have_v vouchsafe_v to_o thou_o in_o the_o whole_a course_n of_o thy_o life_n whether_o spiritual_a or_o temporal_a and_o here_o see_v god_n mercy_n be_v like_o himself_o infinite_a it_o will_v be_v impossible_a for_o i_o to_o set_v down_o any_o definite_a number_n of_o they_o and_o therefore_o i_o shall_v leave_v it_o to_o every_o particular_a person_n to_o make_v his_o own_o collection_n and_o observation_n but_o certain_o the_o spiritual_a advantage_n will_v be_v very_o great_a to_o intermix_v the_o remembrance_n of_o god_n mercy_n with_o the_o remembrance_n of_o his_o own_o sin_n especial_o at_o such_o a_o time_n of_o humiliation_n it_o will_v conduce_v much_o to_o the_o augment_v of_o his_o sorrow_n and_o contrition_n for_o sin_n for_o when_o the_o pious_a soul_n shall_v thus_o reason_v with_o himself_o lord_n i_o have_v daily_o provoke_v thou_o to_o displeasure_n by_o my_o sinful_a and_o wicked_a life_n though_o thou_o have_v follow_v i_o day_n by_o day_n with_o thy_o mercy_n i_o have_v crucify_v my_o bless_a saviour_n afresh_o and_o put_v he_o to_o a_o open_a shame_n though_o he_o think_v it_o not_o too_o much_o to_o suffer_v such_o great_a thing_n and_o at_o last_o to_o die_v for_o i_o to_o rescue_v i_o from_o everlasting_a damnation_n i_o have_v grieve_v thy_o holy_a spirit_n by_o my_o frequent_a opposition_n of_o his_o bless_a motion_n who_o will_v have_v lead_v i_o to_o repentance_n and_o have_v often_o court_v and_o invite_v i_o to_o it_o and_o when_o i_o have_v run_v wilful_o into_o sin_n o_o what_o earnest_a solicitation_n have_v he_o make_v unto_o i_o to_o forbear_v thus_o and_o thus_o o_o lord_n have_v thou_o do_v for_o i_o but_o yet_o what_o unworthy_a return_n have_v i_o make_v for_o all_o this_o love_n of_o thou_o o_o my_o soul_n can_v thou_o think_v of_o this_o without_o remorse_n can_v thou_o forbear_v condemn_v thyself_o and_o justify_v god_n and_o to_o say_v thou_o o_o lord_n be_v righteous_a but_o i_o be_o vile_a and_o wicked_a thy_o way_n be_v upright_a and_o equal_a but_o i_o very_o crooked_a and_o unequal_a thou_o have_v not_o deal_v with_o i_o after_o my_o sin_n nor_o reward_v i_o according_a to_o my_o iniquity_n this_o be_v the_o method_n that_o god_n himself_o take_v with_o david_n to_o work_v he_o to_o a_o true_a compunction_n of_o spirit_n after_o he_o have_v be_v guilty_a of_o adultery_n and_o murder_n 2_o sam._n 12.7_o 8._o where_o you_o have_v god_n reckon_v up_o the_o mercy_n he_o have_v confer_v on_o david_n i_o anoint_v thou_o king_n over_o israel_n and_o i_o deliver_v thou_o out_o of_o the_o hand_n of_o saul_n and_o i_o give_v thou_o thy_o master_n house_n and_o thy_o master_n wife_n into_o thy_o bosom_n and_o give_v thou_o the_o house_n of_o israel_n and_o of_o judah_n and_o if_o that_o have_v be_v too_o little_a i_o will_v moreover_o have_v give_v unto_o thou_o such_o and_o such_o thing_n which_o in_o the_o 13._o v._o make_v he_o with_o sorrow_n of_o heart_n confess_v that_o he_o have_v sin_v so_o in_o deut._n 32.6_o be_v not_o he_o thy_o father_n that_o have_v buy_v thou_o have_v not_o he_o make_v thou_o and_o establish_v thou_o do_v you_o thus_o requite_v the_o
