that_o which_o will_v be_v gainsayed_n it_o have_v be_v a_o great_a dispute_n among_o man_n whether_o repentance_n go_v before_o faith_n or_o faith_n repentance_n i_o shall_v not_o err_v against_o

than_o it_o will_v necessary_o follow_v that_o faith_n ought_v to_o be_v preach_v before_o repentance_n for_o i_o judge_v faith_n to_o be_v the_o instrumental_a cause_n of_o repentance_n and_o not_o repentance_n the_o cause_n of_o faith_n it_o be_v true_a that_o in_o the_o conversion_n of_o a_o sinner_n to_o god_n faith_n and_o repentance_n ever_o go_v together_o yet_o faith_n be_v the_o

for_o the_o most_o part_n discover_v before_o faith_n to_o man_n therefore_o man_n judge_v that_o repentance_n be_v and_o must_v be_v before_o faith_n i_o answer_v first_o that_o it_o will_v not_o

of_o true_a faith_n i_o never_o find_v in_o scripture_n that_o any_o do_v true_o repent_v before_o faith_n job_n in_o his_o last_o chapter_n when_o he_o have_v see_v the_o lord_n he_o abhor_v

a_o union_n to_o and_o with_o the_o object_n for_o no_o man_n can_v delight_v in_o that_o which_o he_o neither_o know_v nor_o affect_v and_o indeed_o these_o two_o be_v the_o wing_n of_o the_o soul_n that_o heighten_v this_o joy_n now_o in_o the_o order_n of_o joy_n these_o two_o thing_n much_o aggravate_v it_o first_o contemplation_n in_o the_o mind_n of_o man_n fix_v upon_o the_o object_n for_o

be_v sweet_a to_o i_o for_o serious_a meditation_n carry_v this_o soul_n sometime_o in_o a_o rapture_n above_o itself_o and_o when_o a_o saint_n come_v to_o apprehend_v their_o infinite_a good_a in_o

appearance_n of_o any_o good_a to_o we_o surprise_v the_o soul_n with_o much_o joy_n as_o the_o long_a departure_n of_o a_o dear_a friend_n his_o return_n to_o we_o not_o look_v for_o or_o expect_v cause_v more_o joy_n then_o if_o he_o have_v give_v notice_n of_o his_o come_n the_o reason_n of_o this_o be_v because_o they_o surprise_v we_o and_o so_o stir_v up_o that_o affection_n in_o we_o more_o earnest_o sudden_a joy_n have_v so_o wrought_v upon_o some_o body_n that_o they_o have_v die_v pleasant_o in_o the_o midst_n of_o their_o joy_n i_o know_v a_o man_n in_o christ_n two_o year_n

so_o transport_v beyond_o themselves_o that_o they_o have_v forget_v their_o worldly_a business_n and_o be_v as_o man_n lose_v to_o reason_n 2._o the_o second_o be_v strength_n of_o desire_n for_o strong_a desire_n be_v never_o at_o rest_n until_o they_o be_v satiate_v with_o the_o object_n of_o their_o desire_n for_o desire_n be_v like_o a_o woman_n with_o child_n never_o quiet_v till_o she_o
