consider_v that_o god_n our_o lord_n assoon_o as_o adam_n and_o eva_n have_v sin_v be_v willing_a to_o reveal_v unto_o they_o the_o mysterye_n of_o the_o incarnation_n for_o the_o remedy_n of_o

for_o the_o which_o i_o be_o to_o give_v he_o many_o thank_n from_o hence_o i_o may_v likewise_o ascend_v to_o ponder_v how_o much_o the_o infinite_a mercy_n of_o

it_o they_o be_v most_o just_o condemn_v 2.10_o jacob_n 2.10_o for_o as_o the_o apostle_n s._n james_n say_v whosoever_o fall_v into_o one_o only_a sin_n break_v a_o commandment_n be_v make_v guilty_a of_o all_o as_o he_o that_o break_v many_o for_o he_o offend_v the_o god_n of_o infinite_a majesty_n who_o command_v they_o all_o to_o be_v observe_v 2._o then_o be_o i_o to_o make_v comparison_n of_o this_o sin_n with_o many_o of_o minne_n ponder_v with_o how_o much_o more_o reason_n i_o deserve_v to_o be_v in_o hell_n as_o those_o soul_n be_v for_o have_v offend_v god_n not_o once_o but_o many_o time_n and_o in_o other_o kind_n of_o sin_n without_o number_n o_o how_o just_o have_v i_o deserve_v that_o death_n shall_v have_v attach_v i_o in_o commit_v my_o first_o sin_n and_o that_o god_n shall_v have_v give_v i_o no_o time_n of_o repentance_n what_o move_v thou_o o_o my_o god_n to_o expect_v i_o more_o than_o these_o i_o confess_v that_o i_o deserve_v to_o be_v in_o their_o company_n but_o see_v thy_o majesty_n have_v with_o so_o much_o mercy_n expect_v i_o i_o resolve_v with_o thy_o grace_n to_o be_v very_o true_o and_o entire_o penitent_a 3._o i_o may_v also_o consider_v that_o it_o be_v no_o less_o a_o benefit_n of_o god_n to_o have_v preserve_v i_o from_o hell_n detain_v i_o from_o descend_v to_o everlasting_a torment_n then_o if_o after_o i_o have_v be_v descend_v he_o

of_o this_o merce_v &_o so_o repaye_v it_o as_o i_o ought_v i_o be_o to_o speak_v to_o myself_o say_v if_o god_n shall_v deliver_v one_o of_o these_o soul_n out_o of_o hell_n and_o give_v it_o a_o
