degenerate_a world_n they_o be_v for_o a_o long_a time_n weak_a and_o unexperienced_a and_o many_o of_o they_o over_o and_o above_o betray_v by_o a_o untoward_a or_o a_o careless_a education_n it_o be_v true_a not_o one_o of_o all_o these_o consideration_n will_v excuse_v the_o sinner_n and_o that_o for_o this_o plain_a reason_n because_o the_o first_o sinner_n whosever_v he_o be_v be_v suppose_v to_o be_v make_v upright_o it_o be_v not_o to_o be_v conceive_v he_o can_v have_v fall_v but_o by_o neglect_v to_o depend_v upon_o his_o maker_n and_o apply_v himself_o to_o he_o for_o a_o intellectual_a creature_n not_o to_o depend_v upon_o god_n and_o apply_v itself_o to_o he_o upon_o all_o occasion_n be_v a_o inexcusable_a fault_n and_o have_v those_o who_o first_o consent_v to_o iniquity_n do_v but_o thus_o much_o it_o be_v very_o reasonable_a to_o believe_v that_o the_o god_n who_o make_v they_o will_v have_v afford_v they_o his_o assistance_n nay_o as_o i_o hope_v to_o show_v in_o the_o progress_n of_o these_o discourse_n even_o now_o under_o all_o the_o disadvantage_n we_o be_v bear_v into_o the_o world_n and_o bring_v up_o with_o god_n have_v make_v such_o provision_n through_o jesus_n christ_n that_o nothing_o but_o a_o wilful_a and_o unaccountable_a neglect_n of_o god_n can_v ruin_v we_o here_o begin_v the_o apostasy_n and_o the_o misery_n of_o mankind_n and_o in_o the_o same_o way_n they_o be_v still_o continue_v viz._n in_o man_n neglect_v to_o depend_v upon_o and_o look_v up_o to_o that_o god_n who_o never_o forsake_v any_o of_o his_o creature_n till_o they_o first_o forsake_v he_o so_o that_o what_o i_o have_v allege_v under_o this_o last_o head_n do_v not_o excuse_v the_o sinner_n but_o yet_o which_o be_v what_o i_o allege_v it_o for_o it_o render_v his_o case_n exceed_o compassionable_a to_o a_o god_n of_o infinite_a goodness_n and_o mercy_n the_o sum_n of_o all_o i_o have_v say_v upon_o this_o argument_n be_v that_o this_o be_v a_o credible_a say_n that_o christ_n jesus_n come_v into_o the_o world_n to_o save_v sinner_n for_o if_o sinner_n be_v such_o creature_n as_o i_o have_v represent_v they_o both_z before_z and_o since_o their_o apostasy_n it_o can_v but_o be_v credible_a that_o he_o who_o make_v they_o shall_v appoint_v some_o way_n for_o their_o recovery_n and_o though_o we_o can_v not_o be_v full_o assure_v of_o this_o without_o a_o revelation_n much_o less_o can_v have_v think_v of_o the_o method_n which_o it_o have_v please_v god_n to_o take_v yet_o as_o we_o may_v natural_o hope_v that_o god_n will_v extend_v his_o compassion_n to_o we_o so_o we_o have_v all_o the_o reason_n in_o the_o world_n ready_o to_o accept_v a_o revelation_n which_o assure_v we_o that_o god_n have_v do_v it_o what_o the_o way_n and_o method_n of_o our_o salvation_n be_v our_o text_n tell_v we_o and_o this_o will_v fall_v under_o consideration_n in_o my_o follow_a discourse_n i_o be_o sensible_a there_o be_v one_o objection_n which_o upon_o hear_v the_o present_a discourse_n may_v arise_v in_o the_o mind_n of_o man_n who_o think_v serious_o and_o be_v not_o dispose_v to_o cavil_v viz._n if_o the_o case_n of_o humane_a nature_n be_v so_o deplorable_a and_o compassionable_a how_o come_v it_o to_o pass_v that_o so_o small_a a_o part_n of_o mankind_n have_v receive_v benefit_n even_o from_o the_o christian_a
