6.6_o psal_n
read_v in_o his_o conscience_n but_o above_o all_o his_o darling-delight_n his_o belove_a sin_n be_v write_v in_o great_a character_n this_o he_o find_v to_o have_v bewitch_v he_o most_o and_o to_o have_v domineer_v above_o all_o the_o rest_n in_o his_o waste_a conscience_n this_o sin_n in_o some_o be_v worldliness_n wantonness_n usury_n pride_n revenge_n or_o the_o like_a in_o other_o it_o be_v drunkenness_n gluttony_n game_n scurril_a jest_n simony_n or_o the_o like_a whatsoever_o it_o be_v the_o conscience_n tell_v he_o of_o it_o again_o and_o again_o where_o that_o he_o may_v read_v it_o together_o with_o his_o other_o sin_n the_o spirit_n of_o god_n now_o open_v the_o eye_n of_o his_o mind_n and_o let_v he_o see_v the_o very_a mud_n and_o filth_n of_o his_o soul_n that_o lie_v at_o the_o bottom_n before_o unseen_a and_o undiscerned_a thus_o be_v the_o first_o work_v of_o the_o new_a life_n to_o wit_n a_o feel_n of_o the_o old_a death_n of_o his_o soul_n in_o sin_n and_o trespass_n and_o here_o the_o axiom_n be_v true_a no_o generation_n without_o corruption_n a_o man_n must_v first_o feel_v this_o death_n before_o he_o be_v bear_v again_o the_o second_o step_n be_v sense_n of_o divine_a wrath_n which_o beget_v in_o he_o fear_v 8.15_o rom._n 8.15_o so_o the_o apostle_n the_o spirit_n of_o bondage_n beget_v fear_n rom._n 8.15_o and_o thus_o it_o work_v no_o soon_o have_v the_o man_n a_o sight_n and_o feel_n of_o his_o sin_n but_o than_o god_n spirit_n now_o call_v the_o spirit_n of_o bondage_n present_v to_o he_o the_o armoury_n of_o god_n flame_a wrath_n and_o fiery_a indignation_n this_o make_v he_o to_o feel_v as_o if_o he_o be_v prick_v with_o the_o stroke_n of_o a_o arrow_n or_o point_n of_o a_o sword_n or_o sting_v of_o a_o adder_n that_o he_o be_v a_o most_o curse_a and_o damnable_a creature_n just_o deserve_v all_o the_o misery_n of_o this_o life_n and_o all_o the_o fiery_a torment_n of_o hell_n in_o that_o life_n to_o come_v yea_o this_o make_v he_o tremble_v and_o stand_v and_o look_v as_o if_o he_o be_v thorough_o fright_v with_o the_o angry_a countenance_n of_o god_n almighty_n will_v you_o view_v he_o in_o this_o case_n his_o conscience_n have_v now_o awake_v he_o out_o of_o his_o dead_a sensual_a sleep_n by_o the_o trumpet_n of_o the_o law_n his_o heart_n be_v now_o scorch_v with_o the_o secret_a sense_n of_o god_n angry_a face_n his_o soul_n be_v now_o full_a sore_o crush_v under_o the_o most_o grievous_a burden_n of_o innumerable_a sin_n his_o thought_n be_v now_o full_a of_o fear_n and_o astonishment_n as_o if_o no_o less_o than_o very_a hell_n and_o horror_n be_v ready_a to_o seize_v upon_o his_o body_n and_o soul_n i_o say_v not_o what_o measure_n of_o this_o wrath_n be_v pour_v on_o all_o man_n in_o their_o conversion_n for_o i_o suppose_v some_o feel_v more_o and_o some_o have_v less_o of_o it_o but_o i_o very_o believe_v some_o there_o be_v that_o in_o these_o pang_n of_o the_o new_a birth_n have_v be_v scorch_v as_o it_o be_v with_o the_o very_a flame_n of_o hell_n insomuch_o that_o they_o may_v true_o say_v with_o david_n god_n wrath_n lie_v hard_a upon_o i_o 88.7_o psal_n 88.7_o and_o he_o have_v afflict_v i_o with_o all_o his_o wave_n psal_n 88.7_o and_o no_o wonder_n for_o this_o be_v the_o time_n of_o fear_n now_o it_o be_v that_o satan_n strive_v busy_o to_o stifle_v the_o new_a man_n in_o the_o womb_n and_o therefore_o he_o that_o before_o diminish_v his_o sin_n and_o make_v they_o appear_v little_a or_o nothing_o in_o his_o eye_n when_o he_o once_o see_v the_o man_n smite_v down_o into_o the_o place_n of_o dragon_n and_o cover_v with_o the_o shadow_n of_o death_n 44.19_o psal_n 44.19_o than_o he_o put_v into_o his_o mind_n his_o innumerable_a sin_n and_o that_o which_o immediate_o follow_v the_o curse_n of_o the_o law_n and_o the_o wrath_n of_o god_n which_o he_o yet_o make_v more_o grisly_a and_o fierce_a with_o a_o purpose_n to_o plunge_v he_o into_o the_o bottomless_a pit_n of_o horror_n and_o despair_n by_o this_o mean_n he_o persuade_v cain_n to_o cry_v out_o when_o he_o be_v in_o this_o case_n my_o punishment_n be_v great_a than_o i_o can_v bear_v or_o 4.13_o gen._n 4.13_o as_o other_o translate_v my_o iniquity_n be_v great_a than_o can_v be_v forgive_v gen._n 4.13_o and_o therefore_o thus_o far_o the_o unregenerate_a go_v with_o the_o man_n bear_v again_o both_o have_v a_o sight_n of_o sin_n and_o sense_n of_o wrath_n but_o here_o they_o part_v for_o the_o man_n unregenerate_v either_o sink_n under_o it_o or_o labour_n to_o allay_v it_o with_o worldly_a comfort_n or_o some_o counterfeit_n calm_a but_o the_o man_n bear_v again_o be_v only_o humble_v by_o it_o and_o seek_v the_o right_a way_n to_o cure_v it_o and_o at_o last_o by_o the_o help_n of_o god_n spirit_n he_o pass_v quite_o through_o it_o i_o mean_v through_o this_o hell_n upon_o earth_n into_o the_o spiritual_a pleasure_n of_o the_o kingdom_n of_o grace_n which_o be_v to_o be_v bear_v again_o the_o three_o step_n be_v sorrow_n for_o sin_n and_o this_o be_v more_o peculiar_a to_o god_n child_n there_o be_v a_o sorrow_n which_o be_v a_o common_a work_n of_o grace_n which_o a_o hypocrite_n may_v have_v and_o there_o be_v a_o sorrow_n which_o be_v a_o work_n of_o special_a grace_n and_o this_o likewise_o precede_v the_o exercise_n of_o faith_n but_o some_o

go_v before_o sorrow_n i_o answer_v although_o it_o be_v true_a that_o christ_n can_v be_v in_o the_o soul_n but_o in_o the_o same_o instant_n there_o be_v the_o habit_n of_o faith_n yet_o it_o

or_o repentance_n before_o faith_n the_o question_n be_v not_o which_o the_o soul_n have_v first_o in_o respect_n of_o god_n gift_n but_o which_o it_o act_v first_o for_o our_o apprehension_n sure_o to_o we_o it_o first_o sorrow_n for_o sin_n and_o then_o it_o act_n or_o exercise_v faith_n by_o come_v to_o christ_n and_o rely_v upon_o christ_n for_o salvation_n etc._n etc._n he_o grieve_v not_o

of_o his_o sorrow_n in_o that_o he_o be_v so_o wicked_a so_o sinful_a so_o rebellious_a so_o contrary_a to_o god_n this_o sin_n i_o say_v be_v it_o wherein_o he_o be_v conceive_v and_o bear_v

some_o reconcile_v it_o thus_o repentance_n have_v two_o part_n the_o aversion_n of_o the_o soul_n from_o sin_n and_o the_o conversion_n of_o the_o soul_n to_o god_n the_o latter_a part_n of_o it_o be_v only_o a_o effect_n of_o faith_n the_o former_a part_n of_o it_o viz._n the_o turn_n of_o the_o soul_n from_o sin_n be_v also_o a_o effect_n but_o not_o only_o a_o effect_n for_o it_o be_v
