infelici_fw-la fraud_n posuit_fw-la if_o say_v this_o father_n we_o respect_v his_o opportunity_n for_o attain_v faith_n his_o repentance_n be_v not_o late_o but_o early_o he_o take_v the_o very_a first_o season_n as_o soon_o as_o ever_o he_o descry_v christ_n and_o religion_n he_o ready_o embrace_v they_o he_o do_v not_o wretched_o cheat_v himself_o of_o the_o remedy_n of_o his_o miserable_a

of_o our_o time_n compare_v themselves_o if_o they_o please_v with_o the_o example_n of_o the_o text_n let_v they_o see_v if_o they_o can_v extract_v any_o comfort_n or_o encouragement_n from_o hence_o will_v they_o say_v indeed_o that_o they_o never_o have_v any_o call_n to_o repentance_n will_v they_o pretend_v that_o there_o be_v never_o offer_v they_o any_o opportunity_n to_o be_v acquaint_v with_o christ_n alas_o how_o oft_o have_v christ_n be_v crucify_a before_o their_o eye_n in_o the_o ministry_n of_o the_o word_n how_o oft_o have_v they_o see_v he_o in_o the_o sacrament_n bleed_v for_o their_o sin_n have_v they_o not_o have_v line_n upon_o line_n and_o precept_n upon_o precept_n have_v they_o not_o have_v private_a and_o public_a admonition_n how_o many_o national_a judgement_n and_o calamity_n have_v call_v aloud_o for_o their_o humiliation_n how_o many_o public_a mercy_n and_o deliverance_n have_v invite_v they_o to_o the_o duty_n sure_o then_o they_o can_v draw_v a_o parallel_n between_o their_o own_o case_n and_o the_o case_n of_o the_o thief_n they_o can_v at_o the_o hour_n of_o death_n expect_v any_o comfort_n or_o consolation_n from_o his_o example_n two_o consider_v how_o remarkable_a how_o wonderful_a how_o extraordinary_a the_o repentance_n of_o this_o thief_n be_v as_o jewel_n contain_v vast_a riches_n in_o a_o little_a room_n so_o his_o short_a life_n of_o penitency_n have_v a_o whole_a age_n of_o repentance_n in_o it_o though_o his_o repentance_n have_v but_o a_o little_a time_n to_o breath_n in_o yet_o how_o busy_a how_o active_a how_o vigorous_a be_v it_o in_o all_o the_o great_a and_o important_a part_n of_o hearty_a mortification_n 1._o we_o may_v view_v here_o in_o the_o text_n his_o deep_a sense_n and_o humble_a

enim_fw-la poenitentiae_fw-la signum_fw-la in_o poena_fw-la sua_fw-la acquiescere_fw-la it_o be_v a_o great_a sign_n of_o true_a repentance_n say_v grotius_n patient_o to_o bear_v the_o punishment_n

sinner_n among_o we_o who_o put_v off_o their_o repentance_n to_o the_o time_n of_o sickness_n how_o rare_o do_v we_o find_v in_o they_o such_o a_o deep_a sense_n of_o their_o sin_n and_o a_o serious_a humiliation_n for_o they_o how_o lame_a be_v their_o confession_n and_o for_o the_o most_o part_n but_o general_n minister_n when_o they_o come_v to_o visit_v they_o in_o their_o sickness_n

may_v be_v bury_v with_o they_o in_o the_o same_o grave_a thus_o the_o clinic_n of_o the_o age_n do_v general_o fall_v short_a of_o the_o example_n in_o the_o text_n as_o to_o this_o part_n of_o

he_o show_v great_a charity_n to_o his_o fellow_n thief_n and_o labour_v to_o bring_v he_o to_o a_o hearty_a humiliation_n for_o his_o transgression_n see_v how_o his_o compassion_n to_o his_o soul_n display_v itself_o in_o his_o passionate_a expostulation_n with_o he_o what_o say_v he_o do_v thou_o not_o fear_v god_n be_v this_o a_o time_n for_o thou_o to_o revile_v this_o innocent_a person_n who_o have_v do_v nothing_o amiss_o it_o will_v better_o become_v thou_o to_o reflect_v upon_o thy_o former_a life_n to_o call_v thy_o past_a sin_n to_o remembrance_n and_o spend_v that_o little_a breath_n which_o be_v leave_v thou_o in_o sue_v for_o a_o pardon_n at_o the_o throne_n of_o grace_n sure_o thy_o heart_n must_v be_v hard_a than_o a_o adamant_n if_o death_n that_o king_n of_o terror_n have_v no_o dart_n that_o can_v pierce_v it_o what_o say_v he_o do_v thou_o not_o at_o such_o a_o time_n as_o this_o fear_n god_n thus_o great_a thus_o remarkable_a be_v his_o charity_n to_o the_o soul_n of_o his_o fellow-thief_n but_o alas_o how_o cold_n be_v that_o charity_n which_o the_o clinic_n of_o the_o age_n express_v for_o the_o soul_n of_o other_o though_o they_o have_v be_v all_o their_o life_n time_n factor_n for_o hell_n and_o save_v the_o devil_n the_o labour_n of_o tempt_v man_n to_o sin_n though_o they_o have_v delight_v former_o in_o put_v the_o bottle_n to_o their_o neighbour_n mouth_n and_o even_o glory_v when_o they_o have_v be_v able_a to_o drink_v they_o into_o brute_n though_o they_o have_v entice_v they_o to_o all_o sort_n of_o lust_n and_o make_v they_o bear_v a_o share_n in_o all_o their_o debauchery_n yet_o in_o their_o sickness_n how_o seldom_o do_v they_o send_v for_o their_o boon_n companion_n how_o seldom_o do_v they_o endeavour_v to_o rid_v their_o soul_n of_o the_o guilt_n of_o other_o man_n sin_n if_o their_o brethren_n in_o iniquity_n come_v at_o any_o time_n unsent_a for_o and_o have_v so_o much_o civility_n as_o to_o visit_v they_o in_o their_o sickness_n how_o frothy_a at_o least_o how_o unseasonable_a be_v their_o discourse_n when_o do_v we_o hear_v they_o remind_v they_o of_o their_o former_a debauchery_n tell_v they_o the_o danger_n of_o they_o and_o by_o ghostly_a admonition_n labour_v to_o draw_v they_o out_o of_o the_o snare_n of_o the_o devil_n and_o since_o they_o be_v so_o unlike_o this_o penitent_a thief_n in_o their_o charity_n for_o the_o soul_n of_o other_o they_o have_v little_a reason_n to_o encourage_v themselves_o by_o his_o example_n but_o 3_o consider_v far_o what_o a_o strong_a prodigious_a faith_n do_v live_v and_o act_v in_o this_o penitent_a thief_n when_o he_o be_v a_o die_a we_o find_v in_o the_o text_n he_o believe_v christ_n to_o have_v be_v a_o just_a person_n even_o when_o he_o be_v number_v among_o transgressor_n he_o pronounce_v that_o our_o saviour_n have_v do_v nothing_o amiss_o notwithstanding_o the_o great_a sanhedrim_n have_v pronounce_v he_o worthy_a of_o death_n yea_o the_o death_n of_o the_o cross_n and_o fit_a to_o be_v hang_v between_o two_o thief_n this_o be_v a_o strange_a prodigious_a faith_n indeed_o and_o yet_o do_v it_o exert_v more_o prodigious_a act_n than_o these_o for_o he_o far_o believe_v that_o christ_n have_v a_o kingdom_n and_o that_o a_o kingdom_n of_o another_o world_n and_o therefore_o he_o say_v to_o our_o saviour_n at_o the_o point_n of_o death_n lord_n remember_v i_o when_o thou_o come_v into_o thy_o kingdom_n what_o a_o strong_a prodigious_a faith_n be_v here_o the_o wise_a of_o the_o jew_n dream_v of_o nothing_o so_o much_o as_o a_o temporal_a kingdom_n yea_o his_o own_o disciple_n be_v deficient_a in_o this_o great_a article_n of_o their_o faith_n they_o be_v for_o sit_v at_o his_o right_a hand_n and_o at_o his_o left_a hand_n in_o some_o worldly_a empire_n nay_o after_o christ_n have_v give_v several_a check_n to_o their_o misguide_a ambition_n we_o find_v they_o still_o harp_v on_o this_o string_n and_o at_o the_o very_a time_n of_o his_o ascension_n put_v this_o foolish_a question_n to_o he_o lord_n will_v thou_o at_o this_o time_n restore_v again_o the_o kingdom_n unto_o israel_n act._n 1._o 6._o but_o this_o penitent_a thief_n desire_v no_o earthly_a glory_n he_o beg_v not_o to_o sit_v at_o his_o right_a hand_n or_o at_o his_o left_a but_o lord_n say_v he_o remember_v i_o after_o death_n when_o thou_o come_v into_o thy_o kingdom_n these_o be_v strange_a and_o wonderful_a act_n of_o his_o faith_n and_o yet_o not_o all_o that_o be_v here_o record_v in_o the_o
