thief_n to_o show_v you_o that_o a_o late_a deathbed_n repentance_n be_v a_o thing_n most_o dangerous_a if_o not_o in_o some_o sort_n impossible_a first_o i_o show_v you_o at_o large_a the_o last_o lord_n day_n that_o there_o be_v no_o encouragement_n at_o all_o in_o the_o example_n of_o the_o penitent_a thief_n for_o a_o late_a deathbed_n repentance_n for_o this_o example_n in_o many_o thing_n be_v vast_o different_a from_o the_o condition_n of_o presumptuous_a sinner_n in_o our_o time_n this_o in_o all_o probability_n be_v the_o first_o call_v that_o be_v ever_o give_v to_o this_o poor_a thief_n the_o first_o opportunity_n that_o be_v ever_o offer_v he_o to_o be_v acquaint_v with_o christ_n whereas_o the_o clinic_n of_o the_o age_n have_v have_v the_o mean_n of_o grace_n plentiful_o afford_v they_o they_o have_v have_v line_n upon_o line_n and_o precept_n upon_o precept_n public_a and_o private_a admonition_n to_o repent_v i_o show_v you_o further_o how_o wonderful_a and_o extraordinary_a his_o repentance_n be_v we_o find_v here_o in_o the_o text_n his_o deep_a sense_n of_o his_o sin_n his_o humble_a and_o public_a confession_n of_o his_o fault_n his_o great_a charity_n and_o compassion_n for_o the_o soul_n of_o the_o other_o thief_n a_o faith_n also_o strange_a and_o prodigious_a such_o as_o pronounce_v christ_n a_o just_a and_o innocent_a person_n when_o the_o great_a sanhedrim_n have_v condemn_v he_o for_o a_o malefactor_n such_o as_o own_a christ_n to_o have_v a_o kingdom_n and_o that_o a_o kingdom_n of_o another_o world_n such_o as_o make_v he_o address_v to_o christ_n for_o mercy_n own_v he_o in_o his_o low_a degree_n of_o humiliation_n when_o all_o the_o world_n revile_v he_o and_o his_o own_o disciple_n forsake_v he_o such_o a_o change_n as_o this_o so_o sudden_a and_o so_o perfect_a can_v not_o be_v wrought_v without_o a_o miraculous_a power_n and_o be_v design_v as_o i_o show_v you_o to_o grace_v the_o passion_n and_o crucifixion_n of_o our_o saviour_n but_o not_o to_o encourage_v presumptuous_a sinner_n to_o delay_v their_o repentance_n as_o therefore_o we_o can_v think_v god_n oblige_v to_o work_v miracle_n for_o the_o conversion_n of_o bold_a dare_a sinner_n so_o we_o can_v administer_v any_o solid_a comfort_n to_o they_o at_o the_o hour_n of_o death_n from_o this_o example_n of_o the_o penitent_a thief_n all_o the_o kindness_n the_o text_n will_v allow_v we_o to_o show_v unto_o bold_a presumptuous_a sinner_n be_v only_o to_o awaken_v they_o in_o the_o time_n of_o their_o health_n to_o a_o serious_a and_o timely_a repentance_n from_o the_o dreadful_a example_n of_o the_o impenitent_a thief_n this_o wicked_a malefactor_n as_o he_o have_v live_v a_o most_o wicked_a life_n so_o he_o die_v a_o most_o miserable_a death_n his_o body_n be_v not_o soon_o bury_v in_o golgotha_n than_o his_o soul_n be_v hurry_v to_o the_o place_n of_o torment_n all_o the_o charity_n of_o the_o penitent_a thief_n be_v lose_v upon_o he_o all_o his_o admonition_n prove_v ineffectual_a he_o die_v revile_v and_o blaspheme_v his_o saviour_n and_o consequent_o can_v not_o be_v long_o from_o receive_v the_o just_a but_o dreadful_a reward_n of_o such_o final_a impenitency_n i_o come_v therefore_o in_o the_o next_o place_n to_o show_v you_o from_o this_o example_n second_o that_o a_o late_a repentance_n be_v a_o thing_n most_o dangerous_a if_o not_o in_o some_o sort_n impossible_a the_o generality_n of_o mankind_n be_v ready_a enough_o to_o acknowledge_v the_o absolute_a necessity_n of_o
