humble_v himself_o for_o speak_v too_o bold_o of_o the_o mystery_n of_o god_n providence_n be_v say_v to_o have_v repent_v in_o sackcloth_n and_o ash_n to_o this_o also_o they_o join_v fast_v acknowledge_v that_o by_o reason_n of_o their_o sin_n they_o be_v not_o worthy_a to_o eat_v and_o so_o not_o to_o live_v and_o when_o they_o do_v so_o be_v say_v to_o afflict_v their_o soul_n for_o true_a penitent_n have_v as_o the_o apostle_n observe_v in_o the_o corinthian_n indignation_n against_o their_o sin_n and_o revenge_n upon_o themselves_o for_o commit_v they_o to_o these_o also_o in_o their_o penance_n they_o add_v expiatory_a offering_n confess_v when_o they_o kill_v the_o sacrifice_n they_o themselves_o deserve_v to_o die_v more_o than_o the_o lamb_n or_o goat_n do_v quae_fw-la i_o non_fw-la dignior_fw-la hostia_fw-la vitâ_fw-la est_fw-la there_o be_v nothing_o so_o bad_a but_o it_o deserve_v to_o live_v rather_o than_o i_o the_o sinner_n who_o offer_v it_o they_o see_v the_o vileness_n and_o danger_n of_o sin_n and_o therefore_o cry_v out_o man_n and_o brethren_n what_o shall_v we_o do_v to_o be_v save_v or_o as_o they_o in_o micah_n o_o that_o i_o have_v any_o 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d any_o thing_n to_o give_v in_o exchange_n for_o my_o soul_n to_o my_o offend_a god_n thousand_o of_o ram_n or_o ten_o thousand_o river_n of_o oil_n by_o these_o expression_n we_o may_v perceive_v what_o a_o deep_a sense_n they_o have_v of_o the_o baseness_n of_o sin_n and_o how_o true_o they_o be_v grieve_v that_o by_o it_o they_o have_v offend_v god_n to_o this_o i_o need_v add_v no_o more_o but_o the_o practice_n of_o the_o primitive_a church_n to_o show_v what_o a_o mighty_a sorrow_n the_o penitent_n of_o those_o day_n think_v necessary_a to_o their_o repentance_n it_o be_v enough_o to_o amaze_v careless_a soul_n to_o read_v it_o as_o it_o be_v describe_v by_o tertullian_n paenitentia_fw-la and_o st._n gregory_n nazianzen_n poenitentia_fw-la penitent_n lay_v prostrate_a at_o the_o church_n door_n in_o sackcloth_n and_o ash_n and_o horror_n entreat_v the_o whole_a fraternity_n beg_v the_o prayer_n of_o presbyter_n and_o widow_n take_v hold_n of_o the_o garment_n and_o knee_n of_o such_o as_o enter_v into_o the_o church_n kiss_v their_o footstep_n as_o well_o as_o the_o chain_n of_o martyr_n in_o prison_n with_o bare_a knee_n and_o wet_a eye_n beseech_v their_o prayer_n for_o their_o pardon_n and_o though_o the_o bad_a sinner_n of_o our_o time_n possible_o think_v they_o foolish_a in_o so_o great_a expression_n of_o sorrow_n yet_o i_o doubt_v when_o thing_n come_v to_o be_v determine_v before_o the_o great_a tribunal_n of_o christ_n that_o they_o will_v be_v judge_v sottish_a for_o their_o vain_a censure_n and_o that_o want_v of_o great_a grief_n for_o their_o sin_n will_v not_o then_o be_v esteem_v courage_n but_o searedness_n of_o conscience_n he_o be_v most_o miserable_a who_o sin_n and_o repent_v not_o and_o his_o sorrow_n will_v do_v he_o little_a good_a which_o do_v not_o wound_v sin_n to_o the_o heart_n which_o do_v not_o smite_v through_o and_o cut_v in_o piece_n the_o root_n of_o disobedience_n which_o be_v deep_o plant_v in_o a_o hard_a heart_n 2._o we_o be_v also_o to_o join_v shame_n with_o our_o sorrow_n shame_n be_v the_o proper_a attendant_n of_o sin_n as_o we_o may_v see_v in_o our_o first_o parent_n who_o be_v so_o ashamed_a of_o themselves_o after_o they_o have_v sin_v that_o they_o seek_v as_o well_o as_o they_o can_v to_o hide_v themselves_o from_o the_o face_n of_o god_n not_o only_o for_o fear_n of_o be_v punish_v by_o he_o but_o be_v ashamed_a of_o themselves_o that_o for_o do_v unworthy_o they_o have_v deserve_v it_o there_o be_v great_a reason_n we_o shall_v entertain_v this_o passion_n of_o soul._n the_o penitent_a sinner_n will_v find_v thing_n enough_o to_o be_v ashamed_a of_o if_o he_o consider_v what_o be_v they_o five_o 1._o his_o impudence_n that_o he_o dare_v sin_n against_o god_n therefore_o ezra_n in_o his_o penitent_a confession_n of_o the_o great_a sin_n which_o he_o then_o lament_v say_v 6._o o_o my_o god_n i_o be_o ashamed_a to_o look_v up_o and_o blush_v to_o lift_v up_o my_o face_n to_o thou_o for_o our_o iniquity_n be_v increase_v and_o our_o sin_n be_v grow_v up_o to_o heaven_n 15._o we_o be_v in_o our_o trespass_n and_o can_v stand_v before_o thou_o because_o of_o they_o he_o be_v so_o ashamed_a that_o he_o say_v 10._o and_o now_o o_o our_o god_n what_o shall_v we_o say_v for_o we_o have_v forsake_v thy_o commandment_n so_o the_o penitent_a in_o jeremiah_n 19_o when_o i_o repent_v i_o be_v ashamed_a and_o the_o convert_v who_o st._n paul_n mention_n be_v ashamed_a to_o think_v of_o their_o former_a practice_n what_o fruit_n have_v you_o in_o those_o thing_n whereof_o you_o be_v now_o ashamed_a 21._o there_o be_v great_a reason_n for_o this_o for_o man_n be_v ashamed_a when_o they_o do_v any_o thing_n that_o be_v unbecoming_a they_o it_o be_v a_o base_a thing_n for_o a_o man_n to_o do_v that_o which_o be_v unworthy_a of_o what_o he_o be_v or_o profess_v himself_o to_o be_v sin_n be_v the_o most_o unbecoming_a thing_n in_o the_o world_n contrary_a to_o our_o nature_n unworthy_a of_o a_o reasonable_a creature_n absurd_a in_o regard_n of_o our_o state_n in_o be_v do_v debase_v and_o degrade_v the_o person_n that_o commit_v it_o therefore_o when_o aaron_n have_v consent_v to_o idolatry_n with_o the_o people_n it_o be_v say_v they_o make_v he_o naked_a to_o his_o shame_n what_o a_o high_a priest_n and_o worship_n a_o calf_n a_o creature_n and_o disobedient_a to_o he_o that_o make_v it_o it_o be_v say_v of_o the_o jew_n when_o convert_v that_o they_o shall_v loathe_v themselves_o for_o all_o their_o abomination_n nothing_o can_v make_v we_o so_o vile_a as_o sin_v against_o god_n he_o which_o consent_v to_o sin_n disrobe_v himself_o of_o the_o dignity_n of_o his_o nature_n innocence_n and_o when_o man_n come_v to_o that_o impudence_n that_o they_o be_v not_o ashamed_a of_o sin_n it_o be_v note_v in_o scripture_n as_o the_o height_n of_o all_o villainy_n and_o be_v a_o state_n near_o to_o utter_v ruin_n man_n may_v grow_v so_o base_a as_o to_o glory_v in_o their_o shame_n i._n e._n in_o such_o thing_n of_o which_o they_o ought_v to_o be_v ashamed_a as_o the_o apostle_n tell_v we_o and_o make_v no_o matter_n of_o it_o so_o the_o prophet_n jeremiah_n of_o those_o in_o his_o time_n 15._o be_v they_o ashamed_a when_o they_o have_v commit_v abomination_n no_o they_o be_v not_o ashamed_a 3._o neither_o can_v they_o blush_v no_o but_o as_o in_o another_o place_n they_o have_v a_o whore_n forehead_n make_v their_o face_n hard_a than_o a_o rock_n but_o their_o ruin_n follow_v at_o their_o heel_n and_o overtake_v they_o all_o except_o some_o few_o who_o repent_v share_v another_o temper_n and_o say_v we_o lie_v down_o in_o shame_n 25._o and_o our_o confusion_n cover_v we_o for_o we_o have_v sin_v against_o the_o lord_n our_o god_n and_o have_v disobey_v his_o voice_n so_o the_o repent_a prodigal_n o_o father_n i_o have_v sin_v against_o heaven_n and_o against_o thou_o and_o be_o no_o more_o worthy_a to_o be_v call_v thy_o son_n he_o have_v do_v thing_n unworthy_a of_o a_o son_n and_o be_v ashamed_a of_o himself_o will_v be_v glad_a to_o creep_v out_o of_o that_o base_a self_n the_o son_n so_o he_o may_v be_v become_v a_o good_a servant_n he_o be_v ashamed_a to_o think_v he_o have_v be_v a_o son_n because_o he_o have_v carry_v himself_o so_o vile_o in_o that_o state_n 2._o shame_n be_v due_a to_o the_o folly_n which_o those_o who_o sin_n be_v guilty_a of_o he_o which_o sin_n reveal_v his_o folly_n sufficient_o in_o this_o that_o either_o he_o understand_v not_o his_o interest_n or_o slight_v those_o thing_n which_o be_v of_o great_a import_n to_o he_o and_o therefore_o fool_n be_v the_o proper_a name_n of_o a_o sinner_n in_o holy_a language_n for_o what_o good_a reason_n that_o title_n be_v bestow_v upon_o he_o you_o may_v see_v in_o these_o four_o particular_n 1._o he_o which_o sin_n think_v to_o be_v happy_a in_o a_o better_a way_n than_o that_o which_o god_n have_v direct_v he_o to_o and_o be_v so_o silly_a as_o not_o to_o understand_v the_o meanness_n of_o these_o thing_n for_o which_o he_o forsake_v his_o god_n and_o the_o sad_a consequence_n of_o his_o disobedience_n how_o great_a be_v the_o disproportion_n which_o be_v between_o the_o pure_a joy_n which_o flow_v into_o the_o soul_n from_o the_o sense_n of_o god_n favour_n and_o the_o muddy_a pleasure_n which_o in_o any_o channel_n whatsoever_o can_v be_v derive_v from_o sin_n it_o be_v but_o little_a and_o very_o impure_a mix_v with_o dreadful_a allay_v this_o be_v so_o great_a a_o stupidity_n that_o

the_o prophet_n bring_v in_o the_o heaven_n as_o wonder_v at_o it_o 13._o be_v astonish_v o_o you_o heaven_n at_o this_o and_o be_v you_o horrible_o afraid_a say_v the_o lord_n for_o my_o people_n have_v commit_v two_o evil_n they_o have_v forsake_v i_o the_o fountain_n of_o live_v water_n and_o hew_v they_o out_o cistern_n break_a cistern_n which_o can_v hold_v no_o water_n it_o be_v true_a it_o be_v apply_v principal_o to_o their_o forsake_v the_o live_a god_n to_o serve_v dead_a idol_n 11._o have_v a_o nation_n change_v their_o god_n which_o yet_o be_v no_o god_n but_o my_o people_n have_v change_v their_o glory_n for_o that_o which_o do_v not_o profit_n it_o be_v a_o strange_a impudence_n in_o those_o wicked_a jew_n of_o who_o this_o prophet_n speak_v who_o when_o they_o be_v in_o a_o bad_a condition_n make_v such_o by_o their_o sin_n will_v mend_v it_o by_o their_o sin_n 44._o they_o be_v in_o captivity_n because_o of_o their_o wickedness_n and_o in_o particular_a for_o idolatry_n and_o be_v tell_v so_o by_o the_o prophet_n see_v what_o use_n they_o make_v of_o it_o 17._o we_o will_v burn_v incense_n to_o the_o queen_n of_o heaven_n and_o pour_v out_o drink-offering_n to_o she_o as_o do_v our_o father_n who_o be_v then_o well_o and_o have_v plenty_n of_o all_o thing_n liar_n they_o be_v now_o in_o famine_n for_o that_o disobedience_n and_o yet_o say_v we_o will_v do_v what_o have_v come_v into_o our_o mind_n when_o as_o all_o the_o prosperity_n which_o they_o enjoy_v before_o be_v from_o observe_v god_n command_v and_o they_o bereave_v themselves_o of_o it_o now_o by_o forsake_v god_n 19_o as_o the_o prophet_n tell_v they_o before_o that_o they_o procure_v this_o to_o themselves_o in_o that_o they_o forsake_v the_o lord_n their_o god_n and_o that_o their_o own_o wickedness_n shall_v correct_v they_o and_o make_v they_o know_v that_o it_o be_v a_o evil_a thing_n and_o bitter_a that_o they_o have_v forsake_v god_n and_o that_o the_o fear_n of_o displease_v he_o be_v not_o in_o they_o and_o that_o it_o shall_v enter_v into_o their_o heart_n i._n e._n to_o gnaw_v it_o when_o they_o consider_v what_o they_o have_v do_v what_o less_o folly_n be_v they_o guilty_a of_o who_o forsake_v the_o peace_n of_o conscience_n and_o hope_n of_o immortality_n and_o pleasure_n of_o divine_a favour_n for_o the_o embrace_n of_o a_o harlot_n voluptuous_a riot_n unjust_a gain_n or_o for_o all_o that_o good_a that_o any_o or_o all_o sort_n of_o sin_n can_v bring_v in_o exchange_n when_o they_o come_v to_o themselves_o as_o it_o be_v say_v of_o the_o prodigal_n for_o a_o sinner_n be_v out_o of_o his_o wit_n they_o say_v to_o themselves_o as_o the_o apostle_n do_v to_o the_o roman_n what_o profit_n have_v we_o of_o those_o thing_n which_o now_o only_o produce_v shame_n in_o our_o soul_n or_o as_o that_o great_a soldier_n when_o he_o see_v the_o folly_n of_o his_o base_a condescension_n in_o the_o sad_a consequence_n of_o it_o 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d so_o the_o prodigal_n i_o have_v leave_v the_o bread_n and_o all_o good_a entertainment_n of_o my_o father_n house_n to_o feed_v upon_o husk_n with_o swine_n i_o have_v of_o a_o freeman_n make_v myself_o a_o slave_n to_o corruption_n when_o david_n not_o weigh_v thing_n in_o the_o balance_n of_o the_o sanctuary_n i._n e._n esteem_v they_o as_o god_n do_v according_a to_o the_o true_a worth_n do_v undervalue_v the_o happiness_n of_o good_a man_n because_o they_o want_v that_o prosperity_n which_o he_o see_v some_o wicked_a man_n enjoy_v when_o he_o come_v to_o consider_v better_a how_o do_v he_o condemn_v the_o folly_n of_o his_o former_a thought_n in_o these_o word_n 22._o so_o foolish_a be_v i_o and_o ignorant_a i_o be_v as_o a_o beast_n before_o thou_o but_o as_o i_o have_v none_o in_o heaven_n but_o thou_o so_o in_o earth_n there_o be_v nothing_o that_o i_o can_v desire_v in_o comparison_n of_o thou_o 2._o thy_o favour_n be_v better_a than_o life_n or_o any_o thing_n in_o it_o this_o be_v the_o folly_n of_o the_o first_o sinner_n they_o will_v mend_v the_o estate_n god_n have_v put_v they_o in_o by_o follow_v their_o own_o counsel_n and_o so_o for_o the_o slight_a and_o short_a pleasure_n which_o they_o have_v in_o eat_v forbid_a fruit_n lose_v the_o joy_n of_o divine_a favour_n and_o the_o peace_n of_o their_o own_o conscience_n and_o fling_v themselves_o into_o shame_n and_o fear_n be_v not_o thou_o ashamed_a whoever_o thou_o be_v which_o consent_v to_o sin_n to_o throw_v thyself_o out_o of_o the_o joy_n of_o thy_o soul_n a_o serene_a tranquillity_n of_o mind_n into_o melancholy_a and_o grief_n when_o thou_o see_v how_o by_o sin_n thou_o have_v debase_v thyself_o lose_v thy_o honour_n and_o

sin_n appear_v more_o he_o which_o disobey_v god_n will_v transgress_v his_o law_n and_o go_v beyond_o the_o bound_n which_o god_n have_v set_v though_o they_o lay_v no_o curb_n upon_o appetite_n nor_o stop_v the_o course_n of_o action_n be_v to_o preserve_v we_o from_o that_o mischief_n into_o which_o we_o shall_v fall_v if_o we_o go_v far_o than_o they_o permit_v a_o madman_n will_v on_o though_o you_o stop_v he_o only_o upon_o the_o top_n of_o a_o precipice_n be_v not_o the_o pleasure_n of_o single_a life_n enough_o with_o chastity_n and_o divine_a love_n or_o if_o nature_n require_v

a_o temperate_a cheerfulness_n much_o better_a than_o to_o be_v drown_v in_o excess_n of_o wine_n and_o choke_v with_o gluttony_n and_o surfeit_n be_v not_o a_o competency_n of_o worldly_a mean_n suitable_a to_o the_o necessity_n of_o our_o condition_n and_o number_n of_o our_o relative_n thankful_o enjoy_v better_o than_o the_o torment_a content_n of_o a_o ravenous_a temper_n which_o make_v the_o man_n haunt_v with_o it_o always_o to_o endeavour_v to_o add_v house_n to_o house_n land_n to_o land_n and_o to_o increase_v his_o heap_n with_o unjust_a action_n as_o well_o as_o greedy_a

soul_n seize_v upon_o he_o 3._o the_o folly_n of_o a_o sinner_n appear_v also_o in_o this_o that_o he_o be_v not_o sensible_a of_o the_o great_a danger_n which_o his_o sin_n lead_v he_o into_o no_o
