of_o the_o thing_n a_o thing_n can_v be_v remit_v before_o it_o be_v commit_v nor_o cover_v before_o it_o have_v a_o existence_n nor_o blot_v out_o before_o it_o be_v write_v therefore_o justification_n from_o such_o or_o such_o a_o fault_n must_v have_v relation_n to_o that_o which_o be_v past_a but_o for_o justification_n for_o the_o time_n to_o come_v i_o will_v speak_v anon_o there_o i_o leave_v the_o last_o time_n i_o have_v now_o faith_n and_o i_o believe_v in_o christ_n i_o have_v now_o relation_n to_o he_o and_o remission_n of_o sin_n past_a but_o why_o then_o do_v i_o pray_v for_o it_o to_o what_o end_n be_v that_o bellarmine_n object_n that_o it_o be_v a_o act_n of_o infidelity_n to_o pray_v for_o it_o afterward_o but_o we_o do_v it_o and_o we_o ought_v to_o do_v it_o see_v psal._n 51._o david_n make_v that_o psalm_n after_o the_o prophet_n nathan_n have_v tell_v he_o his_o sin_n be_v pardon_v see_v the_o title_n of_o it_o and_o we_o must_v know_v that_o the_o title_n be_v a_o part_n of_o god_n word_n as_o well_o as_o the_o rest_n a_o psalm_n of_o david_n when_o nathan_n come_v unto_o he_o after_o he_o have_v go_v in_o unto_o bathsheba_n nathan_n tell_v he_o that_o god_n have_v take_v away_o his_o sin_n yet_o he_o cry_v here_o throughout_o the_o whole_a psalm_n to_o have_v his_o sin_n pardon_v and_o blot_v out_o so_o that_o though_o there_o be_v faith_n and_o assurance_n yet_o he_o still_o pray_v for_o it_o now_o bellarmine_n say_v this_o can_v be_v but_o do_v he_o dispute_v against_o our_o opinion_n no_o he_o dispute_v against_o the_o holy_a ghost_n for_o david_n have_v receive_v a_o message_n of_o forgiveness_n yet_o pray_v therefore_o if_o the_o jesuit_n have_v grace_n he_o will_v join_v with_o we_o to_o salve_v the_o matter_n rather_o than_o through_o our_o side_n to_o strike_v at_o god_n but_o it_o be_v a_o fallacy_n to_o join_v these_o two_o together_o for_o a_o man_n to_o pray_v for_o a_o thing_n past_a it_o be_v a_o act_n of_o infidelity_n as_o to_o pray_v that_o god_n will_v create_v the_o world_n and_o incarnate_a his_o son_n i_o answer_v there_o be_v difference_n between_o a_o act_n do_v and_o a_o act_n continue_v when_o the_o world_n be_v make_v by_o god_n god_n have_v finish_v that_o work_n and_o when_o christ_n take_v our_o flesh_n upon_o he_o the_o act_n be_v do_v but_o the_o forgiveness_n of_o sin_n be_v a_o continue_a act_n which_o hold_v to_o day_n and_o to_o morrow_n and_o world_n without_o end_n god_n be_v please_v not_o to_o impute_v thy_o sin_n but_o cover_v they_o now_o this_o cover_n be_v no_o constant_a act_n i_o may_v cover_v a_o thing_n now_o and_o uncover_v it_o again_o now_o forgiveness_n of_o sin_n be_v a_o act_n not_o complete_a but_o continue_v and_o continue_a world_n without_o end_n and_o therefore_o we_o say_v the_o saint_n in_o heaven_n be_v justify_v by_o imputative_a righteousness_n god_n continuance_n of_o his_o act_n of_o mercy_n the_o point_n than_o be_v this_o as_o long_o as_o we_o continue_v in_o the_o world_n and_o by_o contrary_a act_n of_o disobedience_n continue_v to_o provoke_v god_n to_o discontinue_v his_o former_a act_n of_o mercy_n and_o our_o sin_n be_v but_o cover_v therefore_o so_o long_o must_v we_o pray_v for_o forgiveness_n when_o the_o servant_n have_v humble_v himself_o before_o his_o lord_n it_o be_v say_v the_o lord_n of_o that_o servant_n loose_v he_o and_o forgive_v he_o the_o debt_n but_o though_o he_o forgive_v he_o yet_o he_o do_v another_o act_n that_o cause_v his_o lord_n to_o discontinue_v his_o pardon_n matth._n 18.33_o shall_v not_o thou_o also_o have_v have_v compassion_n on_o thy_o fellow-servant_n as_o i_o have_v pity_n on_o thou_o he_o have_v pity_n on_o he_o yet_o since_o he_o do_v another_o act_n which_o turn_v his_o lord_n heart_n against_o he_o therefore_o he_o be_v now_o cast_v into_o prison_n and_o he_o must_v not_o come_v out_o thence_o till_o he_o have_v pay_v the_o utmost_a farthing_n he_o have_v forgive_v he_o to_o day_n and_o to_o morrow_n and_o will_v have_v continue_v his_o forgiveness_n if_o he_o have_v not_o thus_o provoke_v he_o we_o must_v pray_v to_o god_n to_o continue_v his_o act_n of_o mercy_n because_o we_o continual_o provoke_v he_o by_o new_a act_n of_o rebellion_n add_v to_o this_o the_o king_n grant_v a_o pardon_n to_o a_o man_n in_o all_o patent_n of_o pardon_n there_o be_v a_o clause_n that_o the_o man_n must_v renew_v his_o patent_n if_o forgiveness_n may_v be_v renew_v than_o those_o thing_n be_v to_o be_v renew_v again_o by_o which_o the_o renovation_n of_o my_o remission_n may_v be_v wrought_v god_n will_v have_v i_o renew_v my_o act_n of_o faith_n and_o if_o of_o faith_n why_o not_o of_o repentance_n and_o of_o prayer_n there_o be_v a_o singular_a place_n in_o ezek._n 36.29_o 35_o 37._o that_o make_v it_o plain_a that_o though_o god_n intend_v to_o do_v the_o thing_n yet_o he_o appoint_v this_o to_o be_v the_o mean_n thus_o say_v the_o lord_n god_n i_o will_v yet_o for_o this_o be_v inquire_v of_o by_o the_o house_n of_o israel_n to_o do_v it_o for_o they_o i._n e._n though_o i_o have_v do_v it_o and_o intend_v to_o do_v it_o yet_o will_v i_o do_v it_o by_o the_o mean_n of_o prayer_n howsoever_o that_o god_n have_v promise_v eliah_n that_o rain_n shall_v come_v upon_o the_o face_n of_o the_o earth_n yet_o he_o go_v upon_o the_o mount_n and_o see_v no_o show_n of_o a_o cloud_n the_o text_n say_v not_o what_o he_o do_v but_o he_o put_v his_o head_n between_o his_o knee_n saint_n james_n say_v he_o pray_v and_o he_o open_v heaven_n and_o bring_v down_o rain_n it_o be_v a_o humble_a secret_a gesture_n a_o man_n may_v be_v more_o free_a in_o private_a than_o in_o public_a he_o pray_v and_o the_o heaven_n open_v god_n have_v promise_v it_o and_o will_v do_v it_o but_o yet_o he_o will_v be_v seek_v too_o so_o we_o see_v the_o mediate_a cause_n be_v prayer_n so_o though_o the_o lord_n will_v do_v this_o yet_o for_o all_o this_o he_o will_v be_v inquire_v of_o it_o be_v not_o with_o god_n as_o with_o man_n man_n who_o have_v promise_v will_v be_v loath_a to_o be_v sue_v to_o not_o to_o break_v their_o
