be_v the_o faith_n of_o christian_n and_o if_o you_o will_v know_v what_o fruit_n there_o be_v from_o christ_n rise_v from_o the_o dead_a the_o three_o preacher_n will_v inform_v you_o and_o i_o shall_v use_v no_o other_o introduction_n than_o his_o own_o i_o will_v show_v you_o that_o it_o agree_v well_o with_o the_o resurrection_n from_o the_o dead_a for_o the_o mercy_n of_o god_n flow_v from_o this_o resurrection_n of_o our_o saviour_n for_o he_o die_v for_o our_o sin_n and_o rise_v that_o our_o soul_n may_v be_v save_v in_o that_o melt_a sermon_n of_o he_o which_o be_v anchor_v upon_o that_o place_n in_o the_o psalm_n a_o sermon_n preach_v by_o doctor_n potter_n bishop_n carlisle_n at_o the_o spital_n on_o tuesday_n in_o easter_n week_n psalm_n 130.4_o but_o there_o be_v mercy_n with_o thou_o that_o thou_o may_v be_v fear_v the_o word_n be_v a_o appeal_n of_o the_o princely_a prophet_n david_n from_o the_o throne_n of_o justice_n to_o the_o throne_n of_o goodness_n and_o be_v considerable_a in_o their_o context_n and_o in_o their_o text._n first_o in_o their_o context_n and_o that_o three_o several_a way_n first_o they_o must_v be_v consider_v in_o way_n of_o consequence_n as_o they_o follow_v the_o former_a verse_n first_o he_o speak_v of_o the_o judgement_n of_o god_n if_o thou_o o_o lord_n shall_v enter_v into_o judgement_n who_o can_v stand_v and_o then_o he_o come_v in_o with_o a_o discourse_n of_o mercy_n and_o second_o as_o in_o order_n so_o he_o temper_v justice_n and_o mercy_n together_o three_o as_o they_o be_v a_o cry_n of_o perplexity_n he_o cry_v in_o the_o first_o verse_n complain_v in_o the_o second_o verse_n fear_n in_o the_o three_o and_o here_o he_o resolve_v to_o set_v upon_o mercy_n the_o first_o point_n from_o the_o first_o of_o these_o be_v that_o we_o can_v neither_o sensible_o nor_o safe_o preach_v mercy_n in_o forgiveness_n of_o sin_n unless_o as_o we_o do_v acquaint_v you_o with_o the_o justice_n of_o god_n as_o in_o the_o former_a place_n so_o in_o the_o second_o place_n we_o must_v make_v and_o contemper_n in_o our_o meditation_n the_o thought_n of_o mercy_n with_o the_o thought_n of_o justice_n three_o though_o the_o action_n of_o sin_n may_v be_v short_a yet_o the_o passion_n will_v be_v long_o a_o sin_n may_v be_v soon_o commit_v but_o the_o pardon_n of_o sin_n be_v not_o so_o soon_o have_v first_o that_o before_o we_o can_v sensible_o or_o safe_o preach_v the_o mercy_n of_o god_n in_o the_o forgiveness_n of_o sin_n unto_o you_o we_o must_v acquaint_v you_o with_o the_o justice_n of_o god_n as_o in_o the_o verse_n before_o my_o text._n if_o thou_o enterest_n into_o judgement_n who_o shall_v stand_v but_o there_o be_v mercy_n with_o thou_o etc._n etc._n that_o thou_o may_v be_v fear_v it_o be_v the_o method_n that_o be_v always_o use_v in_o the_o old_a and_o new_a testament_n our_o first_o parent_n hide_v themselves_o through_o terror_n of_o spirit_n among_o the_o bush_n when_o god_n will_v preach_v the_o gospel_n unto_o they_o he_o first_o arraigns_n they_o and_o then_o pass_v a_o promise_n of_o mercy_n that_o the_o seed_n of_o the_o woman_n shall_v break_v the_o serpent_n head_n thus_o it_o be_v in_o the_o law_n before_o a_o man_n can_v know_v god_n he_o must_v come_v to_o mount_n sinai_n and_o the_o law_n be_v a_o schoolmaster_n to_o lead_v we_o unto_o christ_n thus_o it_o be_v at_o the_o give_v of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n there_o be_v a_o rush_n of_o a_o mighty_a wind_n and_o then_o the_o holy_a ghost_n come_v into_o their_o mind_n and_o heart_n this_o be_v the_o method_n of_o that_o preacher_n then_o in_o the_o new_a testament_n first_o man_n must_v be_v weary_a and_o heavy_a lade_v and_o then_o christ_n come_v to_o ease_v matth._n 11.8_o i_o come_v not_o to_o call_v the_o righteous_a those_o that_o imagine_v themselves_o so_o but_o sinner_n to_o repentance_n those_o that_o be_v so_o wise_a to_o see_v it_o and_o so_o humble_a to_o say_v it_o no_o expectation_n of_o heal_v from_o the_o brazen_a serpent_n but_o only_o from_o those_o that_o be_v hurt_v and_o look_v up_o first_o see_v yourselves_o lead_v into_o captivity_n by_o the_o devil_n and_o then_o you_o be_v fit_a to_o receive_v enfranchisement_n and_o deliverance_n from_o god_n and_o this_o that_o good_a father_n apply_v unto_o ourselves_o first_o let_v it_o be_v a_o instruction_n for_o we_o to_o consider_v though_o hell_n fire_n be_v flash_v in_o our_o face_n god_n do_v it_o but_o as_o parent_n to_o their_o child_n they_o hold_v they_o over_o the_o fire_n to_o make_v they_o afraid_a of_o fall_v into_o the_o fire_n the_o law_n be_v a_o schoolmaster_n to_o christ_n first_o law_n and_o then_o gospel_n first_o plough_v up_o the_o fallow-ground_n of_o our_o heart_n and_o then_o sow_v the_o word_n jer._n 4.4_o according_a to_o the_o method_n of_o god_n appear_v to_o elijah_n first_o a_o bluster_a wind_n than_o a_o earthquake_n after_o that_o fire_n and_o last_o come_v god_n in_o a_o still_a voice_n first_o look_v for_o earthquake_n wind_n and_o fire_n in_o the_o soul_n and_o after_o all_o for_o comfort_n thus_o it_o be_v god_n most_o usual_a way_n and_o then_o second_o what_o shall_v we_o say_v to_o those_o carnal_a gospeler_n that_o be_v all_o for_o the_o calm_a doctrine_n of_o the_o time_n those_o that_o complain_v they_o can_v sit_v quiet_a in_o their_o seat_n for_o the_o threaten_n of_o some_o minister_n they_o will_v have_v a_o gospel_n of_o gold_n and_o salvation_n of_o silver_n and_o testament_n of_o precious_a stone_n and_o go_v to_o heaven_n upon_o featherbed_n but_o belove_v i_o have_v rather_o speak_v a_o thousand_o word_n to_o comfort_v then_o one_o to_o discomfort_v but_o it_o be_v for_o the_o good_a of_o your_o soul_n and_o for_o the_o glory_n of_o our_o saviour_n we_o can_v dare_v not_o must_v not_o do_v otherwise_o we_o must_v come_v home_o to_o your_o conscience_n come_v home_o to_o they_o so_o the_o prophet_n so_o the_o apostle_n have_v do_v in_o all_o age_n they_o have_v denounce_v the_o judgement_n of_o god_n against_o all_o their_o auditor_n and_o do_v you_o but_o hear_v those_o yell_n that_o be_v now_o in_o hell_n those_o that_o cry_v out_o i_o may_v thank_v that_o flatter_a preacher_n for_o these_o pain_n if_o he_o have_v tell_v i_o of_o this_o i_o have_v not_o come_v hither_o think_v of_o it_o now_o that_o you_o feel_v it_o not_o hereafter_o in_o the_o next_o place_n it_o be_v good_a for_o we_o to_o temper_v the_o thought_n of_o mercy_n and_o justice_n together_o not_o to_o talk_v of_o justice_n only_o but_o also_o of_o mercy_n my_o song_n shall_v be_v of_o mercy_n and_o judgement_n say_v david_n psalm_n 101.1_o and_o deut._n 28._o half_n the_o chapter_n speak_v of_o judgement_n and_o half_a of_o mercy_n deut._n 11._o blessing_n on_o one_o mountain_n and_o curse_n upon_o another_o blessing_n upon_o mount_n gerizim_n and_o curse_n upon_o mount_n ebal_n and_o indeed_o there_o be_v two_o main_a rock_n between_o which_o most_o man_n fall_v presumption_n and_o despair_n we_o be_v between_o they_o like_o susanna_n between_o the_o judge_n we_o be_v between_o they_o as_o between_o sylla_n and_o charybdis_n we_o may_v say_v of_o desperation_n as_o of_o saul_n it_o have_v slay_v his_o thousand_o but_o of_o presumption_n as_o of_o david_n it_o have_v slay_v his_o ten_o thousand_o and_o therefore_o though_o we_o diet_v ourselves_o with_o the_o mercy_n of_o god_n we_o must_v not_o glut_v with_o they_o and_o this_o be_v apply_v by_o he_o unto_o the_o soul_n of_o preacher_n and_o people_n first_o to_o preacher_n we_o shall_v take_v a_o lesson_n from_o hence_o that_o when_o we_o find_v that_o there_o be_v mors_fw-la in_o olla_fw-es death_n in_o the_o pot_n discomfort_n in_o the_o heart_n than_o we_o must_v take_v the_o herb_n of_o comfort_n and_o put_v it_o in_o that_o hand_n be_v hew_v out_o of_o the_o hard_a rock_n that_o will_v not_o administer_v comfort_n to_o the_o soul_n that_o need_v it_o we_o must_v like_o the_o good_a samaritan_n pour_fw-fr oil_n and_o wine_n into_o your_o sore_n wine_n to_o open_v they_o and_o oil_n to_o supple_a they_o speak_v not_o of_o judgement_n alone_o god_n do_v never_o intend_v this_o unto_o you_o and_o do_v not_o deal_v all_o of_o mercy_n but_o think_v of_o judgement_n also_o for_o if_o god_n have_v never_o so_o much_o mercy_n in_o store_n there_o be_v none_o for_o you_o presumptuous_a sinner_n that_o be_v the_o second_o consideration_n the_o three_o consideration_n be_v that_o though_o the_o action_n of_o sin_n be_v short_a yet_o the_o passion_n be_v long_o though_o a_o great_a sin_n be_v soon_o commit_v yet_o a_o small_a sin_n be_v not_o so_o soon_o remit_v look_v upon_o david_n he_o commit_v two_o great_a sin_n adultery_n and_o murder_n
