if_o we_o consider_v it_o as_o a_o petition_n for_o the_o enlargement_n of_o the_o evidence_n and_o manifestation_n of_o grace_n so_o it_o be_v good_a for_o grace_n can_v be_v manifest_v till_o it_o

god_n spirit_n be_v powerful_a to_o subdue_v and_o crucify_v sin_n then_o it_o be_v this_o demonstration_n they_o beg_v in_o the_o second_o place_n pardon_v our_o iniquity_n and_o give_v we_o evidence_n that_o our_o sin_n be_v pardon_v that_o thy_o spirit_n affist_n we_o continual_o to_o crucify_v and_o subdue_v our_o sin_n bestow_v upon_o we_o grace_n and_o favour_n and_o make_v we_o know_v that_o we_o have_v it_o for_o as_o our_o happiness_n consist_v in_o the_o pardon_n of_o our_o sin_n so_o the_o comfort_n consist_v in_o the_o enjoy_n of_o it_o it_o be_v true_a that_o grace_n and_o pardon_n of_o sin_n may_v be_v have_v where_o it_o be_v not_o at_o all_o time_n see_v and_o feel_v and_o perceive_v but_o yet_o it_o can_v be_v enjoy_v unless_o it_o be_v see_v and_o feel_v we_o

when_o god_n have_v pardon_v and_o have_v show_v grace_n the_o faithful_a soul_n stay_v not_o there_o it_o be_v a_o heaven_n upon_o earth_n to_o have_v the_o comfort_n and_o assurance_n and_o

for_o more_o assurance_n and_o still_o for_o more_o assurance_n because_o there_o may_v be_v enlargement_n of_o assurance_n still_o as_o long_o as_o we_o be_v in_o these_o day_n of_o misery_n however_o it_o please_v our_o adversary_n of_o rome_n to_o make_v a_o mock_n of_o the_o certainty_n of_o salvation_n the_o assurance_n of_o grace_n they_o pin_v many_o scorn_n upon_o it_o in_o their_o

the_o saint_n in_o scripture_n do_v not_o so_o they_o direct_v their_o prayer_n oft_o time_n not_o only_o for_o the_o thing_n but_o for_o the_o comfort_n and_o assurance_n of_o it_o and_o as_o they_o

can_v be_v do_v but_o by_o the_o bath_n that_o be_v take_v from_o christ_n and_o the_o mercy_n of_o god_n the_o jew_n that_o be_v ignorant_a and_o know_v nothing_o in_o the_o time_n of_o christ_n

out_o god_n and_o christ_n unless_o he_o have_v be_v god_n can_v not_o have_v forgive_v sin_n who_o can_v forgive_v sin_n but_o god_n cyr●l_n well_o upon_o the_o place_n give_v the_o reason_n it_o must_v needs_o be_v so_o because_o god_n be_v the_o lawgiver_n and_o the_o judge_n say_v he_o to_o who_o can_v it_o possible_o belong_v to_o pardon_v and_o pass_v by_o and_o wipe_v away_o the_o transgression_n of_o the_o law_n but_o to_o he_o that_o be_v the_o giver_n of_o the_o law_n therefore_o none_o of_o the_o prophet_n or_o apostle_n dare_v ever_o arrogate_v this_o privilege_n nathan_n when_o he_o be_v send_v to_o david_n though_o he_o have_v a_o commission_n from_o god_n dare_v not_o speak_v in_o his_o own_o name_n but_o the_o lord_n have_v pardon_v and_o if_o there_o be_v no_o prophet_n or_o apostle_n dare_v assume_v so_o much_o shall_v we_o that_o be_v man_n far_o inferior_a in_o place_n and_o piety_n and_o those_o special_a intercourse_n of_o the_o love_n and_o knowledge_n of_o god_n it_o be_v true_a there_o be_v a_o power_n give_v to_o minister_n declaratorie_n to_o publish_v and_o pronounce_v pardon_n to_o the_o true_o repentant_a but_o the_o power_n of_o

that_o that_o belong_v to_o his_o duty_n when_o he_o declare_v and_o publish_v pardon_n to_o the_o repentant_a but_o he_o exercise_v not_o any_o power_n and_o authority_n it_o be_v but_o ministerial_a therefore_o saint_n austin_n observe_v well_o that_o when_o christ_n give_v this_o power_n to_o his_o apostle_n and_o disciple_n who_o sin_n you_o remit_v they_o be_v remit_v he_o first_o premise_v he_o breathe_v on_o they_o and_o say_v receive_v you_o the_o holy_a ghost_n say_v he_o first_o they_o receive_v the_o holy_a ghost_n and_o then_o who_o sin_n yeremit_fw-la they_o be_v remit_v for_o it_o be_v the_o holy_a ghost_n that_o put_v away_o sin_n and_o not_o you_o it_o be_v augustine_n observation_n and_o we_o may_v further_o observe_v that_o christ_n when_o he_o heal_v any_o common_o he_o pronounce_v forgiveness_n of_o sin_n but_o the_o apostle_n though_o they_o heal_v many_o yet_o we_o never_o read_v that_o they_o use_v this_o word_n to_o note_v that_o christ_n give_v the_o

himself_o for_o it_o be_v a_o act_n of_o majesty_n it_o can_v be_v so_o to_o other_o god_n may_v make_v angel_n to_o declare_v it_o or_o man_n but_o the_o power_n be_v proper_a to_o he_o christ_n

of_o god_n be_v more_o heavy_a than_o any_o judgement_n there_o be_v no_o judgement_n that_o be_v a_o judgement_n if_o the_o wrath_n and_o displeasure_n of_o god_n go_v not_o with_o it_o for_o when_o

therefore_o the_o child_n of_o god_n pray_v for_o spirituall_n before_o temporall_n again_o there_o be_v no_o proportion_n between_o temporal_a and_o spiritual_a judgement_n therefore_o they_o pray_v

in_o this_o world_n but_o more_o for_o the_o hope_n of_o life_n in_o another_o world_n many_o thanks_o be_v due_a for_o creation_n but_o more_o for_o redemption_n for_o in_o create_v we_o he_o make_v

remove_v temporal_a plague_n but_o more_o for_o the_o remove_n of_o his_o wrath_n and_o our_o sin_n therefore_o the_o prophet_n will_v have_v they_o understand_v that_o as_o they_o pray_v first_o take_v away_o iniquity_n so_o they_o shall_v give_v thanks_o in_o that_o order_n when_o their_o iniquity_n be_v take_v away_o than_o they_o shall_v thank_v god_n for_o the_o pardon_n of_o their_o

without_o condition_n as_o we_o pray_v for_o they_o more_o fervent_o so_o we_o shall_v be_v thankful_a for_o they_o with_o more_o enlarge_v heart_n so_o in_o take_v away_o temporal_a thing_n we_o give_v thanks_o as_o job_n do_v but_o in_o spiritual_a thing_n we_o give_v thanks_o when_o god_n give_v they_o but_o none_o give_v thanks_o for_o the_o take_v they_o away_o it_o be_v true_a when_o god_n withhold_v grace_n he_o can_v make_v grace_n grow_v out_o of_o that_o separation_n from_o himself_o but_o that_o be_v by_o accident_n that_o the_o want_n of_o grace_n shall_v be_v a_o mean_n of_o the_o propagate_a of_o grace_n but_o proper_o and_o direct_o none_o can_v rejoice_v in_o the_o take_n away_o of_o grace_n we_o give_v thanks_o for_o temporall_n when_o we_o want_v they_o but_o for_o spirituall_n only_o when_o we_o have_v they_o that_o be_v the_o second_o thing_n three_o another_o thing_n he_o will_v instruct_v they_o in_o by_o add_v this_o clause_n be_v this_o that_o
