to_o try_v and_o see_v whether_o god_n will_v extend_v his_o mercy_n further_o and_o further_o we_o tell_v you_o in_o the_o name_n of_o god_n and_o say_v to_o you_o the_o sin_n you_o have_v commit_v already_o be_v so_o grievous_a that_o it_o must_v needs_o be_v a_o wonderful_a work_n of_o god_n to_o forgive_v they_o and_o what_o must_v you_o needs_o add_v more_o and_o more_o and_o tempt_v god_n to_o extend_v his_o mercy_n further_o take_v heed_n of_o tempt_a god_n to_o extend_v his_o mercy_n further_o for_o though_o god_n may_v be_v please_v to_o extend_v his_o mercy_n thus_o far_o who_o shall_v prescribe_v god_n how_o far_o he_o shall_v go_v who_o can_v tell_v but_o that_o the_o thought_n of_o god_n towards_o thou_o be_v thus_o that_o he_o will_v go_v thus_o far_o to_o pardon_v thou_o but_o if_o thou_o go_v on_o in_o sin_n who_o can_v tell_v whether_o he_o will_v go_v on_o to_o pardon_v further_o it_o be_v true_a when_o god_n come_v to_o pardon_v he_o will_v do_v they_o all_o away_o but_o know_v thou_o that_o go_v on_o to_o increase_v the_o guilt_n of_o thy_o sin_n thou_o may_v find_v it_o as_o many_o thousand_o have_v find_v it_o a_o mighty_a hard_a thing_n which_o have_v cost_v they_o much_o anguish_n and_o distress_n of_o spirit_n to_o get_v the_o pardon_n of_o their_o sin_n seal_v in_o the_o court_n of_o conscience_n though_o it_o be_v seal_v before_o in_o heaven_n o_o the_o anguish_n of_o spirit_n it_o have_v cost_v they_o and_o do_v thou_o still_o go_v on_o to_o heap_v up_o more_o and_o more_o sin_n as_o if_o the_o pardon_n of_o thy_o sin_n be_v nothing_o there_o be_v a_o great_a deal_n of_o reason_n in_o this_o to_o cry_v to_o sinner_n to_o stop_v in_o the_o course_n of_o sin_n for_o thou_o have_v go_v on_o enough_o already_o go_v no_o further_o that_o be_v a_o second_o abuse_n of_o the_o mercy_n of_o god_n in_o pardon_v sin_n three_o they_o abuse_v the_o mercy_n of_o god_n that_o have_v extreme_a slight_a thought_n of_o pardon_n of_o sin_n that_o think_v to_o have_v it_o at_o any_o time_n when_o they_o will_v it_o be_v but_o repent_v as_o it_o be_v say_v of_o lewis_n the_o xith_z king_n of_o france_n that_o he_o wear_v a_o crusifix_n in_o his_o hat_n and_o when_o he_o have_v commit_v a_o sin_n it_o be_v but_o take_v it_o down_o and_o kiss_n of_o it_o and_o all_o be_v well_o again_o so_o many_o idolatrous_a papist_n they_o have_v as_o slight_a thought_n of_o pardon_n of_o sin_n as_o can_v be_v if_o they_o commit_v a_o sin_n they_o make_v no_o more_o of_o it_o but_o go_v to_o a_o priest_n to_o shrieve_v they_o or_o kneel_v before_o a_o crucifix_n and_o knock_v their_o breast_n which_o be_v a_o thing_n soon_o do_v and_o all_o be_v well_o again_o certain_o it_o be_v a_o great_a dishonour_n to_o god_n for_o any_o man_n to_o have_v slight_a thought_n of_o the_o pardon_n of_o sin_n it_o be_v such_o a_o work_n as_o if_o ever_o any_o thing_n put_v god_n to_o it_o as_o i_o may_v say_v to_o pardon_v sin_n and_o yet_o to_o salve_v his_o justice_n it_o be_v this_o work_n and_o certain_o if_o ever_o god_n have_v love_n to_o thou_o thou_o will_v change_v thy_o thought_n about_o this_o and_o certain_o the_o slight_a thought_n man_n have_v about_o this_o be_v the_o cause_n many_o time_n why_o they_o be_v hold_v so_o long_o under_o the_o spirit_n of_o bondage_n when_o god_n begin_v to_o work_v upon_o they_o and_o stir_v the_o conscience_n and_o lay_v the_o guilt_n of_o sin_n home_o upon_o it_o how_o long_o be_v they_o before_o they_o can_v have_v any_o assurance_n of_o pardon_n and_o in_o just_a judgement_n it_o be_v so_o because_o they_o have_v slight_a thought_n before_o of_o the_o pardon_n of_o sin_n i_o remember_v it_o be_v story_v of_o pompey_n when_o one_o of_o his_o captain_n come_v to_o he_o and_o tell_v he_o he_o want_v man_n say_v he_o i_o can_v but_o stamp_v my_o foot_n upon_o the_o ground_n and_o bring_v forth_o so_o many_o man_n present_o but_o when_o the_o enemy_n come_v this_o captain_n come_v to_o he_o again_o and_o say_v where_o be_v your_o man_n now_o but_o then_o he_o can_v not_o get_v they_o when_o he_o be_v in_o distress_n and_o have_v great_a need_n of_o they_o as_o many_o think_v they_o can_v do_v great_a thing_n with_o a_o word_n speak_v as_o if_o all_o must_v be_v at_o their_o beck_n present_o but_o when_o they_o come_v to_o it_o they_o fail_v and_o find_v it_o otherwise_o so_o many_o make_v it_o a_o small_a matter_n to_o get_v pardon_n of_o sin_n they_o think_v to_o do_v it_o with_o a_o lord_n have_v mercy_n upon_o we_o at_o their_o deathbed_n or_o the_o like_a but_o when_o they_o come_v to_o it_o indeed_o god_n make_v they_o to_o know_v it_o be_v the_o great_a business_n that_o ever_o they_o have_v to_o do_v in_o in_o all_o their_o life_n there_o be_v nothing_o that_o god_n be_v so_o jealous_a of_o as_o his_o honour_n and_o special_o about_o this_o great_a work_n and_o certain_o be_v it_o not_o that_o god_n be_v very_o jealous_a of_o his_o honour_n and_o will_v cure_v the_o slight_a thought_n that_o man_n have_v of_o this_o great_a work_n there_o needs_o never_o be_v so_o much_o humiliation_n and_o work_n of_o the_o spirit_n of_o bondage_n and_o certain_o do_v we_o but_o know_v the_o greatness_n of_o this_o work_n how_o will_v sinner_n snatch_v at_o any_o opportunity_n or_o hint_n of_o god_n favour_n appear_v to_o they_o they_o will_v do_v as_o the_o servant_n of_o benhadad_n 1_o king_n 20.33_o diligent_o observe_v if_o any_o thing_n will_v come_v from_o he_o and_o hasty_o catch_v at_o it_o they_o watch_v

pardon_n of_o sin_n what_o a_o great_a work_n it_o be_v he_o will_v be_v so_o far_o from_o have_v slight_a thought_n of_o it_o that_o he_o will_v come_v clothe_v in_o sackcloth_n and_o every_o

that_o sin_n against_o god_n think_v it_o a_o easy_a matter_n to_o get_v pardon_n of_o sin_n know_v i_o have_v find_v it_o otherwise_o it_o cost_v i_o dear_a before_o i_o can_v get_v assurance_n of_o

to_o time_n for_o the_o business_n be_v not_o so_o slight_a to_o put_v it_o off_o many_o abuse_v the_o example_n of_o david_n and_o think_v because_o he_o sin_v they_o may_v take_v liberty_n to_o sin_n but_o they_o consider_v not_o what_o abundance_n of_o sorrow_n it_o cost_v he_o to_o get_v his_o pardon_n it_o cost_v he_o so_o much_o as_o that_o he_o tell_v they_o for_o this_o cause_n every_o one_o shall_v seek_v god_n in_o due_a time_n many_o think_v they_o may_v put_v it_o off_o till_o any_o time_n but_o mark_v what_o david_n say_v for_o this_o cause_n every_o man_n that_o be_v godly_a shall_v seek_v thou_o in_o a_o time_n when_o thou_o may_v be_v find_v he_o do_v not_o say_v i_o have_v find_v mercy_n in_o the_o pardon_v of_o my_o great_a sin_n and_o for_o this_o cause_n man_n shall_v be_v bold_a to_o put_v it_o off_o to_o any_o time_n no_o but_o for_o this_o cause_n those_o that_o be_v godly_a and_o have_v any_o acquaintance_n in_o the_o way_n of_o god_n will_v seek_v

to_o be_v this_o you_o now_o give_v way_n to_o the_o reason_n of_o your_o own_o heart_n to_o further_a sin_n from_o the_o consideration_n of_o god_n pardon_v mercy_n the_o same_o reason_n that_o further_v sin_n in_o you_o now_o from_o the_o consideration_n of_o pardon_n will_v make_v you_o have_v further_a thought_n of_o despair_v of_o god_n mercy_n suppose_v thou_o go_v on_o a_o great_a

i_o hope_v i_o speak_v thing_n will_v be_v very_o precious_a to_o they_o yea_o i_o say_v unto_o many_o of_o you_o for_o while_o i_o be_o in_o this_o argument_n i_o be_o speak_v to_o such_o as_o have_v have_v the_o fear_n of_o god_n fall_v upon_o their_o heart_n and_o they_o have_v make_v it_o the_o great_a business_n of_o their_o life_n above_o all_o thing_n in_o this_o world_n to_o know_v how_o term_n be_v between_o god_n and_o their_o soul_n to_o know_v how_o it_o stand_v with_o they_o for_o their_o everlasting_a estate_n i_o know_v abundance_n of_o people_n scarce_o ever_o call_v these_o

they_o though_o i_o do_v no_o good_a to_o other_o i_o shall_v think_v my_o time_n well_o spend_v wherefore_o then_o in_o your_o examination_n ever_o carry_v this_o with_o you_o that_o you_o have_v to_o deal_v with_o god_n in_o the_o covenant_n of_o grace_n and_o not_o in_o a_o covenant_n of_o work_n certain_o that_o many_o be_v so_o trouble_v in_o their_o conscience_n about_o their_o eternal_a

they_o have_v to_o deal_v with_o god_n in_o a_o covenant_n of_o work_n and_o as_o if_o there_o be_v no_o covenant_n of_o grace_n at_o all_o now_o what_o a_o dishonour_n be_v this_o to_o the_o riches_n of_o god_n goodness_n in_o the_o covenant_n of_o grace_n that_o tell_v we_o we_o be_v not_o to_o be_v judge_v for_o our_o eternal_a estate_n by_o the_o covenant_n of_o work_n and_o tell_v we_o that_o
