the_o rebuke_n that_o the_o offender_n will_v rather_o be_v ravish_v with_o the_o admiration_n of_o god_n grace_n in_o we_o than_o either_o scoff_n it_o or_o grow_v into_o a_o choler_n as_o many_o do_v but_o forasmuch_a as_o to_o man_n of_o a_o quiet_a nature_n which_o hate_v the_o reproach_n of_o a_o busy_a body_n the_o duty_n of_o instruction_n &_o admonish_v of_o other_o seem_v a_o hard_a imposition_n than_o they_o be_v willing_a to_o bear_v because_o there_o be_v not_o one_o among_o a_o thousand_o that_o will_v take_v it_o in_o good_a part_n it_o remain_v therefore_o that_o to_o that_o purpose_n we_o gather_v this_o three_o instruction_n from_o this_o title_n namely_o that_o man_n must_v make_v god_n proceed_n with_o their_o own_o conscience_n profitable_a for_o the_o edify_n of_o other_o give_v they_o instruction_n thereunto_o as_o here_o we_o see_v david_n do_v for_o it_o be_v the_o nature_n of_o faith_n to_o open_a man_n mouth_n and_o to_o labour_v to_o make_v many_o partaker_n of_o their_o conversion_n that_o love_n which_o follow_v true_a repentance_n be_v neither_o bashful_a nor_o fearful_a nor_o envious_a nor_o partial_a for_o when_o a_o man_n have_v once_o get_v a_o good_a conscience_n all_o the_o rest_n of_o his_o life_n after_o he_o spend_v in_o the_o instruction_n of_o other_o peter_n be_v convert_v must_v strengthen_v his_o brethren_n david_n be_v forgive_v must_v turn_v sinner_n to_o god_n i_o will_v say_v more_o nabuchadnetzar_n be_v restore_v publish_v the_o service_n of_o god_n to_o the_o heathen_a nay_o i_o will_v yet_o say_v more_o the_o woman_n of_o samaria_n be_v but_o a_o woman_n yet_o be_v reprove_v of_o her_o adultery_n &_o instruct_v by_o christ_n i_o will_v not_o say_v preach_v but_o say_v to_o her_o neighbour_n come_v see_v a_o man_n that_o tell_v i_o all_o that_o ever_o i_o do_v and_o if_o her_o instruction_n be_v chronicle_v in_o the_o gospel_n to_o her_o commendation_n sure_o the_o double_a silence_n and_o uncharitable_a quietness_n of_o those_o that_o will_v not_o meddle_v with_o other_o man_n matter_n to_o instruct_v they_o when_o occasion_n be_v offer_v in_o matter_n of_o so_o great_a weight_n must_v bear_v a_o note_n of_o their_o confusion_n and_o be_v mark_v with_o the_o black_a coal_n of_o cruelty_n and_o of_o soule-murther_n for_o what_o be_v it_o else_o when_o we_o say_v let_v they_o answer_v for_o themselves_o we_o will_v not_o put_v our_o finger_n in_o the_o fire_n for_o they_o as_o if_o cain_n have_v not_o murder_v his_o brother_n abel_n because_o he_o say_v what_o be_o i_o my_o brother_n keeper_n if_o we_o love_v god_n the_o same_o spirit_n be_v in_o we_o which_o be_v in_o david_n my_o eye_n say_v he_o gush_v out_o with_o tear_n because_o man_n keep_v not_o thy_o commandment_n if_o we_o love_v man_n the_o thread_n of_o our_o affection_n must_v be_v measure_v by_o our_o care_n to_o instruct_v they_o and_o we_o will_v save_v some_o by_o pluck_v they_o out_o of_o the_o fire_n with_o fear_n and_o if_o we_o love_v neither_o god_n nor_o man_n so_o that_o neither_o the_o dishonour_n of_o the_o head_n nor_o the_o hurt_n of_o the_o member_n will_v touch_v we_o it_o be_v because_o we_o ourselves_o be_v member_n of_o another_o body_n and_o not_o of_o christ_n which_o be_v the_o head_n of_o his_o church_n psalm_n 32._o 1_o bless_a be_v he_o which_o be_v lift_v up_o

of_o the_o title_n now_o follow_v the_o psalm_n itself_o who_o principal_a question_n be_v that_o there_o be_v no_o quietness_n of_o conscience_n nor_o forgiveness_n of_o sin_n where_o there_o be_v no_o sincere_a confession_n of_o the_o same_o which_o david_n prove_v by_o his_o own_o example_n inform_v we_o thereby_o that_o as_o he_o so_o long_o as_o he_o hold_v his_o peace_n and_o conceal_v his_o sin_n can_v not_o be_v rid_v of_o the_o horrible_a sense_n of_o god_n wrath_n no_o more_o can_v any_o of_o we_o how-so-eve_a otherwise_o we_o travail_v in_o conversion_n as_o he_o do_v if_o we_o be_v sour_v with_o the_o leaven_n of_o like_a hypocrisy_n and_o to_o the_o end_n that_o we_o shall_v not_o be_v secure_a in_o the_o ratify_n of_o a_o good_a conscience_n or_o make_v light_n of_o the_o spyse_n of_o despair_n which_o be_v in_o we_o when_o we_o have_v no_o atonement_n with_o god_n by_o the_o feel_n of_o forgiveness_n he_o set_v down_o the_o contrary_a effect_n of_o a_o conscience_n enlarge_v by_o god_n grace_n and_o cheer_v up_o with_o the_o remission_n of_o sin_n and_o of_o the_o heart_n fraught_v with_o despair_n and_o torment_v with_o the_o terror_n of_o condemnation_n

the_o prophet_n say_v that_o when_o god_n lift_v up_o his_o child_n from_o their_o sin_n and_o assure_v their_o conscience_n of_o his_o love_n he_o make_v they_o bless_v whereout_o we_o learn_v that_o this_o indeed_o be_v that_o sovereign_a good_a and_o high_a felicity_n yea_o the_o high_a and_o only_a happiness_n which_o can_v be_v enjoy_v in_o this_o life_n to_o be_v discharge_v of_o a_o evil_a

run_v cheerful_o &_o labour_v serious_o for_o a_o good_a conscience_n there_o be_v no_o doubt_n but_o that_o ungodlie_a man_n do_v many_o time_n hold_v in_o admiration_n the_o security_n and_o free_a estate_n of_o godly_a and_o virtuous_a man_n when_o they_o see_v they_o stand_v unmoveable_a as_o mount_n zion_n when_o heaven_n and_o earth_n be_v mingle_v together_o because_o they_o themselves_o have_v many_o secret_a sting_n and_o be_v often_o stab_v at_o the_o hart_n who_o in_o worldly_a respect_n have_v less_o cause_n to_o fear_v then_o the_o sheep_n of_o christ_n flock_n those_o therefore_o which_o rejoice_v not_o thus_o in_o the_o heart_n howsoever_o they_o rejoice_v in_o the_o face_n must_v attend_v unto_o this_o ministry_n of_o grace_n for_o to_o what_o purpose_n do_v the_o lord_n open_v man_n eye_n to_o see_v the_o sweet_a &_o bless_a estate_n of_o such_o as_o have_v humble_v themselves_o to_o walk_v with_o god_n their_o confidence_n stand_v before_o god_n their_o

let_v they_o see_v the_o riches_n of_o a_o good_a conscience_n but_o to_o set_v their_o tooth_n a_o edge_n at_o it_o &_o to_o ravish_v they_o with_o a_o desire_n of_o the_o like_a so_o than_o we_o see_v that_o the_o lord_n make_v a_o offer_n of_o his_o grace_n unto_o we_o &_o entice_v we_o by_o these_o example_n that_o henceforwarde_o if_o we_o profit_v not_o thereby_o our_o condemnation_n
