those_o child_n under_o the_o rod_n who_o promise_n wonder_v then_o and_o present_o after_o forget_v all_o such_o as_o these_o we_o have_v describe_v ps._n 78.34_o 35_o 36_o 37._o when_o he_o slay_v they_o than_o they_o seek_v he_o and_o they_o return_v and_o inquire_v early_o after_o god_n then_o they_o remember_v that_o god_n be_v their_o rock_n and_o that_o the_o high_a god_n be_v their_o

continue_v they_o steadfast_a in_o his_o covenant_n and_o it_o be_v probable_a this_o have_v be_v the_o case_n former_o of_o this_o person_n but_o there_o be_v a_o evident_a difference_n betwixt_o the_o effect_n of_o this_o sickness_n upon_o he_o and_o many_o other_o before_o he_o have_v other_o sentiment_n of_o thing_n now_o he_o tell_v i_o and_o act_v upon_o quite_o different_a principle_n he_o be_v not_o vex_v with_o it_o as_o it_o be_v painful_a or_o hinder_v he_o from_o his_o sin_n which_o he_o will_v have_v roll_v under_o his_o tongue_n all_o the_o while_n and_o long_v again_o to_o

there_o be_v now_o no_o curse_n no_o rail_n or_o reproach_n to_o his_o servant_n or_o those_o about_o he_o which_o in_o other_o sickness_n be_v their_o usual_a entertainment_n but_o he_o treat_v they_o with_o all_o the_o meekness_n and_o patience_n in_o the_o world_n beg_v pardon_n frequent_o of_o the_o mean_a of_o they_o but_o for_o a_o hasty_a word_n which_o the_o extremity_n of_o his_o sickness_n and_o the_o sharpness_n of_o his_o pain_n may_v easy_o force_v from_o he_o his_o prayer_n be_v not_o so_o much_o for_o ease_n or_o health_n or_o a_o continuance_n in_o life_n as_o for_o grace_n and_o faith_n and_o perfect_a resignation_n to_o the_o will_n of_o god_n so_o that_o i_o think_v we_o may_v not_o only_o charitable_o but_o just_o conclude_v that_o his_o sickness_n be_v not_o the_o chief_a ingredient_n but_o through_o the_o grace_n of_o god_n a_o effectual_a mean_n of_o a_o true_a though_o late_a repentance_n 2._o and_o for_o that_o i_o be_o to_o account_v in_o the_o next_o place_n i_o mean_v the_o time_n of_o it_o and_o to_o make_v out_o to_o you_o that_o though_o it_o be_v a_o deathbed_n repentance_n and_o therefore_o full_a of_o danger_n and_o the_o utmost_a hazard_n yet_o it_o be_v not_o whole_o impossible_a to_o be_v true_a nor_o absolute_o desperate_a that_o it_o be_v huge_o dangerous_a and_o of_o the_o utmost_a hazard_n to_o defer_v it_o so_o long_o must_v needs_o be_v grant_v by_o all_o all_o wise_a and_o consider_a man_n i_o wish_v all_o man_n be_v so_o wise_a as_o serious_o to_o consider_v it_o and_o provide_v for_o it_o for_o shall_v god_n have_v snatch_v he_o away_o in_o the_o very_a act_n of_o his_o sin_n and_o that_o like_o zimri_n and_o cozhi_n dathan_n and_o abiram_n ananias_n or_o sapphira_n he_o have_v go_v down_o quick_a into_o hell_n yet_o we_o must_v have_v acknowledge_v that_o righteous_a be_v thou_o o_o lord_n and_o clear_v when_o thou_o be_v judge_v if_o god_n have_v take_v he_o from_o the_o land_n of_o the_o live_n either_o by_o some_o sudden_a accident_n by_o a_o rage_a fever_n or_o by_o some_o stupid_a lethargy_n or_o apoplexy_n when_o he_o have_v have_v no_o time_n for_o reflection_n or_o repentance_n in_o what_o a_o dreadful_a condition_n have_v his_o soul_n be_v for_o ever_o or_o if_o god_n have_v vouchsafe_v he_o as_o he_o do_v some_o sharp_a linger_a sickness_n when_o he_o may_v have_v have_v leisure_n to_o repent_v yet_o what_o assurance_n be_v there_o that_o such_o a_o repentance_n will_v have_v follow_v or_o if_o it_o have_v that_o it_o will_v have_v be_v accept_v be_v it_o not_o more_o likely_a that_o he_o will_v still_o have_v cry_v with_o the_o wise_a man_n sluggard_n yet_o a_o little_a sleep_n and_o a_o little_a slumber_n till_o poverty_n a_o dismal_a poverty_n come_v upon_o he_o but_o if_o he_o have_v resolve_v at_o that_o time_n to_o break_v off_o his_o sin_n by_o repentance_n yet_o alas_o how_o improper_a a_o time_n be_v that_o for_o it_o it_o be_v not_o easy_a to_o be_v present_a and_o consistent_a to_o ourselves_o when_o we_o be_v surround_v with_o disquiet_v if_o not_o stupify_a pain_n when_o there_o be_v a_o necessary_a decay_n and_o dulness_n of_o spirit_n a_o short_a memory_n flat_a and_o low_a affection_n and_o at_o the_o same_o time_n a_o more_o than_o ordinary_a hurry_n and_o surcharge_n of_o worldly_a business_n a_o house_n to_o be_v set_v in_o order_n

friend_n about_o we_o and_o certain_o we_o must_v think_v repentance_n a_o very_a easy_a task_n if_o we_o reckon_v ordinary_o that_o he_o that_o be_v disable_v from_o all_o other_o thing_n else_o shall_v yet_o be_v fit_a to_o perfect_v and_o complete_a it_o but_o allow_v our_o thought_n to_o be_v as_o clear_v or_o clear_a in_o our_o sickness_n than_o in_o our_o calm_a and_o strong_a season_n which_o yet_o i_o think_v no_o man_n in_o his_o wit_n will_v believe_v yet_o after_o all_o what_o security_n have_v we_o that_o we_o shall_v be_v able_a to_o improve_v or_o employ_v it_o to_o a_o

sign_n of_o repentance_n must_v follow_v the_o judgement_n of_o charity_n yet_o the_o certainty_n of_o the_o sinner_n absolution_n with_o god_n in_o heaven_n depend_v only_o upon_o the_o inward_a real_a sincerity_n of_o his_o repentance_n and_o consequent_o upon_o the_o approve_v of_o it_o by_o his_o future_a conversation_n and_o therefore_o god_n almighty_a who_o only_o know_v what_o the_o
