since_o all_o these_o head_n do_v seldom_o occur_v be_v that_o you_o may_v speedy_o find_v out_o what_o vow_v you_o have_v make_v and_o so_o know_v whether_o you_o have_v perform_v they_o what_o prayer_n you_o have_v make_v and_o whether_o they_o have_v be_v answer_v what_o extraordinary_a manifestation_n you_o have_v have_v like_o that_o of_o mr._n murcate_n or_o of_o like_a nature_n and_o whether_o you_o have_v give_v special_a thanks_o and_o praise_n to_o god_n for_o they_o so_o you_o may_v easy_o see_v what_o grosser_n fail_n you_o have_v be_v guilty_a of_o and_o whether_o you_o have_v particular_o humble_v your_o soul_n before_o god_n for_o they_o as_o soon_o as_o ever_o you_o make_v any_o vow_n prayer_n or_o receive_v any_o deliverance_n etc._n etc._n you_o be_v to_o

shall_v be_v make_v public_a to_o all_o the_o world_n when_o i_o die_v which_o may_v be_v very_o scandalous_a to_o religion_n in_o several_a case_n and_o to_o make_v one_o grace_n and_o comfort_v know_v though_o after_o death_n may_v be_v a_o occasion_n or_o act_v of_o pride_n while_o we_o live_v to_o this_o i_o answer_v 1._o if_o thy_o sin_n be_v public_o know_v thou_o shall_v do_v something_o to_o make_v thy_o repentance_n as_o public_o know_v as_o david_n do_v psalm_n 51._o but_o if_o it_o be_v secret_a thou_o may_v have_v a_o secret_a mark_n in_o thy_o diary_n to_o signify_v

this_o be_v answer_v or_o else_o it_o be_v probable_a god_n may_v give_v thou_o so_o long_a time_n before_o thy_o death_n to_o dispose_v of_o matter_n as_o to_o give_v thy_o diary_n into_o the_o

how_o come_v it_o then_o that_o so_o many_o eminent_a saint_n do_v not_o have_v not_o keep_v a_o diary_n i_o answer_v 1._o suppose_v through_o ignorance_n they_o have_v neglect_v this_o duty_n will_v you_o therefore_o conclude_v that_o it_o be_v unprofitable_a to_o they_o that_o know_v it_o eminent_a saint_n may_v live_v all_o their_o life_n in_o a_o sin_n of_o omission_n and_o commission_n as_o

the_o practice_n of_o the_o saint_n in_o scripture_n 4._o suppose_v no_o such_o thing_n have_v be_v do_v do_v that_o argue_n that_o it_o be_v not_o convenient_a to_o be_v do_v now_o print_v have_v
