will_v be_v very_o thankful_a to_o those_o who_o will_v do_v they_o such_o a_o kindness_n and_o therefore_o it_o be_v real_o a_o contempt_n of_o god_n and_o religion_n and_o another_o world_n which_o

but_o i_o will_v suppose_v the_o best_a i_o can_v in_o this_o case_n viz._n that_o by_o your_o warm_a and_o serious_a discourse_n you_o thorough_o awaken_v the_o conscience_n of_o a_o long_a and_o

the_o fear_n of_o death_n and_o the_o terror_n of_o a_o day_n of_o judgement_n this_o i_o confess_v be_v a_o hard_a case_n on_o the_o one_o side_n we_o must_v not_o discourage_v good_a beginning_n in_o any_o we_o must_v not_o cast_v a_o awaken_v sinner_n into_o despair_n we_o must_v not_o limit_v the_o infinite_a mercy_n of_o god_n but_o on_o the_o other_o side_n we_o must_v have_v a_o great_a care_n of_o encourage_v presumptuous_a sinner_n to_o put_v off_o their_o repentance_n to_o the_o last_o because_o then_o upon_o confession_n of_o their_o sin_n they_o can_v so_o easy_o obtain_v the_o church_n absolution_n which_o go_v no_o far_o than_o true_o repent_v and_o believe_v but_o here_o be_v the_o difficulty_n how_o we_o can_v satisfy_v ourselves_o that_o these_o do_v true_o repent_v and_o believe_v who_o be_v out_o of_o a_o capacity_n of_o give_v proof_n of_o their_o sincerity_n by_o amendment_n of_o life_n i_o do_v not_o question_v the_o sincerity_n of_o their_o present_a purpose_n but_o how_o often_o do_v we_o find_v those_o to_o come_v to_o nothing_o when_o they_o recover_v and_o fall_v into_o the_o former_a temptation_n how_o then_o shall_v they_o know_v their_o own_o sincerity_n till_o it_o be_v try_v how_o can_v it_o be_v try_v when_o they_o be_v go_v out_o of_o the_o state_n of_o trial_n the_o most_o we_o can_v do_v be_v to_o encourage_v they_o to_o do_v the_o best_a they_o can_v in_o their_o present_a condition_n and_o to_o show_v as_o many_o of_o the_o fruit_n of_o true_a repentance_n as_o their_o circumstance_n will_v allow_v and_o with_o the_o great_a humility_n of_o mind_n and_o most_o earnest_a supplication_n to_o implore_v the_o infinite_a mercy_n of_o god_n to_o their_o soul_n but_o beside_o these_o there_o be_v many_o case_n of_o sick_a person_n which_o require_v very_o particular_a advice_n and_o spiritual_a direction_n which_o you_o ought_v to_o be_v able_a to_o give_v they_o and_o it_o can_v be_v do_v without_o some_o good_a measure_n of_o skill_n and_o experience_n in_o casuistical_a divinity_n as_o how_o to_o satisfy_v a_o doubt_a conscience_n as_o to_o its_o own_o sincerity_n when_o so_o many_o infirmity_n be_v mix_v with_o our_o best_a action_n how_o a_o sinner_n who_o have_v relapse_v after_o repentance_n can_v be_v satisfy_v of_o the_o truth_n of_o his_o repentance_n when_o he_o do_v not_o know_v but_o he_o may_v far_o relapse_n upon_o fresh_a temptation_n how_o he_o shall_v know_v what_o fail_n be_v consistent_a with_o the_o state_n of_o grace_n and_o the_o hope_n of_o heaven_n and_o what_o not_o what_o measure_v of_o conviction_n and_o power_n of_o resistance_n be_v necessary_a to_o make_v sin_n to_o be_v wilful_a and_o presumptuous_a what_o the_o just_a measure_n of_o restitution_n be_v in_o order_n to_o true_a repentance_n in_o all_o such_o injury_n which_o be_v capable_a of_o it_o i_o may_v name_v many_o other_o but_o these_o i_o only_o mention_v to_o show_v how_o necessary_a it_o be_v for_o you_o to_o apply_v yourselves_o to_o moral_a and_o casuistical_a divinity_n and_o not_o to_o content_v yourselves_o bare_o with_o the_o knowledge_n of_o what_o be_v call_v positive_a and_o
