to_o himself_o first_o he_o will_v make_v satisfaction_n to_o god_n not_o in_o a_o popish_a sense_n god_n not_o by_o tender_v up_o his_o repentance_n as_o a_o recompensation_n to_o the_o injury_n offer_v to_o the_o great_a god_n by_o his_o sin_n but_o by_o present_v the_o lord_n christ_n and_o his_o satisfaction_n for_o a_o atonement_n and_o therefore_o the_o jew_n in_o the_o old_a law_n when_o they_o have_v commit_v a_o sin_n they_o be_v to_o bring_v a_o sacrifice_n and_o first_o to_o confess_v their_o sin_n over_o the_o sacrifice_n and_o then_o to_o offer_v up_o the_o sacrifice_n for_o a_o propitiation_n this_o sacrifice_n be_v a_o type_n of_o christ_n he_o that_o will_v procure_v pardon_n from_o god_n of_o sin_n must_v not_o only_o mourn_v for_o it_o confess_v it_o and_o turn_v from_o it_o this_o be_v not_o sufficient_a to_o procure_v pardon_n because_o our_o repentance_n at_o the_o best_a be_v imperfect_a and_o we_o must_v repent_v for_o the_o defect_n that_o

must_v repent_v but_o not_o trust_v to_o our_o repentance_n he_o that_o trust_v to_o his_o repentance_n make_v a_o idol_n of_o it_o and_o make_v a_o christ_n of_o it_o we_o must_v not_o bottom_v

to_o he_o then_o his_o life_n god_n will_v not_o accept_v of_o thy_o repentance_n unless_o thou_o endeavour_v to_o make_v up_o the_o injury_n thou_o have_v do_v to_o his_o good_a name_n many_o go_v

and_o for_o my_o part_n i_o be_o more_o afraid_a of_o this_o cup_n then_o of_o the_o other_o more_o afraid_a of_o these_o division_n then_o of_o the_o power_n and_o strength_n of_o the_o enemy_n for_o
