now_o the_o way_n to_o cure_v this_o spring_n be_v 1._o to_o renew_v our_o sorrow_n to_o set_v upon_o the_o fountain_n david_n david_n david_n do_v so_o after_o his_o great_a sin_n and_o so_o do_v peter_n the_o one_o do_v peter_n peter_n water_v his_o couch_n and_o his_o tear_n be_v his_o meat_n day_n and_o night_n and_o the_o other_o go_v out_o and_o weep_v bitter_o bitterness_n of_o sorrow_n you_o read_v of_o it_o in_o zach._n 12._o 10._o import_v anguish_n bitterness_n what_o it_o import_v 1._o anguish_n 1._o a_o anguish_n of_o spirit_n as_o david_n say_v for_o his_o jonathan_n my_o soul_n be_v distress_v for_o thou_o so_o here_o the_o fall_v christian_a be_v distress_v for_o sin_v thus_o against_o his_o god_n for_o lose_v his_o god_n there_o be_v oft_o time_n a_o very_a tear_v and_o rent_v in_o the_o soul_n 2._o a_o sensible_a fullness_n of_o grief_n 2_o fullness_n of_o grief_n grief_n as_o joseph_n be_v full_a of_o compassion_n and_o his_o bowel_n can_v hold_v no_o long_o upon_o the_o oration_n of_o judah_n so_o the_o fall_a christian_n be_v full_a of_o holy_a melt_n his_o heart_n
conscience_n condemn_v thy_o person_n i_o confess_v thou_o have_v no_o reason_n to_o believe_v mercy_n for_o thyself_o if_o thy_o conscience_n tell_v thou_o to_o the_o face_n of_o god_n thou_o be_v in_o a_o foul_a sinful_a course_n and_o have_v be_v call_v upon_o by_o the_o voice_n of_o the_o word_n and_o its_o voice_n to_o come_v out_o of_o it_o and_o thou_o do_v not_o leave_v it_o nay_o be_v resolve_v to_o pursue_v it_o and_o to_o insist_v on_o it_o now_o god_n be_v great_a than_o thy_o conscience_n and_o will_v assure_o condemn_v thou_o 2._o if_o conscience_n condemn_v thy_o action_n only_o than_o thou_o may_v notwithstanding_o that_o condemnation_n believe_v on_o mercy_n my_o meaning_n be_v this_o though_o the_o conscience_n by_o its_o discerm_n light_a represent_v unto_o thou_o much_o sinfulness_n in_o thy_o nature_n and_o former_a course_n and_o though_o it_o do_v condemn_v these_o to_o be_v vile_a and_o most_o fit_a to_o be_v crucify_v abhor_a and_o forsake_v this_o condemnation_n hinder_v not_o the_o right_a of_o believe_v nay_o no_o man_n indeed_o shall_v believe_v unless_o his_o conscience_n do_v condemn_v sin_n in_o he_o not_o only_o show_v he_o his_o sin_n but_o assure_v he_o that_o they_o be_v evil_a and_o unworthy_a his_o love_n nay_o most_o worthy_a of_o his_o detestation_n and_o mortification_n 2._o second_o you_o must_v distinguish_v of_o time_n when_o conscience_n do_v condemn_v a_o man_n there_o be_v two_o time_n of_o a_o christian_n 1._o some_o be_v open_a and_o free_a he_o be_v himself_o and_o beside_o that_o he_o hear_v both_o party_n as_o well_o what_o be_v for_o himself_o as_o what_o be_v against_o himself_o yea_o and_o weigh_v matter_n in_o controversy_n in_o the_o right_a balance_n of_o god_n sanctuary_n not_o in_o satan_n balance_n of_o cunning_a suggestion_n will_v conscience_n condemn_v thy_o person_n at_o such_o a_o time_n and_o under_o such_o circumstance_n nay_o will_v not_o the_o word_n of_o god_n acquit_v thou_o at_o such_o a_o time_n against_o all_o fear_n for_o the_o substance_n and_o reality_n of_o a_o pious_a condition_n 2._o some_o be_v cloud_v &_o darken_v either_o with_o melancholy_n or_o affliction_n or_o temptation_n wherein_o the_o christian_a see_v his_o face_n through_o a_o false_a glass_n just_a as_o a_o title_n be_v make_v by_o a_o deceitful_a &_o cunning_a lawyer_n not_o according_a to_o truth_n not_o all_o of_o it_o but_o some_o of_o it_o what_o be_v pass_v heretofore_o for_o action_n and_o affection_n or_o what_o have_v fall_v out_o not_o in_o the_o course_n of_o life_n since_o a_o man_n conversion_n but_o only_o in_o case_n of_o surprisal_n and_o captivity_n now_o perhaps_o conscience_n may_v condemn_v thou_o but_o this_o be_v a_o illegal_a sentence_n it_o be_v a_o corrupt_a judgement_n and_o be_v reversible_a god_n will_v not_o judge_v of_o thou_o as_o conscience_n in_o such_o a_o case_n do_v nay_o he_o will_v repeal_v it_o and_o disannul_v it_o 4._o a_o four_o cause_n of_o doubt_n be_v a_o fear_n lest_o a_o man_n have_v sin_v that_o great_a sin_n against_o the_o holy_a ghost_n and_o the_o main_a inducement_n to_o credit_v this_o be_v a_o sin_v against_o clear_a knowledge_n which_o be_v one_o ingredient_n in_o that_o sin_n now_o this_o be_v my_o condition_n say_v a_o trouble_a soul_n i_o have_v not_o only_o sin_v but_o sin_v against_o light_n shine_v in_o the_o ministry_n and_o work_v on_o my_o conscience_n therefore_o i_o may_v rather_o conclude_v then_o question_v it_o mercy_n belong_v not_o to_o i_o to_o help_v a_o conscience_n thus_o sol._n enthral_a i_o will_v wish_v that_o such_o a_o person_n will_v 1._o be_v inform_v 2._o be_v direct_v 1._o the_o information_n which_o i_o will_v commend_v in_o this_o case_n be_v fourfold_a first_o that_o the_o sin_n against_o the_o holy_a ghost_n be_v not_o any_o sin_n which_o a_o man_n commit_v through_o ignorance_n whatsoever_o the_o sin_n or_o sin_n have_v be_v whereof_o the_o party_n stand_v guilty_a whether_o against_o the_o law_n or_o against_o the_o gospel_n suppose_v it_o be_v one_o or_o many_o heinous_a sin_n yet_o if_o the_o person_n be_v in_o a_o state_n of_o blindness_n and_o ignorance_n if_o there_o be_v a_o nescience_n of_o the_o fact_n if_o he_o know_v not_o what_o he_o do_v this_o ignorance_n privilege_v the_o sinning_n thus_o far_o that_o therefore_o they_o be_v not_o the_o sin_n against_o the_o holy_a ghost_n second_o the_o sin_n against_o the_o holy_a ghost_n be_v not_o any_o sin_n against_o the_o gospel_n which_o be_v elicit_v and_o act_v through_o a_o misbelief_n or_o misperswasion_n if_o the_o sin_n be_v a_o slight_v of_o evangelicall_a doctrine_n nay_o a_o persecute_v of_o they_o and_o of_o the_o professor_n of_o they_o yet_o if_o these_o act_n of_o opposition_n depend_v total_o on_o error_n in_o the_o judgement_n on_o a_o judgement_n mispersuaded_n i_o rather_o believe_v they_o not_o to_o be_v truth_n rather_o think_v those_o way_n to_o be_v false_a way_n i_o say_v this_o misbelief_n preserve_v such_o sinning_n yet_o from_o be_v sin_n against_o the_o holy_a 13._o 1_o tim._n 1._o 13._o ghost_n because_o the_o sin_n against_o the_o
