life_n what_o reason_n have_v i_o to_o hope_v for_o it_o the_o promise_n of_o god_n that_o proclaim_v pardon_n of_o sin_n and_o inheritance_n of_o glory_n to_o all_o that_o believe_v in_o his_o son_n

have_v hear_v of_o christ_n and_o believe_v the_o truth_n of_o the_o gospel_n and_o yet_o he_o be_v far_o from_o true_a hope_n and_o from_o that_o which_o the_o papist_n themselves_o require_v of_o every_o christian_a who_o teach_v that_o every_o man_n by_o receive_v the_o sacrament_n of_o baptism_n be_v actual_o purge_v from_o all_o his_o sin_n before_o commit_v which_o he_o must_v certain_o be_v persuade_v and_o assure_v of_o the_o like_a they_o say_v of_o their_o sacrament_n of_o penance_n and_o of_o extreme_a unction_n which_o he_o that_o receave_v die_v have_v a_o general_a catholic_a faith_n shall_v sure_o go_v to_o heaven_n though_o perhaps_o through_o purgatory_n in_o somuch_o that_o if_o he_o which_o be_v thus_o prepare_v shall_v doubt_v whether_o he_o be_v save_v or_o no_o he_o shall_v sin_v mortal_o therefore_o to_o conclude_v this_o point_n which_o i_o have_v hit_v upon_o this_o by_o the_o way_n i_o say_v it_o be_v plain_a that_o faith_n limit_n hope_v and_o that_o there_o be_v no_o true_a hope_n or_o reason_n of_o hope_v but_o proportionable_o to_o the_o measure_n of_o believe_v which_o will_v easy_o be_v acknowledge_v of_o we_o if_o we_o remember_v that_o hope_v in_o the_o scripture_n be_v apply_v to_o those_o thing_n which_o we_o must_v of_o necessity_n believe_v by_o faith_n and_o in_o deed_n the_o true_a difference_n betwixt_o faith_n and_o hope_v be_v not_o in_o the_o diversity_n of_o assurance_n but_o in_o the_o circumstance_n of_o time_n faith_n reach_v to_o all_o time_n past_a present_a and_o to_o come_v hope_v be_v restrain_v only_o to_o the_o future_a time_n a_o christian_a man_n believe_v by_o faith_n that_o god_n will_v bless_v he_o in_o all_o thing_n of_o this_o life_n so_o far_o forth_o as_o it_o shall_v make_v for_o his_o own_o glory_n and_o the_o believer_n salvation_n therefore_o also_o he_o hope_v for_o this_o blessing_n from_o god_n not_o absolute_o but_o with_o those_o condition_n which_o faith_n observe_v in_o believe_v the_o same_o man_n believe_v by_o faith_n that_o because_o he_o trust_v in_o christ_n he_o be_v now_o in_o the_o favour_n of_o god_n and_o shall_v so_o continue_v for_o ever_o therefore_o according_o he_o hope_v for_o salvation_n without_o any_o other_o condition_n of_o the_o truth_n of_o these_o thing_n i_o dispute_v not_o but_o only_o bring_v they_o to_o show_v the_o nature_n of_o

without_o note_n of_o infidelity_n ask_v forgiveness_n of_o sin_n that_o weak_a faith_n be_v not_o to_o be_v count_v infidelity_n i_o take_v it_o no_o christian_a doubt_n at_o all_o and_o as_o

therefore_o this_o assumption_n be_v void_a of_o truth_n as_o the_o whole_a discourse_n of_o this_o article_n have_v prove_v for_o i_o make_v no_o doubt_n but_o that_o by_o note_n of_o infidelity_n he_o mean_v as_o before_o want_v of_o faith_n in_o not_o believe_v that_o our_o sin_n be_v forgive_v or_o in_o demand_v that_o of_o god_n which_o by_o faith_n we_o be_v assure_v he_o have_v already_o

we_o believe_v and_o teach_v that_o all_o our_o sin_n original_a and_o actual_a before_o and_o after_o baptism_n both_o guilt_n and_o punishment_n temporal_a and_o eternal_a be_v wash_v away_o by_o the_o blood_n and_o suffering_n of_o the_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n second_o that_o this_o pardon_n be_v make_v effectual_a to_o we_o by_o faith_n whereby_o we_o cast_v ourselves_o upon_o christ_n to_o be_v save_v by_o he_o three_o that_o the_o assurance_n which_o follow_v upon_o believe_v be_v wrought_v in_o every_o man_n according_a to_o his_o measure_n and_o be_v in_o no_o man_n ordinary_o so_o perfect_a but_o that_o it_o be_v mix_v with_o some_o doubt_v more_o or_o less_o how_o pray_v for_o pardon_n of_o sin_n may_v stand_v with_o this_o faith_n though_o i_o have_v show_v sufficient_o already_o yet_o it_o will_v not_o be_v amiss_o to_o declare_v it_o more_o full_o for_o answer_v to_o this_o accusation_n we_o believe_v in_o some_o measure_n that_o god_n have_v forgive_v all_o our_o sin_n in_o our_o saviour_n jesus_n christ_n but_o because_o our_o faith_n be_v weak_a we_o continual_o pray_v to_o god_n for_o pardon_n or_o rather_o for_o the_o assurance_n of_o our_o pardon_n to_o be_v increase_v neither_o yet_o do_v it_o follow_v that_o then_o prayer_n for_o forgiveness_n be_v a_o effect_n of_o a_o weak_a faith_n because_o though_o our_o faith_n be_v strong_a yet_o the_o feel_n of_o our_o own_o wretchedness_n the_o just_a desert_n of_o sin_n and_o the_o wrath_n of_o god_n due_a unto_o we_o will_v wring_v out_o such_o entreaty_n from_o we_o as_o we_o see_v the_o extremity_n which_o our_o saviour_n christ_n be_v in_o upon_o the_o cross_n make_v he_o cry_v out_o so_o main_o my_o god_n my_o god_n why_o have_v thou_o forsake_v i_o albeit_o he_o be_v full_o assure_v that_o god_n neither_o have_v nor_o will_v utter_o forsake_v he_o ad_fw-la hereunto_o that_o we_o do_v indeed_o proper_o demand_v forgiveness_n of_o sin_n because_o we_o be_v to_o receive_v actual_a pardon_n from_o god_n continual_o both_o for_o our_o original_a corruption_n which_o always_o in_o this_o life_n abide_v with_o we_o and_o for_o actual_a sin_n which_o we_o daily_o and_o hourly_o commit_v against_o the_o majesty_n of_o almighty_a god_n if_o any_o man_n shall_v infer_v hereupon_o that_o therefore_o the_o person_n sue_v be_v guilty_a of_o damnation_n till_o his_o sin_n be_v forgive_v which_o must_v ensue_v upon_o his_o prayer_n i_o answer_v that_o in_o respect_n of_o god_n it_o be_v pardon_v as_o soon_o as_o commit_v because_o he_o that_o once_o believe_v be_v thereby_o make_v a_o member_n of_o christ_n mystical_a body_n and_o so_o have_v all_o his_o sin_n satisfy_v for_o by_o the_o death_n and_o suffering_n of_o his_o head_n christ_n but_o to_o he_o that_o be_v in_o his_o feel_n it_o be_v not_o by_o and_o by_o forgive_v namely_o till_o by_o repentance_n he_o have_v crave_v mercy_n of_o god_n for_o it_o but_o indeed_o the_o chief_a reason_n and_o end_n of_o our_o pray_v to_o god_n for_o pardon_n be_v that_o we_o may_v always_o acknowledge_v that_o every_o sin_n commit_v by_o we_o deserve_v everlasting_a damnaton_n of_o itself_o and_o shall_v everlasting_o be_v punish_v if_o that_o god_n have_v not_o accept_v our_o saviour_n christ_n satisfaction_n for_o we_o by_o which_o though_o we_o be_v free_v if_o we_o rest_v on_o he_o by_o faith_n yet_o both_o it_o be_v our_o duty_n according_a to_o god_n commandment_n to_o sue_v for_o pardon_n for_o his_o sake_n &_o in_o truth_n if_o we_o do_v it_o not_o we_o have_v no_o reason_n to_o persuade_v ourselves_o that_o our_o sin_n be_v pardon_v for_o howsoever_o it_o be_v true_a that_o christ_n our_o head_n have_v pay_v the_o price_n of_o our_o ransom_n yet_o it_o be_v also_o true_a that_o we_o every_o day_n deserve_v condemnation_n &_o must_v entreat_v god_n for_o pardon_n that_o so_o we_o may_v come_v to_o that_o assurance_n which_o the_o lord_n have_v enjoin_v we_o to_o labour_n and_o seek_v for_o the_o some_o of_o all_o be_v this_o that_o we_o pray_v for_o pardon_v of_o our_o sin_n 1._o because_o christ_n have_v teach_v and_o command_v we_o so_o to_o pray_v 2._o because_o by_o our_o sin_n we_o have_v deserve_v eternal_a damnation_n 3._o because_o we_o must_v daily_o renew_v our_o repentance_n as_o we_o commit_v new_a sin_n every_o day_n 4._o because_o we_o have_v not_o absolute_a assurance_n of_o the_o forgiveness_n thereof_o some_o perhaps_o will_v rather_o answer_v that_o we_o have_v no_o assurance_n at_o all_o but_o so_o long_o as_o we_o continue_v member_n of_o christ_n body_n which_o be_v no_o long_o say_v they_o than_o we_o refrain_v from_o great_a sin_n for_o by_o every_o such_o sin_n they_o say_v we_o be_v cut_v of_o from_o christ_n and_o therefore_o have_v need_n to_o pray_v for_o pardon_n of_o it_o but_o
this_o answer_n both_o be_v false_a in_o regard_n of_o that_o it_o affirm_v concern_v our_o be_v out_o of_o christ_n and_o also_o do_v not_o satisfy_v the_o whole_a doubt_n for_o it_o show_v no_o reason_n why_o we_o may_v pray_v for_o the_o forgiveness_n of_o any_o other_o sin_n than_o those_o great_a one_o so_o that_o either_o we_o must_v not_o crave_v pardon_n for_o small_a transgression_n
