full_a of_o old_a fester_a wound_n you_o must_v have_v corasive_n salve_n for_o that_o be_v the_o best_a for_o you_o and_o the_o speedy_a way_n to_o recover_v your_o health_n and_o for_o as_o much_o as_o you_o be_v rough_a horse_n you_o must_v have_v a_o rough_a rider_n and_o hard_a knobbie_n timber_n must_v have_v hard_a wedge_n and_o hard_a stroke_n with_o a_o béetle_n we_o preach_v the_o law_n to_o drive_v you_o to_o christ_n we_o preach_v judgemente_n to_o make_v you_o seek_v mercy_n we_o preach_v damnation_n to_o bring_v you_o to_o salvation_n but_o to_o preach_v mercy_n and_o forgiveness_n before_o man_n see_v their_o sin_n or_o know_v their_o misery_n by_o the_o preach_n of_o the_o law_n be_v to_o preach_v the_o gospel_n unprofitable_o for_o he_o that_o be_v ignorant_a of_o the_o law_n know_v not_o what_o misery_n be_v in_o himself_o nor_o what_o mercy_n be_v in_o god_n what_o father_n be_v there_o who_o if_o his_o child_n shall_v play_v the_o stubborn_a boy_n and_o disobey_v he_o in_o every_o thing_n he_o command_v will_v stroke_v his_o head_n and_o say_v he_o be_v a_o good_a boy_n and_o not_o rather_o severe_o correct_v he_o and_o whip_v he_o with_o a_o rod_n what_o master_n will_v commend_v his_o servant_n for_o do_v what_o he_o listen_v and_o not_o what_o he_o command_v he_o even_o so_o we_o may_v not_o disobey_v and_o do_v evil_a and_o look_v to_o he_o flatter_v too_o and_o not_o rather_o chide_v let_v we_o know_v then_o that_o although_o god_n use_v sear_v lance_a corze_a and_o search_v of_o the_o bone_n and_o other_o violent_a remedy_n yet_o in_o the_o mean_a while_o he_o procure_v our_o health_n by_o they_o and_o let_v we_o further_o understand_v that_o forasmuch_o as_o there_o be_v none_o other_o mean_n to_o draw_v we_o unto_o salvation_n but_o by_o cleanse_v of_o all_o our_o vice_n and_o the_o same_o cleanse_n can_v not_o be_v do_v but_o by_o violence_n when_o we_o be_v warn_v by_o the_o doctrine_n of_o the_o law_n so_o as_o our_o own_o conscience_n accuse_v us._n although_o we_o like_v well_o to_o be_v now_o and_o then_o flatter_v and_o soothe_v yet_o let_v we_o seek_v to_o be_v speak_v unto_o earnest_o and_o to_o have_v our_o fault_n tell_v we_o and_o to_o be_v make_v ashamed_a of_o they_o and_o to_o have_v our_o unhonesty_n discover_v &_o not_o desire_v to_o be_v please_v for_o it_o be_v the_o next_o way_n to_o make_v we_o rot_v in_o our_o own_o filthiness_n if_o we_o shall_v hold_v it_o so_o in_o secret_a &_o it_o will_v cost_v we_o dear_a the_o set_n on_o if_o we_o shall_v be_v so_o flatter_v by_o man_n and_o in_o the_o mean_a season_n the_o heavenly_a judge_n shall_v thunder_v down_o upon_o us._n therefore_o when_o any_o man_n come_v to_o a_o sermon_n let_v he_o first_o and_o foremost_a make_v his_o reckon_n to_o be_v rebuke_v as_o meet_v be_v and_o let_v he_o understande_v that_o it_o be_v for_o his_o profit_n that_o he_o be_v not_o soothe_v and_o if_o he_o have_v itch_a ear_n let_v he_o lay_v they_o away_o from_o he_o assure_v himself_o that_o else_o he_o be_v foreclose_v so_o as_o he_o shall_v never_o receive_v the_o doctrine_n to_o his_o profit_n and_o instruction_n and_o let_v he_o be_v content_a to_o have_v his_o sore_n rub_v and_o bewray_v that_o he_o may_v be_v bring_v to_o that_o which_o be_v for_o his_o welfare_n if_o a_o man_n please_v a_o sick_a body_n what_o shall_v become_v of_o he_o shall_v he_o give_v he_o drink_v every_o minute_n of_o a_o hour_n shall_v he_o give_v he_o wine_n whereas_o he_o shall_v give_v he_o water_n shall_v he_o give_v he_o salad_n it_o be_v the_o next_o way_n to_o poison_v he_o to_o be_v short_a it_o be_v certain_a that_o a_o man_n do_v always_o seek_v his_o own_o death_n when_o he_o will_v have_v man_n to_o soothe_v he_o but_o now_o which_o be_v better_a either_o that_o he_o which_o have_v the_o order_n of_o a_o sick_a man_n shall_v yield_v to_o all_o his_o desire_n or_o that_o he_o shall_v bridle_v he_o notwithstanding_o that_o he_o chafe_v and_o gnashe_v his_o tooth_n because_o he_o may_v not_o have_v his_o own_o will_n in_o his_o desire_n you_o see_v therefore_o how_o dangerous_a a_o thing_n it_o be_v to_o flatter_v and_o raise_v up_o man_n with_o the_o preach_n of_o mercy_n before_o they_o have_v be_v cast_v down_o with_o the_o sense_n of_o god_n judgement_n cease_v therefore_o to_o open_v your_o mouth_n to_o make_v hue_n and_o cry_n over_o the_o country_n say_v they_o preach_v nothing_o but_o the_o law_n the_o law_n damnation_n damnation_n unless_o you_o will_v take_v in_o christ_n too_o and_o make_v he_o one_o of_o the_o number_n and_o accuse_v he_o of_o want_n of_o wisdom_n because_o he_o preach_v &_o cry_v out_o that_o whosoever_o repent_v not_o be_v condemn_v for_o my_o part_n i_o preach_v the_o gospel_n to_o who_o the_o gospel_n belong_v and_o the_o law_n to_o who_o the_o law_n belong_v i_o preach_v mercy_n to_o who_o mercy_n belong_v and_o judgement_n to_o who_o judgement_n appertain_v and_o therefore_o hold_v your_o peace_n and_o be_v content_a to_o be_v rule_v by_o the_o wisdom_n of_o god_n but_o now_o let_v we_o proceed_v to_o the_o three_o general_a point_n which_o be_v the_o time_n

chapter_n to_o day_n if_o you_o will_v hear_v his_o voice_n harden_v not_o your_o heart_n as_o in_o the_o provocation_n so_o that_o now_o even_o now_o even_o now_o be_v y_o e_o time_n of_o our_o

out_o and_o spill_v beside_o let_v we_o take_v up_o this_o day_n and_o make_v it_o the_o day_n of_o our_o repentance_n although_o we_o can_v never_o be_v move_v with_o any_o sermon_n hitherto_o yet_o let_v we_o now_o be_v move_v once_o at_o last_o let_v we_o now_o say_v this_o shall_v be_v my_o day_n of_o repentance_n i_o will_v defer_v it_o no_o long_o but_o now_o will_v i_o turn_v unto_o my_o

acquaint_v with_o god_n word_n and_o take_v counsel_n there_o how_o to_o do_v and_o how_o to_o behave_v myself_o in_o every_o action_n i_o will_v not_o only_o reform_v myself_o but_o also_o my_o whole_a household_n wife_n child_n and_o servant_n according_a unto_o the_o same_o thus_o my_o dear_a brethren_n i_o beseech_v you_o purpose_n in_o your_o heart_n without_o any_o further_a delay_n and_o be_v not_o like_a to_o epicure_n and_o sla●ckgraces_n which_o say_v youth_n will_v be_v youthful_a and_o youth_n will_v have_v his_o course_n &_o what_o shall_v we_o make_v it_o so_o holy_a when_o we_o be_v young_a tush_o there_o need_v but_o a_o sigh_n a_o hour_n before_o death_n let_v we_o be_v merry_a now_o we_o shall_v never_o be_v young_a we_o will_v repent_v when_o we_o be_v old_a as_o though_o poor_a soul_n they_o have_v repentance_n in_o their_o sléeve_n and_o at_o their_o commandment_n and_o that_o they_o can_v repent_v when_o they_o list_v no_o no_o these_o fellow_n shall_v pay_v for_o their_o presumption_n for_o god_n will_v give_v they_o over_o to_o hardenes_n of_o heart_n and_o impenitency_n because_o they_o take_v so_o much_o upon_o they_o and_o make_v so_o long_a delay_n that_o in_o the_o mean_a season_n they_o may_v enjoy_v the_o profit_n and_o pleasure_n of_o sin_n therefore_o good_a brethren_n let_v we_o not_o put_v it_o off_o from_o day_n to_o day_n but_o let_v we_o now_o seek_v the_o lord_n while_o he_o may_v be_v find_v and_o call_v upon_o he_o while_o he_o be_v near_o let_v we_o take_v time_n while_o time_n be_v for_o time_n and_o tide_n tarry_v
