that_o man_n will_v not_o forgive_v i_o and_o therefore_o it_o be_v not_o good_a to_o abide_v in_o this_o place_n but_o i_o remember_v that_o i_o have_v learned_a to_o read_v the_o word_n and_o if_o i_o shall_v forsake_v my_o friend_n i_o shall_v lose_v the_o word_n of_o god_n then_o i_o hear_v that_o word_n repent_v for_o the_o kingdom_n of_o heaven_n be_v at_o hand_n my_o heart_n say_v o_o let_v it_o be_v so_o and_o then_o my_o heart_n rest_v but_o yet_o quick_o it_o be_v unquiet_a again_o then_o i_o do_v strong_o desire_v to_o repent_v of_o my_o sin_n i_o hear_v that_o word_n that_o god_n sow_a good_a seed_n but_o evil_a seed_n be_v sow_v by_o the_o enemy_n and_o such_o be_v in_o my_o heart_n and_o as_o in_o my_o field_n there_o be_v many_o root_n and_o weed_n which_o spoil_v the_o corn_n and_o i_o pluck_v they_o up_o and_o cast_v they_o out_o my_o heart_n say_v very_o just_a so_o be_v my_o heart_n the_o word_n be_v but_o a_o little_a in_o my_o heart_n and_o there_o be_v many_o ill_a root_n in_o i_o and_o therefore_o god_n may_v just_o cast_v i_o out_o from_o among_o his_o people_n because_o of_o my_o many_o sin_n then_o my_o heart_n say_v i_o desire_v to_o pray_v to_o god_n as_o long_o as_o i_o live_v and_o now_o i_o forsake_v my_o sin_n who_o have_v be_v a_o great_a sinner_n now_o i_o beg_v of_o christ_n o_o give_v i_o thy_o spirit_n that_o i_o may_v confess_v my_o sin_n before_o god_n and_o not_o only_o before_o man_n again_o i_o remember_v that_o i_o can_v pardon_v or_o help_v myself_o but_o only_o christ_n must_v help_v i_o again_o i_o hear_v that_o word_n all_o manner_n of_o sin_n shall_v be_v forgive_v to_o a_o man_n but_o the_o sin_n against_o the_o holy_a ghost_n shall_v not_o be_v forgive_v in_o this_o world_n nor_o in_o the_o world_n to_o come_v then_o my_o heart_n fear_v because_o many_o and_o great_a be_v my_o sin_n since_o i_o pray_v to_o god_n and_o i_o cry_v to_o god_n for_o mercy_n and_o pardon_n and_o then_o i_o think_v i_o will_v pray_v to_o god_n as_o long_o as_o i_o live_v but_o very_o i_o be_o a_o sinner_n for_o i_o be_o guilty_a not_o only_o of_o adam_n sin_n but_o of_o my_o own_o sin_n also_o and_o they_o be_v many_o i_o remember_v that_o in_o catechism_n i_o learn_v that_o god_n make_v a_o covenant_n of_o work_n with_o adam_n do_v the_o command_n and_o thou_o shall_v live_v and_o thy_o seed_n also_o but_o if_o thou_o sin_v thou_o shall_v die_v and_o thy_o seed_n also_o therefore_o by_o that_o i_o know_v i_o be_o a_o sinner_n and_o have_v deserve_v to_o die_v then_o i_o cry_v to_o god_n o_o god_n have_v mercy_n upon_o i_o and_o pardon_v i_o again_o i_o hear_v of_o the_o mercy_n of_o god_n but_o i_o be_o forgetful_a and_o can_v remember_v god_n mercy_n to_o i_o god_n make_v a_o covenant_n with_o abraham_n and_o say_v i_o will_v be_v thy_o god_n and_o the_o god_n of_o thy_o seed_n after_o thou_o than_o my_o heart_n say_v o_o let_v it_o be_v so_o to_o i_o o_o lord_n and_o now_o abraham_n be_v in_o heaven_n who_o believe_v and_o keep_v god_n covenant_n so_o i_o if_o i_o believe_v and_o keep_v god_n covenant_n god_n will_v have_v mercy_n on_o i_o i_o remember_v the_o covenant_n of_o circumcision_n to_o he_o and_o all_o his_o family_n and_o such_o a_o covenant_n i_o desire_v for_o i_o and_o i_o again_o i_o hear_v mat._n 3._o in_o those_o day_n john_n baptise_v in_o jordan_n say_v repent_v for_o the_o kingdom_n of_o god_n be_v at_o hand_n when_o i_o hear_v this_o my_o heart_n say_v the_o same_o be_v now_o with_o we_o not_o abraham_n sign_n but_o baptism_n and_o therefore_o i_o desire_v to_o repent_v and_o confess_v before_o god_n and_o before_o the_o church_n and_o i_o desire_v not_o only_o to_o confess_v but_o to_o have_v repentance_n and_o faith_n that_o i_o may_v have_v grace_n mercy_n and_o pardon_n and_o such_o repentance_n as_o work_n obedience_n again_o the_o same_o word_n say_v vers._n 6._o they_o be_v baptise_v confess_v their_o sin_n so_o i_o desire_v to_o do_v i_o do_v confess_v before_o god_n and_o desire_v to_o cast_v off_o and_o forsake_v my_o sin_n and_o to_o go_v to_o christ_n the_o promise_n of_o pardon_n be_v to_o they_o that_o penitent_o believe_v and_o rest_n on_o christ_n in_o the_o same_o baptism_n of_o john_n he_o say_v i_o baptise_v you_o with_o water_n but_o he_o that_o come_v after_o i_o be_v mighty_a than_o i_o he_o shall_v baptise_v you_o with_o the_o holy_a ghost_n and_o fire_n now_o this_o baptism_n i_o desire_v and_o not_o to_o receive_v the_o sign_n in_o vain_a i_o desire_v to_o purge_v out_o evil_a thought_n and_o therefore_o i_o confess_v these_o sin_n before_o god_n that_o they_o may_v be_v purge_v and_o i_o desire_v the_o spirit_n of_o god_n may_v dwell_v in_o i_o for_o ever_o to_o turn_v i_o to_o christ_n i_o can_v of_o myself_o do_v any_o of_o these_o thing_n but_o only_o christ_n jesus_n can_v by_o his_o spirit_n in_o i_o again_o i_o hear_v another_o word_n as_o the_o eagle_n be_v about_o a_o carcase_n so_o believer_n come_v to_o christ_n then_o my_o heart_n say_v so_o be_v it_o oh_o lord_n when_o i_o receive_v the_o covenant_n of_o god_n i_o be_o like_o the_o eagle_n when_o i_o come_v to_o christ_n i_o desire_v not_o to_o come_v in_o vain_a but_o if_o i_o feed_v not_o i_o shall_v die_v my_o soul_n will_v die_v then_o i_o great_o beg_v that_o i_o may_v feed_v my_o soul_n on_o christ_n and_o oh_o christ_n send_v thy_o spirit_n into_o my_o heart_n that_o i_o may_v not_o only_o know_v but_o do_v the_o word_n of_o god_n again_o christ_n near_o his_o death_n take_v bread_n and_o bless_v it_o and_o break_v it_o and_o give_v it_o to_o his_o disciple_n and_o say_v take_v you_o eat_v you_o this_o be_v my_o body_n which_o be_v break_v for_o you_o and_o so_o also_o he_o do_v the_o cup_n and_o say_v drink_v you_o of_o it_o this_o be_v the_o cup_n of_o my_o blood_n in_o the_o new_a testament_n which_o be_v shed_v for_o the_o remission_n of_o sin_n now_o this_o believer_n in_o christ_n must_v do_v not_o only_o to_o eat_v bread_n and_o to_o take_v the_o sign_n but_o soul_n food_n therefore_o christ_n send_v his_o spirit_n and_o help_v i_o i_o desire_v to_o receive_v the_o sign_n not_o in_o vain_a but_o to_o help_v my_o faith_n when_o i_o have_v read_v this_o confession_n in_o the_o assembly_n we_o call_v upon_o the_o witness_n as_o before_o we_o do_v who_o answer_n be_v to_o the_o like_a purpose_n as_o before_o wutasakompavin_n he_o be_v next_o call_v forth_o who_o thus_o speak_v help_v i_o oh_o jesus_n christ_n to_o confess_v before_o the_o lord_n oh_o i_o be_o full_a of_o sin_n because_o adam_n sin_n make_v i_o and_o so_o be_v a_o sinner_n in_o my_o mother_n womb_n when_o i_o be_v a_o youth_n i_o find_v many_o sin_n and_o after_o i_o be_v grow_v up_o i_o do_v the_o same_o always_o all_o the_o day_n of_o my_o life_n i_o live_v in_o sin_n after_o the_o english_a come_v i_o go_v to_o their_o house_n they_o will_v teach_v i_o about_o god_n but_o i_o hate_v it_o and_o go_v out_o i_o do_v not_o love_v such_o teach_n afterward_o the_o minister_n teach_v and_o at_o first_o waban_n persuade_v i_o to_o pray_v and_o teach_v we_o i_o do_v not_o at_o first_o like_o it_o yet_o afterward_o i_o do_v four_o year_n the_o minister_n come_v to_o noonantam_n i_o come_v but_o i_o only_o come_v i_o lose_v all_o he_o teach_v after_o i_o consider_v one_o word_n the_o minister_n say_v that_o god_n send_v he_o to_o teach_v we_o then_o i_o think_v sure_o there_o be_v a_o god_n therefore_o i_o must_v believe_v and_o pray_v a_o little_a i_o believe_v but_o when_o i_o hear_v i_o do_v only_o outward_o hear_v after_o my_o wife_n and_o child_n die_v and_o then_o i_o almost_o cast_v off_o pray_v i_o have_v another_o wife_n and_o she_o die_v also_o

to_o understand_v more_o i_o begin_v to_o doubt_v but_o i_o desire_v not_o conversion_n from_o sin_n afterward_o when_o the_o english_a teach_v i_o i_o will_v sit_v still_o because_o they_o will_v give_v i_o good_a victual_n then_o i_o sometime_o think_v certain_o god_n be_v in_o heaven_n then_o my_o thought_n say_v it_o may_v be_v i_o have_v sin_v again_o i_o think_v if_o i_o pray_v god_n can_v not_o understand_v i_o then_o i_o find_v it_o hard_a to_o believe_v and_o love_n god_n because_o i_o be_v almost_o a_o old_a man_n because_o i_o think_v if_o any_o can_v read_v the_o book_n he_o will_v love_v god_n i_o ask_v mr_n jackson_n whether_o god_n know_v our_o language_n he_o answer_v yea_o god_n know_v all_o language_n in_o the_o world_n and_o therefore_o now_o pray_v unto_o god_n then_o i_o first_o think_v i_o will_v pray_v unto_o god_n a_o little_a i_o think_v of_o pray_v sometime_o i_o will_v a_o little_a pray_v when_o i_o eat_v about_o that_o time_n you_o come_v to_o teach_v we_o then_o i_o remember_v the_o word_n glad_a tiding_n be_v send_v we_o from_o heaven_n then_o my_o heart_n say_v now_o i_o will_v pray_v because_o the_o minister_n be_v come_v to_o my_o house_n now_o i_o hear_v the_o word_n of_o god_n then_o you_o call_v the_o child_n to_o catechism_n and_o one_o question_n be_v who_o redeem_v you_o then_o you_o teach_v that_o christ_n die_v for_o our_o sin_n then_o my_o heart_n think_v that_o christ_n be_v a_o very_a great_a life-giving_a god_n then_o i_o fear_v not_o pauwaus_n nor_o love_v they_o and_o the_o minister_n teach_v that_o we_o must_v take_v heed_n of_o all_o these_o sin_n then_o my_o heart_n say_v i_o will_v leave_v off_o my_o sin_n and_o again_o my_o heart_n say_v i_o will_v pray_v to_o god_n as_o long_o as_o i_o live_v further_o you_o teach_v that_o christ_n die_v for_o sin_n be_v bury_v rise_v again_o ascend_v then_o my_o heart_n hope_v and_o desire_v oh_o that_o it_o may_v be_v so_o that_o i_o may_v have_v eternal_a life_n by_o christ_n because_o christ_n be_v a_o great_a life-giving_a god_n but_o than_o i_o find_v that_o i_o do_v not_o understand_v right_a word_n and_o therefore_o i_o walk_v not_o in_o the_o right_a way_n when_o the_o word_n of_o god_n say_v six_o day_n shall_v thou_o labour_v than_o i_o be_v strong_a yet_o i_o do_v not_o labour_v and_o i_o be_v soon_o weary_a of_o pray_v to_o god_n and_o therefore_o i_o see_v i_o find_v not_o the_o right_a way_n unto_o righteousness_n therefore_o now_o i_o very_o see_v that_o i_o be_o a_o sinner_n and_o do_v not_o believe_v my_o heart_n fear_v because_o of_o my_o great_a sin_n and_o my_o heart_n fear_v that_o i_o do_v not_o yet_o much_o know_v the_o word_n of_o god_n sometime_o my_o heart_n say_v i_o believe_v i_o be_o a_o believer_n but_o my_o heart_n wander_v away_o and_o the_o deceit_n of_o my_o heart_n i_o sometime_o know_v and_o my_o poverty_n i_o know_v but_o my_o heart_n care_v not_o for_o that_o i_o reject_v riches_n but_o my_o heart_n say_v strong_o i_o will_v pray_v to_o god_n so_o long_o as_o i_o live_v i_o do_v not_o thorough_o know_v the_o vanity_n of_o my_o mind_n i_o have_v hear_v the_o word_n but_o believe_v it_o not_o i_o remember_v that_o word_n of_o christ_n the_o pharisee_n say_v why_o do_v you_o master_n eat_v with_o publican_n and_o sinner_n christ_n say_v those_o that_o be_v not_o sick_a need_v not_o the_o physician_n but_o they_o that_o be_v sick_a my_o heart_n say_v sure_o i_o do_v not_o need_v the_o physician_n but_o my_o desire_n be_v now_o that_o i_o may_v need_v he_o and_o spiritual_a life_n by_o he_o again_o i_o hear_v that_o word_n of_o christ_n a_o leper_n come_v to_o christ_n and_o worship_v he_o say_v lord_n if_o thou_o will_v thou_o can_v make_v i_o clean_o and_o christ_n touch_v he_o and_o he_o be_v perfect_o heal_v then_o my_o heart_n say_v that_o outward_a heal_n which_o he_o have_v my_o soul_n desire_v that_o i_o may_v have_v it_o in_o my_o soul_n for_o christ_n heal_v the_o outward_a disease_n of_o the_o body_n but_o especial_o the_o inward_a filth_n of_o the_o soul_n this_o i_o desire_v may_v be_v heal_v again_o i_o hear_v that_o word_n go_v learn_v what_o that_o mean_v i_o desire_v mercy_n and_o not_o sacrifice_v i_o come_v not_o to_o call_v the_o righteous_a but_o sinner_n to_o repentance_n then_o my_o heart_n say_v my_o own_o righteousness_n can_v obtain_v mercy_n for_o i_o then_o my_o heart_n say_v oh_o i_o fear_v that_o christ_n the_o true_a righteousness_n be_v not_o in_o my_o heart_n i_o be_o almost_o ready_a to_o die_v and_o now_o i_o desire_v to_o know_v christ_n when_o mr_n peirson_n have_v do_v read_v these_o two_o last_o confession_n mr_n wilson_n speak_v to_o this_o purpose_n though_o they_o have_v all_o speak_v well_o of_o jesus_n christ_n in_o their_o confession_n and_o especial_o the_o last_o viz_n monotunkani●_z yet_o he_o desire_v further_a to_o hear_v how_o they_o be_v instruct_v in_o the_o knowledge_n of_o christ_n this_o

as_o that_o there_o be_v no_o reply_n nish●hko●_z answer_v the_o question_n what_o faith_n be_v mr_n allin_n ask_v he_o whether_o he_o have_v that_o faith_n in_o his_o heart_n which_o he_o now_o

lord_n mercy_n that_o he_o will_v work_v it_o in_o he_o and_o help_v he_o to_o believe_v then_o mr_n danforth_n say_v i_o ask_v you_o nishohkou_n this_o question_n and_o answer_v i_o in_o english_a whether_o the_o same_o lust_n which_o you_o have_v so_o much_o confess_v do_v not_o follow_v you_o still_o and_o what_o you_o do_v to_o resist_v they_o i_o say_v that_o a_o question_n to_o the_o
