the_o truth_n of_o his_o grace_n if_o it_o beget_v indignation_n against_o sin_n that_o he_o pray_v against_o that_o first_o that_o he_o find_v sin_v more_o burden_n than_o punishment_n and_o grace_n more_o sweet_a than_o all_o temporall_n in_o the_o world_n for_o even_o wicked_a man_n will_v go_v so_o far_o as_o to_o cry_v out_o of_o judgement_n than_o ahab_n will_v humble_v himself_o o_o but_o a_o godly_a man_n a_o believe_v soul_n cry_v out_o of_o sin_n my_o punishment_n be_v great_a than_o i_o can_v bear_v that_o be_v the_o voice_n of_o caine._n my_o sin_n be_v great_a than_o i_o can_v

for_o the_o pardon_n and_o remove_n of_o sin_n because_o sin_n be_v the_o cause_n of_o punishment_n he_o that_o will_v have_v judgement_n remove_v must_v strike_v at_o the_o root_n the_o root_n be_v sin_n from_o that_o bitter_a root_n it_o be_v that_o punishment_n spring_v cut_v up_o the_o root_n and_o the_o tree_n will_v not_o stand_v long_o if_o the_o wound_n be_v once_o heal_v the_o plaster_n of_o punishment_n will_v fall_v off_o of_o itself_o if_o sin_n be_v take_v away_o by_o repentance_n and_o turn_v to_o the_o lord_n than_o there_o be_v no_o such_o antidote_n against_o the_o plague_n as_o the_o pardon_n of_o sin_n than_o whatsoever_o the_o punishment_n be_v it_o will_v drop_v off_o of_o itself_o it_o be_v not_o only_o preposterous_a but_o sacrilegious_a to_o observe_v that_o method_n when_o we_o pray_v more_o for_o the_o removal_n of_o temporal_a judgement_n then_o for_o pardon_n of_o sin_n it_o be_v a_o sign_n that_o we_o love_v our_o self_n and_o fear_v for_o our_o

more_o fear_v the_o shadow_n of_o judgement_n than_o the_o body_n of_o sin_n the_o name_n of_o punishment_n be_v more_o terrible_a a_o great_a deal_n to_o we_o then_o the_o commission_n of_o sin_n we_o tremble_v if_o we_o do_v but_o hear_v the_o report_n of_o one_o judgement_n yet_o we_o be_v not_o afraid_a to_o go_v on_o in_o a_o multitude_n of_o sin_n like_a distemper_a patient_n that_o

it_o make_v there_o be_v no_o affection_n no_o word_n no_o ejaculation_n that_o a_o godly_a man_n will_v willing_o have_v out_o of_o order_n he_o look_v to_o all_o within_o he_o he_o will_v not_o

he_o fear_v god_n and_o the_o first_o fruit_n of_o his_o sorrow_n he_o bestow_v on_o sin_n it_o be_v true_a now_o indeed_o we_o begin_v to_o be_v sensible_a of_o the_o hand_n of_o judgement_n that_o press_v we_o o_o let_v we_o remember_v that_o there_o be_v a_o great_a burden_n lie_v upon_o we_o that_o must_v be_v remove_v the_o arrow_n of_o sin_n be_v more_o sharp_a than_o the_o arrow_n of_o the_o pestilence_n and_o if_o we_o pull_v off_o the_o head_n of_o the_o arrow_n of_o sin_n the_o other_o shall_v be_v put_v up_o in_o the_o quiver_n it_o be_v true_a now_o the_o arrow_n be_v point_v near_o we_o god_n have_v his_o mark_n and_o as_o those_o that_o be_v skilful_a in_o that_o kind_n they_o shoot_v sometime_o near_o sometime_o further_o as_o jonathan_n shoot_v when_o he_o give_v warning_n to_o david_n so_o god_n shoot_v to_o give_v we_o warning_n he_o come_v near_a in_o the_o mark_n he_o propound_v he_o move_v near_o by_o parish_n and_o by_o street_n and_o then_o near_o by_o house_n punishment_n be_v near_o but_o sin_n be_v near_o we_o carry_v it_o about_o we_o we_o must_v make_v sin_n far_o off_o before_o punishment_n that_o be_v the_o order_n the_o prophet_n teach_v they_o to_o keep_v first_o to_o pray_v for_o the_o removal_n of_o sin_n and_o then_o of_o punishment_n so_o i_o have_v do_v with_o the_o petition_n take_v away_o all_o iniquity_n and_o receive_v we_o gracious_o the_o part_n and_o the_o order_n of_o the_o part_n i_o now_o come_v to_o the_o last_o part_n that_o be_v the_o promissory_a part_n of_o the_o text._n so_o will_v we_o give_v thou_o the_o calf_n of_o our_o li_n in_o the_o former_a part_n the_o prophet_n excite_v they_o to_o get_v lip_n and_o here_o to_o give_v lip_n there_o it_o be_v take_v to_o you_o word_n here_o pour_v out_o your_o word_n so_o we_o will_v give_v the_o calf_n of_o our_o li_n there_o be_v 3._o thing_n i_o will_v observe_v in_o it_o first_o the_o duty_n the_o prophet_n excite_v they_o to_o here_o that_o they_o make_v this_o vow_n and_o promise_v of_o to_o god_n it_o be_v the_o duty_n of_o praise_n and_o thankfulness_n so_o will_v we_o give_v thou_o the_o calf_n of_o our_o lip_n that_o be_v so_o will_v we_o bless_v thou_o and_o magnify_v thy_o name_n and_o sing_v to_o thy_o glory_n we_o will_v speak_v of_o thy_o praise_n all_o the_o day_n long_o second_o the_o metaphor_n under_o which_o this_o duty_n be_v convey_v we_o will_v give_v thou_o the_o calf_n of_o our_o lip_n why_o he_o use_v that_o phrase_n three_o the_o connexion_n and_o coherence_n with_o the_o former_a so_o will_v we_o give_v thou_o a_o man_n will_v think_v it_o be_v a_o ill_a condition_n and_o a_o duty_n that_o be_v misplace_v will_v they_o not_o give_v the_o calf_n of_o their_o lip_n to_o god_n except_o he_o will_v take_v away_o their_o iniquity_n and_o remove_v his_o judgement_n the_o first_o thing_n which_o i_o will_v only_o speak_v of_o now_o be_v this_o to_o find_v out_o what_o be_v the_o duty_n that_o be_v plain_a of_o itself_o to_o which_o he_o excite_v they_o in_o these_o word_n so_o i_o will_v read_v it_o thus_o in_o the_o literal_a sense_n take_v away_o iniquity_n so_o we_o will_v bless_v and_o praise_v thou_o so_o there_o be_v six_o thing_n the_o prophet_n will_v put_v they_o in_o mind_n of_o by_o add_v this_o clause_n two_o thing_n in_o general_n and_o four_o in_o particular_a all_o concern_v thankfulness_n the_o two_o thing_n in_o general_a he_o put_v they_o in_o mind_n of_o be_v these_o de_fw-fr vovendo_fw-la of_o make_v a_o vow_n and_o promise_v to_o god_n we_o will_v give_v thou_o and_o de_fw-fr solvendo_fw-la of_o pay_v that_o vow_n he_o labour_v to_o bring_v they_o not_o only_o to_o a_o acknowledgement_n of_o thankfulness_n as_o due_a but_o to_o a_o holy_a engagement_n that_o they_o will_v certain_o render_v praise_n for_o this_o mercy_n resolution_n it_o be_v one_o work_n that_o advance_v every_o duty_n every_o civil_a duty_n much_o more_o duty_n that_o be_v spiritual_a there_o be_v no_o work_n that_o a_o man_n go_v on_o cheerful_o in_o except_o he_o prepare_v and_o fit_v himself_o by_o resolution_n therefore_o it_o be_v that_o many_o saint_n of_o god_n in_o scripture_n take_v this_o course_n to_o bind_v themselves_o by_o vow_n to_o obedience_n though_o there_o be_v bond_n already_o lie_v at_o our_o door_n the_o bond_n of_o obedience_n yet_o when_o we_o vow_v as_o david_n do_v to_o walk_v holy_o before_o god_n this_o add_v another_o vow_n he_o that_o without_o vow_n transgress_v the_o commandment_n of_o god_n break_v god_n word_n but_o he_o that_o transgress_v in_o a_o vow_n break_v god_n word_n and_o his_o own_o too_o the_o word_n that_o god_n have_v give_v and_o the_o

have_v give_v he_o a_o spirit_n of_o prayer_n in_o hear_v of_o the_o word_n thankfulness_n must_v go_v up_o as_o a_o sacrifice_n that_o god_n have_v give_v we_o his_o ordinance_n if_o we_o look_v upon_o the_o sun_n upon_o our_o friend_n upon_o our_o life_n look_v any_o way_n before_o we_o behind_o we_o still_o there_o be_v occasion_n of_o thankfulness_n because_o god_n mercy_n be_v continue_v thankfulness_n must_v not_o only_o daily_a but_o hourly_o nay_o every_o minute_n it_o must_v be_v offer_v it_o have_v that_o advantage_n of_o other_o sacrifice_n we_o must_v offer_v praise_n when_o god_n preserve_v we_o and_o deliver_v we_o and_o feed_v we_o and_o keep_v we_o and_o clothes_n we_o nay_o when_o he_o correct_v we_o when_o we_o rise_v when_o we_o lie_v down_o when_o we_o eat_v when_o we_o fast_o when_o we_o go_v forth_o when_o we_o return_v in_o every_o passage_n of_o our_o life_n there_o be_v occasion_n of_o the_o sacrifice_n of_o thankfulness_n that_o as_o they_o take_v in_o the_o oblation_n of_o calf_n to_o all_o kind_n of_o sacrifice_n so_o he_o will_v have_v they_o take_v thankfulness_n in_o every_o duty_n when_o they_o profess_v to_o turn_v to_o god_n in_o repentance_n when_o they_o pray_v to_o god_n take_v away_o iniquity_n and_o we_o will_v give_v thou_o the_o calf_n of_o our_o lip_n that_o he_o may_v stir_v they_o up_o to_o offer_v the_o daily_a sacrifice_n of_o praise_n so_o david_n make_v it_o a_o daily_a and_o hourly_a sacrifice_n seven_o time_n a_o day_n i_o will_v praise_v thou_o that_o be_v often_o on_o every_o occasion_n he_o will_v excite_v they_o to_o the_o practice_n of_o this_o duty_n this_o be_v the_o three_o reason_n so_o much_o of_o the_o phrase_n both_o the_o ground_n of_o it_o and_o the_o reason_n why_o the_o prophet_n choose_v it_o but_o one_o word_n more_o brief_o and_o that_o be_v of_o the_o connexion_n and_o then_o i_o have_v do_v with_o this_o text_n and_o shall_v pick_v out_o some_o other_o suitable_a to_o the_o time_n and_o there_o lie_v a_o great_a deal_n of_o weight_n in_o the_o connexion_n weak_a understanding_n will_v be_v too_o prone_a to_o wrest_v it_o so_o will_v we_o give_v thou_o mark_v it_o take_v away_o iniquity_n and_o receive_v we_o gracious_o so_o will_v we_o give_v the_o calf_n of_o our_o lip_n that_o be_v forgive_v our_o sin_n remove_v thy_o judgement_n and_o then_o we_o will_v praise_v thou_o shall_v we_o think_v the_o prophet_n teach_v they_o to_o condition_n with_o god_n if_o thou_o will_v take_v away_o our_o punishment_n than_o we_o will_v praise_v thou_o or_o else_o not_o i_o can_v recite_v some_o such_o story_n out_o of_o the_o blindness_n of_o popery_n but_o because_o they_o be_v out_o of_o the_o legend_n i_o think_v they_o not_o worthy_a the_o rehearse_n of_o those_o that_o have_v cast_v their_o image_n into_o the_o water_n because_o they_o do_v not_o keep_v they_o from_o storm_n shall_v we_o think_v that_o they_o do_v condition_n with_o god_n no_o the_o pious_a heart_n bring_v his_o sacrifice_n in_o his_o hand_n if_o thou_o will_v save_v i_o i_o will_v bless_v thou_o if_o thou_o will_v not_o i_o will_v bless_v thou_o though_o thou_o pardon_v not_o our_o sin_n we_o will_v bless_v thou_o for_o the_o continuance_n of_o our_o life_n what_o ever_o thou_o do_v we_o will_v bless_v thou_o that_o can_v be_v the_o meaning_n of_o it_o st._n austin_n press_v it_o well_o god_n forbid_v say_v he_o that_o a_o christian_n shall_v reason_v thus_o none_o of_o you_o will_v take_v it_o well_o at_o your_o child_n or_o at_o your_o wife_n hand_n to_o adhere_v to_o you_o in_o prosperity_n and_o leave_v you_o in_o adversity_n to_o say_v i_o will_v live_v with_o you_o in_o plenty_n but_o when_o plenty_n cease_v then_o farewell_n say_v austin_n well_o look_v thou_o will_v be_v love_v of_o thy_o wife_n though_o there_o be_v no_o desert_n in_o thou_o though_o there_o be_v nothing_o to_o persuade_v she_o because_o of_o the_o conjugal_a bond_n and_o will_v thou_o love_v god_n for_o any_o thing_n out_o of_o himself_o for_o by-respect_n thou_o will_v think_v much_o if_o thy_o wife_n shall_v love_v thou_o for_o by-respect_n and_o not_o for_o thy_o self_n and_o will_v not_o thou_o do_v it_o for_o god_n it_o be_v like_o that_o phrase_n where_o jacob_n seem_v to_o stipulate_v with_o god_n in_o the_o same_o nature_n if_o god_n will_v be_v with_o i_o and_o bless_v i_o in_o my_o journey_n and_o give_v i_o bread_n to_o eat_v and_o clothes_n to_o put_v on_o that_o i_o return_v to_o my_o father_n house_n in_o peace_n than_o god_n shall_v be_v my_o god_n shall_v we_o think_v that_o jacob_n so_o humble_a a_o man_n will_v contract_v with_o god_n to_o bring_v he_o home_o in_o safety_n and_o then_o he_o will_v serve_v he_o or_o else_o not_o no_o oft_o time_n the_o hebrew_n particle_n be_v only_o a_o consequent_a not_o a_o condition_n and_o it_o be_v thus_o much_o after_z or_o when_o god_n have_v bring_v i_o home_o i_o will_v serve_v he_o more_o conscionable_o and_o devout_o i_o will_v declare_v it_o to_o all_o the_o world_n and_o set_v up_o altar_n to_o his_o praise_n than_o god_n shall_v be_v my_o god_n so_o here_o take_v away_o iniquity_n and_o receive_v we_o gracious_o when_o thou_o have_v do_v that_o than_o we_o will_v enlarge_v our_o heart_n to_o pour_v out_o the_o sacrifice_n of_o praise_n we_o will_v multiply_v thanksgiving_n we_o will_v do_v it_o now_o yet_o though_o there_o be_v cause_n now_o then_o there_o will_v be_v more_o to_o do_v it_o so_o three_o way_n it_o may_v be_v justify_v it_o have_v respect_n to_o three_o thing_n first_o as_o it_o have_v respect_n to_o that_o that_o the_o people_n do_v so_o it_o justify_v the_o connexion_n of_o the_o phrase_n they_o have_v sin_v it_o have_v respect_n to_o that_o phrase_n take_v away_o iniquity_n and_o then_o we_o shall_v have_v cause_n that_o be_v not_o all_o but_o we_o shall_v have_v boldness_n and_o encouragement_n to_o praise_v thou_o as_o if_o they_o have_v say_v as_o long_o as_o sin_n press_v we_o and_o our_o iniquity_n stand_v in_o thy_o presence_n so_o long_o we_o can_v bless_v thou_o thou_o will_v not_o accept_v the_o praise_n of_o

that_o way_n as_o it_o have_v respect_n to_o the_o work_n of_o sin_n so_o the_o point_n be_v this_o he_o that_o will_v give_v a_o true_a sacrifice_n to_o god_n must_v first_o lay_v aside_o his_o sin_n there_o be_v no_o oblation_n of_o thankfulness_n if_o sin_n be_v in_o the_o way_n praise_n be_v not_o seemly_a out_o of_o the_o mouth_n of_o a_o sinner_n that_o be_v it_o be_v not_o acceptable_a it_o
