therefore_o it_o have_v be_v note_v the_o question_n be_v not_o whether_o god_n accept_v a_o true_a repentance_n how_o late_o soever_o but_o whether_o god_n will_v give_v a_o true_a repentance_n so_o late_o and_o herein_o the_o question_n be_v not_o of_o the_o limit_n the_o absolute_a limit_n of_o infinite_a mercy_n and_o power_n but_o what_o limit_n it_o have_v set_v to_o itself_o and_o what_o

down_o several_a degree_n of_o impossibility_n notwithstanding_o infinite_a mercy_n and_o power_n that_o must_v necessary_o abate_v the_o irregular_a confidence_n of_o such_o a_o repentance_n and_o under_o one_o of_o they_o i_o shall_v be_v bold_a to_o place_v it_o 1._o the_o high_a degree_n of_o impossibility_n be_v of_o those_o thing_n that_o be_v utter_o and_o absolute_o impossible_a with_o

will_v not_o acquit_v the_o guilty_a he_o can_v he_o will_v not_o save_v or_o make_v man_n happy_a in_o their_o sin_n god_n himself_o speak_v this_o sense_n ezek._n 18.31_o 32._o and_o c._n 33.11_o as_o i_o live_v say_v the_o lord_n i_o have_v no_o pleasure_n in_o the_o death_n of_o he_o that_o die_v why_o will_v you_o die_v turn_v yourselves_o and_o live_v you_o as_o if_o he_o shall_v say_v except_o you_o turn_v all_o my_o mercy_n can_v do_v you_o no_o good_a for_o such_o a_o mercy_n as_o god_n the_o father_n of_o mercy_n will_v not_o give_v will_v not_o be_v a_o mercy_n but_o either_o a_o foolish_a softness_n or_o loose_a indulgence_n to_o sin_n such_o a_o power_n be_v not_o a_o power_n but_o a_o impotency_n or_o turn_v all_o thing_n to_o confusion_n these_o therefore_o be_v as_o inconsistent_a with_o god_n as_o folly_n imperfection_n sin_n the_o gospel_n the_o high_a display_v of_o mercy_n rest_v upon_o this_o principle_n be_v not_o a_o salvation_n of_o man_n in_o sin_n but_o a_o most_o effectual_a redemption_n of_o man_n from_o sin_n of_o all_o that_o god_n can_v be_v suppose_v to_o do_v for_o man_n there_o be_v nothing_o more_o impossible_a than_o this_o more_o

damn_a in_o hell_n be_v annihilate_v or_o recover_v to_o holiness_n and_o happiness_n after_o some_o age_n of_o torment_n be_v a_o high_a probability_n compare_v with_o this_o he_o that_o can_v tempt_v himself_o to_o believe_v this_o may_v believe_v any_o thing_n and_o needs_o no_o confutation_n but_o his_o own_o unreasonableness_n against_o this_o i_o have_v be_v thus_o large_a because_o it_o secret_o lurk_v in_o man_n heart_n that_o god_n may_v save_v they_o without_o so_o much_o ado_n about_o faith_n and_o repentance_n though_o be_v afraid_a to_o speak_v a_o thing_n so_o monstrous_a they_o disguise_v it_o under_o the_o pretence_n of_o a_o faint_a repentance_n at_o last_o but_o from_o what_o i_o have_v say_v it_o be_v plain_o to_o be_v infer_v first_o that_o some_o thing_n which_o god_n can_v will_v not_o do_v be_v not_o the_o reproach_n either_o of_o his_o mercy_n or_o power_n but_o the_o glory_n and_o greatness_n of_o both_o and_o this_o that_o he_o neither_o can_v or_o will_v save_v man_n without_o sincere_a faith_n and_o repentance_n that_o be_v without_o a_o recovery_n to_o holiness_n be_v one_o of_o these_o thing_n the_o deathbed_n repentance_n then_o that_o be_v
