for_o mercy_n though_o it_o be_v a_o quality_n in_o we_o yet_o it_o be_v a_o nature_n in_o god_n now_o what_o be_v natural_a there_o be_v no_o unwillingness_n or_o weariness_n in_o do_v that_o as_o the_o eye_n be_v not_o weary_a with_o see_v nor_o the_o ear_n weary_a with_o hear_v therefore_o though_o our_o sin_n be_v never_o so_o great_a and_o many_o yet_o if_o this_o condition_n be_v observe_v that_o we_o lie_v in_o no_o know_a sin_n that_o we_o have_v a_o full_a and_o resolute_a purpose_n god_n bear_v witness_n to_o our_o conscience_n not_o to_o do_v the_o least_o evil_a nor_o omit_v the_o least_o good_a in_o a_o word_n that_o we_o make_v our_o heart_n perfect_a to_o god_n in_o all_o thing_n for_o without_o this_o conditon_n there_o be_v no_o remission_n of_o sin_n but_o if_o this_o condition_n be_v observe_v i_o say_v that_o although_o our_o sin_n be_v never_o so_o great_a any_o many_o yet_o they_o be_v not_o go_v beyond_o the_o price_n which_o have_v be_v pay_v for_o they_o nor_o beyond_o the_o grace_n of_o he_o with_o who_o we_o have_v to_o do_v for_o there_o be_v a_o fullness_n in_o he_o now_o i_o beseech_v you_o take_v not_o this_o exhortation_n in_o vain_a for_o there_o be_v nothing_o more_o effectual_a to_o heal_v a_o rebellious_a disposition_n to_o instil_v save_v grace_n to_o cause_v a_o finner_n to_o change_v his_o course_n then_o to_o be_v full_o persuade_v that_o he_o shall_v be_v receive_v to_o mercy_n and_o that_o his_o sin_n shall_v be_v forgive_v in_o christ_n even_o as_o the_o these_o while_o simile_n the_o 〈…〉_z e_o and_o cry_n be_v after_o he_o never_o return_v willing_o rebel_n and_o pirate_n while_o the_o proclamation_n of_o rebellion_n be_v out_o against_o they_o never_o come_v in_o but_o if_o there_o be_v a_o proclamation_n of_o pardon_n yea_o and_o of_o some_o great_a advancement_n if_o that_o be_v believe_v once_o that_o and_o note_v else_o cause_v they_o to_o come_v in_o and_o to_o become_v faithful_a and_o loyal_a subject_n therefore_o let_v this_o fullness_n of_o mercy_n in_o christ_n be_v a_o effectual_a motive_n to_o we_o all_o to_o come_v in_o to_o lay_v down_o the_o arm_n of_o rebellion_n to_o choose_v god_n for_o our_o good_a and_o to_o give_v up_o ourselves_o whole_o to_o he_o to_o serve_v he_o with_o perfect_a heart_n &_o willing_a mind_n all_o our_o day_n so_o much_o for_o the_o first_o part_n the_o second_o part_n i_o will_v as_o brief_o dispatch_v and_o not_o meddle_v with_o the_o three_o leave_v i_o be_v tedious_a of_o his_o fullness_n weo_fw-la have_v all_o receive_v whence_o the_o second_o point_n be_v that_o all_o grace_n be_v receive_v for_o as_o all_o star_n shine_v in_o the_o light_n of_o the_o sun_n so_o do_v all_o the_o saint_n through_o grace_n receive_v what_o else_o distinguish_v john_n from_o judas_n simon_n peter_n from_o simon_n magus_n but_o only_o christ_n who_o shine_v upon_o one_o and_o not_o upon_o another_o when_o they_o sit_v both_o alike_o in_o darkness_n and_o in_o the_o shadow_n of_o death_n the_o scripture_n be_v evident_a for_o this_o phil._n 2._o 13._o the_o deed_n be_v wrought_v in_o we_o by_o god_n and_o not_o the_o deed_n only_o but_o the_o will_v also_o which_o produce_v that_o deed_n nor_o that_o only_a but_o the_o thought_n also_o which_o beget_v that_o well_o for_o we_o be_v not_o able_a so_o much_o as_o to_o think_v a_o good_a thought_n of_o ourselves_o 2_o cor._n 3._o 5._o so_o that_o all_o grace_n yea_o all_o preparation_n to_o grace_n and_o ability_n to_o accept_v grace_n be_v all_o from_o god_n contrary_a to_o what_o arminius_n affirm_v and_o not_o of_o ourselves_o and_o that_o for_o these_o reason_n because_o nothing_o can_v work_v beyond_o the_o sphere_n of_o we_o own_o reach_n the_o effect_n exceed_v not_o the_o cause_n therefore_o it_o be_v impossible_a for_o corrupt_a nature_n either_o to_o beget_v supernatural_a grace_n or_o to_o do_v any_o action_n prepare_v or_o bend_v or_o incline_v the_o

to_o convert_v or_o not_o to_o convert_v their_o only_a answer_n here_o be_v that_o see_v god_n have_v make_v a_o decree_n that_o man_n shall_v be_v a_o free_a agent_n though_o he_o do_v most_o

but_o a_o man_n may_v accept_v it_o or_o reject_v it_o as_o he_o will_v how_o can_v it_o be_v solve_v but_o that_o a_o man_n must_v rejoice_v and_o boast_v partly_o in_o himself_o contrary_a to_o
