son_n of_o god_n do_v second_v he_o say_v repent_v for_o the_o kingdom_n of_o beaven_n be_v at_o hand_n repent_v and_o believe_v the_o gospel_n this_o we_o know_v be_v always_o the_o manner_n of_o the_o prophet_n before_o that_o time_n to_o call_v people_n to_o repentance_n and_o it_o be_v the_o first_o and_o chief_a point_n of_o doctrine_n which_o the_o apostle_n of_o christ_n be_v command_v by_o our_o saviour_n to_o urge_v after_o his_o resurrection_n that_o repentance_n and_o remission_n of_o sin_n shall_v be_v preach_v in_o the_o name_n of_o jesus_n begin_v at_o jerusalem_n 2._o luk._n 2._o where_o our_o prophet_n jeremie_n prophesy_v long_a time_n before_o ob._n but_o if_o jeremies_n mind_n and_o purpose_n be_v to_o exhort_v the_o jew_n unto_o repentance_n why_o do_v he_o not_o use_v plain_a word_n to_o persuade_v thereunto_o answ_n i_o answer_v that_o this_o metaphor_n of_o wash_v which_o our_o prophet_n use_v in_o this_o place_n be_v far_o more_o significant_a then_o if_o he_o have_v exhort_v to_o repentance_n in_o plain_a term_n for_o now_o in_o stead_n of_o one_o word_n which_o he_o may_v have_v use_v namely_o repent_v he_o use_v such_o word_n whereby_o they_o be_v both_o exhort_v to_o repentance_n and_o also_o teach_v how_o to_o repent_v we_o will_v therefore_o consider_v the_o word_n in_o particular_a and_o take_v they_o both_o for_o a_o exhortation_n and_o as_o a_o direction_n to_o repentance_n only_o this_o one_o thing_n i_o will_v crave_v by_o the_o way_n of_o entreaty_n that_o hereafter_o in_o all_o this_o sermon_n you_o will_v not_o take_v these_o word_n of_o our_o prophet_n any_o more_o as_o speak_v to_o the_o jew_n but_o direct_v unto_o we_o for_o whatsoever_o be_v write_v you_o know_v it_o be_v write_v for_o our_o learning_n and_o as_o jerusalem_n to_o who_o this_o be_v first_o speak_v be_v a_o type_n and_o figure_n of_o the_o church_n of_o god_n so_o do_v this_o exhortation_n wash_v thy_o heart_n from_o wickedness_n belong_v to_o all_o church_n and_o kingdom_n city_n &_o country_n nation_n and_o people_n to_o all_o i_o say_v in_o general_a and_o to_o every_o one_o in_o particular_a every_o one_o have_v need_n to_o have_v his_o heart_n wash_v and_o cleanse_v from_o wickedness_n so_o that_o now_o in_o this_o three_o circumstance_n we_o must_v speak_v of_o three_o thing_n three_o thing_n first_o of_o wash_v or_o cleanse_v second_o of_o wash_v or_o cleanse_v of_o the_o heart_n three_o of_o wash_v or_o cleanse_v the_o heart_n from_o wickedness_n and_o first_o of_o wash_v or_o cleanse_v wash_v 1._o note_v wash_v this_o metaphor_n of_o wash_v as_o it_o be_v very_o significant_a so_o it_o be_v very_o usual_a among_o the_o prophet_n the_o prophet_n esay_n when_o he_o have_v most_o sharp_o reprove_v the_o same_o nation_n of_o the_o jew_n call_v the_o prince_n thereof_o the_o prince_n of_o sodom_n and_o the_o people_n thereof_o the_o people_n of_o gomorrah_n upbraid_v they_o that_o they_o be_v a_o finnefull_a nation_n a_o people_n lade_v with_o iniquity_n and_o corrupt_a child_n tell_v they_o plain_o and_o peremptory_o that_o the_o whole_a head_n be_v sick_a and_o the_o whole_a heart_n be_v heavy_a that_o from_o the_o sole_a of_o the_o foot_n to_o the_o crown_n of_o the_o head_n there_o be_v no_o whole_a part_n but_o wound_n and_o swell_n and_o sore_n of_o sin_n full_a of_o corruption_n and_o so_o proceed_v on_o with_o such_o terrible_a menacing_n and_o threaten_n as_o though_o the_o lord_n have_v utter_o reject_v they_o and_o will_v never_o receive_v prayer_n or_o oblation_n more_o at_o their_o hand_n for_o it_o be_v a_o burden_n unto_o he_o yet_o on_o a_o sudden_a the_o prophet_n change_v his_o speech_n and_o exhort_v they_o to_o repentance_n with_o these_o like_a word_n of_o our_o text_n wash_v you_o make_v you_o clean_o take_v away_o the_o evil_a of_o your_o work_n from_o before_o my_o eye_n cease_v to_o do_v evil_a learn_v to_o do_v well_o seek_v judgement_n relieve_v the_o
