to_o be_v beget_v again_o to_o a_o lively_a hope_n of_o a_o inheritance_n incorruptible_a etc._n etc._n there_o be_v therefore_o not_o mere_o a_o possibility_n of_o be_v save_v but_o a_o just_a and_o ground_a hope_n if_o we_o renounce_v our_o former_a sin_n and_o become_v righteous_a according_a to_o the_o term_n of_o the_o gospel_n i._n e._n if_o we_o sincere_o repent_v of_o our_o sin_n and_o turn_v from_o they_o and_o live_v the_o rest_n of_o our_o time_n not_o to_o the_o lust_n of_o man_n 2._o but_o to_o the_o will_n of_o god._n but_o if_o god_n have_v declare_v that_o he_o expect_v from_o mankind_n a_o entire_a and_o perfect_a righteousness_n without_o any_o sin_n it_o be_v all_o one_o as_o to_o publish_v a_o general_a and_o irreversible_a decree_n of_o damnation_n to_o all_o 23._o for_o all_o have_v sin_v and_o come_v short_a of_o the_o glory_n of_o god._n from_o whence_o the_o apostle_n well_o argue_v that_o man_n can_v save_v themselves_o but_o god_n of_o his_o infinite_a pity_n and_o mercy_n towards_o the_o deplorable_a condition_n of_o mankind_n have_v find_v out_o a_o way_n to_o save_v they_o by_o the_o redemption_n which_o be_v in_o christ_n jesus_n who_o he_o have_v make_v a_o propitiation_n for_o their_o sin_n although_o therefore_o as_o to_o ourselves_o we_o have_v no_o hope_n yet_o herein_o god_n have_v magnify_v his_o abundant_a love_n towards_o sinner_n that_o although_o they_o have_v sin_v to_o a_o high_a degree_n yet_o if_o they_o be_v so_o far_o weary_v with_o the_o burden_n of_o their_o sin_n as_o to_o take_v christ_n yoke_n upon_o they_o than_o he_o have_v promise_v ease_n and_o rest_v to_o their_o soul_n which_o be_v the_o great_a blessing_n in_o the_o world_n especial_o to_o repent_v sinner_n but_o some_o may_v again_o say_v we_o have_v repent_v and_o sin_v and_o sin_v and_o repent_v again_o and_o can_v hardly_o yet_o tell_v which_o will_v get_v the_o better_a at_o last_o we_o can_v say_v that_o we_o have_v entire_o submit_v our_o neck_n to_o christ_n yoke_n for_o that_o require_v a_o great_a deal_n more_o than_o we_o can_v perform_v how_o then_o can_v we_o be_v think_v righteous_a i_o answer_v therefore_o 2._o where_o there_o be_v a_o sincere_a and_o honest_a endeavour_n to_o please_v god_n and_o keep_v his_o commandment_n although_o person_n fail_v in_o the_o manner_n of_o do_v it_o god_n will_v accept_v of_o such_o as_o righteous_a but_o where_o they_o please_v themselves_o in_o their_o unrighteousness_n and_o go_v on_o in_o it_o hope_v that_o god_n will_v accept_v some_o kind_n of_o repentance_n
