though_o god_n give_v repentance_n it_o be_v wrought_v by_o he_o in_o we_o yet_o he_o do_v it_o by_o mean_n we_o must_v not_o think_v that_o god_n will_v open_v the_o cloud_n and_o come_v down_o

a_o remedy_n and_o that_o it_o be_v not_o in_o himself_o the_o law_n prepare_v a_o man_n for_o repentance_n show_v he_o all_o his_o sin_n and_o his_o damnable_a estate_n before_o yea_o it_o terrify_v

it_o be_v the_o occasion_n of_o it_o because_o it_o help_v to_o prepare_v we_o and_o make_v we_o willing_a to_o lay_v hold_n of_o repentance_n as_o god_n work_v in_o us._n as_o a_o man_n that_o make_v choice_n of_o a_o tree_n to_o build_v with_o tree_n first_o he_o cut_v it_o down_o with_o his_o axe_n ere_o he_o lay_v it_o flat_a upon_o the_o ground_n and_o when_o he_o have_v do_v so_o than_o he_o apply_v his_o line_n and_o tool_n unto_o lop_n the_o bough_n and_o so_o hew_v it_o and_o square_n it_o to_o make_v it_o the_o fit_a for_o his_o work_n even_o so_o do_v the_o lord_n first_o he_o beat_v a_o man_n flat_o down_o with_o the_o sentence_n of_o the_o law_n and_o horror_n of_o his_o sin_n and_o then_o he_o lift_v he_o up_o and_o restore_v he_o with_o the_o promise_n of_o the_o gospel_n and_o whereas_o many_o think_v that_o it_o be_v a_o strange_a work_n of_o god_n to_o deal_v thus_o with_o a_o man_n and_o that_o when_o god_n do_v deal_v thus_o that_o man_n be_v in_o a_o woeful_a and_o lamentable_a estate_n the_o truth_n be_v that_o then_o the_o law_n from_o god_n be_v a_o fit_v and_o work_v a_o man_n to_o be_v fit_a for_o eternal_a life_n and_o thus_o though_o the_o law_n can_v bring_v a_o man_n to_o repentance_n yet_o it_o be_v a_o mean_n of_o preparation_n and_o then_o after_o this_o come_v the_o gospel_n as_o a_o powerful_a instrument_n and_o work_v faith_n and_o
