if_o his_o repentance_n end_n where_o it_o begin_v it_o be_v a_o sign_n his_o will_n be_v not_o yet_o heal_v when_o good_a resolution_n vanish_v like_o the_o morning-dew_n and_o be_v never_o put_v

the_o rich_a of_o god_n saint_n always_o suspect_v their_o own_o poverty_n and_o think_v that_o which_o they_o have_v nothing_o in_o respect_n of_o that_o which_o they_o have_v not_o and_o of_o that_o which_o they_o desire_v to_o have_v david_n be_v heal_v the_o lord_n have_v forgive_v he_o all_o his_o sin_n and_o yet_o for_o all_o that_o he_o desire_v still_o to_o be_v heal_v let_v we_o then_o learn_v by_o david_n example_n to_o be_v thus_o careful_a and_o solicitous_a to_o have_v our_o soul_n heal_v pharaoh_n desire_v to_o be_v deliver_v from_o the_o plague_n of_o egypt_n but_o not_o from_o his_o hardness_n of_o heart_n let_v we_o rather_o desire_v the_o last_o for_o the_o wound_n of_o sin_n be_v the_o worst_a wound_n the_o scripture_n have_v in_o many_o place_n very_o artificial_o paint_v out_o the_o nature_n of_o sin_n but_o it_o always_o borrow_v colour_n from_o noxious_a and_o hurtful_a creature_n it_o compare_v it_o to_o the_o basilisk_n to_o the_o viper_n to_o the_o asp_z who_o poisonous_a quality_n be_v destructive_a to_o the_o life_n of_o man_n and_o it_o have_v also_o in_o many_o place_n allegorical_o express_v the_o nature_n of_o sin_n by_o many_o deadly_a disease_n by_o the_o leprosy_n by_o the_o palsy_n by_o the_o bloudyflux_n and_o sometime_o by_o death_n itself_o in_o the_o abstract_n by_o these_o and_o many_o other_o expression_n in_o the_o scripture_n you_o may_v learn_v the_o nature_n of_o sin_n and_o see_v how_o dangerous_a her_o wound_n be_v if_o they_o be_v not_o heal_v let_v we_o then_o do_v as_o david_n do_v let_v we_o seek_v unto_o the_o lord_n who_o be_v the_o physician_n of_o our_o soul_n he_o only_o be_v able_a by_o his_o grace_n to_o heal_v the_o stain_n and_o by_o his_o mercy_n the_o guilt_n of_o our_o sin_n the_o time_n will_v not_o permit_v i_o to_o enter_v into_o the_o last_o part_n of_o my_o text_n i_o will_v therefore_o conclude_v all_o with_o that_o of_o the_o prophet_n jeremiah_n heal_n we_o o_o

that_o be_v sin_n for_o i_o have_v sin_v against_o thou_o i_o have_v already_o speak_v of_o the_o two_o first_o part_n where_o i_o show_v you_o the_o wound_n of_o his_o soul_n and_o the_o manner_n how_o they_o be_v to_o be_v
to_o equal_v those_o worthy_a example_n of_o repentance_n for_o i_o think_v it_o not_o only_o lawful_a but_o commendable_a for_o every_o one_o to_o desire_v the_o best_a gift_n we_o may_v desire_v to_o equal_v and_o if_o we_o can_v to_o excel_v david_n mary_n magdalen_n or_o any_o other_o provide_v always_o that_o we_o submit_v our_o will_n to_o the_o will_n of_o god_n and_o when_o we_o see_v that_o it_o be_v not_o his_o pleasure_n to_o confer_v upon_o we_o such_o gift_n as_o he_o confer_v upon_o they_o we_o must_v not_o therefore_o murmur_v against_o he_o nor_o work_v our_o own_o disquiet_n and_o trouble_v by_o make_v such_o unprofitable_a comparison_n but_o give_v thanks_o to_o god_n for_o what_o we_o have_v let_v we_o comfort_v ourselves_o with_o that_o consider_v always_o that_o all_o sorrow_n whether_o it_o be_v in_o a_o great_a or_o small_a quantity_n if_o it_o proceed_v from_o grace_n be_v able_a to_o save_v our_o soul_n and_o this_o be_v the_o second_o condition_n necessary_a to_o a_o true_a confession_n that_o be_v sorrow_n and_o true_a contrition_n of_o heart_n the_o three_o condition_n necessary_a to_o a_o true_a confession_n be_v amendment_n of_o life_n although_o a_o man_n confess_v his_o sin_n every_o day_n yet_o if_o he_o forsake_v they_o not_o his_o confession_n be_v but_o a_o mere_a formality_n and_o this_o condition_n be_v require_v in_o many_o place_n of_o the_o scripture_n but_o i_o will_v only_o name_v a_o place_n or_o two_o in_o the_o 28_o chapter_n of_o the_o proverb_n and_o the_o 13_o verse_n it_o be_v say_v he_o that_o cover_v his_o sin_n shall_v not_o prosper_v but_o whoso_o confess_v and_o forsake_v they_o shall_v have_v mercy_n not_o every_o hypocrite_n that_o make_v a_o formal_a confession_n but_o he_o that_o confess_v and_o forsake_v his_o sin_n shall_v have_v mercy_n and_o again_o ezra_n 10.11_o ezra_n say_v unto_o the_o people_n now_o therefore_o make_v confession_n unto_o the_o lord_n god_n of_o your_o father_n and_o do_v his_o pleasure_n and_o separate_v yourselves_o from_o the_o people_n of_o the_o land_n and_o from_o the_o strange_a wife_n he_o do_v not_o only_o stir_v up_o the_o people_n to_o confess_v their_o sin_n to_o god_n but_o to_o do_v his_o pleasure_n also_o and_o to_o separate_v themselves_o from_o the_o people_n of_o the_o land_n with_o who_o they_o have_v contract_v affinity_n and_o to_o put_v away_o their_o strange_a wife_n without_o which_o their_o confession_n have_v be_v but_o vain_a it_o be_v i_o know_v a_o common_a opinion_n at_o this_o time_n that_o a_o actual_a amendment_n of_o life_n be_v not_o necessary_a and_o essential_a to_o confession_n but_o that_o a_o purpose_n of_o amendment_n with_o faith_n in_o christ_n jesus_n be_v sufficient_a and_o although_o they_o commit_v the_o same_o sin_n every_o day_n yet_o if_o they_o resolve_v to_o amend_v after_o they_o have_v commit_v they_o many_o think_v themselves_o if_o they_o shall_v die_v after_o such_o resolution_n in_o a_o good_a and_o safe_a condition_n but_o this_o belove_v be_v a_o gross_a and_o manifest_a delusion_n and_o contrary_a to_o those_o place_n of_o scripture_n that_o have_v be_v already_o allege_v and_o to_o many_o other_o which_o may_v be_v allege_v to_o this_o purpose_n it_o be_v true_a indeed_o that_o faith_n in_o christ_n jesus_n if_o it_o can_v be_v in_o any_o man_n without_o a_o actual_a amendment_n be_v able_a to_o save_v he_o but_o herein_o they_o deceive_v themselves_o in_o that_o they_o think_v true_a faith_n consistent_a with_o bare_a and_o naked_a resolution_n and_o not_o always_o accompany_v with_o a_o actual_a amendment_n for_o true_a faith_n will_v show_v itself_o in_o action_n and_o can_v be_v perfect_v and_o know_v by_o bare_a and_o naked_a resolution_n whatsoever_o be_v bear_v of_o god_n say_v saint_n john_n overcome_v the_o world_n and_o this_o be_v the_o victory_n that_o overcome_v the_o world_n even_o our_o faith_n 1_o john_n 5.4_o by_o true_a

world_n no_o they_o be_v overcome_v themselves_o and_o have_v not_o overcome_v the_o world_n take_v heed_n therefore_o you_o deceive_v not_o yourselves_o think_v not_o you_o have_v faith_n before_o you_o find_v the_o fruit_n of_o faith_n in_o your_o life_n and_o conversation_n i_o presume_v there_o be_v none_o here_o but_o will_v say_v they_o have_v faith_n but_o i_o pray_v god_n many_o among_o you_o be_v not_o delude_v shall_v i_o demand_v of_o you_o whether_o you_o believe_v in_o god_n or_o whether_o you_o believe_v a_o heaven_n and_o a_o hell_n and_o a_o resurrection_n from_o the_o dead_a i_o dare_v say_v you_o will_v all_o answer_n yes_o but_o then_o if_o i_o can_v look_v into_o your_o life_n and_o see_v your_o secret_a practice_n i_o be_o afraid_a i_o shall_v find_v many_o of_o you_o to_o be_v such_o as_o if_o yet_o believe_v no_o such_o matter_n i_o say_v if_o i_o can_v look_v into_o your_o life_n i_o be_o afraid_a i_o shall_v find_v many_o of_o you_o to_o be_v such_o as_o if_o you_o believe_v neither_o heaven_n not_o hell_n nor_o the_o resurrection_n of_o the_o dead_a nor_o any_o other_o article_n of_o faith_n for_o wherein_o do_v many_o among_o we_o exceed_v a_o infidel_n that_o believe_v none_o of_o these_o thing_n be_v it_o possible_a that_o infidelity_n shall_v produce_v as_o good_a effect_n in_o they_o as_o faith_n in_o you_o be_v faith_n so_o sluggish_a a_o

the_o hebrew_n there_o be_v many_o commend_v for_o faith_n but_o they_o be_v all_o say_v to_o have_v do_v something_o by_o it_o it_o be_v say_v by_o faith_n abel_n offer_v a_o better_a sacrifice_n than_o cain_n and_o so_o of_o all_o the_o rest_n it_o be_v say_v they_o do_v something_o by_o faith_n but_o there_o be_v none_o which_o be_v say_v to_o have_v make_v good_a resolution_n by_o faith_n and_o to_o have_v keep_v none_o of_o they_o true_a faith_n therefore_o must_v be_v know_v and_o perfect_v by_o action_n and_o not_o by_o bare_a and_o naked_a resolution_n and_o this_o be_v the_o three_o condition_n necessary_a to_o a_o true_a confession_n that_o be_v amendment_n of_o life_n the_o four_o condition_n necessary_a to_o a_o true_a confession_n be_v satisfaction_n i_o shall_v not_o

wrong_v another_o and_o do_v not_o repair_v the_o injury_n can_v be_v say_v to_o amend_v but_o sin_v against_o justice_n for_o justice_n give_v to_o every_o one_o his_o due_a which_o he_o refuse_v to_o do_v that_o will_v not_o restore_v his_o neighbour_n good_n or_o his_o neighbour_n credit_n when_o he_o have_v wrongful_o deprive_v he_o of_o they_o now_o therefore_o let_v every_o one_o examine_v his_o confession_n and_o see_v whether_o it_o have_v all_o these_o condition_n or_o no_o first_o whether_o he_o have_v make_v a_o diligent_a examination_n of_o his_o whole_a life_n and_o confess_v all_o his_o particular_a and_o individual_a sin_n as_o far_o as_o he_o be_v able_a second_o whether_o his_o confession_n be_v join_v with_o true_a sorrow_n and_o contrition_n of_o heart_n three_o whether_o he_o have_v for_o saken_a the_o sin_n which_o he_o have_v confess_v four_o whether_o he_o have_v make_v satisfaction_n as_o far_o as_o he_o be_v able_a for_o all_o the_o wrong_n and_o injury_n he_o have_v do_v if_o his_o confession_n have_v all_o these_o condition_n it_o be_v good_a but_o if_o it_o want_v any_o of_o they_o he_o have_v but_o play_v the_o formal_a hypocrite_n
