a_o part_n of_o repentance_n and_o then_o forgiveness_n second_o there_o be_v no_o promise_n in_o all_o scripture_n that_o god_n will_v pardon_v a_o sin_n before_o repentance_n for_o sin_n but_o there_o be_v many_o promise_n that_o god_n will_v pardon_v when_o they_o do_v repent_v jer._n 23._o 8._o and_o i_o will_v cleanse_v they_o from_o all_o their_o iniquity_n whereby_o they_o have_v sin_v against_o i_o and_o i_o will_v pardon_v all_o their_o iniquity_n whereby_o they_o have_v sin_v and_o whereby_o they_o have_v transgress_v against_o i_o many_o promise_n that_o when_o man_n repent_v of_o sin_n they_o shall_v have_v ●in_v pardon_v but_o there_o be_v never_o a_o promise_n that_o have_v any_o show_n that_o before_o a_o man_n repent_v he_o shall_v have_v pardon_n three_o the_o scripture_n do_v lay_v all_o man_n under_o a_o state_n of_o wrath_n and_o condemnation_n till_o they_o believe_v and_o repent_v unless_o you_o repent_v you_o shall_v all_o likewise_o perish_v luk._n 13._o 5._o i_o tell_v you_o nay_o but_o except_o you_o repent_v you_o shall_v all_o likewise_o perish_v ephes_n 2._o 3._o among_o who_o also_o we_o have_v our_o conversation_n in_o time_n pass_v in_o the_o lust_n of_o our_o flesh_n fulfil_n the_o desire_n of_o the_o flesh_n and_o of_o the_o mind_n and_o be_v by_o nature_n the_o child_n of_o wrath_n even_o as_o other_o verse_n 12._o that_o at_o that_o time_n you_o be_v without_o christ_n be_v alien_n from_o the_o commonwealth_n of_o israel_n and_o stranger_n from_o the_o covenant_n of_o promise_n have_v no_o hope_n and_o without_o god_n in_o the_o world_n no_o hope_n of_o heaven_n no_o hope_n of_o pardon_n in_o a_o unconverted_a state_n now_o by_o the_o suffering_n of_o christ_n we_o receive_v pardon_n a_o man_n unrepent_v be_v a_o man_n without_o christ_n therefore_o sure_o without_o pardon_n therefore_o the_o antinomian_o doctrine_n do_v bolster_v man_n in_o profaneness_n say_v in_o a_o manner_n to_o a_o drunkard_n go_v on_o in_o drunkenness_n for_o god_n have_v pardon_v thou_o from_o all_o eternity_n but_o i_o say_v repent_v therefore_o that_o your_o sin_n may_v be_v blot_v out_o there_o be_v not_o only_o these_o express_a testimony_n in_o scripture_n and_o reason_n ground_v thereupon_o but_o manifold_a and_o gross_a absurdity_n that_o will_v follow_v if_o you_o shall_v deny_v this_o truth_n this_o will_v follow_v then_o that_o there_o be_v no_o difference_n between_o a_o convert_a man_n and_o a_o man_n unconvert_v and_o be_v not_o this_o gross_a to_o say_v that_o there_o be_v as_o much_o comfort_n to_o a_o man_n before_o he_o be_v convert_v as_o to_o one_o after_o he_o be_v convert_v second_o if_o a_o man_n be_v pardon_v before_o he_o believe_v and_o repent_v than_o this_o destroy_v justification_n by_o faith_n be_v justify_v by_o faith_n we_o have_v peace_n with_o god_n now_o justification_n be_v a_o pardon_v of_o sin_n be_v god_n gracious_a act_n and_o not_o impute_v sin_n unto_o you_o when_o the_o scripture_n say_v i_o be_o justify_v by_o faith_n and_o the_o antinomian_n say_v i_o be_o justify_v without_o faith_n where_o lie_v the_o error_n now_o then_o to_o say_v that_o a_o man_n be_v pardon_v before_o he_o believe_v and_o repent_v be_v in_o express_a term_n to_o contradict_v the_o scripture_n when_o the_o scripture_n say_v he_o be_v justify_v by_o faith_n the_o antinomian_o have_v this_o evasion_n say_v they_o a_o man_n be_v pardon_v before_o he_o believe_v he_o be_v actual_o pardon_v but_o when_o he_o believe_v than_o he_o have_v manifestation_n of_o pardon_n on_o this_o evasion_n another_o gross_a error_n will_v follow_v for_o by_o this_o reason_n faith_n be_v no_o more_o instrumental_a to_o justification_n then_o as_o it_o be_v declarative_a to_o a_o man_n that_o he_o be_v justify_v whereas_o the_o scripture_n say_v there_o be_v more_o use_n of_o faith_n for_o faith_n be_v a_o instrument_n actual_o to_o lay_v hold_n on_o christ_n for_o pardon_n the_o grace_n of_o love_n to_o christ_n the_o grace_n of_o humility_n the_o grace_n of_o selfe-deniall_n and_o the_o grace_n of_o mortification_n these_o do_v evidence_n and_o declare_v a_o pardon_v state_n as_o well_o as_o faith_n this_o be_v to_o destroy_v the_o main_a use_n of_o faith_n and_o make_v faith_n of_o little_a or_o no_o use_n in_o justification_n again_o another_o absurdity_n will_v follow_v to_o say_v that_o a_o man_n before_o he_o repent_v be_v pardon_v it_o be_v as_o much_o as_o to_o say_v before_o a_o man_n be_v in_o christ_n he_o be_v pardon_v this_o be_v false_a for_o without_o christ_n there_o be_v no_o pardon_n i_o may_v run_v over_o many_o absurdity_n that_o will_v follow_v in_o deny_v this_o orthodox_n point_n object_n 1_o there_o be_v one_o strong_a objection_n which_o be_v this_o answ_n 1_o do_v not_o god_n love_v a_o man_n from_o all_o eternity_n and_o do_v not_o the_o scripture_n say_v that_o we_o be_v choose_v in_o christ_n before_o the_o foundation_n of_o the_o world_n be_v lay_v now_o god_n elect_v of_o we_o or_o love_v of_o we_o be_v god_n pardon_v of_o we_o if_o god_n do_v love_v a_o man_n before_o he_o be_v bear_v then_o sure_a god_n do_v pardon_v a_o man_n from_o eternity_n to_o argue_v from_o god_n love_n to_o actual_a pardon_n be_v as_o great_a a_o absurdity_n as_o to_o argue_v that_o because_o god_n do_v purpose_n from_o all_o eternity_n to_o create_v the_o world_n therefore_o the_o world_n be_v create_v from_o eternity_n god_n decree_v to_o pardon_v from_o all_o eternity_n god_n execute_v this_o decree_n when_o thou_o be_v convert_v god_n do_v manifest_v this_o that_o he_o have_v pardon_v thou_o when_o he_o do_v give_v thou_o the_o assurance_n of_o his_o love_n antinomian_o make_v only_o the_o decree_n and_o the_o manifestation_n and_o leave_v out_o the_o execution_n of_o it_o second_o observe_v this_o that_o when_o we_o say_v that_o god_n do_v love_v a_o man_n from_o all_o eternity_n you_o must_v not_o understand_v it_o that_o it_o be_v a_o love_n in_o purpose_n and_o divine_n do_v give_v this_o solid_a and_o useful_a distinction_n in_o it_o that_o there_o be_v a_o twofold_a love_n in_o god_n there_o be_v a_o love_n of_o purpose_n and_o a_o love_n of_o complacency_n or_o delight_n the_o love_n of_o purpose_n be_v in_o god_n towards_o elect_a man_n from_o all_o eternity_n that_o be_v a_o love_n where_o god_n have_v a_o purpose_n in_o time_n to_o do_v a_o soul_n good_a but_o a_o love_n of_o complacency_n and_o delight_n in_o god_n be_v not_o in_o god_n till_o he_o be_v convert_v before_o conversion_n god_n have_v not_o a_o love_n of_o delight_n for_o there_o be_v nothing_o in_o thou_o that_o god_n shall_v take_v delight_n in_o at_o that_o time_n you_o be_v child_n of_o wrath_n god_n do_v not_o love_v a_o elect_a man_n with_o the_o love_n of_o complacency_n till_o he_o be_v convert_v until_o he_o do_v repent_v and_o believe_v object_n another_o objection_n be_v this_o do_v not_o god_n pardon_v a_o man_n before_o he_o believe_v and_o repent_v then_o what_o say_v you_o of_o young_a infant_n which_o can_v actual_o believe_v or_o repent_v you_o will_v not_o be_v so_o cruel_a to_o say_v that_o all_o infant_n go_v to_o hell_n answ_n 1_o i_o answer_v i_o be_o far_o from_o think_v that_o all_o infant_n go_v to_o hell_n faith_n i_o believe_v that_o heaven_n be_v as_o full_a of_o infant_n as_o any_o other_o rank_n of_o year_n in_o the_o world_n yet_o this_o plea_n will_v make_v nothing_o for_o those_o that_o plead_v for_o justification_n before_o repent_v and_o believe_v this_o be_v only_o speak_v of_o justificacation_n and_o salvation_n of_o infant_n without_o actual_a believe_a three_o consider_v that_o there_o be_v a_o great_a difference_n between_o the_o state_n of_o a_o infant_n and_o of_o man_n grow_v to_o year_n the_o scripture_n tell_v you_o 15._o that_o faith_n come_v by_o hear_v that_o be_v in_o man_n grow_v in_o year_n they_o must_v get_v their_o faith_n in_o a_o ordinary_a way_n by_o hear_v the_o word_n preach_v but_o this_o rule_n hold_v not_o for_o young_a infant_n because_o they_o be_v not_o capable_a of_o understanding_n they_o want_v the_o use_n of_o reason_n and_o god_n expect_v no_o more_o from_o they_o than_o he_o give_v ability_n faith_n come_v by_o hear_v faith_n the_o scripture_n but_o say_v the_o antinomian_a what_o need_v i_o hear_v what_o need_v i_o pray_v for_o a_o man_n may_v have_v pardon_n without_o all_o but_o consider_v that_o though_o child_n can_v exercise_v faith_n yet_o child_n may_v have_v habitual_a faith_n as_o divine_n say_v child_n may_v have_v grace_n seminal_o though_o they_o can_v have_v the_o exercise_n of_o grace_n thou_o can_v not_o tell_v say_v solomon_n how_o the_o bone_n of_o a_o child_n grow_v in_o the_o
