2._o turn_v unto_o the_o lord_n your_o god_n the_o practice_n forbid_v be_v that_o they_o shall_v not_o rend_v their_o garment_n the_o whole_a text_n be_v but_o a_o figurative_a expression_n for_o

their_o family_n or_o themselves_o in_o particular_a to_o rend_v their_o garment_n so_o upon_o the_o sight_n of_o joseph_n coat_n the_o patriarch_n jacob_n rend_v his_o clothes_n gen._n 37.34_o

while_o there_o be_v any_o thing_n in_o it_o now_o it_o be_v grow_v to_o be_v a_o ceremony_n only_o will_v have_v none_o of_o it_o but_o express_o forbid_v it_o say_v rend_v your_o heart_n and_o n●t_v your_o garment_n as_o if_o the_o lord_n shall_v say_v come_v do_v you_o think_v to_o cheat_v i_o with_o your_o pitiful_a feign_a and_o formal_a repentance_n of_o rent_v your_o garment_n and_o tear_v your_o clothes_n while_o you_o keep_v your_o sin_n whole_a but_o instead_o of_o all_o this_o ado_n of_o rent_v your_o garment_n rend_v your_o heart_n it_o be_v not_o your_o clothes_n it_o be_v your_o

it_o you_o think_v that_o the_o tear_v your_o coat_n shall_v explate_v your_o sin_n or_o make_v a_o amends_o for_o your_o break_v my_o command_n and_o the_o defile_v your_o own_o conscience_n wherefore_o the_o text_n afford_v we_o this_o proposition_n that_o true_a repentance_n and_o such_o as_o be_v acceptable_a to_o god_n consist_v not_o in_o any_o formal_a exterior_a observation_n but_o in_o the_o rent_v off_o of_o sin_n from_o the_o heart_n the_o term_n of_o this_o proposition_n be_v so_o plain_a that_o they_o need_v no_o explanation_n for_o the_o know_v and_o common_a acceptation_n of_o repentance_n be_v the_o best_a that_o it_o be_v a_o aversion_n from_o sin_n and_o a_o conversion_n to_o god_n and_o by_o formal_a and_o exterior_a observation_n be_v mean_v such_o religious_a performance_n as_o custom_n and_o tradition_n not_o divine_a injunction_n have_v deliver_v to_o and_o impose_v upon_o we_o and_o therefore_o i_o proceed_v to_o the_o proof_n of_o the_o proposition_n which_o be_v twofold_a 1._o negative_a that_o true_a repentance_n and_o such_o as_o be_v acceptable_a to_o god_n consist_v not_o in_o any_o formal_a outward_a observation_n 2._o positive_a that_o it_o do_v consist_v in_o rent_v off_o sin_n from_o the_o heart_n but_o i_o doubt_v i_o shall_v not_o be_v able_a in_o this_o present_a opportunity_n to_o reach_v unto_o this_o second_o head_n of_o our_o proposition_n wherefore_o to_o the_o first_o or_o negative_a part_n thereof_o 1._o that_o true_a repentance_n and_o such_o as_o be_v acceptable_a unto_o god_n consist_v not_o in_o any_o formal_a exterior_a observation_n for_o the_o proof_n of_o this_o part_n of_o the_o proposition_n take_v you_o the_o pharisee_n who_o certain_o be_v the_o great_a stickler_n for_o and_o promoter_n of_o such_o observation_n of_o any_o generation_n of_o man_n that_o ever_o you_o read_v of_o either_o in_o sacred_a writ_n or_o in_o profane_a for_o they_o be_v so_o eat_v

they_o be_v certain_o right_a and_o well_o set_v for_o god_n but_o if_o to_o formality_n ceremony_n and_o exterior_a observation_n they_o be_v most_o assure_o wrong_v how_o right_a soever_o you_o may_v think_v they_o to_o be_v second_o examine_v and_o see_v how_o your_o will_n be_v incline_v and_o this_o both_o to_o yourselves_o and_o towards_o other_o first_o to_o yourselves_o you_o see_v the_o will_n of_o god_n both_o negative_o and_o affirmative_o both_o in_o what_o you_o shall_v and_o what_o you_o shall_v not_o do_v herein_o that_o you_o shall_v rend_v your_o heart_n and_o that_o you_o shall_v not_o rend_v your_o garment_n examine_v then_o whether_o your_o will_n be_v not_o cross_a and_o averse_a to_o this_o will_n of_o god_n that_o though_o god_n have_v bid_v you_o rend_v your_o heart_n and_o not_o your_o garment_n yet_o you_o will_v rend_v your_o garment_n and_o not_o your_o heart_n you_o will_v be_v for_o formal_a and_o exterior_a observation_n rather_o than_o for_o that_o unfeigned_a repentance_n that_o be_v acceptable_a unto_o god_n it_o be_v say_v psal_n 40.8_o i_o delight_v to_o do_v thy_o will_n o_o god_n examine_v then_o whether_o your_o will_n take_v up_o a_o delight_n to_o be_v conformable_a to_o the_o will_n of_o god_n you_o pray_v every_o day_n thy_o will_v be_v do_v on_o earth_n as_o it_o be_v in_o heaven_n search_v therefore_o your_o own_o soul_n and_o see_v whether_o your_o will_n and_o heart_n be_v in_o that_o petition_n or_o whether_o you_o say_v it_o only_o by_o rote_n and_o custom_n if_o your_o will_v be_v well_o incline_v to_o it_o than_o you_o will_v conform_v to_o the_o will_n of_o god_n here_o in_o the_o text_n and_o not_o set_v up_o your_o post_n against_o god_n post_n nor_o your_o will_n against_o god_n will_n as_o you_o certain_o do_v if_o you_o be_v for_o rent_v the_o garment_n before_o rent_v the_o heart_n and_o for_o formal_a observance_n before_o true_a and_o spiritual_a worship_n many_o a_o time_n in_o the_o gospel_n you_o find_v our_o lord_n answer_v supplicant_n thus_o be_v it_o unto_o thou_o according_a as_o thou_o will_v o_o examine_v then_o your_o will_n how_o they_o stand_v incline_v for_o if_o they_o be_v not_o bend_v to_o god_n it_o be_v mercy_n to_o you_o if_o you_o miss_v your_o own_o will_n so_o saul_n find_v it_o before_o his_o conversion_n he_o will_v needs_o be_v go_v to_o damascus_n while_o he_o be_v breathe_v out_o blood_n and_o cruelty_n to_o persecute_v the_o poor_a christian_n there_o also_o but_o almighty_a mercy_n prevent_v and_o make_v he_o miss_v his_o will_n in_o act_n 9_o among_o the_o many_o offering_n which_o be_v in_o the_o time_n of_o the_o law_n there_o be_v one_o which_o be_v call_v a_o free_a will-offering_a to_o which_o the_o psalmist_n allude_v psal_n 119.108_o accept_v i_o beseech_v thou_o say_v he_o the_o free_a will_n offering_n of_o my_o mouth_n o_o lord_n and_o this_o offering_n above_o all_o the_o offering_n seem_v to_o be_v most_o acceptable_a unto_o god_n it_o be_v pure_o voluntary_a because_o unconstrained_a therefore_o towards_o the_o place_n for_o the_o first_o public_a worship_n you_o find_v the_o people_n so_o liberal_a in_o this_o offering_n that_o moses_n be_v fain_o to_o restrain_v they_o from_o offer_v any_o more_o exod._n 36.6_o now_o examine_v yourselves_o whether_o your_o will_n be_v thus_o bend_v for_o god_n whether_o you_o voluntary_o and_o without_o any_o reluctancy_n or_o constraint_n so_o close_o with_o this_o holy_a pleasure_n and_o command_v of_o god_n nor_o to_o busy_v yourselves_o about_o the_o many_o thing_n of_o rent_v your_o garment_n and_o keep_v a_o bustle_n about_o the_o formal_a ceremonious_a outward_a mode_n of_o worship_n but_o have_v your_o will_n take_v up_o and_o whole_o incline_v to_o the_o one_o and_o only_a thing_n necessary_a the_o rent_v of_o your_o heart_n and_o if_o upon_o a_o thorough_a search_n you_o find_v your_o will_n thus_o well_o incline_v to_o

themselves_o in_o their_o worship_n but_o they_o will_v put_v a_o force_n on_o other_o examine_v therefore_o how_o your_o will_n stand_v incline_v in_o this_o particular_a be_v you_o willing_a to_o
