shall_v thereby_o profit_v in_o repentance_n it_o sin_n unrepented_a what_o be_v the_o effect_n follow_v it_o among_o many_o good_a mean_n to_o draw_v man_n to_o unfeigned_a repentance_n of_o their_o sin_n before_o god_n and_o in_o their_o own_o heart_n this_o i_o think_v shall_v not_o be_v of_o the_o least_o force_n well_o and_o deep_o to_o weigh_v the_o fearful_a effect_n that_o fin_n unrepented_a of_o bring_v forth_o in_o the_o sight_n of_o god_n and_o man_n and_o in_o their_o own_o mind_n that_o live_v so_o impenitent_o 1._o first_o it_o quench_v yea_o drive_v away_o the_o power_n and_o work_n of_o god_n spirit_n in_o we_o which_o be_v most_o holy_a and_o pure_a of_o itself_o can_v abide_v to_o dwell_v in_o much_o less_o to_o work_v effectual_o in_o a_o unclean_a soul_n and_o impenitent_a heart_n 2_o second_o it_o hinder_v we_o from_o the_o right_n and_o holy_a profit_n that_o we_o may_v receive_v by_o the_o word_n of_o god_n which_o be_v not_o profitable_a nor_o powerful_a in_o any_o but_o those_o that_o tremble_v thereat_o as_o god_n speak_v in_o esay_n 3_o three_o it_o shut_v our_o mouth_n from_o invocation_n prayer_n and_o call_v upon_o god_n name_n for_o how_o can_v we_o call_v upon_o he_o in_o who_o we_o believe_v not_o or_o how_o can_v we_o be_v say_v to_o believe_v while_o we_o continue_v in_o our_o sin_n 4_o four_o it_o cause_v god_n to_o stop_v his_o ear_n from_o hear_v our_o prayer_n or_o grant_v our_o request_n for_o god_n hear_v not_o sinner_n and_o again_o the_o prayer_n of_o the_o wicked_a be_v abominable_a as_o the_o scripture_n say_v 5_o last_o it_o provoke_v god_n that_o of_o his_o own_o nature_n be_v most_o inclinable_a unto_o all_o mercy_n through_o our_o sin_n to_o let_v in_o upon_o we_o all_o the_o flood_n of_o his_o eternal_a justice_n to_o our_o fearful_a confusion_n our_o sin_n and_o nothing_o else_o make_v a_o separation_n betwixt_o we_o and_o god_n as_o the_o prophet_n affirm_v 17._o isay_n 17._o among_o many_o thing_n person_n sin_n to_o be_v repress_v because_o it_o bring_v judgement_n upon_o all_o estate_n and_o person_n that_o shall_v repress_v the_o rage_n of_o sin_n before_o we_o fall_v or_o else_o shall_v move_v we_o to_o unfeigned_a repentance_n after_o sin_n be_v commit_v this_o i_o think_v shall_v be_v one_o of_o great_a force_n and_o power_n namely_o that_o even_o some_o particular_a man_n sin_n unrepented_a of_o or_o wink_v at_o and_o not_o punish_v may_v and_o do_v just_o provoke_v god_n heavy_a indignation_n against_o all_o estate_n and_o person_n 1_o as_o first_o for_o example_n against_o the_o magistrate_n because_o that_o god_n have_v put_v the_o sword_n of_o holy_a authority_n into_o their_o hand_n for_o the_o punishment_n of_o evil_a and_o maintenance_n of_o good_a they_o have_v not_o according_a to_o god_n word_n their_o duty_n and_o the_o heinousness_n of_o the_o offence_n punish_v the_o same_o 2_o against_o minister_n 22._o malac._n 22._o because_o god_n have_v put_v into_o their_o mouth_n the_o word_n of_o truth_n and_o appoint_v they_o thereby_o to_o cut_v down_o sin_n they_o contrary_a unto_o god_n express_a commandment_n and_o their_o own_o conscience_n and_o calling_n have_v be_v tongue-tied_a and_o dare_v not_o speak_v 3_o against_o the_o people_n because_o that_o they_o keep_v themselves_o notwithstanding_o in_o the_o compass_n of_o their_o christiancal_v have_v not_o by_o sharp_a reproof_n either_o show_v their_o dislike_n of_o the_o sin_n commit_v or_o their_o love_n labour_v the_o conversion_n of_o the_o offend_a party_n 4_o and_o against_o the_o party_n commit_v it_o because_o they_o through_o impenitency_n and_o hard_a heartedness_n continue_v in_o sin_n and_o have_v few_o or_o no_o mean_n for_o their_o reclaim_n can_v not_o but_o look_v for_o fearful_a indignation_n and_o wrath_n from_o the_o lord_n for_o the_o same_o but_o the_o wicked_a do_v defer_v their_o repentance_n not_o think_v god_n judgement_n to_o be_v at_o hand_n when_o as_o indeed_o the_o lord_n have_v stretch_v out_o his_o arm_n already_o to_o strike_v but_o it_o be_v otherwise_o with_o the_o child_n of_o god_n who_o be_v not_o draw_v by_o a_o slavish_a fear_n of_o punishment_n unto_o obedience_n but_o rather_o of_o a_o childlike_a love_n they_o bear_v unto_o god_n their_o father_n through_z and_o by_o which_o love_n they_o perform_v willing_o that_o which_o the_o lord_n have_v command_v according_a to_o that_o measure_n of_o grace_n which_o god_n have_v give_v they_o omit_v also_o the_o contrary_a through_o love_n which_o obedience_n be_v no_o doubt_n acceptable_a to_o god_n the_o lord_n for_o his_o christ_n sake_n touch_v our_o heart_n with_o such_o love_n to_o his_o majesty_n that_o all_o our_o way_n may_v please_v he_o and_o that_o as_o we_o have_v enjoy_v many_o year_n of_o peace_n and_o plenty_n of_o temporary_a blessing_n with_o the_o preach_n of_o his_o glorious_a gospel_n under_o the_o reign_n of_o our_o most_o dread_a sovereign_n so_o let_v we_o call_v upon_o his_o name_n for_o the_o continuance_n of_o all_o his_o mercy_n with_o the_o preservation_n of_o our_o gracious_a queen_n that_o although_o our_o sin_n have_v provoke_v the_o contrary_a yet_o that_o he_o will_v grant_v we_o these_o thing_n for_o his_o christ_n his_o sake_n our_o only_a lord_n and_o saviour_n to_o who_o with_o god_n the_o

as_o we_o have_v hear_v how_o dangerous_a outward_a enemy_n be_v unto_o we_o and_o how_o they_o labour_v by_o all_o way_n and_o mean_n to_o overthrow_v religion_n both_o general_o and_o particular_o
