who_o he_o have_v not_o hear_v so_o that_o on_o this_o supposition_n no_o other_o than_o a_o death-repentance_n be_v possible_a to_o this_o thief_n 2._o suppose_v he_o have_v hear_v of_o christ_n and_o that_o he_o be_v inform_v by_o common_a fame_n that_o there_o be_v a_o man_n call_v jesus_n who_o have_v do_v great_a miracle_n and_o that_o several_a have_v this_o opinion_n of_o he_o that_o he_o be_v the_o messiah_n who_o god_n have_v promise_v to_o send_v into_o the_o world_n yet_o all_o this_o be_v but_o general_a and_o confuse_a knowledge_n he_o have_v indeed_o hear_v of_o christ_n and_o the_o several_a passage_n concern_v he_o but_o such_o be_v the_o course_n of_o life_n this_o thief_n be_v suppose_v to_o have_v lead_v that_o he_o have_v no_o great_a curiosity_n to_o inquire_v overstrict_o into_o such_o matter_n but_o when_o it_o so_o happen_v that_o he_o be_v apprehend_v for_o robbery_n and_o condemn_v to_o die_v at_o the_o same_o time_n with_o christ_n this_o in_o all_o probability_n make_v he_o curious_a to_o inquire_v after_o he_o and_o to_o learn_v all_o the_o circumstance_n of_o his_o apprehension_n trial_n and_o behaviour_n from_o whence_o he_o observe_v so_o much_o as_o convince_v he_o that_o he_o be_v the_o true_a messiah_n and_o so_o he_o believe_v on_o he_o and_o have_v salvation_n by_o he_o but_o what_o encouragement_n be_v this_o to_o thou_o o_o presume_v christian_n who_o be_v baptize_v into_o christ_n and_o distinct_o instruct_v in_o the_o doctrine_n of_o the_o gospel_n even_o from_o thy_o childhood_n have_v this_o thief_n as_o thou_o be_v be_v early_o admit_v into_o the_o church_n have_v he_o then_o be_v instruct_v in_o his_o duty_n and_o constant_o admonish_v to_o continue_v in_o it_o and_o if_o after_o such_o admission_n such_o instruction_n and_o exhortation_n have_v he_o still_o live_v upon_o the_o pad_n and_o spend_v his_o time_n in_o rove_a and_o rob_v in_o luxury_n and_o injustice_n and_o have_v reject_v the_o warning_n and_o admonition_n of_o his_o teacher_n have_v this_o be_v his_o case_n we_o have_v then_o the_o just_a reason_n to_o pronounce_v that_o a_o short_a ejaculation_n at_o his_o death_n will_v not_o have_v be_v accept_v and_o his_o lord_n remember_v i_o will_v have_v be_v reject_v with_o a_o depart_v from_o i_o i_o know_v thou_o not_o thou_o worker_n of_o iniquity_n but_o 3._o the_o case_n of_o this_o thief_n be_v miraculous_a and_o extraordinary_a and_o that_o whether_o we_o consider_v the_o penitent_a or_o the_o grace_n of_o god_n in_o pardon_v 1._o as_o to_o the_o thief_n probable_o he_o have_v live_v in_o great_a ignorance_n and_o never_o have_v the_o mean_n of_o grace_n till_o now_o and_o therefore_o to_o profess_v his_o faith_n in_o christ_n when_o he_o see_v he_o hang_v upon_o the_o cross_n be_v very_o signal_n and_o extraordinary_a he_o confess_v christ_n when_o his_o own_o disciple_n flee_v from_o he_o and_o when_o peter_n himself_o deny_v he_o nay_o so_o great_a be_v the_o scandal_n of_o the_o cross_n that_o all_o man_n than_o forsake_v he_o and_o lose_v their_o faith_n in_o he_o and_o have_v no_o further_a hope_n of_o help_n and_o salvation_n from_o he_o now_o to_o confess_v and_o own_v he_o at_o such_o a_o time_n as_o this_o be_v so_o please_v and_o acceptable_a to_o our_o saviour_n that_o he_o make_v he_o a_o signal_n instance_n of_o his_o grace_n and_o favour_n 2._o it_o be_v very_o agreeable_a to_o the_o divine_a wisdom_n and_o goodness_n to_o do_v something_o extraordinary_a on_o such_o a_o solemn_a occasion_n as_o this_o thereby_o to_o

you_o can_v but_o fashion_v your_o last_o breath_n into_o lord_n have_v mercy_n upon_o i_o this_o will_v prevail_v with_o god_n and_o make_v atonement_n for_o the_o long_a course_n of_o a_o wicked_a and_o sinful_a life_n what_o strange_a thought_n have_v man_n of_o god_n and_o heaven_n as_o if_o heaven_n be_v a_o hospital_n found_v on_o purpose_n to_o receive_v all_o sick_a and_o maim_a person_n that_o when_o they_o can_v live_v no_o long_o to_o the_o lust_n of_o the_o flesh_n and_o sinful_a pleasure_n of_o this_o world_n can_v but_o put_v up_o a_o cold_a and_o formal_a petition_n to_o be_v admit_v there_o no_o no_o as_o sure_a as_o god_n be_v true_a they_o shall_v never_o see_v the_o kingdom_n of_o god_n who_o instead_o of_o seek_v it_o in_o the_o first_o place_n make_v it_o their_o last_o refuge_n and_o retreat_n and_o when_o they_o find_v themselves_o under_o the_o sentence_n of_o death_n and_o damnation_n only_o to_o avoid_v present_a execution_n and_o since_o there_o be_v no_o other_o remedy_n do_v at_o last_o bethink_v themselves_o of_o get_v to_o heaven_n and_o fall_v upon_o their_o knee_n to_o petition_v the_o great_a judge_n of_o the_o world_n that_o they_o may_v be_v transport_v thither_o can_v any_o man_n in_o reason_n expect_v that_o such_o a_o petition_n will_v be_v grant_v i_o tell_v you_o nay_o but_o except_o you_o repent_v soon_o and_o at_o a_o fit_a time_n and_o after_o a_o better_a fashion_n you_o shall_v certain_o perish_v as_o much_o as_o god_n desire_v the_o salvation_n of_o man_n he_o will_v not_o prostitute_v heaven_n and_o set_v the_o gate_n of_o it_o wide_o open_a to_o those_o who_o only_o fly_v to_o it_o in_o extremity_n but_o never_o seek_v it_o in_o good_a earnest_n nor_o indeed_o do_v now_o care_v for_o it_o or_o desire_v it_o for_o any_o other_o reason_n but_o to_o excuse_v they_o from_o go_v to_o hell_n they_o have_v no_o value_n for_o heaven_n because_o they_o be_v in_o no_o wise_a fit_a for_o it_o but_o yet_o they_o think_v hell_n to_o be_v the_o worse_a place_n of_o the_o two_o i_o be_o afraid_a this_o be_v the_o true_a interpretation_n of_o many_o a_o man_n repentance_n who_o have_v defer_v it_o till_o he_o

it_o it_o be_v a_o very_a dangerous_a remedy_n for_o alas_o how_o unfit_a be_v most_o man_n at_o such_o a_o time_n for_o so_o great_a and_o serious_a a_o work_n as_o repentance_n be_v when_o they_o be_v unfit_a for_o the_o small_a matter_n and_o how_o hard_o be_v it_o for_o any_o man_n then_o to_o be_v assure_v of_o the_o truth_n and_o reality_n of_o his_o repentance_n when_o there_o be_v no_o sufficient_a opportunity_n to_o make_v trial_n of_o the_o sincerity_n of_o it_o i_o desire_v to_o have_v as_o large_a apprehension_n of_o the_o mercy_n of_o god_n as_o any_o man_n but_o withal_o i_o
