give_v all_o the_o respect_n that_o may_v be_v to_o he_o because_o he_o be_v the_o only_a saviour_n of_o soul_n and_o for_o the_o blood_n of_o the_o covenant_n take_v heed_n you_o sin_v not_o

of_o i_o own_o heart_n more_o than_o all_o the_o good_a that_o be_v in_o the_o covenant_n now_o do_v you_o think_v can_v such_o a_o soul_n as_o this_o be_v save_v now_o you_o sin_n against_o the_o

people_n be_v mighty_a earnest_n about_o come_v to_o sacrament_n now_o do_v but_o read_v 1_o cor._n 11._o it_o be_v a_o scripture_n which_o i_o know_v you_o that_o be_v acquaint_v with_o scripture_n

and_o drink_v your_o own_o soul_n damnation_n and_o then_o take_v heed_n of_o sin_v against_o the_o mercy_n of_o god_n let_v not_o mercy_n harden_v you_o but_o let_v it_o soften_v your_o heart_n oh_o that_o soul_n be_v in_o a_o good_a forwardness_n to_o be_v save_v that_o every_o time_n it_o think_v of_o the_o mercy_n of_o god_n it_o find_v itself_o to_o melt_v before_o the_o lord_n and_o mourn_v

for_o who_o shall_v hear_v and_o plead_v for_o thy_o soul_n before_o god_n when_o as_o thou_o be_v guilty_a of_o the_o blood_n of_o jesus_n christ_n and_o what_o be_v it_o that_o shall_v be_v thy_o
