Token
a

to
all
of

;
O the
a-
boundance
of
fin
that
is
committed
in
the time
of

:
There
were
many
great
fins
committed
among
the peopleof
God
in

was known
in England,
fo
much
fins among
Godly
people

daft
three
years,

have
more
de61'd them-

by
finful
diflempers in

lafl
three
years
then ever
they
were defil'd
in

England:
As in
a
fatnily,fcmetimes
there
is
more
fin

one
hour where
there
are brawles
and
contentions
and

another family
in
a
whole
twelve month, yea,

I
