increase_v of_o beam_n and_o heat_n and_o here_o i_o think_v it_o be_v worth_a the_o observe_n that_o there_o be_v certain_a sin_n that_o be_v certain_o know_v to_o be_v sin_n yet_o while_o the_o strength_n of_o tentation_n be_v upon_o the_o saint_n they_o partake_v very_o much_o of_o the_o concealment_n of_o secret_a sin_n for_o the_o same_o lust_n and_o corruption_n that_o prevail_v upon_o the_o will_n of_o a_o saint_n to_o do_v so_o great_a a_o sin_n against_o which_o his_o will_n be_v determinate_o bend_v and_o resolve_v cast_v also_o very_o common_o a_o mist_n on_o the_o understanding_n of_o the_o same_o saint_n that_o the_o thing_n former_o appear_v out_o of_o measure_n sinful_a now_o do_v not_o look_v like_o a_o sin_n for_o the_o flesh_n have_v darken_v the_o understanding_n for_o a_o season_n that_o appear_v not_o in_o the_o shape_n and_o odiousness_n of_o sin_n to_o the_o flesh_n which_o most_o plain_o and_o evident_o appear_v sinful_a be_v see_v by_o the_o spirit_n and_o therefore_o a_o saint_n after_o a_o great_a sin_n when_o he_o come_v true_o to_o discern_v it_o be_v like_o a_o man_n awake_v awake_v i_o say_v out_o of_o a_o slumber_n of_o the_o

discern_v so_o david_n have_v need_n of_o a_o plain_a similitude_n to_o convince_v he_o of_o a_o sin_n that_o be_v in_o itself_o plain_a enough_o but_o no_o doubt_n by_o lust_n so_o cover_v and_o hide_v from_o appear_v in_o the_o true_a shape_n of_o sin_n that_o before_o this_o discovery_n which_o awake_v the_o spirit_n in_o he_o he_o have_v not_o the_o full_a and_o true_a sight_n of_o the_o odious_a and_o ugly_a face_n of_o his_o sin_n brief_o vzzah_n who_o die_v in_o his_o sin_n be_v save_v or_o damn_v i_o think_v no_o man_n will_v be_v so_o cruel_a as_o to_o say_v he_o be_v damn_v we_o see_v he_o have_v a_o good_a affection_n to_o the_o ark_n of_o god_n and_o no_o doubt_n a_o good_a love_n to_o god_n for_o who_o sake_n he_o love_v the_o ark_n but_o his_o good_a love_n be_v ill_o manage_v &_o the_o wrath_n of_o god_n come_v upon_o he_o because_o he_o serve_v that_o god_n in_o a_o ill_a manner_n who_o no_o doubt_n he_o love_v with_o a_o good_a zeal_n and_o affection_n now_o if_o vzzah_n be_v save_v by_o this_o doctrine_n he_o must_v actual_o repent_v of_o this_o sin_n which_o be_v so_o mortal_a to_o he_o but_o first_o we_o read_v of_o no_o such_o actual_a repentance_n and_o next_o the_o suddenness_n of_o the_o stroke_n may_v seem_v to_o prevent_v it_o but_o on_o the_o other_o side_n if_o he_o do_v actual_o repent_v then_o may_v any_o saint_n else_o be_v think_v actual_o to_o repent_v and_o so_o this_o question_n be_v again_o needless_a as_o before_o be_v prove_v to_o be_v absurd_a and_o sure_o he_o which_o give_v jezabel_n that_o sedu●…d_v the_o servant_n of_o god_n a_o space_n to_o repent_v may_v be_v think_v to_o be_v at_o least_o as_o gracious_a to_o the_o spouse_n of_o christ_n his_o saint_n and_o member_n even_o to_o give_v they_o this_o space_n to_o repent_v to_o who_o we_o know_v he_o have_v give_v the_o grace_n to_o repent_v if_o they_o do_v now_o reply_v be_v saint_n immortal_a have_v sin_v i_o answer_v by_o ask_v again_o be_v jezabell_n immortal_a when_o god_n give_v her_o lpace_n to_o repent_v beside_o no_o death_n can_v prevent_v god_n mercy_n god_n know_v the_o time_n of_o his_o saint_n and_o if_o sparrow_n fall_v not_o to_o the_o ground_n without_o god_n providence_n much_o less_o do_v saint_n god_n have_v the_o time_n of_o saint_n in_o his_o hand_n and_o the_o same_o god_n have_v also_o grace_n in_o his_o hand_n and_o therefore_o nothing_o can_v hinder_v he_o but_o that_o he_o may_v prevent_v the_o time_n which_o he_o have_v in_o one_o hand_n with_o the_o grace_n which_o he_o have_v in_o a_o other_o yea_o as_o he_o be_v the_o lord_n both_o of_o life_n and_o grace_n so_o be_v he_o of_o tentation_n therefore_o as_o he_o can_v command_v time_n to_o stay_v and_o grace_n to_o hasten_v so_o also_o can_v he_o command_v tentation_n to_o take_v what_o time_n he_o please_v and_o can_v make_v they_o to_o keep_v what_o distance_n he_o will_v to_o the_o last_o time_n of_o the_o saint_n yet_o i_o may_v add_v further_o and_o i_o think_v that_o arminian_o can_v hardly_o disprove_v it_o if_o a_o saint_n have_v in_o he_o the_o grace_n of_o repentance_n which_o will_v bring_v forth_o the_o act_n of_o repentance_n if_o it_o have_v time_n it_o be_v somewhat_o strange_a that_o a_o saint_n shall_v be_v damn_v not_o for_o want_v of_o grace_n but_o only_o for_o want_n of_o time_n now_o the_o remain_a grace_n of_o repentance_n after_o the_o fall_n of_o saint_n appear_v before_o in_o david_n hezekiah_n and_o peter_n who_o ready_o repent_v upon_o their_o summons_n and_o even_o bertius_fw-la himself_o confess_v that_o neither_o david_n nor_o peter_n in_o their_o fall_n do_v whole_o loose_v the_o holy_a ghost_n three_o this_o question_n be_v ground_v on_o the_o popish_a distinction_n of_o sin_n mortal_a and_o venial_a a_o distinction_n which_o doctor_n francis_n white_a in_o his_o orthodox_n have_v with_o sound_a reason_n and_o allegation_n mighty_o batter_v there_o it_o be_v say_v by_o he_o that_o concupiscence_n be_v as_o very_o sin_n as_o adultery_n and_o that_o there_o be_v a_o plain_a commandment_n against_o it_o now_o the_o breach_n of_o any_o commandment_n especial_o the_o body_n of_o

of_o this_o question_n or_o objection_n first_o a_o man_n be_v in_o perpetual_a fear_n &_o torment_n because_o such_o lust_n do_v so_o often_o arise_v in_o he_o second_o this_o objection_n have_v
