well_o hope_v to_o speed_v with_o repentance_n at_o the_o last_o be_v vain_a now_o that_o this_o his_o repentance_n be_v extraordinary_a i_o prove_v it_o by_o five_o argument_n first_o because_o it_o

the_o hard_a rock_n cleave_v to_o convince_v the_o hardness_n of_o those_o that_o do_v not_o rend_v their_o heart_n the_o four_o wonder_n be_v in_o the_o earth_n mat._n 27._o 31._o the_o earth_n do_v

he_o be_v convert_v to_o day_n shall_v thou_o be_v with_o i_o in_o paradise_n thus_o you_o see_v that_o christ_n passion_n be_v full_a of_o wonder_n so_o that_o there_o be_v no_o ground_n for_o a_o

repentance_n be_v extraordinary_a and_o one_o of_o the_o wonder_n of_o christ_n passion_n second_o that_o this_o repentance_n be_v extraordinary_a it_o may_v appear_v by_o the_o number_n for_o of_o

all_o we_o know_v now_o what_o poor_a ground_n be_v this_o for_o a_o man_n to_o defer_v his_o repentance_n think_v to_o repent_v at_o the_o last_o hour_n when_o among_o so_o many_o million_o of_o

the_o work_n of_o grace_n ordinary_o take_v up_o the_o whole_a time_n of_o life_n and_o will_v require_v as_o many_o day_n as_o a_o man_n live_v this_o be_v a_o great_a work_n and_o it_o can_v be_v
