you_o know_v run_v throughout_o the_o whole_a course_n of_o one_o life_n every_o day_n of_o our_o life_n have_v need_n of_o repentance_n for_o no_o day_n be_v free_a from_o the_o pollution_n of_o sin_n but_o through_o god_n mercy_n in_o christ_n sin_n shall_v not_o be_v impute_v to_o they_o in_o who_o it_o be_v mortify_v or_o subdue_v and_o keep_v under_o in_o who_o the_o power_n of_o it_o be_v conquer_v and_o kill_v or_o in_o who_o it_o be_v keep_v from_o come_v to_o life_n i_o endeavour_v to_o use_v so_o many_o several_a term_n as_o may_v reach_v the_o several_a state_n of_o man_n which_o i_o have_v to_o consider_v the_o first_o state_n be_v of_o they_o that_o be_v not_o yet_o grow_v up_o to_o year_n of_o discretion_n that_o can_v yet_o full_o distinguish_v between_o good_a and_o evil_a they_o be_v to_o mortify_v sin_n i_o can_v proper_o call_v it_o repentance_n that_o have_v not_o yet_o soil_v the_o white_a robe_n of_o innocence_n which_o they_o put_v on_o through_o god_n grace_n in_o the_o sacrament_n of_o baptism_n the_o second_o state_n be_v of_o they_o who_o have_v break_v their_o baptismal_a profession_n and_o have_v fall_v into_o sin_n through_o ignorance_n and_o frailty_n have_v not_o yet_o proceed_v so_o far_o as_o to_o have_v defile_v themselves_o by_o any_o wilful_a or_o deliberate_a sin_n the_o three_o state_n be_v of_o they_o who_o have_v thus_o transgress_v and_o yet_o not_o go_v to_o that_o height_n of_o enormity_n as_o to_o commit_v any_o sin_n against_o the_o light_n of_o nature_n such_o as_o god_n have_v particular_o threaten_v with_o excision_n and_o have_v not_o yet_o contract_v any_o habitual_a custom_n of_o those_o sin_n into_o which_o they_o have_v fall_v the_o four_o state_n be_v of_o they_o who_o have_v do_v thus_o be_v therefore_o say_v to_o be_v spiritual_o dead_a the_o question_n be_v what_o man_n in_o each_o of_o these_o state_n have_v to_o do_v in_o the_o work_n of_o repentance_n how_o in_o each_o of_o these_o state_n they_o be_v to_o mortify_v the_o deed_n of_o the_o flesh_n first_o of_o they_o that_o be_v not_o yet_o grow_v up_o to_o year_n of_o discretion_n child_n that_o can_v scarce_o distinguish_v between_o good_a and_o evil_a the_o question_n be_v what_o they_o have_v to_o do_v in_o this_o work_n sure_o there_o be_v much_o to_o be_v do_v by_o their_o parent_n and_o governor_n it_o be_v their_o duty_n to_o forwarn_v they_o of_o sin_n to_o make_v they_o know_v their_o danger_n of_o it_o and_o by_o it_o to_o teach_v they_o as_o they_o be_v able_a to_o learn_v what_o solemn_a vow_n and_o profession_n be_v make_v for_o they_o in_o baptism_n the_o first_o promise_n then_o make_v for_o they_o be_v that_o they_o shall_v forsake_v the_o devil_n and_o all_o his_o work_n the_o pomp_n and_o vanity_n of_o this_o world_n and_o all_o the_o sinful_a lust_n of_o the_o flesh_n child_n shall_v be_v teach_v what_o these_o thing_n be_v how_o hard_o it_o be_v to_o forsake_v they_o through_o the_o naughtiness_n of_o our_o natural_a disposition_n and_o yet_o how_o necessary_a it_o be_v to_o forsake_v they_o and_o how_o possible_a through_o the_o grace_n and_o goodness_n of_o god_n child_n shall_v be_v teach_v in_o their_o daily_a prayer_n to_o acknowledge_v what_o they_o find_v of_o their_o ignorance_n and_o frailty_n to_o ask_v pardon_n for_o what_o have_v be_v amiss_o in_o their_o little_a time_n pass_v and_o to_o beg_v the_o assistance_n of_o god_n grace_n for_o the_o future_a whensoever_o they_o do_v fall_v into_o actual_a sin_n as_o soon_o as_o ever_o it_o come_v to_o the_o knowledge_n of_o their_o friend_n it_o be_v their_o duty_n to_o admonish_v they_o and_o to_o make_v they_o sensible_a of_o it_o to_o make_v they_o ashamed_a of_o it_o and_o sorry_a for_o it_o to_o bring_v they_o if_o it_o be_v possible_a to_o hate_v and_o detest_v it_o to_o see_v that_o they_o confess_v it_o to_o god_n and_o ask_v his_o pardon_n for_o that_o sin_n and_o all_o other_o that_o they_o resolve_v by_o promise_n to_o forsake_v it_o and_o beseech_v god_n for_o his_o grace_n to_o enable_v they_o to_o fulfil_v that_o good_a resolution_n in_o the_o whole_a course_n of_o our_o life_n after_o infancy_n be_v obnoxious_a to_o many_o and_o manifold_a sin_n some_o of_o ignorance_n some_o of_o weakness_n and_o some_o of_o wilfulness_n and_o presumption_n and_o none_o of_o these_o be_v to_o be_v forgive_v without_o repentance_n we_o ought_v as_o far_o as_o we_o know_v and_o be_v able_a to_o suit_v our_o repentance_n to_o our_o sin_n for_o sin_n of_o ignorance_n and_o of_o daily_a incursion_n i_o conceive_v a_o general_a repentance_n may_v suffice_v for_o sin_n of_o wilfulness_n and_o presumption_n there_o ought_v to_o be_v a_o particular_a repentance_n first_o for_o sin_n of_o weakness_n and_o daily_a incursion_n i_o say_v it_o be_v necessary_a there_o shall_v be_v a_o general_a repentance_n every_o one_o that_o have_v the_o use_n of_o knowledge_n and_o reason_n shall_v make_v such_o a_o daily_a confession_n in_o his_o prayer_n as_o david_n do_v in_o that_o psalm_n 19_o 12._o cleanse_v i_o lord_n from_o my_o secret_a sin_n this_o our_o church_n have_v teach_v we_o to_o do_v in_o our_o public_a prayer_n and_o we_o shall_v do_v it_o as_o oft_o as_o we_o repeat_v that_o confession_n almighty_a and_o most_o merciful_a father_n we_o have_v offend_v against_o

sum_v up_o together_o our_o sin_n of_o ignorance_n and_o daily_a incursion_n we_o cast_v ourselves_o with_o they_o before_o the_o tribunal_n of_o god_n implore_v that_o mercy_n which_o according_a to_o the_o term_n of_o the_o gospel_n we_o be_v sure_o he_o will_v grant_v to_o they_o that_o confess_v in_o the_o general_a those_o sin_n which_o they_o know_v not_o in_o particular_a in_o this_o sense_n i_o conceive_v those_o word_n may_v be_v understand_v 1_o john_n 1._o 9_o we_o say_v the_o apostle_n of_o himself_o and_o such_o as_o he_o be_v can_v say_v that_o we_o have_v no_o sin_n we_o have_v sin_n of_o ignorance_n and_o of_o daily_a incursion_n but_o bless_v be_v god_n if_o we_o confess_v our_o sin_n he_o be_v faithful_a and_o will_v forgive_v we_o according_a to_o the_o term_n of_o the_o gospel_n as_o for_o those_o sin_n which_o need_v a_o particular_a repentance_n of_o they_o say_v the_o same_o apostle_n he_o that_o abide_v in_o god_n sin_v not_o 1_o john_n 3._o 6._o and_o ver_fw-la 9_o he_o do_v not_o commit_v sin_n he_o do_v not_o fall_v into_o wilful_a and_o deliberate_a sin_n if_o he_o do_v there_o be_v a_o breach_n and_o he_o must_v speedy_o make_v it_o up_o by_o particular_a repentance_n for_o that_o particular_a sin_n good_a god_n how_o many_o such_o sin_n do_v many_o of_o we_o commit_v and_o pass_v they_o by_o without_o particular_a notice_n and_o therefore_o without_o particular_a repentance_n they_o do_v not_o remember_v themselves_o and_o be_v as_o quiet_a as_o if_o god_n have_v forget_v they_o because_o this_o happen_v too_o oft_o and_o can_v be_v help_v when_o it_o be_v past_a i_o must_v mind_v they_o that_o be_v sensible_a of_o it_o how_o much_o they_o be_v oblige_v to_o special_a and_o solemn_a act_n of_o repentance_n this_o god_n
