of_o god_n and_o therefore_o to_o say_v boast_v be_v exclude_v by_o faith_n because_o faith_n be_v the_o gift_n of_o god_n will_v not_o serve_v the_o turn_n therefore_o the_o mystery_n of_o

from_o the_o grace_n and_o gift_n of_o god_n yet_o they_o belong_v to_o man_n nature_n for_o if_o god_n will_v make_v a_o rational_a creature_n he_o must_v give_v it_o those_o perfection_n that_o be_v due_a to_o that_o nature_n now_o the_o image_n of_o god_n be_v in_o some_o regard_n due_a to_o such_o a_o nature_n but_o now_o god_n when_o he_o come_v to_o give_v faith_n he_o give_v a_o high_a

mystery_n that_o god_n shall_v justify_v a_o man_n by_o faith_n and_o yet_o this_o exclude_v boast_v more_o than_o any_o other_o thing_n ay_o but_o the_o scripture_n say_v god_n impute_v faith_n for_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

they_o be_v never_o acquaint_v with_o such_o thing_n and_o therefore_o though_o they_o go_v on_o in_o sin_n after_o which_o they_o have_v be_v accustom_v it_o be_v not_o so_o much_o to_o be_v wonder_v

ever_o pardon_v go_v along_o with_o it_o but_o the_o scripture_n speak_v of_o a_o repentance_n that_o may_v be_v without_o pardon_n therefore_o when_o thou_o say_v thou_o repente_v you_o must_v not_o

the_o trouble_v that_o sin_n have_v bring_v upon_o they_o to_o sorrow_n because_o of_o the_o trouble_n that_o our_o sin_n bring_v on_o we_o be_v mere_o natural_a and_o flow_v from_o nature_n itself_o

the_o ordinary_a way_n to_o put_v man_n off_o from_o this_o plea_n be_v to_o tell_v they_o how_o do_v you_o know_v you_o shall_v live_v or_o that_o your_o heart_n shall_v not_o be_v harden_v but_o

build_v their_o believe_v of_o the_o pardon_n of_o their_o sin_n mere_o on_o their_o sorrow_n and_o such_o kind_n of_o sorrow_n they_o be_v like_o a_o man_n that_o will_v erect_v a_o great_a

question_v again_o it_o be_v a_o dangerous_a thing_n to_o lay_v the_o hope_n of_o pardon_n of_o sin_n upon_o our_o own_o sorrow_n where_o or_o how_o then_o shall_v we_o lay_v our_o hope_n why_o upon_o the_o sorrow_n of_o jesus_n christ_n there_o you_o shall_v find_v the_o sure_a ground_n there_o may_v be_v some_o mistake_n there_o too_o but_o for_o the_o present_a i_o shall_v not_o stay_v on_o that_o we_o must_v look_v ten_o thousand_o time_n more_o at_o the_o sorrow_n of_o christ_n than_o at_o our_o own_o sorrow_n and_o therefore_o when_o your_o heart_n be_v trouble_v and_o you_o look_v for_o mercy_n depend_v more_o ten_o thousand_o time_n on_o the_o sorrow_n of_o christ_n than_o on_o all_o your_o own_o sorrow_n for_o your_o sorrow_n for_o sin_n can_v satisfy_v god_n justice_n and_o that_o that_o must_v be_v a_o ground_n of_o hope_n for_o the_o pardon_n of_o my_o sin_n must_v be_v something_o that_o must_v satisfy_v the_o justice_n of_o god_n for_o though_o there_o be_v never_o

i_o be_o not_o therefore_o pardon_v because_o i_o mourn_v but_o because_o i_o be_o pardon_v therefore_o i_o come_v to_o mourn_v so_o stand_v the_o truth_n in_o divinity_n in_o point_n of_o

to_o work_v sorrow_n and_o repentance_n many_o think_v justification_n flow_v from_o sorrow_n but_o thou_o must_v come_v to_o sorrow_n and_o repentance_n another_o way_n know_v that_o all_o true_a

pardon_v sin_n yet_o it_o do_v not_o work_v thus_o viz._n you_o have_v sin_v and_o my_o law_n require_v such_o and_o such_o obedience_n to_o be_v perform_v on_o such_o term_n or_o else_o you_o must_v

upon_o he_o further_o consider_v the_o work_n of_o god_n mercy_n in_o justification_n of_o a_o sinner_n when_o faith_n lay_v hold_v upon_o it_o faith_n must_v not_o lay_v hold_n upon_o it_o as_o a_o

for_o all_o the_o world_n have_v be_v in_o treason_n against_o he_o how_o be_v it_o that_o god_n pardon_v few_o and_o destroy_v most_o i_o hope_v to_o give_v you_o very_o good_a reason_n and_o satisfaction_n in_o show_v you_o how_o the_o infinite_a glory_n of_o the_o mercy_n of_o god_n appear_v and_o yet_o but_o few_o be_v pardon_v yea_o rather_o the_o more_o because_o that_o few_o be_v pardon_v god_n will_v thereby_o manifest_v the_o more_o his_o glorious_a mercy_n 1._o it_o may_v well_o stand_v with_o the_o glorious_a riches_n of_o the_o mercy_n of_o god_n that_o many_o be_v destroy_v and_o yet_o but_o few_o pardon_v thus_o because_o that_o god_n will_v have_v a_o proportion_n between_o his_o justice_n and_o mercy_n you_o say_v he_o will_v have_v a_o proportion_n be_v not_o be_v as_o merciful_a as_o he_o be_v just_a then_o there_o must_v be_v as_o many_o pardon_v as_o condemn_v no_o if_o god_n will_v observe_v a_o proportion_n between_o his_o mercy_n and_o justice_n and_o that_o he_o will_v have_v his_o justice_n appear_v as_o well_o as_o his_o mercy_n then_o more_o must_v be_v damn_v than_o save_v how_o do_v that_o appear_v thus_o because_o the_o glory_n of_o god_n justice_n in_o damn_v twenty_o hundred_o be_v not_o so_o much_o as_o the_o glory_n of_o his_o mercy_n in_o save_v two_o you_o may_v conceive_v it_o by_o what_o be_v ordinary_o use_v among_o man_n if_o the_o king_n save_v but_o two_o man_n that_o be_v malefactor_n he_o magnify_v his_o mercy_n as_o much_o in_o that_o as_o his_o justice_n if_o he_o hang_v up_o a_o hundred_o so_o if_o god_n save_v but_o two_o his_o mercy_n be_v as_o much_o magnify_v as_o his_o justice_n in_o damn_v twenty_o hundred_o the_o reason_n be_v this_o because_o there_o be_v something_o in_o the_o creature_n that_o call_v for_o god_n justice_n that_o require_v that_o but_o there_o be_v nothing_o in_o the_o creature_n that_o require_v his_o mercy_n when_o god_n manifest_v his_o justice_n he_o do_v such_o a_o work_n as_o be_v due_a to_o the_o creature_n there_o be_v something_o in_o the_o creature_n that_o challenge_v such_o a_o work_n from_o god_n but_o when_o god_n come_v to_o manifest_a mercy_n there_o be_v nothing_o at_o all_o in_o we_o that_o shall_v require_v such_o a_o work_n from_o god_n no_o his_o mercy_n be_v
