against_o all_o call_n and_o invitation_n to_o a_o speedy_a repentance_n upon_o the_o most_o deceitful_a ground_n imaginable_a because_o they_o read_v in_o the_o prophet_n ezek._n xviii_o 27._o when_o

hereafter_o as_o well_o as_o other_o have_v be_v now_o for_o man_n to_o flatter_v themselves_o thus_o upon_o so_o very_o slender_a ground_n be_v so_o very_o foolish_a a_o thing_n that_o one_o who_o consider_v not_o how_o much_o the_o love_n man_n have_v to_o sin_n be_v become_v too_o hard_o for_o their_o reason_n to_o answer_v how_o weak_o soever_o it_o plead_v for_o itself_o will_v exceed_o

accept_v of_o the_o true_a repentance_n of_o great_a sinner_n who_o have_v lie_v long_o in_o their_o sin_n without_o repentance_n and_o this_o be_v a_o good_a reason_n why_o one_o that_o have_v continue_v long_o in_o sin_n shall_v not_o despair_v but_o if_o he_o yet_o repent_v he_o may_v hope_v to_o be_v save_v but_o be_v it_o therefore_o as_o good_a a_o reason_n why_o he_o shall_v delay_v his_o repentance_n in_o hope_n to_o repent_v hereafter_o i_o have_v not_o yet_o say_v that_o no_o man_n who_o have_v be_v long_o a_o impenitent_a sinner_n can_v never_o repent_v or_o shall_v not_o be_v pardon_v if_o he_o repent_v though_o i_o be_o in_o doubt_n whether_o or_o no_o a_o sinner_n that_o repent_v not_o till_o he_o come_v to_o die_v can_v have_v a_o pardon_n upon_o so_o late_a a_o repentance_n but_o that_o which_o i_o have_v say_v be_v this_o that_o all_o delay_n of_o repentance_n be_v exceed_o sinful_a and_o therefore_o nothing_o ought_v to_o be_v plead_v for_o it_o no_o man_n shall_v dare_v to_o encourage_v himself_o in_o it_o it_o be_v a_o sin_n against_o the_o gospel_n of_o christ_n which_o be_v the_o only_a foundation_n sinner_n have_v to_o raise_v their_o hope_n of_o

to_o he_o who_o delay_v it_o it_o call_v sinner_n to_o repentance_n without_o exception_n whether_o they_o have_v be_v so_o a_o long_o or_o a_o short_a time_n and_o promise_v acceptance_n but_o do_v it_o allow_v they_o to_o take_v what_o time_n they_o please_v for_o it_o after_o they_o be_v call_v do_v it_o tell_v they_o that_o they_o may_v safe_o

consider_v both_o that_o the_o minister_n may_v take_v heed_n that_o he_o go_v not_o beyond_o his_o commission_n in_o comfort_v the_o sick_a and_o that_o we_o may_v all_o learn_v in_o due_a time_n how_o far_o we_o may_v build_v and_o rely_v on_o such_o comfort_n as_o man_n in_o such_o a_o case_n can_v administer_v unto_o we_o and_o therefore_o i_o here_o in_o answer_n to_o it_o say_v these_o thing_n first_o we_o very_o earnest_o exhort_v the_o worst_a of_o sinner_n even_o to_o the_o last_o gasp_n to_o repent_v of_o their_o sin_n because_o though_o we_o can_v assure_v they_o that_o god_n will_v now_o at_o the_o last_o hour_n accept_v of_o their_o late_a repentance_n see_v he_o have_v nowhere_o as_o be_v say_v before_o declare_v that_o he_o will_v and_o though_o by_o reason_n of_o what_o be_v say_v in_o his_o word_n concern_v his_o ordinary_a method_n of_o deal_n with_o sinner_n we_o be_v rather_o afraid_a that_o he_o will_v not_o yet_o we_o do_v not_o know_v the_o depth_n of_o god_n mercy_n nor_o the_o riches_n of_o his_o infinite_a goodness_n nor_o what_o he_o may_v be_v please_v to_o do_v in_o a_o extraordinary_a way_n if_o sinner_n at_o last_o use_v extraordinary_a endeavour_n and_o if_o by_o such_o motive_n and_o argument_n and_o prayer_n as_o we_o can_v use_v god_n seem_v to_o work_v mighty_o on_o the_o spirit_n of_o the_o die_a sinner_n though_o we_o dare_v not_o assure_v he_o of_o the_o life_n which_o god_n have_v not_o promise_v to_o a_o deathbed_n repentance_n and_o therefore_o we_o can_v be_v sure_a that_o he_o will_v give_v it_o yet_o dare_v we_o not_o leave_v he_o to_o despair_v because_o we_o know_v not_o but_o god_n may_v give_v it_o second_o we_o therefore_o exhort_v the_o worst_a of_o die_a sinner_n to_o repentance_n and_o declare_v unto_o they_o the_o gracious_a and_o comfortable_a promise_n which_o god_n in_o christ_n have_v make_v to_o all_o true_a penitent_n because_o god_n have_v command_v we_o to_o preach_v repentance_n unto_o sinner_n without_o exception_n and_o herein_o as_o we_o obey_v so_o we_o imitate_v our_o lord_n and_o master_n jesus_n christ_n who_o cease_v not_o to_o invite_v all_o sinner_n to_o repentance_n or_o to_o promise_v good_a thing_n to_o the_o penitent_a even_o when_o he_o who_o know_v the_o heart_n of_o all_o man_n know_v that_o many_o of_o they_o to_o who_o he_o preach_v will_v never_o repent_v nor_o become_v capable_a of_o the_o good_a thing_n promise_v god_n have_v bid_v we_o exhort_v to_o repentance_n but_o he_o have_v not_o tell_v we_o that_o we_o be_v to_o cease_v from_o exhort_v any_o one_o that_o will_v hear_v we_o so_o long_o as_o he_o live_v we_o can_v therefore_o excuse_v ourselves_o if_o we_o do_v not_o all_o we_o can_v to_o render_v they_o who_o will_v not_o repent_v inexcusable_a it_o will_v not_o be_v safe_a for_o we_o to_o leave_v they_o this_o plea_n that_o they_o want_v any_o mean_n or_o help_v at_o any_o time_n that_o we_o can_v afford_v they_o three_o we_o hold_v on_o to_o exhort_v even_o to_o the_o last_o because_o how_o near_o unto_o death_n soever_o the_o sinner_n may_v seem_v to_o be_v we_o know_v that_o the_o lord_n of_o life_n and_o death_n can_v raise_v he_o up_o again_o and_o we_o know_v not_o but_o he_o may_v do_v so_o and_o let_v he_o live_v yet_o long_o to_o complete_a the_o repentance_n which_o may_v now_o be_v begin_v god_n be_v please_v sometime_o by_o severe_a chastisement_n and_o heavy_a affliction_n to_o awake_a sinner_n to_o repentance_n who_o have_v live_v in_o sin_n secure_o many_o year_n and_o now_o when_o the_o sinner_n see_v himself_o at_o the_o pit_n brink_n and_o hell_n open_v its_o mouth_n to_o swallow_v he_o up_o he_o may_v possible_o think_v it_o fit_a to_o hearken_v to_o counsel_n of_o safety_n though_o no_o more_o can_v be_v say_v but_o possible_o he_o may_v yet_o be_v save_v we_o know_v not_o but_o now_o he_o may_v enter_v upon_o a_o repentance_n which_o though_o it_o will_v do_v he_o no_o good_a shall_v he_o now_o die_v may_v prove_v unto_o salvation_n if_o he_o recover_v and_o live_v to_o bring_v forth_o the_o fruit_n of_o it_o which_o god_n be_v yet_o able_a to_o make_v he_o do_v and_o have_v not_o tell_v we_o that_o he_o will_v not_o do_v last_o we_o to_o the_o very_a last_o exhort_v to_o repentance_n and_o mind_n die_v sinner_n of_o the_o promise_n of_o god_n to_o penitent_n because_o that_o whether_o it_o will_v then_o avail_v to_o salvation_n or_o no_o yet_o we_o be_v sure_a enough_o it_o can_v do_v they_o no_o hurt_n it_o be_v certain_o their_o duty_n to_o repent_v and_o we_o to_o exhort_v they_o to_o it_o and_o as_o it_o will_v hurt_v we_o to_o neglect_v our_o duty_n so_o can_v it_o not_o hurt_v they_o to_o be_v mind_v of_o they_o for_o sinner_n to_o be_v make_v sensible_a of_o their_o sin_n and_o of_o this_o aggravation_n of_o they_o that_o they_o have_v despise_v the_o comfort_n and_o promise_n of_o mercy_n to_o the_o penitent_a be_v a_o good_a thing_n whatever_o the_o end_n may_v be_v of_o such_o sinner_n god_n be_v glorify_v by_o man_n be_v bring_v to_o a_o sense_n and_o acknowledgement_n of_o his_o authority_n and_o goodness_n and_o of_o

our_o obstinacy_n glory_n be_v give_v to_o god_n and_o this_o aught_o to_o be_v do_v and_o if_o this_o will_v not_o qualify_v sinner_n for_o pardon_n and_o salvation_n it_o be_v however_o a_o part_n of_o their_o duty_n and_o may_v for_o aught_o we_o know_v mitigate_v the_o severity_n of_o their_o sentence_n and_o lessen_v their_o torment_n but_o now_o after_o this_o be_v say_v it_o be_v a_o very_a sad_a thing_n that_o man_n shall_v by_o wilful_a delay_n bring_v themselves_o into_o this_o uncomfortable_a condition_n and_o it_o be_v a_o very_a afflict_a thing_n to_o every_o good_a

without_o some_o extraordinary_a mean_n that_o he_o now_o have_v and_o therefore_o can_v tell_v how_o to_o apply_v the_o comfort_n to_o himself_o and_o this_o be_v very_o sad_a again_o the_o
