until_o he_o faint_v it_o prove_v deadly_a if_o not_o stop_v and_o cure_v again_o another_o cause_n be_v hardness_n of_o heart_n which_o for_o all_o the_o regenerate_v be_v in_o part_n sanctify_a we_o

the_o four_o conclusion_n be_v conclus_fw-la 4._o that_o a_o man_n may_v true_o repent_v he_o of_o his_o sin_n though_o he_o can_v weep_v or_o shed_v a_o tear_n for_o they_o which_o i_o prove_v thus_o

for_o his_o sin_n and_o do_v thus_o and_o yet_o never_o shed_v a_o tear_n therefore_o a_o man_n may_v true_o repent_v without_o shed_v of_o tear_n for_o tear_n be_v not_o always_o a_o sign_n of_o

the_o cross_n do_v weep_v or_o shed_v any_o tear_n yet_o he_o confess_v his_o sin_n and_o be_v inward_o grieve_v for_o they_o so_o we_o see_v a_o man_n may_v true_o repent_v who_o shed_v no_o tear_n for_o as_o a_o wine_n vessel_n without_o vent_n be_v ready_a to_o burst_v so_o the_o less_o vine-vessell_n weep_v many_o time_n the_o great_a be_v the_o sorrow_n and_o the_o heart_n so_o much_o the_o

and_o great_a the_o five_o conclusion_n be_v conclus_fw-la 5._o that_o there_o be_v hardly_o any_o man_n live_v that_o have_v true_o feel_v the_o work_n of_o grace_n in_o himself_o but_o at_o one_o

shall_v see_v they_o come_v to_o tear_n and_o weep_v for_o their_o sin_n as_o a_o man_n that_o be_v strike_v sword_n with_o a_o sword_n the_o blood_n do_v not_o always_o by_o and_o by_o follow_v so_o

be_v there_o any_o man_n live_v but_o he_o have_v or_o shall_v shed_v tear_n for_o sin_n if_o god_n have_v a_o purpose_n to_o save_v he_o therefore_o howsoever_o one_o may_v go_v away_o at_o the_o first_o rejoice_v like_o lydia_n at_o her_o first_o conversion_n and_o like_o the_o eunucb_n eunuch_n in_o the_o act_n yet_o at_o one_o time_n or_o other_o they_o shall_v weep_v and_o mourn_v for_o their_o sin_n though_o i_o will_v have_v you_o remember_v that_o i_o do_v not_o exclude_v any_o from_o the_o hope_n of_o heaven_n and_o state_n of_o true_a penitency_n that_o shed_v no_o tear_n for_o sin_n for_o so_o i_o have_v show_v the_o case_n may_v be_v though_o seldom_o hear_v of_o david_n say_v psalm_n 37._o 25._o i_o have_v be_v young_a and_o now_o be_o old_a yet_o have_v i_o not_o see_v the_o righteous_a for_o saken_a nor_o their_o seed_n beg_v bread_n and_o yet_o poor_a lazarus_n die_v a_o beggar_n and_o be_v carry_v by_o the_o hand_n of_o the_o angel_n into_o abraham_n bosom_n now_o david_n meaning_n be_v not_o that_o there_o be_v none_o of_o the_o righteous_a experience_n or_o of_o their_o seed_n that_o do_v beg_v their_o bread_n but_o that_o it_o be_v a_o rare_a thing_n that_o he_o have_v not_o see_v it_o in_o his_o day_n or_o in_o a_o age_n so_o we_o may_v say_v of_o this_o point_n it_o may_v be_v a_o man_n may_v be_v true_o convert_v and_o yet_o never_o shed_v a_o tear_n in_o his_o life_n but_o it_o be_v a_o rare_a case_n no_o ordinary_a thing_n it_o be_v that_o which_o seldom_o fall_v out_o one_o of_o a_o thousand_o but_o that_o at_o one_o time_n or_o other_o they_o be_v so_o press_v with_o their_o sin_n again_o second_o i_o say_v that_o true_a tear_n be_v not_o to_o be_v command_v by_o we_o but_o be_v a_o effect_n of_o god_n grace_n wrought_v in_o man_n as_o zach._n 12._o 10._o and_o i_o will_v pour_v upon_o 10._o the_o house_n of_o david_n and_o upon_o the_o inhabitant_n of_o jerusalem_n the_o spirit_n of_o grace_n and_o supplication_n and_o they_o

his_o child_n friend_n good_n wife_n and_o such_o like_a but_o it_o be_v only_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n of_o grace_n that_o can_v make_v a_o man_n shed_v tear_n for_o his_o sin_n so_o that_o a_o

liver_n but_o if_o the_o spirit_n of_o grace_n once_o work_v upon_o his_o heart_n hardly_o but_o at_o one_o time_n or_o other_o his_o heart_n will_v melt_v and_o lament_v that_o he_o have_v offend_v god_n three_o i_o say_v if_o god_n let_v he_o live_v any_o time_n in_o this_o world_n for_o a_o man_n may_v be_v take_v away_o immediate_o upon_o his_o conversion_n as_o the_o chief_a upon_o the_o

will_v bring_v he_o back_o to_o the_o behold_v of_o his_o sin_n cause_v he_o to_o afflict_v his_o thought_n repent_v thorough_o and_o so_o work_v tear_n out_o of_o he_o yea_o bitter_o to_o bewail_v his_o sin_n
the_o unrighteous_a to_o the_o good_a and_o the_o bad_a to_o the_o pure_a and_o the_o pollute_a to_o he_o that_o sacrifice_v and_o to_o he_o that_o sacrifice_v not_o etc._n etc._n the_o meaning_n of_o which_o place_n be_v that_o all_o worldly_a thing_n fall_v alike_o to_o all_o with_o the_o same_o condition_n and_o time_n to_o the_o wicked_a as_o well_o as_o the_o good_a to_o the_o just_a as_o to_o the_o unjust_a now_o if_o all_o thing_n fall_v alike_o in_o their_o life_n then_o may_v some_o man_n say_v it_o may_v be_v also_o alike_o in_o their_o death_n and_o so_o we_o may_v not_o by_o and_o by_o condemn_v a_o man_n that_o show_v little_a comfort_n at_o his_o death_n note_n but_o if_o his_o life_n have_v be_v good_a he_o have_v walk_v in_o the_o fear_n of_o god_n show_v sign_n of_o his_o

that_o see_v his_o fellow_n sit_v upon_o a_o high_a rock_n a_o great_a rock_n way_n from_o he_o though_o he_o stir_v neither_o hand_n nor_o foot_n nor_o show_v any_o motion_n of_o life_n yet_o he_o

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

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

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

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

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

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

fine_a and_o dainty_a woman_n woman_n we_o know_v who_o have_v a_o delight_n in_o curious_a garden_n if_o they_o hear_v of_o any_o goodly_a plant_n or_o delicate_a flower_n in_o another_o body_n
