profaneness_n two_o way_n the_o first_o in_o that_o he_o do_v it_o without_o the_o consent_n of_o his_o parent_n yea_o so_o that_o it_o be_v a_o grief_n to_o his_o father_n the_o second_o be_v 28.8_o

the_o daughter_n of_o ishmael_n a_o man_n brand_v for_o a_o reprobate_a as_o well_o as_o himself_o this_o be_v a_o sign_n of_o profaneness_n and_o a_o sin_n that_o provoke_v the_o lord_n wrath_n against_o he_o be_v a_o sin_n that_o cause_v the_o lord_n to_o destroy_v the_o old_a world_n and_o how_o many_o profane_a parent_n have_v we_o at_o this_o day_n that_o in_o the_o match_v of_o their_o

they_o little_a regard_n of_o what_o religion_n they_o be_v oh_o lamentable_a day_n that_o after_o so_o many_o year_n of_o the_o preach_n of_o the_o gospel_n in_o our_o land_n man_n shall_v show_v

and_o accurse_v match_v and_o you_o parent_n note_v this_o from_o i_o the_o lord_n in_o your_o care_n of_o the_o match_v of_o your_o child_n show_v a_o manifest_a sign_n of_o his_o purpose_n to_o

to_o the_o dishonour_n of_o he_o the_o four_o thing_n be_v his_o delight_n in_o wicked_a company_n and_o in_o the_o society_n of_o the_o ungodly_a thing_n 4._o thing_n as_o appear_v in_o the_o book_n

i_o marvel_v how_o such_o can_v look_v to_o go_v to_o heaven_n for_o think_v they_o to_o keep_v company_n here_o with_o such_o lewd_a companion_n and_o that_o god_n will_v pester_v his_o kingdom_n

he_o may_v be_v a_o just_a dealer_n a_o ordinary_a goer_n to_o the_o church_n a_o good_a paymaster_n a_o releever_n of_o the_o poor_a a_o bountiful_a housekeeper_n yet_o in_o the_o end_n for_o all_o these_o you_o may_v go_v to_o hell_n reason_n a_o reason_n of_o this_o doctrine_n that_o hypocrite_n can_v go_v so_o far_o in_o these_o be_v because_o it_o please_v he_o very_o well_o to_o make_v a_o

3_o now_o let_v we_o see_v what_o use_n we_o be_v to_o make_v of_o this_o duty_n and_o first_o it_o teach_v we_o not_o to_o content_v ourselves_o with_o outward_a show_n nor_o inward_a motion_n unless_o they_o proceed_v from_o the_o spirit_n of_o sanctification_n and_o that_o this_o may_v be_v the_o more_o profitable_a to_o we_o i_o will_v handle_v two_o thing_n the_o first_o to_o set_v some_o difference_n between_o such_o as_o may_v have_v the_o four_o former_a gift_n yet_o not_o be_v sanctify_v unto_o they_o second_o to_o set_v down_o four_o sanctify_a grace_n which_o no_o reprobate_a can_v attain_v unto_o for_o the_o first_o 1._o you_o have_v hear_v how_o he_o may_v be_v call_v and_o what_o therein_o he_o may_v perform_v but_o here_o he_o fail_v he_o can_v yield_v willing_a obedience_n to_o all_o the_o commandment_n of_o god_n his_o call_n be_v not_o effectual_a to_o work_v in_o love_n to_o all_o a_o obedience_n to_o all_o he_o will_v dispense_v with_o some_o secondlie_o you_o hear_v how_o far_o he_o may_v go_v in_o faith_n but_o the_o elect_n go_v not_o only_o so_o far_o but_o they_o go_v further_o which_o he_o want_v and_o that_o be_v a_o assure_a persuasion_n in_o his_o heart_n that_o the_o promise_n of_o the_o gospel_n special_o do_v belong_v to_o he_o and_o that_o christ_n die_v for_o he_o and_o he_o apply_v he_o with_o all_o the_o benefit_n of_o his_o passion_n to_o he_o and_o to_o his_o salvation_n this_o be_v not_o taste_v of_o christ_n and_o his_o merit_n but_o it_o be_v feed_v on_o they_o and_o so_o be_v nourish_v to_o salvation_n three_o you_o hear_v how_o far_o they_o may_v go_v in_o repentance_n but_o they_o want_v the_o pith_n and_o the_o marrow_n of_o true_a repentance_n and_o they_o fail_v special_o in_o three_o thing_n the_o first_o be_v in_o the_o ground_n of_o true_a repentance_n the_o reprobate_a he_o ever_o look_v upon_o the_o shame_n and_o punishment_n his_o sin_n will_v bring_v he_o unto_o but_o the_o elect_v he_o look_v ever_o to_o the_o loss_n of_o god_n favour_n and_o love_n towards_o he_o the_o one_o look_n upon_o himself_o distress_v the_o other_o look_v on_o god_n offend_v the_o second_o be_v they_o fail_v in_o the_o purpose_n for_o the_o purpose_n and_o promise_v of_o amendment_n of_o the_o hypocrite_n be_v but_o in_o his_o tongue_n by_o which_o he_o will_v promise_v much_o 78.34_o psalm_n 78.34_o as_o the_o prophet_n say_v you_o say_v you_o will_v not_o transgress_v but_o yet_o you_o offer_v to_o your_o idol_n and_o grieve_v i_o with_o your_o sin_n and_o the_o like_o the_o prophet_n david_n say_v of_o the_o israelite_n in_o the_o psalm_n when_o he_o slay_v they_o they_o seek_v he_o etc._n etc._n 36._o vers_fw-la 36._o but_o it_o follow_v present_o but_o they_o flatter_v he_o with_o their_o mouth_n and_o dissemble_v with_o he_o with_o their_o tongue_n but_o the_o purpose_n of_o the_o other_o be_v not_o so_o much_o in_o his_o tongue_n as_o in_o his_o heart_n he_o do_v carry_v a_o unfeigned_a purpose_n in_o his_o heart_n to_o amend_v and_o he_o do_v endeavour_n in_o his_o life_n never_o to_o fall_v into_o the_o like_a sin_n which_o before_o he_o do_v live_v in_o the_o three_o be_v they_o fail_v in_o the_o time_n the_o time_n of_o a_o hypocrite_n be_v for_o a_o fit_a like_o a_o morning_n dew_n for_o when_o god_n remoove_v his_o punishment_n from_o they_o they_o present_o remove_v their_o repentance_n from_o he_o but_o the_o time_n of_o the_o other_o be_v daily_a and_o continue_v yea_o every_o day_n they_o make_v it_o a_o day_n of_o repentance_n and_o as_o they_o do_v renew_v their_o sin_n so_o do_v they_o renew_v their_o repentance_n four_o you_o hear_v how_o far_o the_o hypocrite_n may_v go_v in_o outward_a show_n of_o sanctity_n and_o holiness_n of_o life_n but_o the_o elect_a content_n not_o himself_o with_o outward_a show_n to_o man_n but_o labour_n and_o strive_v that_o his_o secret_a action_n may_v be_v aswell_o approve_v unto_o god_n as_o his_o outward_a action_n with_o man_n and_o thereupon_o be_v as_o fearful_a to_o commit_v sin_n in_o secret_a as_o open_o yea_o as_o fearful_a to_o commit_v sin_n in_o his_o secret_a closet_n as_o in_o the_o open_a market_n place_n now_o follow_v the_o second_o thing_n viz._n to_o set_v you_o down_o four_o principal_a sanctify_a grace_n by_o the_o which_o every_o one_o of_o we_o may_v judge_v of_o his_o estate_n to_o salvation_n the_o first_o be_v he_o will_v suffer_v no_o sin_n to_o reign_v and_o to_o domineer_v in_o he_o that_o be_v he_o will_v not_o live_v with_o delight_n and_o willing_a consent_n in_o any_o one_o sin_n whatsoever_o be_v it_o never_o so_o pleasurable_a or_o profitable_a to_o he_o and_o this_o be_v common_o in_o every_o man_n that_o be_v not_o regenerate_v they_o have_v the_o seed_n of_o god_n spirit_n in_o they_o therefore_o they_o can_v commit_v no_o such_o sin_n they_o may_v sin_v of_o ignorance_n yea_o of_o knowledge_n and_o of_o presumption_n but_o yet_o it_o shall_v have_v no_o dominion_n over_o they_o they_o lie_v not_o in_o it_o or_o delight_n in_o it_o but_o travel_n and_o take_v no_o rest_n till_o they_o be_v at_o peace_n with_o god_n in_o their_o heart_n by_o prayer_n and_o do_v not_o give_v over_o till_o they_o feel_v assurance_n of_o pardon_n the_o second_o be_v a_o holy_a combat_n and_o fight_v for_o theelect_v be_v partly_o flesh_n and_o partly_o spirit_n and_o these_o two_o be_v as_o opposite_a as_o light_v and_o darkness_n still_o strive_v and_o fight_v in_o the_o regenerate_a to_o get_v the_o victory_n i_o grant_v there_o be_v a_o kind_n of_o combat_n and_o strife_n in_o the_o unregenerat_a man_n but_o that_o be_v between_o the_o heart_n and_o conscience_n upon_o the_o commit_v some_o gross_a sin_n but_o the_o other_o be_v between_o the_o mind_n and_o the_o mind_n the_o will_n and_o the_o will_n the_o affection_n and_o the_o affection_n the_o regenerate_a part_n against_o the_o unregenerate_a part_n and_o this_o daily_a upon_o the_o temptation_n of_o any_o sin_n and_o this_o be_v perceive_v by_o their_o carriage_n both_o before_o the_o sin_n in_o the_o temptation_n of_o it_o in_o the_o act_n of_o sin_v and_o after_o the_o sin_n commit_v before_o the_o sin_n hale_v and_o pull_v to_o it_o their_o will_n partly_o unwilling_a and_o partly_o willing_a the_o mind_n partly_o set_v on_o it_o and_o partly_o set_v against_o it_o the_o affection_n partly_o like_v of_o it_o and_o partly_o hate_v it_o now_o if_o the_o unregenerate_a part_n get_v the_o victory_n and_o they_o fall_v into_o the_o act_n of_o sin_v they_o find_v a_o terror_n and_o fear_n and_o a_o very_a unwillingness_n in_o it_o so_o the_o act_n be_v commit_v as_o you_o hear_v before_o they_o hasten_v out_o of_o it_o he_o get_v he_o into_o one_o corner_n or_o other_o he_o cry_v he_o weep_v he_o sigh_v he_o groan_v that_o he_o have_v offend_v so_o love_v a_o father_n entreat_v god_n that_o he_o will_v aid_v he_o by_o his_o spirit_n so_o as_o he_o never_o fall_v into_o the_o like_a again_o the_o three_o be_v that_o upon_o any_o correct_a hand_n of_o god_n upon_o they_o and_o
