his_o come_n now_o say_v the_o break_a and_o humble_a sinner_n do_v christ_n come_v to_o save_v sinner_n my_o sin_n be_v so_o many_o and_o great_a can_v they_o be_v pardon_v yet_o god_n say_v come_v to_o i_o all_o you_o that_o be_v heavy_a lade_v i_o be_o weary_a and_o unless_o the_o lord_n intend_v good_a to_o i_o why_o do_v he_o invite_v i_o and_o bid_v i_o come_v sure_o he_o mean_v to_o show_v mercy_n to_o i_o o_o take_v heed_n question_v thy_o estate_n thou_o may_v but_o to_o cast_v away_o all_o hope_n be_v very_o heinous_a in_o the_o eye_n of_o the_o lord_n cast_v away_o all_o carnal_a confidence_n thou_o must_v and_o yet_o thou_o must_v hope_v let_v israel_n hope_n in_o the_o lord_n for_o in_o the_o lord_n &c_n &c_n thou_o go_v to_o the_o deep_a dungeon_n of_o thy_o corruption_n and_o there_o thou_o say_v these_o sin_n can_v never_o be_v pardon_v be_v any_o thing_n too_o hard_o for_o the_o lord_n you_o wrong_v god_n exceed_o you_o think_v it_o be_v a_o matter_n of_o

therefore_o god_n will_v not_o do_v it_o for_o isaiah_n say_v let_v the_o wicked_a forsake_v his_o way_n and_o the_o unrighteous_a man_n his_o thought_n isa_n 55._o 7_o 8_o 9_o that_o be_v all_o you_o

neglect_v not_o that_o it_o be_v a_o injustice_n for_o any_o court_n to_o hear_v one_o side_n and_o not_o the_o other_o the_o scripture_n be_v a_o text_n of_o justice_n and_o the_o lord_n do_v not_o lie_v at_o catch_n with_o his_o child_n but_o take_v they_o at_o the_o best_a as_o rom._n 4._o 22._o it_o be_v there_o say_v of_o abraham_n that_o he_o believe_v the_o promise_n and_o it_o be_v impute_v to_o he_o for_o righteousness_n indeed_o as_o in_o the_o 12._o of_o gen._n he_o have_v some_o doubt_n but_o god_n take_v he_o at_o the_o best_a and_o speak_v this_o of_o his_o faith_n so_o sarah_n be_v speak_v of_o as_o a_o gracious_a woman_n and_o of_o a_o pattern_n for_o woman_n by_o call_v her_o husband_n lord_n which_o be_v a_o sign_n of_o reverence_n to_o her_o husband_n and_o a_o humble_a heart_n to_o the_o lord_n and_o yet_o we_o read_v that_o she_o deride_v the_o message_n of_o the_o lord_n by_o the_o angel_n the_o lord_n bury_v that_o and_o only_o speak_v of_o that_o which_o be_v to_o her_o commendation_n gen._n 12._o 12._o and_o so_o take_v she_o at_o her_o best_a too_o now_o as_o the_o lord_n deal_v with_o these_o so_o shall_v we_o with_o ourselves_o what_o soever_o be_v find_v sincere_a and_o upright_a in_o we_o that_o shall_v we_o observe_v as_o well_o as_o that_o which_o be_v not_o so_o so_o when_o man_n shall_v bring_v in_o so_o many_o indictment_n against_o themselves_o and_o say_v oh_o what_o pride_n and_o stubborness_n be_v in_o my_o heart_n oh_o how_o weak_a be_o i_o and_o dull_a and_o dead_a and_o backwardness_n to_o holy_a duty_n o_o how_o careless_a of_o enjoy_v communion_n with_o god_n how_o negligent_a in_o sift_v and_o try_v my_o own_o heart_n in_o watch_v over_o my_o sense_n and_o mourn_v in_o secret_a for_o my_o own_o fail_n though_o this_o be_v so_o yet_o if_o man_n will_v see_v no_o more_o and_o these_o too_o much_o no_o marvel_n if_o they_o trouble_v their_o own_o house_n or_o if_o satan_n by_o their_o own_o word_n judge_v they_o to_o such_o a_o one_o therefore_o i_o say_v all_z that_o thou_o say_v may_v be_v true_a but_o be_v thou_o not_o trouble_v with_o these_o fail_n and_o be_v they_o not_o the_o great_a grief_n that_o thy_o soul_n have_v yea_o say_v the_o poor_a soul_n i_o confess_v my_o heart_n be_v vex_v and_o my_o soul_n grieve_v for_o they_o and_o i_o can_v be_v content_a to_o be_v any_o thing_n that_o i_o can_v be_v so_o now_o labour_n to_o have_v thy_o conscience_n settle_v and_o establish_v in_o the_o truth_n which_o now_o thou_o have_v get_v to_o bear_v witness_n of_o the_o work_n of_o grace_n in_o thou_o for_o if_o there_o be_v any_o want_n of_o the_o assurance_n of_o god_n love_n for_o if_o our_o conscience_n condemn_v we_o not_o than_o we_o have_v boldness_n towards_o god_n we_o must_v stop_v the_o mouth_n of_o conscience_n that_o be_v be_v convince_v and_o agree_v that_o it_o be_v a_o sin_n to_o say_v god_n have_v not_o wrought_v this_o work_n of_o grace_n in_o the_o heart_n when_o it_o be_v so_o clear_a he_o have_v for_o though_o sense_n and_o feel_v be_v as_o it_o sometime_o will_v be_v go_v yet_o conscience_n remember_v the_o day_n and_o year_n when_o the_o sinner_n have_v a_o clear_a evidence_n of_o god_n love_n and_o therefore_o say_v lord_n thou_o know_v it_o and_o thou_o do_v say_v out_o of_o the_o word_n at_o such_o a_o time_n that_o the_o heart_n of_o this_o poor_a soul_n be_v upright_o and_o sincere_a before_o thou_o you_o must_v therefore_o wait_v upon_o god_n and_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n in_o the_o use_n of_o the_o mean_n for_o this_o matter_n by_o believe_v right_o to_o your_o assurance_n for_o so_o the_o text_n say_v to_o you_o it_o be_v give_v to_o believe_v it_o must_v be_v give_v therefore_o and_o faith_n be_v the_o free_a gift_n of_o god_n it_o be_v god_n then_o that_o must_v do_v it_o who_o yet_o will_v not_o do_v it_o without_o we_o be_v reasonable_a man_n and_o woman_n in_o the_o power_n of_o willing_a again_o the_o lord_n afford_v we_o mean_n yet_o not_o so_o use_v they_o and_o give_v he_o the_o slip_n and_o here_o it_o be_v a_o good_a say_n let_v the_o lord_n do_v what_o he_o will_v and_o let_v we_o do_v what_o we_o shall_v we_o must_v not_o think_v when_o we_o have_v the_o mean_n that_o we_o can_v get_v faith_n present_o for_o as_o paul_n say_v the_o same_o power_n that_o raise_v up_o jesus_n from_o the_o
