pardon_v mercy_n hence_o observe_v question_n 1_o observation_n from_o the_o condition_n of_o the_o man_n that_o propound_v this_o question_n that_o man_n of_o the_o most_o despicable_a condition_n in_o the_o world_n may_v become_v the_o object_n of_o god_n pardon_v mercy_n salvation_n be_v not_o impail_v within_o the_o rank_n of_o the_o rich_a and_o honourable_a of_o the_o world_n but_o sometime_o man_n of_o the_o low_a rank_n become_v the_o object_n of_o god_n mercy_n pardon_v grace_n reach_v sometime_o to_o the_o vild_a and_o most_o notorious_a sinner_n in_o the_o world_n christ_n come_v not_o to_o call_v the_o righteous_a 2.17_o mark_v 2.17_o but_o sinner_n to_o repentance_n 2._o from_o the_o consideration_n of_o the_o occasion_n or_o manner_n of_o this_o jailor_n conversion_n for_o it_o be_v say_v in_o the_o night_n there_o be_v a_o great_a earthquake_n in_o the_o prison_n and_o the_o keeper_n awaken_v out_o of_o his_o sleep_n and_o when_o he_o arise_v he_o see_v all_o

and_o to_o be_v with_o christ_n which_o be_v far_o better_a for_o a_o man_n to_o desire_v to_o be_v dissolve_v that_o he_o may_v be_v without_o cross_n be_v a_o sin_n but_o to_o desire_v to_o be_v dissolve_v that_o he_o may_v enjoy_v jesus_n christ_n be_v a_o grace_n oh_o thou_o that_o say_v i_o desire_v to_o die_v that_o i_o may_v have_v the_o enjoyment_n of_o god_n more_o perfect_o and_o grace_v more_o complete_o not_o because_o thy_o wind_a sheet_n shall_v wipe_v away_o all_o tear_n and_o affliction_n but_o because_o thy_o wind_a sheet_n shall_v wipe_v away_o all_o sin_n and_o pollution_n this_o be_v a_o gracious_a desire_n we_o be_v not_o to_o wish_v for_o death_n because_o our_o comfort_n be_v lessen_v but_o that_o our_o communion_n with_o christ_n may_v be_v complete_v not_o as_o a_o door_n to_o let_v we_o out_o of_o trouble_n but_o as_o a_o door_n to_o let_v we_o into_o heavenly_a mansion_n but_o thus_o brief_o pass_v these_o thing_n i_o proceed_v to_o another_o observation_n from_o these_o word_n i_o pray_v not_o that_o you_o may_v be_v take_v out_o of_o the_o world_n why_o will_v not_o christ_n make_v this_o prayer_n the_o chief_n reason_n be_v because_o he_o have_v more_o work_n for_o his_o disciple_n to_o do_v in_o the_o world_n hence_o observe_v that_o it_o be_v not_o the_o desire_n of_o jesus_n christ_n that_o any_o of_o his_o servant_n shall_v
