of_o impiety_n to_o think_v it_o unlawful_a to_o beg_v pardon_n of_o sin_n therefore_o it_o come_v from_o another_o because_o god_n see_v no_o sin_n in_o his_o child_n but_o whence_o come_v this_o here_o be_v a_o ill_a bird_n and_o a_o ill_a egg_n yet_o it_o have_v a_o dam_n that_o be_v old_a still_o that_o be_v as_o damnable_a as_o either_o that_o be_v that_o christian_n be_v not_o tie_v to_o any_o obedience_n of_o the_o moral_a law_n because_o they_o be_v bring_v under_o the_o obedience_n of_o christ_n see_v how_o they_o hang_v like_o samson_n fox_n that_o be_v tie_v after_o a_o disorderly_a manner_n first_o the_o devil_n possess_v their_o heart_n that_o there_o be_v no_o obedience_n to_o the_o law_n of_o god_n and_o thereby_o he_o stop_v up_o the_o fountain_n of_o all_o piety_n if_o there_o be_v no_o obedience_n to_o the_o law_n it_o must_v needs_o follow_v that_o there_o can_v be_v no_o sin_n for_o there_o be_v no_o sin_n without_o the_o transgression_n of_o the_o

this_o prayer_n take_v away_o iniquity_n nor_o that_o of_o christ_n forgive_v we_o our_o trespass_n there_o be_v not_o any_o of_o all_o these_o opinion_n but_o they_o be_v as_o i_o conceive_v spring_v from_o the_o misunderstanding_n of_o some_o orthodox_n point_n in_o divinity_n that_o people_n not_o well_o understand_v themselves_o do_v wrest_v as_o the_o point_n of_o justification_n only_o by_o

not_o follow_v because_o faith_n only_o justify_v that_o thereupon_o they_o conclude_v what_o have_v we_o to_o do_v with_o work_n and_o obedience_n of_o the_o law_n that_o be_v a_o mistake_n for_o god_n though_o he_o justify_v we_o without_o work_n he_o require_v obedience_n as_o a_o fruit_n of_o justification_n and_o as_o a_o special_a pledge_n of_o that_o grace_n that_o he_o work_v in_o the_o heart_n there_o be_v the_o mistake_n of_o that_o the_o other_o and_o a_o second_o branch_n come_v from_o the_o mistake_n of_o another_o point_n that_o be_v comfortable_a and_o have_v its_o foundation_n in_o the_o book_n of_o god_n that_o he_o that_o be_v true_o in_o the_o state_n of_o sonship_n can_v fall_v final_o that_o be_v a_o fundamental_a point_n and_o of_o great_a consequence_n and_o that_o be_v clear_a because_o else_o god_n promise_v shall_v not_o be_v true_a if_o god_n be_v mutable_a and_o shall_v bring_v we_o into_o a_o state_n of_o adoption_n one_o day_n and_o after_o cast_v we_o out_o this_o be_v a_o point_n of_o great_a pretty_a but_o from_o wrest_v of_o this_o come_v the_o other_o point_n that_o because_o they_o can_v fall_v total_o that_o therefore_o they_o can_v fall_v at_o all_o that_o because_o a_o man_n can_v sin_v final_o that_o justification_n make_v he_o total_o gracious_a that_o he_o can_v sin_v for_o though_o god_n keep_v they_o from_o final_a sin_v yet_o the_o best_a saint_n fall_v in_o many_o thing_n we_o sin_v all_o and_o he_o that_o say_v he_o be_v not_o a_o sinner_n be_v a_o liar_n even_o of_o those_o that_o be_v convert_v we_o tread_v awry_o every_o day_n and_o there_o be_v many_o slip_n and_o sometime_o foul_a gross_a fall_n but_o it_o please_v god_n to_o raise_v we_o again_o but_o it_o be_v by_o repentance_n and_o faith_n in_o christ_n the_o same_o way_n that_o we_o rise_v at_o the_o first_o so_o for_o the_o three_o point_n that_o man_n need_v not_o beg_v pardon_n it_o be_v from_o a_o corrupt_a original_n it_o be_v a_o good_a heavenly_a point_n that_o there_o be_v a_o certainty_n of_o salvation_n grant_v to_o many_o saint_n that_o certainty_n may_v be_v have_v though_o it_o be_v not_o have_v by_o all_o every_o one_o come_v not_o to_o the_o same_o degree_n of_o assurance_n from_o the_o mistake_n of_o this_o come_v the_o three_o because_o we_o may_v be_v assure_v that_o we_o be_v in_o a_o state_n of_o salvation_n and_o grace_n and_o that_o sin_n be_v pardon_v we_o need_v not_o beg_v pardon_n so_o they_o run_v to_o popery_n another_o way_n popery_n be_v a_o thing_n that_o they_o disclaim_v and_o while_o they_o will_v run_v from_o popery_n they_o fall_v into_o another_o extreme_a and_o run_v to_o popery_n another_o way_n compare_v they_o a_o little_a a_o saint_n may_v come_v to_o perfection_n and_o keep_v all_o the_o moral_a law_n say_v the_o papist_n asleep_o christian_n may_v come_v to_o that_o perfection_n that_o he_o need_v not_o keep_v it_o say_v they_o some_o sin_n be_v of_o so_o easy_a a_o

if_o we_o have_v assurance_n so_o they_o because_o the_o child_n of_o god_n have_v assurance_n he_o need_v not_o beg_v pardon_n thus_o they_o run_v by_o eschew_v the_o contrary_a into_o the_o same_o
