my_o pardon_v mercy_n and_o shall_v my_o creature_n seek_v after_o it_o for_o no_o other_o end_n nor_o high_a aim_n but_o mere_o to_o save_v their_o own_o skin_n you_o bring_v down_o the_o grace_n

be_v a_o great_a dishonour_n to_o his_o grace_n 2._o it_o be_v the_o worst_a time_n because_o you_o come_v to_o seek_v after_o pardon_v grace_n when_o it_o be_v the_o time_n of_o god_n wrath_n prov._n 11.4_o the_o time_n of_o affliction_n and_o trouble_v sickness_n and_o death_n be_v call_v the_o day_n of_o wrath_n riches_n avail_v not_o in_o the_o day_n of_o god_n wrath_n riches_n avail_v for_o

that_o he_o will_v grant_v mercy_n in_o the_o day_n of_o wrath_n while_o you_o be_v alive_a and_o have_v liberty_n health_n and_o opportunity_n to_o come_v to_o hear_v the_o doctrine_n of_o the_o

now_o if_o god_n deny_v you_o grace_n in_o this_o day_n of_o mercy_n that_o you_o be_v not_o so_o much_o as_o enlighten_v your_o soul_n melt_v and_o your_o heart_n stir_v do_v you_o think_v that_o now_o you_o be_v upon_o your_o sick-bed_n or_o deathbed_n which_o be_v a_o day_n of_o wrath_n unto_o you_o for_o so_o it_o be_v to_o those_o that_o have_v not_o their_o sin_n pardon_v before_o it_o be_v a_o day_n of_o wrath_n and_o god_n time_n of_o visit_v for_o sin_n be_v it_o likely_a that_o god_n will_v now_o show_v thou_o mercy_n i_o beseech_v you_o consider_v the_o usual_a way_n of_o god_n work_v on_o man_n be_v according_a to_o his_o ordinance_n now_o the_o ordinary_a way_n of_o god_n convey_v grace_n be_v by_o the_o ministry_n of_o the_o word_n do_v god_n ever_o appoint_v any_o

in_o his_o own_o appoint_a way_n it_o be_v not_o likely_a he_o will_v come_v any_o other_o way_n i_o remember_v in_o a_o treatise_n of_o mr._n bolton_n he_o have_v this_o expression_n let_v any_o

before_o in_o the_o ordinance_n of_o grace_n wrought_v upon_o they_o than_o it_o must_v needs_o be_v the_o worst_a time_n that_o can_v be_v to_o seek_v pardon_n of_o sin_n in_o a_o day_n of_o

of_o it_o to_o himself_o as_o it_o be_v the_o excellent_a work_n that_o ever_o a_o creature_n do_v perform_v so_o it_o do_v require_v the_o most_o exquisite_a work_n of_o the_o spirit_n that_o ever_o be_v require_v or_o that_o ever_o any_o creature_n be_v set_v about_o it_o be_v the_o most_o intensive_a work_n of_o the_o spirit_n of_o man_n the_o applying_z of_o the_o grace_n of_o god_n in_o

be_v in_o the_o world_n and_o it_o require_v the_o great_a intenseness_n and_o strength_n of_o a_o man_n spirit_n that_o ever_o any_o work_n do_v now_o then_o to_o put_v this_o off_o till_o such_o a_o

he_o to_o bear_v his_o pain_n this_o must_v needs_o be_v the_o worst_a time_n you_o be_v mistake_v if_o you_o think_v the_o apply_v of_o god_n mercy_n in_o christ_n be_v but_o in_o say_v lord_n have_v mercy_n upon_o i_o no_o it_o be_v god_n put_v the_o heart_n of_o man_n to_o do_v the_o most_o glorious_a work_n that_o have_v the_o great_a operation_n in_o it_o that_o ever_o he_o do_v i_o remember_v it_o relate_v of_o one_o that_o live_v wicked_o and_o divers_a seek_v to_o reclaim_v he_o say_v he_o come_v when_o i_o be_o upon_o my_o sick_a bed_n that_o be_v time_n enough_o and_o afterward_o he_o be_v sick_a be_v put_v in_o mind_n of_o it_o you_o say_v you_o will_v do_v it_o then_o but_o then_o he_o swear_v a_o great_a oath_n say_v what_o be_v this_o a_o time_n to_o repent_v in_o because_o he_o then_o feel_v so_o much_o trouble_v and_o anguish_n that_o take_v up_o his_o thought_n that_o he_o be_v stir_v with_o indignation_n to_o be_v put_v upon_o repent_v then_o in_o a_o time_n when_o

the_o worst_a time_n because_o god_n shall_v lose_v a_o great_a part_n of_o his_o end_n in_o pardon_v sin_n for_o when_o god_n pardon_v sin_n it_o be_v to_o this_o end_n that_o his_o poor_a creature_n may_v honour_v and_o worship_v he_o in_o ●his_fw-la world_n and_o do_v he_o service_n but_o now_o to_o seek_v for_o god_n pardon_v grace_n when_o thou_o can_v do_v he_o no_o more_o service_n in_o this_o world_n how_o can_v thou_o think_v that_o he_o will_v accept_v thou_o then_o he_o come_v to_o redeem_v we_o that_o we_o may_v serve_v he_o in_o holiness_n and_o righteousness_n all_o the_o day_n of_o our_o life_n and_o he_o know_v there_o be_v no_o such_o way_n to_o engage_v the_o heart_n of_o man_n to_o serve_v he_o as_o pardon_v grace_n for_o when_o once_o a_o soul_n see_v itself_o deliver_v from_o those_o enemy_n of_o sin_n and_o of_o the_o law_n that_o will_v destroy_v he_o his_o heart_n will_v be_v mighty_o set_v to_o honour_n god_n and_o serve_v he_o in_o holiness_n and_o righteousness_n all_o his_o day_n and_o therefore_o to_o seek_v for_o pardon_v when_o thou_o can_v do_v god_n no_o more_o service_n in_o this_o world_n must_v needs_o be_v the_o worst_a time_n for_o how_o know_v thou_o that_o he_o will_v accept_v thou_o then_o i_o beseech_v you_o observe_v one_o text_n of_o scripture_n that_o be_v abuse_v by_o many_o people_n for_o i_o suppose_v that_o i_o be_o speak_v to_o a_o great_a many_o very_a ignorant_a in_o the_o way_n of_o god_n and_o therefore_o i_o desire_v to_o speak_v plain_o unto_o you_o there_o be_v one_o place_n though_o misapprehend_v and_o

come_v into_o the_o church_n but_o how_o they_o creep_v in_o cunning_o the_o saint_n of_o god_n be_v not_o aware_a of_o they_o they_o creep_v in_o among_o they_o here_o by_o the_o way_n we_o may_v

will_v not_o have_v communion_n with_o any_o church_n because_o there_o be_v some_o wicked_a man_n in_o it_o and_o other_o say_v while_o there_o be_v a_o church_n on_o earth_n the_o tare_n will_v be_v

that_o some_o ungodly_a one_o may_v creep_v into_o it_o but_o consider_v to_o have_v some_o evil_a one_o in_o the_o church_n be_v one_o thing_n and_o the_o church_n to_o have_v power_n to_o cast_v they_o out_o that_o be_v another_o thing_n it_o be_v true_a they_o will_v creep_v into_o the_o church_n but_o when_o they_o be_v creep_v in_o and_o appear_v to_o be_v ungodly_a one_o we_o must_v do_v our_o duty_n tell_v they_o of_o their_o fault_n and_o if_o they_o will_v not_o hear_v we_o we_o must_v tell_v it_o to_o the_o church_n and_o if_o the_o church_n have_v power_n and_o will_v not_o

they_o or_o whether_o we_o can_v join_v with_o that_o church_n wherein_o there_o be_v no_o power_n to_o keep_v they_o out_o and_o after_o they_o be_v creep_v in_o to_o cast_v they_o out_o they_o will_v creep_v into_o the_o church_n they_o come_v in_o unaware_o but_o the_o state_n of_o the_o church_n shall_v be_v such_o that_o they_o shall_v suffer_v no_o evil_a man_n to_o come_v in_o and_o if_o they_o do_v come_v in_o it_o be_v unaware_o to_o the_o church_n by_o make_v a_o profession_n of_o religion_n for_o the_o church_n can_v go_v no_o further_o than_o what_o do_v outward_o appear_v

way_n it_o may_v be_v thou_o have_v a_o hard_a heart_n and_o will_v not_o pardon_v one_o that_o provoke_v thou_o again_o and_o again_o thou_o will_v not_o pass_v by_o such_o and_o such_o offence_n and_o thou_o think_v god_n be_v so_o too_o thou_o think_v god_n to_o be_v like_o thyself_o and_o that_o he_o can_v bear_v with_o thou_o in_o such_o and_o such_o thing_n because_o thou_o can_v not_o
