most_o of_o all_o and_o do_v more_o deep_o touch_v he_o that_o he_o have_v give_v god_n cause_n to_o be_v angry_a with_o he_o who_o be_v so_o ready_a to_o forgive_v he_o that_o have_v show_v he_o so_o great_a kindness_n and_o mercy_n in_o the_o pardon_v and_o forgive_n of_o all_o his_o sin_n so_o god_n mercy_n to_o we_o in_o pardon_v our_o sin_n shall_v not_o be_v a_o mean_n to_o abate_v our_o

every_o day_n cast_v more_o mould_n and_o earth_n upon_o they_o that_o they_o never_o may_v rise_v against_o we_o for_o often_o repent_v of_o sin_n abate_v the_o strength_n of_o the_o corruption_n of_o sin_n in_o the_o root_n as_o a_o man_n that_o have_v his_o house_n on_o fire_n he_o will_v not_o only_o quench_v the_o fire_n for_o fire_n the_o present_a but_o pour_v water_n also_o in_o the_o

of_o sin_n object_n 2_o the_o second_o objection_n be_v that_o if_o a_o man_n be_v bind_v continual_o to_o renew_v his_o repentance_n and_o repentance_n be_v enjoin_v with_o grief_n and_o sorrow_n than_o it_o must_v needs_o follow_v that_o a_o christian_a man_n must_v never_o be_v merry_a because_o still_o the_o sense_n of_o his_o own_o sin_n will_v take_v he_o down_o and_o make_v he_o sad_a and_o deject_a answ._n i_o answer_v that_o as_o a_o man_n be_v bind_v to_o renew_v his_o repentance_n so_o be_v he_o bind_v to_o renew_v his_o faith_n too_o yea_o the_o more_o he_o renew_v his_o repentance_n the_o more_o he_o be_v bind_v to_o renew_v his_o faith_n and_o joy_n thus_o as_o a_o man_n sin_n give_v he_o cause_n to_o mourn_v so_o the_o lord_n mercy_n in_o christ_n jesus_n will_v give_v he_o grace_n to_o rejoice_v so_o that_o the_o renew_n of_o repentance_n though_o it_o bring_v a_o man_n to_o grief_n yet_o it_o will_v not_o leave_v he_o in_o sorrow_n but_o set_v he_o in_o a_o most_o full_a possession_n of_o everlasting_a comfort_n as_o david_n confess_v psal._n 126_o 5._o they_o 5._o who_o sow_n in_o tear_n shall_v reap_v in_o joy_n so_o that_o there_o be_v some_o tear_n

pain_n and_o a_o man_n can_v never_o have_v ease_n but_o by_o the_o mean_n of_o this_o pain_n as_o the_o pain_n of_o physic_n which_o do_v not_o work_v at_o first_o without_o some_o trouble_n yet_o

pain_n bring_v a_o man_n at_o last_o to_o more_o ease_n and_o refresh_n so_o that_o we_o may_v well_o say_v the_o pain_n be_v the_o cause_n of_o the_o cure_n even_o so_o the_o renew_n of_o repentance_n cause_v a_o pain_n no_o man_n can_v deny_v that_o because_o it_o be_v accompany_v with_o grief_n and_o sadness_n sorrow_n and_o tear_n but_o it_o be_v dolour_n &_o tristitia_fw-la

their_o repentance_n for_o their_o sin_n though_o they_o repent_v before_o let_v they_o upon_o every_o good_a occasion_n repent_v of_o they_o still_o because_o though_o this_o course_n of_o

and_o confess_v they_o unto_o man_n that_o be_v when_o a_o man_n have_v repent_v he_o of_o his_o sin_n unto_o god_n whether_o he_o must_v also_o repent_v of_o his_o sin_n unto_o man_n such_o as_o

two_o question_n 1._o whether_o a_o man_n be_v bind_v to_o confess_v his_o sin_n to_o man_n 2._o whether_o a_o man_n be_v bind_v to_o make_v satisfaction_n and_o restitution_n for_o the_o first_o here_o be_v two_o extremity_n to_o be_v shun_v whether_o a_o man_n be_v bind_v to_o confess_v his_o sin_n unto_o man_n first_o the_o papist_n they_o think_v that_o a_o man_n be_v bind_v to_o confess_v all_o his_o sin_n unto_o man_n that_o it_o be_v not_o enough_o to_o confess_v they_o unto_o god_n unless_o they_o also_o confess_v they_o unto_o priest_n in_o this_o they_o be_v in_o one_o extreme_a and_o in_o the_o contrary_n be_v they_o that_o think_v that_o a_o man_n must_v confess_v all_o his_o sin_n unto_o god_n only_o now_o both_o these_o extreme_n be_v erroneous_a both_o the_o papist_n who_o think_v we_o be_v bind_v to_o confess_v our_o sin_n unto_o man_n and_o some_o other_o carnal_a professor_n who_o think_v that_o we_o must_v confess_v our_o sin_n unto_o god_n only_o for_o the_o truth_n lie_v in_o the_o middle_a way_n betwixt_o both_o for_o a_o man_n be_v not_o bind_v to_o confess_v all_o his_o sin_n unto_o any_o man_n and_o yet_o some_o sin_n there_o be_v which_o must_v be_v confess_v to_o man_n as_o well_o as_o some_o other_o that_o it_o be_v enough_o if_o we_o confess_v unto_o god_n only_o now_o for_o the_o clear_n of_o this_o point_n we_o must_v remember_v that_o in_o the_o high_a court_n of_o conscience_n sin_n be_v of_o two_o sort_n 1._o sin_n against_o god_n 2._o sin_n against_o man_n as_o that_o of_o 1_o sam._n 2._o 25._o show_n if_o one_o man_n sin_n against_o

unknown_a sin_n as_o psal._n 19_o 12._o who_o can_v understand_v his_o error_n cleanse_v 12._o thou_o i_o from_o my_o secret_a sin_n now_o to_o apply_v this_o unto_o the_o point_n if_o they_o be_v secret_a sin_n against_o god_n than_o it_o be_v enough_o to_o confess_v they_o unto_o god_n only_o for_o god_n only_o be_v offend_v and_o so_o it_o be_v sufficient_a to_o confess_v they_o unto_o god_n for_o it_o be_v a_o rule_n of_o justice_n poena_n non_fw-la excedet_fw-la culpam_fw-la the_o punishment_n shall_v not_o exceed_v the_o fault_n or_o go_v no_o further_o than_o the_o trespass_n so_o then_o if_o our_o sin_n be_v against_o god_n only_o it_o be_v enough_o to_o confess_v they_o unto_o god_n and_o though_o the_o papist_n say_v no_o hope_n of_o pardon_n unless_o we_o confess_v our_o

for_o all_o this_o chap._n 26._o we_o see_v he_o persecute_v he_o again_o even_o against_o his_o own_o conscience_n so_o we_o see_v he_o weep_v for_o his_o sin_n and_o yet_o never_o repent_v he_o

clear_a that_o tear_n be_v not_o always_o a_o true_a sign_n of_o true_a repentance_n for_o the_o most_o part_n all_o the_o religion_n of_o the_o world_n be_v this_o that_o if_o a_o man_n can_v bring_v himself_o so_o far_o not_o only_o to_o be_v touch_v for_o sin_n but_o also_o to_o weep_v for_o it_o to_o shed_v a_o few_o tear_n by_o and_o by_o they_o think_v themselves_o to_o be_v safe_a yea_o though_o they_o live_v loose_o and_o profane_o after_o but_o this_o be_v to_o build_v up_o their_o comfort_n upon_o a_o safe_a ground_n because_o as_o we_o have_v hear_v a_o man_n may_v shed_v tear_n for_o sin_n and_o yet_o not_o repent_v it_o so_o that_o tear_n be_v not_o always_o the_o true_a companion_n of_o true_a repentance_n object_n but_o here_o it_o may_v be_v that_o some_o who_o be_v

always_o a_o true_a sign_n of_o repentance_n answ._n i_o answer_v for_o all_o this_o that_o there_o be_v two_o way_n whereby_o a_o christian_a may_v find_v comfort_n in_o his_o tear_n 1._o he_o must_v

whether_o it_o be_v for_o fear_n of_o damnation_n and_o of_o hell_n torment_v he_o weep_v or_o not_o for_o these_o may_v make_v a_o wicked_a man_n much_o to_o be_v astonish_v for_o the_o time_n and_o

of_o their_o sin_n and_o do_v weep_v before_o the_o lord_n but_o the_o cause_n be_v the_o judgement_n and_o scourge_n of_o god_n upon_o they_o be_v chafe_v by_o the_o amorites_n deut._n 1_o 45._o so_o that_o a_o man_n may_v weep_v to_o 45._o no_o purpose_n for_o the_o judgement_n and_o punishment_n that_o follow_v sin_n but_o when_o a_o man_n can_v weep_v for_o sin_n because_o it_o be_v sin_n

life_n of_o god_n and_o grace_n and_o no_o body_n since_o can_v take_v it_o from_o he_o it_o can_v be_v we_o may_v conclude_v but_o that_o it_o remain_v still_o with_o he_o as_o 1._o john_n 3._o 9_o it_o be_v say_v whosoever_o be_v bear_v of_o god_n 9_o do_v not_o commit_v sin_n for_o his_o seed_n remain_v in_o he_o neither_o can_v he_o sin_v because_o he_o be_v bear_v of_o god_n the_o godly_a in_o this_o case_n be_v say_v not_o to_o sin_n because_o they_o be_v preserve_v from_o sin_v total_o or_o final_o a_o holy_a seed_n remain_v in_o they_o which_o break_v forth_o into_o repentance_n for_o all_o and_o 1._o the_o least_o sin_n and_o because_o the_o lord_n impute_v not_o their_o sin_n unto_o they_o so_o as_o they_o shall_v do_v nothing_o which_o shall_v impeach_v their_o salvation_n so_o that_o if_o a_o man_n have_v live_v well_o we_o have_v see_v the_o effect_n of_o god_n holy_a spirit_n in_o he_o we_o be_v not_o by_o and_o by_o to_o condemn_v he_o though_o he_o express_v and_o feel_v small_a or_o no_o comfort_n when_o he_o come_v to_o die_v comfort_n now_o there_o be_v three_o cause_n why_o the_o people_n of_o god_n or_o a_o particular_a christian_a may_v die_v with_o little_a or_o no_o comfort_n feel_v of_o god_n favour_n and_o yet_o have_v true_o repent_v 1._o the_o cause_n may_v be_v in_o nature_n and_o then_o it_o be_v either_o by_o reason_n of_o 1._o the_o complexion_n or_o 2._o by_o reason_n of_o the_o extremity_n of_o the_o disease_n 2._o for_o neglect_v of_o grace_n 3._o because_o of_o their_o indisposition_n at_o the_o time_n of_o death_n death_n these_o be_v the_o three_o cause_n why_o many_o of_o god_n people_n find_v little_a comfort_n in_o the_o hour_n of_o death_n first_o by_o reason_n of_o their_o complexion_n for_o grace_n do_v never_o abolish_v nature_n but_o only_a temper_n and_o mortify_v it_o indeed_o the_o nature_n of_o grace_n be_v to_o abolish_v sinful_a affection_n in_o man_n but_o natural_a affection_n it_o abolish_v not_o only_a order_n and_o keep_v they_o within_o bound_n and_o measure_n as_o we_o see_v in_o the_o two_o cow_n who_o carry_v the_o ark_n there_o be_v a_o natural_a affection_n ark_n in_o they_o which_o make_v they_o low_a as_o they_o go_v 1._o sam._n 16._o 12._o and_o there_o be_v also_o a_o power_n of_o god_n see_v overmaster_v nature_n which_o make_v they_o carry_v the_o ark_n unto_o the_o place_n which_o god_n have_v appoint_v thus_o grace_v order_n only_o but_o destroy_v not_o nature_n it_o qualify_v and_o direct_v it_o make_v it_o a_o servant_n in_o all_o thing_n so_o observe_v of_o what_o constitution_n a_o man_n be_v before_o regeneration_n and_o you_o shall_v find_v he_o of_o the_o same_o after_o conversion_n if_o melancholy_n before_o he_o will_v be_v melancholy_n after_o if_o choleric_a the_o same_o after_o hence_o it_o be_v that_o the_o very_o best_a man_n may_v show_v a_o great_a deal_n of_o difference_n betwixt_o what_o they_o be_v in_o life_n and_o in_o the_o time_n of_o death_n for_o if_o a_o man_n be_v choleric_a by_o nature_n if_o former_o he_o have_v be_v hasty_a and_o rash_a this_o man_n though_o a_o sanctify_a man_n and_o the_o dear_a child_n of_o god_n may_v yet_o unless_o a_o great_a deal_n of_o grace_n with_o strength_n of_o judgement_n overmaster_v nature_n show_v much_o impatiency_n touchinesse_n way_n wardness_n when_o he_o come_v to_o die_v so_o if_o a_o man_n have_v be_v of_o a_o melancholy_n disposition_n of_o a_o sad_a speech_n or_o few_o word_n in_o his_o life_n though_o excellent_a in_o grace_n this_o man_n if_o not_o overmaster_v by_o grace_n for_o his_o life_n be_v not_o able_a to_o show_v himself_o cheerful_a and_o comfortable_a when_o he_o come_v to_o die_v on_o the_o other_o side_n if_o a_o man_n be_v of_o a_o sanguine_a complexion_n and_o so_o by_o consequence_n light_a and_o merry_a this_o man_n although_o he_o have_v be_v a_o vild_a and_o a_o loose_a liver_n yet_o he_o may_v show_v himself_o comfortable_a at_o the_o day_n of_o death_n when_o yet_o this_o comfort_n may_v be_v not_o a_o work_n of_o grace_n but_o of_o mere_a nature_n thus_o when_o we_o see_v a_o man_n distrust_v himself_o in_o the_o day_n of_o death_n we_o may_v set_v ourselves_o from_o his_o own_o disposition_n to_o comfort_v he_o for_o in_o some_o complexion_n one_o may_v come_v to_o die_v comfortable_o though_o one_o want_v grace_n and_o in_o some_o there_o may_v be_v a_o lumpishness_n and_o discomfort_n and_o yet_o have_v a_o warrantable_a end_n therefore_o if_o we_o will_v judge_v right_o of_o any_o at_o the_o day_n of_o death_n we_o must_v consider_v of_o what_o complexion_n they_o be_v and_o so_o deal_v judicious_o with_o our_o comfort_n and_o threaten_n as_o if_o we_o pour_v a_o glass_n of_o wine_n among_o wine_n wine_n
