promise_v to_o abraham_n when_o he_o pray_v that_o ishmael_n may_v live_v in_o his_o sight_n 1●_n gene._n 17_o 1●_n that_o he_o will_v bless_v he_o and_o make_v he_o fruitful_a and_o multiply_v he_o exceed_o that_o he_o shall_v beget_v 12._o prince_n and_o be_v make_v a_o great_a nation_n but_o his_o covenant_n will_v he_o not_o establish_v with_o he_o but_o with_o isaac_n therefore_o ought_v we_o to_o beware_v of_o this_o common_a error_n of_o the_o wordly_a who_o do_v esteem_v so_o little_a of_o sin_n that_o when_o they_o so_o licentiouslie_o do_v commit_v all_o uncleanes_n yet_o do_v they_o think_v thimselue_n in_o no_o peril_n at_o all_o there_o be_v and_o have_v be_v ever_o in_o the_o world_n sin_n &_o profane_a person_n who_o have_v deceive_v other_o with_o vain_a word_n as_o though_o the_o wrath_n of_o god_n shall_v not_o come_v upon_o man_n for_o whoredom_n covetousness_n etc._n etc._n therefore_o do_v the_o apostle_n to_o the_o ephesian_n warn_v we_o that_o we_o let_v no_o man_n deceyve_v we_o with_o vain_a word_n for_o for_o such_o thing_n say_v the_o apostle_n come_v the_o wrath_n of_o god_n upon_o the_o child_n of_o disobedience_n let_v we_o therefore_o learn_v not_o to_o extenuate_v sin_n nor_o secure_o to_o give_v ourselves_o to_o sin_n since_o no_o common_a mercy_n but_o a_o superabundant_a mercy_n can_v obtain_v remission_n of_o sin_n at_o the_o hand_n of_o our_o god_n this_o point_n serve_v next_o for_o consolation_n to_o all_o penitent_a sinner_n how_o weary_a and_o load_v soever_o they_o be_v since_o sin_n can_v not_o abound_v in_o so_o great_a measure_n but_o the_o mercy_n of_o god_n abound_v much_o more_o yea_o this_o be_v the_o very_a custom_n of_o god_n that_o where_o he_o make_v the_o sense_n and_o sight_n of_o sin_n to_o abound_v there_o he_o make_v also_o the_o sense_n of_o his_o mercy_n and_o grace_n to_o abound_v much_o more_o let_v we_o not_o therefore_o with_o cain_n esteem_v our_o sin_n great_a than_o we_o can_v bear_v and_o distrust_v in_o the_o mercy_n of_o god_n see_v the_o lord_n himself_o make_v we_o this_o promise_n by_o the_o prophet_n esai_n 1.18_o esai_n 1.18_o though_o your_o sin_n be_v as_o crimson_a they_o shall_v be_v make_v white_a as_o the_o snow_n though_o they_o be_v red_a as_o scarlet_a they_o shall_v be_v white_a as_o wool_n therefore_o be_v it_o that_o god_n have_v show_v mercy_n to_o the_o chief_a sinner_n that_o we_o shall_v not_o despair_v in_o god_n mercy_n though_o our_o iniquity_n be_v never_o so_o great_a this_o do_v the_o apostle_n paul_n plain_o teach_v we_o by_o his_o own_o example_n in_o the_o first_o cha_n to_o tim._n 1.16_o 1._o tim._n 1.16_o show_v that_o albeit_o he_o be_v chief_a of_o sinner_n &_o albeit_o he_o be_v a_o persecutor_n yet_o be_v he_o receyve_v to_o mercy_n by_o the_o exceed_a abundance_n of_o the_o grace_n of_o god_n towards_o he_o in_o christ_n jesus_n and_o that_o for_o this_o cause_n that_o christ_n jesus_n shall_v first_o show_v on_o he_o all_o long_a suffering_n to_o the_o example_n of_o all_o they_o which_o in_o time_n to_o come_v shall_v believe_v in_o he_o unto_o eternal_a life_n and_o therefore_o declare_v that_o this_o be_v a_o say_v both_o true_a and_o by_o all_o mean_v worthy_a to_o be_v receyve_v to_o wit_n that_o christ_n jesus_n come_v into_o the_o world_n to_o save_v sinner_n let_v not_o then_o the_o haynousnes_n of_o our_o iniquity_n dryve_v we_o away_o from_o god_n who_o be_v able_a to_o remove_v our_o sin_n from_o we_o as_o far_o as_o be_v the_o east_n from_o the_o west_n 103.12_o psal_n 103.12_o see_v christ_n do_v call_v upon_o all_o that_o be_v weary_a and_o load_a and_o do_v promise_v they_o relaxation_n and_o case_n 11.29_o mat._n 11.29_o &_o witness_v that_o he_o do_v come_v into_o the_o world_n not_o to_o call_v the_o righteous_a 45._o psal_n 106.4.6_o and_o 45._o but_o sinner_n to_o repentance_n but_o let_v we_o rather_o with_o the_o psalmist_n pray_v that_o the_o lord_n will_v remember_v we_o with_o the_o favour_n of_o his_o people_n and_o visit_v we_o with_o his_o salvation_n that_o we_o may_v see_v the_o felicity_n of_o his_o choose_a and_o rejoice_v in_o the_o joy_n of_o his_o people_n and_o glory_n with_o his_o inheritance_n for_o although_o we_o have_v sin_v with_o our_o father_n &_o have_v commit_v iniquity_n and_o do_v wicked_o yet_o shall_v he_o remember_v his_o covenant_n and_o call_v back_o his_o wrath_n according_a to_o the_o multitude_n of_o his_o mercy_n three_o this_o point_n serve_v for_o conviction_n of_o all_o who_o do_v esteem_v that_o it_o behoove_v that_o their_o merit_n be_v add_v to_o god_n mercy_n for_o obtain_v of_o eternal_a life_n as_o though_o the_o mercy_n of_o god_n be_v not_o sufficient_a alone_o to_o move_v god_n to_o grant_v we_o this_o benefit_n for_o if_o grace_n do_v abound_v much_o more_o there_o where_o sin_n have_v abound_v then_o need_v there_o nothing_o to_o be_v add_v to_o grace_n since_o the_o measure_n of_o god_n mercy_n give_v we_o in_o christ_n do_v always_o exceed_v the_o measure_n of_o our_o sin_n therefore_o do_v the_o apostle_n reason_n to_o the_o roman_n from_o this_o abundance_n of_o the_o grace_n of_o god_n 17._o rom._n 5.15.16_o &_o 17._o &_o prove_v the_o certainty_n of_o eternal_a life_n by_o comparison_n in_o this_o similitude_n betwixt_o the_o grace_n or_o gift_n of_o god_n in_o christ_n &_o the_o offence_n of_o adam_n in_o three_o respect_n first_o in_o respect_n of_o adam_n sin_n &_o christ_n righteousness_n or_o obedience_n for_o the_o apostle_n say_v that_o the_o gift_n be_v not_o so_o as_o be_v the_o offence_n &_o he_o show_v the_o reason_n for_o say_v he_o if_o through_o the_o offence_n of_o that_o one_o many_o be_v dead_a much_o more_o the_o grace_n of_o god_n &_o the_o gift_n by_o grace_n which_o be_v by_o one_o man_n jesus_n christ_n have_v abound_v unto_o many_o hereby_o declare_v that_o the_o righteousness_n of_o christ_n give_v we_o by_o grace_n be_v more_o abundant_o bestow_v upon_o we_o to_o life_n than_o adam_n offence_n be_v of_o power_n unto_o death_n second_o inrespect_n of_o that_o which_o follow_v there_o be_v two_o cause_n to_o wit_n guiltiness_n that_o come_v through_o that_o one_o offence_n of_o adam_n &_o justification_n that_o come_v of_o christ_n only_a righteousness_n neither_o say_v he_o be_v the_o gift_n so_o as_o that_o which_o enter_v by_o one_o that_o sin_v and_o he_o add_v the_o reason_n for_o say_v he_o the_o fault_n come_v of_o one_o offence_n to_o condemnation_n but_o the_o gift_n be_v of_o many_o offence_n to_o justification_n show_v that_o justification_n by_o christ_n be_v far_o more_o large_a than_o the_o cause_n of_o condemnation_n in_o adam_n see_v that_o not_o only_o that_o one_o sin_n which_o alone_o have_v bring_v condemnation_n on_o all_o man_n but_o all_o other_o our_o sin_n be_v forgive_v in_o christ_n &_o so_o the_o gift_n of_o grace_n abound_v much_o more_o &_o be_v of_o great_a measure_n they_o the_o guiltnes_n of_o the_o sin_n that_o be_v the_o cause_n of_o all_o man_n condennation_n thirdlie_o the_o apostle_n reason_v from_o the_o difference_n of_o power_n betwixt_o the_o death_n that_o follow_v upon_o the_o guiltiness_n of_o adam_n sin_n &_o the_o life_n that_o be_v give_v to_o they_o that_o be_v justify_v by_o the_o righteousness_n or_o obedience_n of_o christ_n jesus_n for_o say_v he_o if_o by_o one_o offence_n death_n reign_v through_o one_o much_o more_o shall_v they_o which_o receyve_v that_o abundance_n of_o grace_n and_o of_o that_o gift_n of_o it_o righteousness_n reign_n in_o life_n through_o one_o that_o be_v jesus_n christ_n the_o reason_n be_v employ_v in_o this_o sentence_n take_v from_o the_o abundance_n of_o grace_n and_o of_o the_o gift_n of_o that_o righteousness_n by_o all_o which_o the_o apostle_n will_v assure_v our_o heart_n that_o we_o who_o be_v partaker_n of_o the_o grace_n &_o mercy_n of_o god_n in_o christ_n shall_v be_v save_v &_o that_o in_o respect_n neither_o be_v adam_n sin_n so_o powerful_a to_o make_v guilty_a unto_o death_n as_o the_o righteousness_n of_o christ_n to_o justify_v unto_o life_n neither_o be_v the_o guiltiness_n come_v from_o adam_n only_a sin_n so_o abundant_a as_o the_o justification_n which_o be_v by_o christ_n only_a obedience_n see_v our_o guiltiness_n come_v from_o one_o fin_n but_o our_o justification_n be_v not_o only_o from_o that_o sin_n and_o guiltiness_n come_v from_o that_o sin_n but_o from_o all_o sin_n and_o guiltiness_n of_o they_o all_o neither_o be_v death_n which_o follow_v upon_o the_o guiltiness_n of_o that_o one_o sin_n of_o adam_n upon_o all_o man_n of_o such_o force_n to_o reign_v as_o the_o life_n that_o come_v to_o all_o they_o that_o be_v justify_v by_o that_o one_o obedience_n

subject_a in_o this_o life_n death_n come_v in_o betwixt_o we_o &_o our_o hope_n in_o christ_n and_o it_o seem_v to_o cut_v we_o utterlie_o from_o he_o &_o all_o fruition_n of_o his_o bliss_n for_o
