here_o thou_o must_v not_o rest_v but_o thou_o hunt_v for_o the_o blood_n of_o thy_o corruption_n and_o thou_o can_v not_o be_v quiet_a till_o thou_o see_v the_o death_n of_o they_o the_o soul_n can_v do_v little_a of_o itself_o but_o it_o will_v have_v the_o lord_n do_v all_o for_o it_o so_o though_o thou_o have_v not_o sanctify_v grace_n &_o have_v not_o power_n of_o thyself_o to_o kill_v thy_o corruption_n yet_o thou_o make_v all_o thy_o friend_n thou_o have_v to_o use_v all_o mean_n to_o sink_v thy_o enemy_n that_o else_o will_v sink_v thou_o as_o it_o be_v among_o man_n when_o a_o man_n have_v find_v his_o enemy_n he_o follow_v the_o law_n hot_o and_o he_o will_v have_v his_o life_n or_o else_o it_o shall_v cost_v he_o a_o fall_n he_o pursue_v he_o from_o one_o court_n to_o another_o and_o make_v all_o the_o friend_n that_o he_o can_v that_o he_o may_v plague_v he_o and_o if_o all_o the_o law_n in_o the_o land_n will_v do_v it_o he_o will_v have_v he_o hang_v this_o be_v a_o right_a hatred_n indeed_o so_o the_o soul_n can_v do_v little_a of_o itself_o yet_o it_o endeavour_v and_o make_v a_o levy_n of_o force_n and_o prayer_n and_o will_v not_o leave_v sin_n with_o life_n it_o pursue_v sin_n hot_o and_o if_o all_o god_n word_n and_o all_o the_o promise_n and_o if_o the_o grace_n of_o christ_n will_v do_v the_o deed_n it_o will_v not_o rest_v till_o it_o see_v the_o

of_o i_o these_o be_v thy_o enemy_n &_o the_o enemy_n of_o thy_o grace_n lord_n they_o seek_v my_o blood_n let_v i_o have_v their_o blood_n blood_n for_o blood_n tooth_n for_o tooth_n o_o let_v i_o

hypocrite_n and_o therefore_o a_o hypocrite_n will_v scum_n over_o all_o his_o confession_n his_o talk_n will_v be_v a_o hundred_o mile_n from_o his_o sin_n he_o never_o come_v to_o that_o main_a

and_o selfe-uncleannesse_n that_o be_v the_o cause_n thereof_o and_o there_o be_v many_o beside_o these_o as_o it_o be_v with_o a_o dog_n he_o do_v not_o gorge_v up_o his_o meat_n because_o he_o

confess_v only_o to_o ease_v themselves_o of_o the_o horror_n and_o therefore_o when_o the_o horror_n be_v go_v they_o fall_v to_o their_o old_a sin_n again_o whereas_o a_o sound_n christian_n do_v

discover_v itself_o by_o desire_n and_o wish_n than_o any_o confidence_n in_o itself_o and_o therefore_o the_o soul_n say_v o_o that_o the_o lord_n will_v once_o give_v i_o power_n against_o these_o

corruption_n this_o be_v the_o manner_n of_o his_o confession_n but_o some_o man_n may_v say_v object_n be_v every_o man_n bind_v thus_o free_o and_o open_o to_o confess_v his_o sin_n i_o answer_v the_o doctrine_n say_v when_o he_o be_v call_v to_o it_o but_o you_o will_v say_v when_o be_v a_o man_n bind_v and_o call_v to_o make_v confession_n answ._n for_o the_o answer_n i_o will_v show_v it_o in_o four_o conclusion_n first_o sin_n when_o the_o soul_n haâh_v have_v a_o true_a sight_n of_o sin_n &_o have_v confess_v it_o to_o the_o lord_n abundant_o &_o through_o god_n mercy_n have_v get_v some_o assurance_n of_o the_o pardon_n thereof_o then_o he_o need_v not_o look_v to_o man_n for_o pardon_n because_o the_o end_n of_o confession_n be_v accomplish_v already_o a_o man_n therefore_o confess_v his_o sin_n that_o he_o may_v find_v some_o help_n against_o it_o not_o that_o a_o minister_n can_v absolve_v or_o pardon_v any_o as_o the_o popish_a shaveling_n imagine_v but_o that_o he_o may_v have_v the_o direction_n help_n and_o prayer_n of_o a_o godly_a minister_n second_o if_o we_o have_v wrong_v any_o body_n that_o we_o have_v converse_v withal_o though_o god_n have_v pardon_v the_o sin_n yet_o we_o be_v to_o confess_v it_o that_o we_o may_v make_v peace_n &_o pray_v one_o for_o another_o this_o be_v the_o meaning_n of_o that_o place_n confess_v your_o sin_n one_o to_o another_o 16._o and_o pray_v one_o for_o another_o three_o if_o a_o man_n have_v use_v all_o mean_n ordinary_a and_o extraordinary_a and_o have_v fast_v &_o pray_v and_o seek_v the_o lord_n for_o pardon_n of_o sin_n &_o strength_n against_o it_o and_o yet_o his_o conscience_n remain_v trouble_v and_o he_o sink_v under_o the_o burden_n of_o his_o corruption_n in_o this_o case_n a_o man_n be_v call_v to_o confess_v his_o sin_n to_o a_o faithful_a minister_n indeed_o a_o man_n may_v confess_v they_o to_o a_o faithful_a christian_a but_o it_o be_v god_n ordinance_n to_o confess_v they_o to_o a_o faithful_a minister_n not_o that_o a_o minister_n can_v pardon_v his_o sin_n but_o only_o to_o declare_v when_o he_o be_v fit_v and_o to_o apply_v mercy_n according_o it_o be_v not_o a_o matter_n of_o compliment_n but_o a_o duty_n command_v it_o be_v in_o this_o case_n with_o the_o soul_n as_o it_o be_v with_o a_o man_n body_n he_o that_o be_v able_a by_o his_o own_o skill_n and_o his_o kitchen-physic_n to_o âure_v himself_o have_v no_o need_n to_o seek_v to_o the_o physician_n but_o if_o it_o be_v beyond_o his_o own_o skill_n and_o if_o kitchen-physic_n will_v do_v no_o good_a than_o he_o be_v bind_v to_o seek_v out_o to_o a_o physician_n unless_o he_o will_v be_v his_o own_o murderer_n it_o be_v just_a so_o with_o the_o soul_n of_o a_o man_n that_o be_v sorrowful_a for_o sin_n when_o he_o have_v conscionable_o use_v all_o mean_n and_o yet_o his_o closet_n prayer_n and_o his_o closet_n fasting_n will_v not_o do_v the_o deed_n than_o he_o be_v bind_v to_o seek_v out_o to_o a_o faithful_a minister_n for_o he_o be_v the_o physician_n that_o god_n have_v appoint_v whereby_o all_o the_o sickness_n of_o the_o soul_n
