charitable_o and_o lay_v the_o supposition_n quite_o on_o the_o other_o side_n if_o there_o be_v but_o one_o sinner_n in_o the_o world_n or_o but_o one_o of_o a_o hundred_o yet_o we_o shall_v very_o

parable_n they_o have_v run_v away_o from_o their_o father_n and_o waste_v their_o estate_n in_o lewd_a and_o riotous_a course_n yet_o whenever_o they_o come_v to_o themselves_o and_o be_v willing_a to_o return_v to_o their_o father_n to_o acknowledge_v their_o folly_n and_o repent_v of_o it_o he_o be_v ready_a to_o receive_v they_o nay_o much_o more_o ready_a to_o receive_v they_o than_o they_o can_v be_v to_o come_v to_o he_o for_o when_o the_o prodigal_n be_v but_o come_v towards_o his_o father_n and_o be_v yet_o afar_o off_o the_o father_n run_v to_o meet_v he_o and_o embrace_v he_o with_o as_o much_o kindness_n as_o if_o he_o have_v never_o offend_v he_o and_o entertain_v he_o with_o more_o joy_n than_o if_o he_o have_v always_o continue_v with_o he_o how_o do_v the_o great_a god_n condescend_v to_o encourage_v our_o repentance_n represent_v himself_o and_o all_o the_o bless_a company_n of_o heaven_n as_o transport_v with_o joy_n at_o the_o conversion_n of_o a_o sinner_n and_o almost_o set_v a_o great_a value_n upon_o repentance_n than_o even_o upon_o innocence_n itself_o and_o if_o our_o heavenly_a father_n who_o have_v be_v so_o infinite_o offend_v and_o so_o high_o provoke_v by_o we_o beyond_o all_o patience_n be_v so_o ready_a so_o forward_o so_o glad_a to_o receive_v we_o and_o there_o be_v no_o hindrance_n no_o difficulty_n no_o discouragement_n on_o his_o part_n be_v it_o possible_a after_o all_o this_o that_o we_o can_v be_v such_o fool_n and_o such_o enemy_n to_o ourselves_o as_o to_o be_v backward_o to_o our_o own_o happiness_n all_o of_o we_o the_o best_a of_o we_o have_v too_o much_o cause_n for_o repentance_n and_o i_o fear_v too_o many_o of_o we_o stand_v in_o need_n of_o that_o repentance_n intend_v by_o our_o saviour_n in_o the_o text_n which_o consist_v in_o the_o change_n of_o our_o whole_a life_n but_o i_o will_v not_o upbraid_v you_o with_o your_o fault_n have_v no_o design_n to_o provoke_v but_o only_o to_o persuade_v man_n i_o leave_v it_o to_o every_o one_o conscience_n to_o tell_v he_o how_o great_a a_o sinner_n how_o grievous_a a_o offender_n he_o have_v be_v god_n know_v we_o take_v no_o pleasure_n in_o mention_v the_o sin_n of_o man_n but_o only_o in_o their_o amendment_n and_o we_o will_v if_o it_o be_v possible_a even_o without_o mind_v they_o how_o bad_a they_o have_v be_v persuade_v and_o encourage_v they_o to_o be_v better_o it_o be_v but_o a_o small_a consideration_n to_o tell_v you_o how_o much_o it_o will_v cheer_v and_o comfort_v our_o heart_n and_o quicken_v our_o zeal_n and_o industry_n for_o the_o salvation_n of_o soul_n to_o see_v some_o fruit_n of_o our_o labour_n that_o all_o our_o pain_n be_v not_o lose_v and_o that_o all_o the_o good_a counsel_n that_o be_v from_o hence_o tender_v to_o you_o be_v not_o like_a rain_n fall_v upon_o the_o rock_n and_o shower_n upon_o the_o sand_n but_o i_o have_v much_o great_a consideration_n to_o offer_v to_o you_o that_o your_o repentance_n will_v at_o once_o rejoice_v the_o heart_n of_o god_n and_o angel_n and_o man_n that_o it_o be_v a_o return_v to_o a_o right_a mind_n and_o the_o restore_n of_o you_o to_o yourselves_o to_o the_o

not_o repent_v now_o the_o time_n will_v certain_o come_v and_o that_o perhaps_o in_o this_o life_n when_o you_o shall_v see_v the_o great_a need_n of_o repentance_n and_o yet_o perhaps_o with_o miserable_a esau_n find_v no_o place_n for_o it_o though_o you_o seek_v it_o careful_o with_o tear_n when_o you_o shall_v cry_v lord_n lord_n and_o the_o door_n shall_v be_v shut_v against_o you_o
