sin_n do_v natural_o and_o necessary_o go_v away_o so_o that_o there_o need_v no_o acceptation_n from_o god_n or_o act_v of_o remission_n but_o only_o a_o infusion_n of_o grace_n to_o repent_v but_o this_o in_o the_o next_o sermon_n shall_v main_o be_v insist_v upon_o and_o it_o be_v of_o great_a practical_a use_n to_o take_v we_o off_o from_o have_v confidence_n and_o trust_v in_o our_o sorrow_n for_o sin_n for_o as_o when_o a_o creditor_n do_v forgive_v his_o debtor_n it_o be_v the_o sole_a act_n of_o the_o creditor_n not_o any_o thing_n of_o the_o debtor_n so_o in_o pardon_v it_o be_v not_o any_o thing_n that_o we_o do_v though_o with_o never_o so_o much_o love_n and_o brokennesse_n of_o heart_n that_o do_v release_v and_o untie_v the_o bond_n of_o sin_n but_o it_o be_v a_o act_n of_o god_n only_o if_o you_o say_v object_n why_o then_o be_v repentance_n and_o faith_n press_v so_o necessary_o that_o god_n do_v not_o forgive_v without_o it_o for_o if_o it_o be_v only_o a_o act_n of_o god_n then_o it_o may_v be_v do_v without_o any_o work_n of_o the_o sinner_n intervening_a but_o of_o this_o in_o the_o next_o place_n only_o for_o the_o present_n take_v notice_n answ_n that_o it_o be_v not_o any_o sorrow_n or_o retraction_n of_o we_o that_o make_v a_o sin_n either_o remissible_a or_o actual_o remit_v but_o a_o mere_a act_n of_o god_n and_o if_o all_o the_o man_n of_o the_o world_n be_v ask_v this_o question_n what_o they_o mean_v when_o they_o pray_v god_n to_o forgive_v their_o sin_n the_o sense_n of_o all_o will_v be_v not_o that_o they_o shall_v do_v something_o which_o will_v remit_v they_o but_o that_o god_n by_o his_o gracious_a favour_n will_v release_v they_o so_o then_o if_o all_o these_o particular_n be_v cast_v up_o together_o you_o may_v clear_o conceive_v how_o god_n do_v forgive_v sin_n not_o by_o infuse_v or_o put_v grace_n into_o we_o which_o may_v expel_v sin_n as_o light_n do_v darkness_n but_o by_o his_o outward_a grace_n and_o favour_n accept_v of_o we_o and_o therefore_o we_o be_v not_o to_o rely_v upon_o any_o thing_n we_o do_v not_o to_o presume_v no_o not_o of_o our_o godly_a sorrow_n for_o sin_n but_o to_o look_v up_o to_o heaven_n desire_v god_n will_v speak_v the_o word_n that_o he_o will_v pronounce_v the_o sentence_n of_o absolution_n let_v the_o use_v be_v to_o look_v upon_o ourselves_o as_o bind_v in_o chain_n and_o fetter_n by_o our_o sin_n use_v as_o make_v very_o miserable_a by_o they_o that_o so_o we_o may_v the_o more_o earnest_o desire_v pardon_n and_o put_v a_o high_a prize_n upon_o it_o though_o god_n forgive_a be_v not_o the_o put_n of_o godly_a sorrow_n and_o the_o work_n of_o a_o break_a heart_n within_o we_o yet_o we_o can_v never_o obtain_v the_o one_o without_o the_o other_o the_o grace_n and_o mercy_n of_o a_o pardon_n be_v no_o more_o esteem_v by_o we_o because_o we_o look_v not_o upon_o ourselves_o as_o so_o many_o guilty_a person_n adjudge_v to_o eternal_a death_n thus_o the_o publican_n cry_v out_o have_v mercy_n upon_o i_o a_o sinner_n what_o plutarch_n say_v of_o the_o husbandman_n that_o it_o be_v a_o pleasant_a sight_n to_o he_o to_o see_v the_o ear_n of_o

there_o be_v no_o causality_n or_o merit_n in_o it_o to_o take_v away_o sin_n and_o this_o may_v right_o inform_v we_o about_o the_o true_a efficacy_n of_o our_o sorrow_n for_o sin_n to_o open_v this_o truth_n consider_v these_o proposition_n 1._o first_o that_o god_n do_v never_o remit_v or_o forgive_v sin_n but_o where_o also_o he_o give_v a_o mollify_v and_o soften_v heart_n to_o repent_v the_o scripture_n do_v abudant_o confirm_v this_o by_o precept_n and_o example_n it_o be_v indeed_o dispute_v by_o the_o schoolman_n as_o you_o have_v hear_v whether_o god_n by_o his_o absolute_a power_n may_v not_o forgive_v sin_n without_o sanctification_n of_o our_o nature_n and_o the_o grace_n of_o repentance_n for_o see_v they_o be_v two_o distinct_a mercy_n why_o may_v not_o god_n separate_v the_o one_o from_o the_o other_o but_o it_o be_v a_o vain_a thing_n to_o dispute_v what_o god_n may_v do_v when_o he_o have_v reveal_v what_o he_o will_v do_v and_o although_o we_o can_v say_v that_o there_o be_v a_o natural_a necessity_n between_o justification_n and_o sanctification_n such_o as_o be_v between_o the_o light_n and_o heat_n in_o the_o fire_n yet_o this_o conjoin_v of_o they_o together_o by_o god_n will_n and_o appointment_n arise_v from_o a_o condecency_n and_o fitness_n both_o to_o god_n himself_o who_o be_v a_o holy_a god_n and_o to_o the_o nature_n of_o the_o mercy_n which_o be_v the_o take_n and_o remove_v of_o sin_n away_o 2._o 2._o although_o the_o scripture_n attribute_n pardon_n of_o sin_n to_o many_o qualification_n in_o a_o man_n yet_o repentance_n be_v the_o most_o express_a and_o proper_a duty_n the_o scripture_n sometime_o make_v forgive_a of_o other_o a_o necessary_a disposition_n sometime_o confess_v and_o forsake_v of_o they_o sometime_o believe_v though_o that_o have_v a_o peculiar_a nature_n in_o receive_v of_o pardon_n which_o other_o grace_n have_v not_o and_o therefore_o faith_n obtain_v pardon_n by_o way_n of_o a_o instrument_n apply_v which_o other_o grace_n do_v not_o but_o if_o we_o speak_v of_o the_o express_a formal_a qualification_n it_o be_v repentance_n of_o our_o sin_n not_o repentance_n as_o it_o be_v a_o mere_a

only_a author_n of_o blot_v out_o and_o pardon_v sin_n and_o again_o we_o read_v of_o other_o place_n where_o god_n do_v this_o for_o none_o but_o the_o break_a and_o contrite_a heart_n now_o both_o these_o place_n must_v not_o be_v oppose_v to_o each_o other_o neither_o may_v we_o so_o dwell_v upon_o the_o one_o as_o to_o neglect_v the_o other_o so_o to_o look_v upon_o it_o as_o god_n act_n as_o if_o there_o be_v nothing_o require_v in_o we_o and_o again_o so_o to_o look_v upon_o that_o which_o we_o do_v as_o if_o god_n be_v not_o to_o be_v acknowledge_v 3._o 3._o none_o may_v believe_v or_o

only_o when_o they_o be_v blot_v out_o before_o god_n by_o christ_n death_n already_o and_o so_o our_o justification_n by_o faith_n shall_v be_v but_o a_o copy_n fetch_v out_o of_o the_o court_n
