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

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

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

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

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

not_o only_o to_o take_v away_o the_o guilt_n of_o sin_n but_o also_o to_o take_v away_o the_o corruption_n of_o it_o we_o see_v when_o christ_n be_v dead_a and_o bury_v the_o jew_n jew_n roll_v a_o great_a stone_n upon_o the_o mouth_n of_o his_o grave_n and_o why_o to_o make_v he_o fast_o that_o he_o shall_v not_o rise_v now_o we_o must_v do_v with_o our_o sin_n as_o the_o jew_n do_v by_o christ_n not_o only_o bury_v they_o ourselves_o and_o make_v a_o grave_n for_o they_o but_o also_o we_o must_v roll_v a_o great_a stone_n upon_o they_o and_o seal_v they_o up_o by_o repentance_n 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 cinder_n and_o ash_n for_o fear_n of_o some_o live_a spark_n or_o dissipate_v heat_n which_o may_v lie_v hide_v therein_o so_o must_v we_o do_v by_o our_o sin_n when_o the_o devil_n have_v set_v our_o lust_n on_o fire_n it_o must_v be_v our_o wisdom_n not_o only_o to_o quench_v the_o motion_n for_o the_o present_a but_o also_o as_o it_o be_v to_o pour_v water_n on_o they_o to_o quench_v the_o ash_n 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 which_o will_v bring_v joy_n there_o be_v a_o kind_n of_o mourning_n which_o end_v in_o rejoice_v it_o be_v observe_v in_o nature_n that_o there_o be_v some_o pain_n which_o bring_v a_o man_n ease_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 bring_v health_n at_o last_o the_o pain_n also_o that_o a_o man_n feel_v in_o dress_v of_o a_o sore_n pain_n for_o there_o be_v none_o but_o i_o be_o sure_a will_v confess_v it_o put_v a_o man_n to_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 sanitatis_fw-la a_o heal_a and_o a_o healthful_a pain_n such_o a_o pain_n as_o will_v leave_v many_o joy_n and_o much_o pèace_n behind_o it_o therefore_o let_v man_n never_o be_v afraid_a to_o renew_v 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 repentance_n bring_v a_o man_n sorrow_n yet_o it_o will_v never_o leave_v he_o long_o in_o heaviness_n but_o bring_v into_o a_o sweet_a and_o comfortable_a peace_n with_o god_n and_o his_o own_o conscience_n when_o though_o weep_v and_o heaviness_n may_v be_v in_o the_o evening_n yet_o joy_n and_o cheerfulness_n come_v in_o the_o morning_n such_o mourning_n and_o confess_v ransack_v of_o the_o heart_n end_v in_o blessedness_n ever_o the_o more_o spiritual_a mourning_n the_o more_o cheerful_a holy_a rejoice_v they_o come_v from_o one_o root_n and_o fountain_n the_o other_o show_v itself_o first_o yet_o all_o be_v swallow_v up_o into_o rejoice_v at_o last_o now_o follow_v the_o iii_o case_n of_o repentance_n whether_o a_o man_n be_v bind_v and_o must_v repent_v of_o his_o sin_n 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 himself_o be_v and_o not_o only_o to_o confess_v all_o unto_o god_n alone_o which_o case_n as_o the_o law_n speak_v have_v a_o cleave_a hoof_n that_o be_v it_o part_n and_o divide_v itself_o into_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 25._o another_o the_o judge_n shall_v judge_v he_o but_o if_o a_o man_n sin_n against_o the_o lord_n who_o shall_v entreat_v for_o he_o the_o sin_n against_o god_n be_v either_o 1._o know_a sin_n 2._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 secret_a sin_n unto_o priest_n yet_o the_o scripture_n of_o god_n be_v clear_a against_o
