arrive_v to_o their_o ear_n it_o must_v therefore_o necessary_o be_v a_o precept_n and_o command_n of_o the_o moral_a law_n to_o they_o which_o more_o or_o less_o be_v manifest_v to_o all_o even_o the_o most_o savage_a and_o barbarous_a nation_n of_o the_o earth_n the_o design_n and_o office_n of_o the_o law_n do_v also_o manifest_a that_o the_o precept_n of_o repentance_n do_v proper_o belong_v to_o it_o for_o it_o be_v not_o only_o appoint_v as_o a_o rule_n of_o obedience_n to_o adam_n but_o god_n certain_o know_v that_o man_n will_v fall_v into_o a_o state_n of_o sin_n and_o

their_o duty_n to_o bewail_v their_o miscarriage_n which_o bring_v all_o misery_n upon_o they_o and_o to_o reform_v their_o evil_a course_n and_o to_o turn_v from_o sin_n to_o god_n this_o the_o law_n preach_v to_o man_n and_o these_o be_v the_o natural_a dictate_v of_o it_o in_o their_o conscience_n and_o it_o be_v impossible_a to_o persuade_v they_o till_o god_n come_v with_o the_o power_n of_o his_o grace_n and_o work_v faith_n against_o put_v their_o confidence_n in_o their_o sorrow_n and_o repent_v to_o obtain_v pardon_n by_o it_o and_o against_o trust_v to_o their_o resolution_n of_o

they_o arise_v not_o from_o the_o gospel_n for_o that_o instruct_v we_o to_o put_v our_o whole_a and_o entire_a confidence_n in_o christ_n and_o his_o righteousness_n alone_o they_o must_v then_o spring_v from_o the_o law_n and_o consequent_o repentance_n which_o this_o law_n not_o only_o urge_v man_n unto_o but_o move_v they_o to_o build_v their_o hope_n of_o life_n upon_o it_o must_v be_v one_o of_o its_o precept_n the_o law_n command_v it_o the_o gospel_n as_o a_o proclamation_n of_o grace_n and_o a_o offer_n of_o pardon_n only_o invite_v and_o encourage_v it_o thus_o it_o be_v sufficient_o prove_v that_o sinner_n be_v by_o the_o moral_a law_n oblige_v to_o own_o their_o sin_n with_o the_o most_o bewail_a expression_n of_o grief_n though_o that_o law_n give_v they_o no_o encouragement_n and_o hope_n and_o that_o adam_n after_o his_o fall_n be_v engage_v to_o this_o sorrow_n and_o contrition_n before_o any_o promise_n of_o pardon_n and_o acceptance_n tender_v if_o we_o now_o consider_v the_o other_o and_o chief_a part_n of_o repentance_n it_o will_v be_v evident_a that_o this_o be_v not_o only_o require_v of_o the_o father_n of_o mankind_n fall_v but_o that_o it_o be_v his_o duty_n and_o what_o he_o practise_v in_o all_o the_o time_n of_o his_o innocence_n and_o flourish_a condition_n for_o what_o be_v repentance_n main_o but_o a_o hearty_a abhorrence_n of_o sin_n join_v with_o a_o most_o careful_a avoidance_n of_o it_o and_o a_o most_o firm_a resolution_n against_o it_o now_o this_o be_v as_o sure_o in_o adam_n when_o continue_v the_o same_o upright_a creature_n which_o god_n have_v make_v he_o as_o it_o be_v certain_a that_o then_o he_o be_v holy_a holiness_n and_o hatred_n of_o sin_n be_v altogether_o inseparable_a and_o therefore_o unless_o we_o will_v suppose_v our_o first_o father_n to_o have_v be_v unholy_a in_o his_o original_n be_v we_o must_v not_o doubt_v of_o his_o daily_a act_n of_o this_o principal_a and_o most_o considerable_a part_n of_o repentance_n i_o call_v it_o so_o because_o it_o be_v that_o which_o to_o bring_v forth_o the_o other_o be_v appoint_v for_o we_o be_v not_o command_v to_o mourn_v and_o to_o bewail_v our_o folly_n and_o miscarriage_n mere_o for_o the_o sake_n of_o vex_v and_o torment_v ourselves_o or_o as_o if_o by_o the_o inward_a anguish_n of_o our_o soul_n we_o be_v to_o do_v penance_n to_o pacify_v a_o displease_a god_n but_o all_o this_o trouble_n of_o mind_n for_o sin_n be_v intend_v and_o require_v to_o embitter_v it_o to_o we_o and_o to_o render_v we_o vile_a in_o our_o own_o eye_n and_o to_o throw_v we_o humble_v before_o the_o throne_n of_o grace_n for_o though_o we_o be_v sinner_n and_o poor_a and_o miserable_a yet_o we_o be_v natural_o proud_a and_o therefore_o a_o sense_n of_o our_o sin_n and_o misery_n be_v requisite_a to_o bring_v down_o our_o haughty_a spirit_n though_o we_o also_o daily_o feel_v the_o dismal_a mischief_n of_o sin_n yet_o our_o deprave_a nature_n render_v we_o too_o prone_a and_o ready_o incline_v unto_o it_o and_o therefore_o a_o pierce_a sorrow_n be_v necessary_a to_o bring_v we_o to_o that_o true_a repentance_n of_o which_o i_o be_o speak_v which_o consist_v in_o hate_v sin_n and_o turn_v from_o it_o it_o be_v but_o needful_a that_o a_o ache_a wound_n make_v we_o sensible_a of_o the_o malignant_a mischief_n of_o sin_n to_o render_v it_o the_o object_n of_o our_o high_a aversion_n well_o then_o it_o be_v hatred_n of_o sin_n and_o a_o hearty_a resistance_n of_o it_o which_o be_v the_o last_o and_o chief_a act_n of_o repentance_n since_o our_o sorrow_n be_v design_v only_o to_o produce_v this_o effect_n and_o so_o after_o all_o to_o hate_v sin_n and_o most_o careful_o to_o avoid_v it_o be_v most_o true_o to_o repent_v of_o it_o and_o this_o repentance_n our_o first_o father_n even_o in_o his_o innocence_n act_v to_o a_o high_a degree_n than_o we_o do_v since_o his_o detestation_n of_o sin_n be_v great_a and_o till_o the_o sad_a moment_n of_o his_o fall_n he_o oppose_v it_o more_o firm_o and_o successful_o but_o it_o will_v be_v object_v repentance_n suppose_v the_o person_n to_o have_v sin_v and_o therefore_o a_o precept_n of_o it_o to_o adam_n in_o his_o uprightness_n be_v altogether_o needless_a no_o not_o at_o all_o for_o a_o precept_n to_o oblige_v man_n to_o what_o be_v due_a and_o just_a be_v necessary_a for_o he_o in_o every_o condition_n and_o nothing_o can_v be_v more_o due_a than_o to_o acknowledge_v a_o wrong_n do_v and_o what_o be_v repentance_n but_o a_o hearty_a own_n and_o lament_v the_o high_a injury_n offer_v to_o god_n by_o our_o sin_n and_o beside_o god_n in_o make_v a_o law_n give_v such_o a_o perfect_a rule_n as_o be_v sufficient_a to_o bind_v man_n to_o his_o duty_n in_o all_o circumstance_n of_o his_o case_n and_o therefore_o it_o be_v not_o only_o model_v to_o oblige_v he_o to_o perfect_a obedience_n but_o to_o engage_v he_o to_o repent_v when_o he_o have_v fail_v of_o his_o duty_n well_o but_o some_o may_v argue_v against_o what_o i_o before_o say_v concern_v faith_n being_n a_o precept_n of_o the_o original_a law_n give_v to_o adam_n that_o though_o it_o be_v true_a that_o faith_n in_o god_n be_v require_v in_o the_o first_o commandment_n yet_o there_o be_v no_o faith_n in_o a_o redeemer_n express_v what_o then_o it_o be_v yet_o plain_o imply_v since_o this_o our_o redeemer_n be_v god_n and_o therefore_o a_o general_a command_n to_o trust_v on_o god_n at_o all_o time_n and_o according_a to_o the_o various_a necessity_n of_o our_o state_n must_v include_v a_o precept_n to_o believe_v on_o christ_n the_o redeemer_n when_o the_o sad_a state_n of_o our_o case_n do_v require_v it_o ay_o but_o the_o law_n will_v they_o object_v be_v give_v to_o man_n in_o innocence_n and_o therefore_o only_o tie_v he_o to_o such_o act_n of_o obedience_n as_o be_v proper_a to_o that_o condition_n and_o therefore_o such_o duty_n which_o result_n from_o man_n be_v a_o sinner_n such_o as_o faith_n and_o repentance_n be_v not_o enclose_v within_o the_o compass_n of_o this_o law_n yes_o but_o they_o be_v and_o that_o for_o the_o same_o reason_n as_o such_o duty_n which_o arise_v from_o the_o present_a relation_n which_o man_n bear_v to_o one_o another_o which_o be_v the_o consequent_n of_o adam_n fall_n be_v comprehend_v in_o the_o precept_n of_o the_o moral_a law_n by_o this_o a_o slave_n be_v oblige_v to_o perform_v service_n to_o his_o master_n and_o yet_o if_o man_n have_v not_o sin_v there_o have_v be_v no_o such_o thing_n as_o slavery_n by_o
