the imaginations
of Mans heart
are evil
from
his
youth
;
one would
have
thought
it
fhould
have been thus
,
the
ima-
ginations
of
mans
heart are
evil,
and
therefore
I
will
do
no-
thing

curfe
the ground
:
No

God,
I will not,
becaufe
the imaginations
of
mans
heart
are
evil
from
his

youth
;
as
if
he
should fay
,
if
I
fhould
never
leave
cur-
fing
till man
leave
finning,
I
fhould
always
be
curling,
fo

If
I fhould
never
pardon
fin
till
mans
fins
are
Iefs
,
I
fhould never
pardon
at

Therefore
willl

For
the
iniquity
of
his covetoufnefs,
I
was
wroth
and
fmote
him,
I
hid
me
and
wao
Froth,
and
he
went
on
frowardly in
the way
of
his
heart.
Mark
what
follows ;
I
havefeen
his
ways,
and
will
heal him,
and
will
reftore
comfort
to
him
and
to
his
mourners, he went
on
frowardly
in the perverfnefs
of his
Spirit
fays
God,
I
have feen
his
ways
and
will
heal him
:
thus
God
expreffes
himfelf to the
end
of
the
Chapter to incourage
the
hearts of
thofe
that are
fenfible
of
their
fins,
and
would
be fenfible
of
the
evil
of
fin,
and
account
it
a
great mifery
that they
cannot
be
fenfible
of it, the
Lord
would incourage
them
,
therefore the
greatnefs
of
fin
is
no
difcouragement
at
all.
Further,
The
way
that
thou
takeft
is
the way
to
perifb,
there
can
be
no
good
in
that
way,
thou
maift pine
away
in
thine
iniquity,
but for to get any
Counfel,help, comfort,
or
mercy
be
afI'ur'd
thou
canft
not, therefore

And
it was
a
good going
to them

So
do you

if
I

is
no
way but
I

but
however
though
I
fhould never get any
