living_n and_o if_o this_o voice_n from_o heaven_n awake_v he_o not_o i_o must_v pronounce_v he_o not_o only_o dead_a in_o sin_n but_o in_o hell_n already_o for_o it_o be_v easy_a to_o observe_v that_o the_o ground_n of_o all_o despair_n be_v not_o from_o hence_o that_o we_o can_v but_o that_o we_o will_v not_o turn_v which_o much_o resemble_v that_o despair_n which_o chain_n the_o damn_a

as_o he_o think_v and_o therefore_o will_v not_o have_v not_o for_o want_v of_o faith_n which_o they_o have_v as_o well_o as_o he_o and_o tremble_v we_o despair_v not_o i_o say_v for_o want_v of_o faith_n for_o it_o be_v plain_a if_o we_o do_v not_o believe_v we_o can_v not_o despair_n unless_o peradventure_o we_o do_v with_o some_o conceive_v of_o faith_n as_o that_o instrument_n or_o habit_n by_o which_o we_o do_v apply_v and_o appropriate_a christ_n merit_n and_o promise_v to_o our_o soul_n which_o indeed_o be_v rather_o a_o act_n of_o our_o hope_n then_o of_o our_o faith_n despair_n be_v nothing_o else_o but_o the_o disability_n of_o apply_v christ_n merit_n to_o ourselves_o which_o be_v the_o effect_n not_o of_o infidelity_n but_o ungodliness_n for_o we_o believe_v this_o be_v the_o way_n and_o we_o know_v we_o have_v not_o walk_v in_o it_o and_o so_o despair_v we_o be_v not_o where_o in_o scripture_n command_v to_o be_v assure_v of_o our_o salvation_n but_o we_o be_v enjoin_v in_o plain_a term_n to_o make_v our_o election_n sure_a nor_o be_v we_o any_o where_n in_o scripture_n forbid_v to_o despair_n but_o if_o we_o make_v not_o good_a the_o condition_n we_o be_v

be_v no_o room_n for_o hope_n ask_v judas_n himself_o and_o he_o will_v tell_v you_o there_o be_v a_o god_n for_o if_o there_o be_v no_o god_n no_o heaven_n nor_o hell_n there_o can_v be_v no_o such_o thing_n as_o conscience_n ask_v he_o again_o and_o he_o will_v tell_v you_o he_o be_v true_a or_o he_o deny_v he_o to_o be_v god_n he_o will_v tell_v you_o of_o the_o riches_n of_o the_o glorious_a mystery_n of_o our_o redemption_n 1.27_o coloss_n 1.27_o and_o that_o in_o christ_n remission_n of_o sin_n be_v promise_v but_o his_o many_o sin_n and_o his_o late_a sin_n of_o betray_v his_o master_n cast_v so_o thick_a a_o cloud_n over_o his_o judgement_n that_o he_o can_v not_o see_v any_o beam_n of_o mercy_n cast_v towards_o he_o and_o so_o he_o conclude_v both_o against_o god_n and_o himself_o there_o be_v mercy_n for_o thousand_o but_o not_o for_o he_o god_n call_v sinner_n to_o repentance_n but_o not_o judas_n and_o when_o all_o the_o world_n may_v turn_v he_o will_v go_v and_o hang_v
