the_o many_o rare_a and_o great_a mercy_n that_o god_n have_v bestow_v upon_o the_o nation_n in_o general_a and_o upon_o our_o person_n in_o particular_a and_o there_o be_v great_a reason_n why_o the_o mercy_n of_o god_n shall_v make_v we_o ashamed_a for_o sin_n and_o ashamed_a to_o sin_n because_o to_o sin_n against_o god_n after_o mercy_n be_v a_o sin_n of_o such_o a_o crimson_a die_v as_o that_o it_o must_v needs_o make_v we_o blush_v if_o any_o grace_n be_v in_o our_o heart_n the_o great_a the_o sin_n be_v we_o commit_v the_o great_a be_v our_o shame_n to_o commit_v it_o now_o it_o be_v a_o sin_n of_o a_o very_a high_a nature_n to_o sin_n after_o mercy_n for_o these_o reason_n because_o every_o new_a mercy_n we_o receive_v from_o god_n be_v a_o new_a kindness_n 1._o and_o the_o more_o kindness_n we_o sin_v against_o the_o more_o unkind_a it_o be_v to_o sin_n and_o the_o more_o shame_n to_o be_v so_o unkind_a to_o that_o god_n that_o be_v so_o kind_a to_o we_o caesar_n take_v it_o very_o unkind_o at_o the_o hand_n of_o brutus_n upon_o who_o he_o have_v bestow_v so_o many_o favour_n when_o he_o come_v to_o stab_v he_o what_o thou_o my_o son_n brutus_n god_n take_v it_o very_o unkind_o when_o a_o nation_n upon_o who_o he_o have_v bestow_v great_a mercy_n commit_v great_a sin_n and_o therefore_o he_o expostulate_v 5._o with_o the_o jew_n what_o iniquity_n have_v your_o father_n find_v in_o i_o that_o they_o have_v go_v far_o from_o i_o etc._n etc._n why_o be_v your_o father_n so_o unkind_a neither_o say_v they_o where_o be_v the_o lord_n that_o bring_v we_o

self-confound_a sin_n to_o be_v unkind_a to_o a_o kind_a god_n because_o every_o new_a mercy_n be_v a_o new_a obligation_n to_o obedience_n and_o 2._o the_o more_o obligation_n we_o sin_v against_o the_o more_o shame_n it_o be_v to_o commit_v the_o sin_n as_o to_o sin_n against_o a_o man_n father_n and_o mother_n be_v a_o great_a sin_n than_o to_o sin_n against_o a_o man_n brother_n and_o
