(hallye
remember
your
own
cvill
wages,
and
your doings
that
were
rot
god,
and
fall
loath
your
felves in your
own
fight
for
your
ini-
quities
and
for
your abominations.
And
God
accounts
them to be
cleanfed
that do
loath themfelves for
their
iniquities and
abo-
minations
:
And no men and women do more loath
themfelves
for
their iniquities
and abominations,
than thole
that
ate moll
cleanfed from
their iniquities
and abominations
;
its
a
notable
Scripture
for
ir,
and fpeakes
of
the
times of the
Col-pell,
that
f
hewes
the
evill
of
thole
vain
and
wanton fpirits among
us,
that
in
magnifying of
free
grace grow
Eolith
and
wanton, and
never
fenfible
of the remaining
evils
that are
in
their hearts,
they think
they are cleanfed
by
the blood of
Chril

and
by
the
Spirit
of
Chri(}
:
but
the text promifes, that when the Lord
!hall
cleanfe
his
people
,
that then they
loath
them
-
felves
for all
their
abominations,
and
for
all
their
evils.
Though
there
be evill
remaining, yet

to
prevent the
cccafions
of e-

may
be.
And foutthly,
Such
a
one loves
the
aridefa
rule,I
find
much
impurity
in my
heart,
but
God
knowes
the
(Iric`Ietl
rule
I
aim
at,
and
thole that
grow up moll in godlineffe
my
heart
is

'Fifthly and Iallly, my

I
hope
there
is
a

coming when

for
the prefent
