god_n have_v pardon_v the_o sin_n of_o my_o youth_n and_o all_o my_o ancient_a sin_n but_o fall_v into_o sin_n again_o i_o be_o afraid_a all_o be_v undo_v all_o that_o god_n have_v do_v unto_o i_o

it_o do_v yet_o if_o ever_o you_o have_v be_v assure_v of_o the_o pardon_n of_o of_o your_o sin_n know_v this_o mercy_n shall_v never_o be_v recall_v again_o the_o foundation_n of_o god_n stand_v sure_a and_o this_o be_v a_o fundamental_a mercy_n that_o always_o abide_v therefore_o as_o we_o observe_v in_o cant._n 4.7_o christ_n say_v thou_o be_v all_o fair_a my_o love_n there_o be_v no_o

will_v with_o she_o man_n may_v impose_v what_o they_o will_v upon_o she_o put_v she_o in_o what_o posture_n they_o please_v and_o yet_o she_o be_v unsensible_a but_o yet_o in_o this_o condition_n her_o heart_n be_v awake_a i_o sleep_v but_o my_o heart_n wake_v there_o remain_v a_o principle_n of_o grace_n alive_a in_o she_o but_o mark_v what_o christ_n say_v though_o she_o confess_v she_o be_v asleep_a yet_o christ_n say_v open_v to_o i_o my_o sister_n my_o love_n my_o dove_n my_o undefiled_a this_o be_v speak_v when_o the_o church_n be_v in_o a_o secure_a sinful_a condition_n yet_o this_o be_v the_o voice_n of_o christ_n call_v the_o church_n his_o sister_n his_o love_n his_o dove_n his_o undefiled_a one_o when_o she_o be_v in_o that_o secure_a condition_n which_o show_v the_o grace_n of_o god_n in_o pardon_v sin_n be_v not_o call_v back_o again_o and_o because_o this_o be_v a_o point_n wherein_o much_o treasure_n lie_v i_o shall_v a_o little_a open_a the_o irrevocableness_n of_o god_n mercy_n in_o his_o pardon_v and_o justify_v grace_n and_o for_o this_o i_o shall_v give_v you_o some_o place_n of_o scripture_n which_o be_v open_v as_o they_o will_v show_v the_o greatness_n of_o the_o mercy_n so_o they_o will_v afford_v abundant_a matter_n of_o consolation_n and_o encouragement_n to_o every_o believe_a soul_n the_o first_o scripture_n expression_n i_o shall_v name_n be_v in_o isai_n 43.25_o where_o the_o lord_n tell_v his_o people_n that_o he_o blot_v out_o their_o transgression_n god_n seem_v to_o take_v much_o delight_n in_o this_o phrase_n and_o therefore_o double_v it_o i_o even_o i_o be_o he_o that_o blot_v out_o thy_o transgression_n for_o my_o own_o sake_n and_o will_v not_o remember_v thy_o sin_n now_o this_o phrase_n of_o blot_v out_o be_v take_v from_o the_o custom_n of_o tradesman_n that_o have_v their_o book_n of_o account_n wherein_o they_o enter_v all_o their_o debt_n that_o be_v owe_v to_o they_o by_o such_o and_o such_o man_n now_o when_o these_o come_v to_o be_v pay_v the_o debt-book_n be_v cross_v or_o blot_v out_o if_o any_o of_o you_o owe_v a_o debt_n when_o you_o come_v to_o pay_v it_o you_o call_v for_o the_o debt-book_n to_o see_v it_o cross_v or_o blot_v out_o and_o then_o you_o assure_v yourselves_o you_o shall_v never_o hear_v of_o it_o more_o now_o you_o must_v know_v that_o all_o sinner_n be_v debtor_n to_o the_o lord_n they_o be_v in_o a_o debt_n of_o punishment_n for_o want_n or_o fail_v in_o pay_v he_o a_o debt_n of_o obedience_n many_o man_n by_o their_o sin_n run_v into_o debt_n with_o god_n daily_o and_o because_o god_n do_v not_o call_v for_o the_o debt_n present_o they_o think_v there_o be_v nothing_o between_o god_n and_o they_o but_o carry_v it_o as_o if_o all_o be_v well_o as_o many_o gallant_n run_v into_o tradesmen_n debt_n to_o hang_v fine_a clothes_n upon_o their_o back_n and_o ruffle_v it_o up_o and_o down_o in_o the_o world_n and_o never_o think_v of_o their_o debt_n till_o their_o creditor_n come_v and_o arrest_v they_o and_o cast_v they_o into_o goal_n and_o there_o they_o lie_v in_o prison_n for_o all_o their_o ruffle_n it_o up_o and_o down_o in_o the_o world_n just_o so_o man_n and_o woman_n by_o their_o sin_n run_v into_o debt_n with_o god_n and_o though_o god_n do_v not_o call_v for_o the_o debt_n present_o yet_o they_o be_v record_v in_o heaven_n it_o be_v as_o certain_a that_o every_o sin_n of_o any_o man_n or_o woman_n be_v set_v down_o in_o god_n debt-book_n as_o any_o debt_n you_o owe_v be_v set_v down_o in_o your_o creditor_n book_n and_o as_o certain_o must_v your_o debt_n be_v call_v for_o and_o satisfaction_n and_o payment_n make_v unto_o god_n for_o they_o as_o certain_a as_o any_o tradesman_n will_v call_v for_o payment_n of_o his_o debt_n now_o this_o be_v the_o work_n of_o justification_n between_o god_n and_o your_o soul_n if_o you_o will_v know_v the_o nature_n of_o it_o when_o jesus_n christ_n see_v a_o poor_a soul_n that_o god_n the_o father_n have_v give_v to_o he_o to_o save_v thus_o run_v into_o debt_n christ_n come_v and_o lay_v down_o a_o price_n before_o god_n the_o father_n to_o pay_v this_o debt_n and_o christ_n see_v that_o the_o debt_n be_v blot_v out_o of_o the_o book_n now_o when_o god_n come_v with_o pardon_v mercy_n to_o a_o soul_n god_n show_v the_o debt_n book_n to_o a_o believer_n and_o cause_v he_o to_o see_v all_o his_o debt_n blot_v out_o and_o by_o that_o he_o certain_o assure_v the_o soul_n his_o debt_n shall_v never_o be_v call_v for_o again_o this_o be_v such_o a_o mercy_n as_o be_v irrevocable_a it_o shall_v not_o be_v bring_v back_o again_o the_o debt_n be_v once_o pay_v shall_v never_o more_o be_v call_v for_o this_o be_v the_o first_o expression_n and_o it_o be_v a_o bless_a one_o many_o man_n that_o be_v run_v into_o debt_n and_o be_v in_o danger_n every_o hour_n to_o have_v some_o bailiff_n arrest_v they_o they_o can_v look_v out_o of_o their_o door_n but_o they_o be_v ready_a to_o fall_v upon_o they_o they_o will_v think_v themselves_o happy_a if_o they_o may_v have_v any_o that_o will_v come_v and_o lay_v down_o all_o and_o satisfy_v the_o debt_n and_o that_o they_o may_v see_v the_o debt_n blot_v out_o they_o will_v think_v themselves_o happy_a indeed_o well_o know_v that_o it_o be_v so_o with_o god_n when_o he_o come_v to_o pardon_v sin_n the_o debt-book_n be_v blot_v out_o and_o all_o bond_n cancel_v second_o though_o they_o be_v blot_v out_o yet_o they_o may_v be_v before_o god_n face_n and_o god_n may_v see_v they_o though_o he_o will_v not_o call_v for_o they_o again_o therefore_o the_o scripture_n tell_v we_o that_o god_n will_v take_v that_o course_n with_o the_o sin_n of_o believer_n as_o that_o he_o will_v cast_v they_o behind_o his_o back_n and_o never_o so_o much_o as_o lay_v the_o debt_n before_o his_o face_n to_o look_v upon_o they_o isai_n 38.17_o thou_o have_v cast_v all_o my_o sin_n behind_o thy_o back_n that_o which_o hezekiah_n speak_v of_o himself_o be_v true_a of_o every_o believe_a soul_n god_n cast_v the_o sin_n of_o every_o believer_n behind_o his_o back_n when_o a_o man_n cast_v a_o thing_n behind_o his_o back_n he_o do_v it_o to_o that_o end_n that_o he_o may_v take_v no_o far_o notice_n of_o it_o but_o though_o god_n cast_v a_o man_n sin_n behind_o his_o back_n yet_o if_o they_o be_v not_o very_o far_o he_o may_v easy_o turn_v his_o face_n and_o look_v upon_o they_o when_o he_o will_v therefore_o mark_v further_o three_o another_o scripture_n expression_n psal_n 103.10_o as_o far_o as_o the_o east_n be_v from_o the_o west_n so_o far_o have_v he_o remove_v our_o transgression_n from_o we_o thus_o god_n express_v himself_o to_o satisfy_v the_o soul_n of_o his_o people_n that_o their_o sin_n shall_v never_o be_v call_v for_o again_o the_o east_n and_o west_n it_o be_v a_o expression_n to_o note_v out_o the_o utmost_a distance_n the_o east_n and_o west_n be_v so_o remote_a that_o those_o two_o point_n can_v never_o come_v together_o so_o the_o sin_n that_o god_n have_v pardon_v to_o any_o soul_n they_o shall_v never_o be_v call_v for_o again_o four_o though_o they_o be_v remove_v as_o far_o as_o the_o east_n be_v from_o the_o west_n yet_o god_n eye_n may_v look_v a_o great_a way_n off_o though_o those_o point_n be_v at_o so_o great_a a_o distance_n to_o our_o eye_n yet_o not_o so_o to_o the_o eye_n of_o god_n therefore_o there_o be_v another_o expression_n that_o may_v make_v it_o more_o full_a that_o god_n will_v never_o look_v upon_o their_o sin_n again_o that_o he_o have_v once_o pardon_v he_o blot_v they_o out_o he_o cast_v they_o behind_o his_o back_n
