Wherein divers weighty cases are resolved in relation to all those particulars: delivered in divers sermons preached at Mildreds in Bread-street London, on Psalm 19. 12, 13. Together with the remissibleness of all sin, and the irremissibleness of the sin against the Holy Ghost preached before an honourable auditory. By that reverend and faithfull minister of the Gospel, Mr. Obadiah Sedgwick, B.D. Perfected by himself, and published by those whom he intrusted with his notes.

for_o comfort_v to_o such_o as_o be_v upright_o some_o of_o they_o at_o this_o time_n 1._o one_o comfort_n be_v this_o that_o there_o be_v a_o gracious_a acceptance_n of_o their_o weak_a service_n the_o king_n of_o persia_n do_v lovingly_z accept_v the_o poor_a man_n handful_n of_o water_n and_o put_v it_o into_o a_o golden_a vessel_n service_n there_o be_v a_o gracious_a acceptance_n of_o their_o weak_a service_n and_o give_v he_o that_o vessel_n of_o gold_n to_o set_v this_o on_o consider_v first_o that_o all_o our_o holy_a service_n they_o be_v the_o tithe_n as_o it_o be_v of_o our_o

and_o to_o please_v he_o second_o that_o the_o best_a service_n be_v imperfect_a as_o no_o man_n do_v so_o much_o as_o he_o shall_v so_o the_o best_a christian_n do_v not_o so_o well_o as_o he_o shall_v look_v as_o the_o high_a grace_n be_v still_o in_o defect_n so_o the_o most_o solemn_a duty_n be_v still_o in_o default_n it_o be_v with_o the_o best_a man_n in_o duty_n as_o with_o the_o

weak_a in_o our_o foot_n that_o be_v not_o good_a which_o be_v do_v by_o a_o good_a man_n and_o though_o he_o do_v much_o which_o god_n do_v reward_n yet_o he_o do_v nothing_o so_o complete_o but_o god_n need_v in_o something_o or_o other_o of_o it_o to_o pardon_v and_o cover_v not_o only_o our_o sin_n can_v accuse_v we_o but_o some_o sinfulness_n in_o our_o best_a action_n no_o man_n pray_v

in_o the_o revelation_n cast_v these_o crown_n down_o to_o the_o ground_n three_o that_o by_o reason_n of_o these_o imperfection_n in_o duty_n there_o be_v more_o reason_n in_o a_o strict_a way_n of_o justice_n that_o god_n shall_v reject_v all_o then_o that_o he_o shall_v accept_v of_o any_o thing_n belove_a it_o be_v grant_v that_o god_n do_v not_o reject_v the_o service_n of_o his_o servant_n nay_o as_o he_o do_v requite_v they_o so_o he_o will_v accept_v of_o they_o and_o reward_v they_o but_o this_o be_v not_o for_o the_o dignity_n of_o the_o servant_n but_o from_o the_o graciousnesse_n of_o the_o master_n for_o if_o god_n shall_v answer_v any_o imperfect_a service_n yea_o that_o which_o have_v but_o a_o very_a little_a and_o particular_a imperfection_n suppose_v they_o to_o be_v some_o contrary_a transient_a thought_n or_o some_o thin_a indisposition_n hang_v about_o we_o in_o our_o duty_n i_o say_v if_o god_n shall_v answer_v they_o from_o the_o court_n of_o pure_a justice_n you_o shall_v find_v that_o the_o mixture_n of_o a_o little_a sin_n will_v easy_o cry_v down_o the_o acceptance_n of_o much_o good_a the_o most_o good_a which_o i_o bring_v in_o my_o service_n it_o be_v but_o duty_n and_o the_o least_o evil_n which_o i_o bring_v be_v beside_o the_o duty_n and_o the_o evil_a in_o duty_n be_v not_o able_a to_o make_v that_o part_n which_o be_v good_a to_o be_v bad_a yet_o it_o be_v able_a to_o shut_v out_o the_o service_n from_o acceptance_n because_o by_o reason_n of_o that_o evil_a the_o
