bring_v any_o to_o the_o knowledge_n of_o christ_n 4.6_o 2_o cor._n 4.6_o god_n say_v he_o that_o command_v light_a to_o shine_v out_o of_o darkness_n have_v shine_v into_o our_o heart_n to_o give_v unto_o we_o the_o knowledge_n of_o his_o glory_n in_o the_o face_n of_o christ_n so_o in_o the_o new_a testament_n when_o our_o saviour_n command_v the_o sea_n to_o be_v still_o the_o blind_a to_o see_v the_o dead_a to_o rise_v etc._n etc._n there_o be_v no_o ability_n in_o those_o creature_n to_o obey_v his_o command_n but_o his_o command_n go_v out_o with_o divine_a authority_n give_v unto_o they_o power_n so_o when_o the_o minister_n of_o the_o gospel_n command_v sinner_n to_o believe_v and_o to_o repent_v the_o word_n go_v out_o in_o the_o name_n and_o in_o the_o strength_n of_o god_n and_o wherever_o it_o be_v effectual_a it_o convey_v that_o power_n which_o be_v not_o there_o before_o and_o this_o be_v it_o which_o make_v preach_v necessary_a unto_o the_o world_n end_n because_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n do_v cooperate_v with_o it_o as_o the_o apostle_n have_v it_o when_o he_o command_v a_o minister_n to_o be_v meek_a and_o ready_a to_o teach_v even_o those_o that_o set_v themselves_o to_o oppose_v the_o truth_n if_o say_v he_o 2.24_o 2_o tim._n 2.24_o peradventure_o god_n will_v give_v they_o repentance_n we_o preach_v to_o and_o pray_v for_o sinner_n only_o with_o a_o peradventure_o perhaps_o god_n may_v work_v some_o good_a by_o we_o but_o if_o god_n do_v not_o work_n our_o word_n can_v and_o the_o sinner_n himself_o will_v not_o use_v this_o may_v serve_v to_o teach_v all_o those_o who_o begin_v to_o be_v trouble_v for_o their_o past_a sin_n which_o way_n they_o must_v take_v to_o arrive_v unto_o comfort_n and_o satisfaction_n there_o be_v some_o ignorant_a and_o unskilful_a physician_n of_o the_o soul_n who_o prescribe_v fast_v penance_n uneasy_a posture_n of_o prayer_n and_o the_o like_a which_o be_v at_o the_o best_a but_o bodily_a exercise_n 4._o 1_o tim._n 4._o which_o profit_v little_a because_o it_o reach_v not_o to_o the_o core_n of_o sin_n that_o lie_v within_o such_o kind_n of_o method_n as_o these_o do_v only_o prune_v and_o lop_v the_o branch_n of_o corruption_n but_o leave_v the_o root_n entire_a man_n may_v in_o a_o needless_a rigour_n starve_v their_o body_n and_o all_o the_o while_n do_v nothing_o else_o but_o feed_v their_o pride_n my_o advice_n rather_o be_v to_o a_o disconsolate_a sinner_n that_o he_o will_v present_o lay_v hold_n upon_o his_o pardon_n and_o my_o ground_n for_o this_o advice_n be_v these_o two_o motive_n 1_o 1._o nothing_o do_v more_o engage_v we_o in_o a_o wilful_a and_o deliberate_a course_n of_o sin_v than_o despair_n of_o pardon_n when_o once_o cain_n cry_v out_o 4._o gen._n 4._o that_o his_o sin_n be_v great_a than_o can_v be_v forgive_v the_o next_o news_n we_o hear_v of_o he_o be_v that_o he_o go_v out_o from_o the_o presence_n of_o the_o lord_n thus_o when_o god_n summon_v the_o people_n by_o his_o prophet_n jeremy_n 18.12_o jer._n 18.12_o to_o return_v from_o the_o evil_n of_o their_o way_n he_o bring_v they_o in_o say_v there_o be_v no_o hope_n and_o than_o it_o present_o follow_v but_o we_o will_v walk_v in_o the_o imagination_n of_o our_o own_o heart_n the_o apostle_n peter_n therefore_o exhort_v those_o to_o who_o he_o write_v to_o make_v a_o progress_n in_o holiness_n by_o add_v one_o grace_n to_o another_o but_o he_o say_v he_o who_o want_v these_o thing_n be_v blind_a 1.9_o 2_o pet._n 1.9_o forget_v that_o he_o be_v cleanse_v from_o his_o old_a sin_n thereby_o intimate_v that_o as_o presumption_n beget_v confidence_n so_o despair_n beget_v carelessness_n in_o sin_v as_o we_o read_v of_o some_o who_o have_v die_v for_o fear_n of_o death_n so_o be_v it_o in_o this_o case_n when_o man_n dare_v so_o much_o wrong_v god_n goodness_n as_o to_o imagine_v that_o he_o will_v not_o make_v good_a his_o promise_n to_o they_o though_o it_o run_v indefinite_o they_o run_v so_o far_o in_o sin_n till_o at_o last_o they_o dare_v not_o think_v of_o return_v which_o seem_v to_o have_v be_v david_n case_n when_o he_o cry_v out_o innumerable_a evil_n have_v compass_v i_o about_o my_o iniquity_n have_v take_v hold_v upon_o i_o so_o that_o i_o be_o not_o able_a to_o look_v up_o they_o be_v more_o than_o the_o hair_n of_o my_o head_n therefore_o my_o heart_n fail_v i_o while_o he_o stay_v and_o forbear_v to_o pass_v the_o ford_n which_o mercy_n have_v shallowed_a for_o he_o his_o sin_n like_o a_o torrent_n begin_v to_o overwhelm_v he_o with_o horror_n and_o amazement_n motive_n 2_o 2._o pardon_v of_o sin_n for_o the_o time_n past_a and_o power_n against_o sin_n for_o the_o time_n to_o come_v go_v both_o together_o as_o when_o a_o judge_n do_v free_a a_o prisoner_n at_o the_o same_o time_n he_o give_v he_o liberty_n he_o knock_v off_o his_o chain_n so_o when_o god_n intend_v to_o do_v good_a unto_o a_o sinner_n he_o never_o sever_v his_o gift_n but_o complete_v the_o work_n of_o his_o redemption_n by_o purify_n and_o strengthen_v grace_n at_o the_o same_o time_n as_o he_o speak_v by_o the_o prophet_n 36._o ezek._n 36._o i_o will_v sprinkle_v clean_a water_n upon_o you_o and_o you_o shall_v be_v clean_o then_o he_o present_o add_v a_o new_a heart_n also_o will_v i_o give_v you_o and_o i_o will_v put_v my_o spirit_n within_o you_o and_o cause_v you_o to_o walk_v in_o my_o way_n and_o you_o shall_v keep_v my_o judgement_n and_o do_v they_o and_o the_o reason_n of_o this_o be_v clear_a because_o when_o a_o sinner_n have_v once_o receive_v his_o pardon_n he_o may_v bold_o go_v to_o god_n and_o christ_n and_o by_o prayer_n engage_v their_o power_n in_o his_o behalf_n but_o till_o then_o he_o be_v not_o able_a to_o do_v any_o thing_n he_o can_v pray_v in_o faith_n because_o he_o have_v no_o assurance_n that_o he_o shall_v be_v hear_v he_o can_v act_v in_o faith_n because_o he_o have_v no_o promise_n that_o he_o shall_v be_v assist_v but_o when_o once_o he_o have_v take_v what_o god_n offer_v he_o have_v a_o certainty_n of_o both_o but_o some_o may_v object_v that_o be_v their_o sin_n less_o object_n object_n than_o there_o be_v some_o hope_n but_o their_o sin_n have_v be_v so_o many_o and_o so_o strange_o aggravate_v that_o they_o must_v needs_o sit_v down_o under_o the_o sorrow_n as_o be_v in_o a_o hopeless_a condition_n for_o answer_v i_o wish_v all_o those_o who_o make_v this_o objection_n answ_n answ_n as_o indeed_o none_o ever_o think_v of_o return_v to_o god_n but_o he_o meet_v with_o this_o lion_n in_o his_o way_n will_v serious_o ask_v whether_o they_o find_v themselves_o as_o willing_a to_o forsake_v their_o sin_n as_o they_o pretend_v to_o be_v sorry_a for_o they_o and_o if_o they_o do_v then_o let_v they_o consider_v these_o three_o thing_n 1._o the_o latitude_n and_o extent_n of_o christ_n death_n i_o do_v not_o mean_v as_o to_o the_o universality_n of_o the_o person_n for_o i_o find_v no_o ground_n for_o that_o but_o as_o to_o the_o qualification_n of_o those_o for_o who_o christ_n die_v and_o we_o shall_v find_v it_o be_v for_o sinner_n for_o the_o ungodly_a for_o enemy_n 10_o rom._n 5.6_o 8_o 10_o from_o whence_o a_o repent_v sinner_n may_v thus_o argue_v if_o christ_n die_v for_o sinner_n then_o certain_o he_o will_v not_o refuse_v i_o because_o i_o have_v be_v a_o sinner_n if_o he_o die_v for_o enemy_n then_o sure_o he_o will_v not_o cast_v i_o off_o if_o i_o be_o ready_a to_o lay_v down_o my_o weapon_n and_o be_v reconcile_v unto_o he_o this_o be_v it_o which_o comfort_v paul_n it_o be_v say_v he_o a_o faithful_a say_n 1.15_o 1_o tim._n 1.15_o that_o christ_n come_v to_o die_v for_o sinner_n among_o which_o i_o be_o chief_a he_o confess_v as_o much_o gild_n as_o can_v possible_o stick_v to_o he_o and_o yet_o take_v comfort_n in_o that_o general_a truth_n that_o christ_n come_v to_o die_v for_o sinner_n and_o then_o propose_v his_o own_o example_n for_o this_o cause_n i_o obtain_v mercy_n that_o in_o i_o first_o jesus_n christ_n may_v show_v forth_o all_o long-suffering_a for_o a_o pattern_n to_o they_o which_o shall_v hereafter_o believe_v on_o he_o to_o life_n everlasting_a we_o must_v take_v heed_n how_o we_o frustrate_v the_o grace_n of_o god_n for_o as_o the_o apostle_n argue_v if_o righteousness_n or_o justification_n have_v be_v by_o the_o law_n than_o have_v christ_n die_v in_o vain_a so_o if_o sinner_n who_o be_v desirous_a above_o all_o thing_n to_o come_v unto_o christ_n shall_v therefore_o be_v drive_v out_o from_o he_o because_o they_o have_v be_v sinner_n than_o will_v christ_n have_v die_v in_o vain_a 2._o consider_v the_o freeness_n and_o
