god_n himself_o deal_v with_o his_o servant_n david_n in_o those_o his_o unclean_a and_o bloody_a fact_n first_o to_o bring_v he_o to_o the_o sight_n of_o those_o sin_n he_o put_v the_o case_n by_o another_o and_o so_o bring_v david_n to_o pronounce_v sentence_n upon_o himself_o so_o my_o desire_n be_v that_o each_o of_o you_o will_v make_v david_n case_n your_o own_o and_o as_o in_o the_o like_a fact_n you_o will_v be_v ready_a in_o another_o man_n case_n to_o pronounce_v sentence_n as_o he_o do_v against_o the_o man_n that_o have_v deal_v so_o cruel_o so_o now_o to_o make_v his_o example_n your_o pattern_n to_o make_v it_o your_o own_o case_n that_o as_o he_o be_v convince_v by_o the_o prophet_n to_o be_v the_o man_n who_o he_o have_v condemn_v in_o the_o like_a case_n of_o another_o be_v thereby_o bring_v to_o a_o acknowledgement_n of_o his_o own_o sin_n and_o so_o receive_v a_o gracious_a acquittance_n so_o you_o also_o be_v now_o convict_v of_o your_o heavy_a and_o bloody_a fact_n by_o such_o apparent_a evidence_n may_v by_o david_n example_n be_v bring_v to_o a_o acknowledgement_n thereof_o and_o so_o with_o david_n obtain_v a_o answer_n of_o the_o pardon_n of_o your_o sin_n howsoever_o for_o the_o satisfy_n of_o the_o world_n and_o humble_v of_o the_o flesh_n you_o be_v like_a with_o david_n to_o answer_v blood_n for_o blood_n the_o second_o thing_n i_o

these_o three_o thing_n do_v not_o now_o trouble_v you_o more_o than_o ever_o before_o that_o be_v sorrow_n shame_n and_o fear_n 1_o sorrow_n for_o your_o life_n past_o so_o wicked_o miss_v 2_o

advise_v not_o so_o much_o to_o look_v upon_o we_o who_o have_v only_o power_n to_o kill_v the_o body_n as_o to_o look_v up_o unto_o the_o lord_n who_o have_v power_n to_o destroy_v both_o body_n

lord_n forgive_v he_o the_o iniquity_n of_o they_o all_o and_o no_o soon_o shall_v you_o acknowledge_v yourselves_o worthy_a to_o die_v but_o the_o lord_n will_v answer_v you_o you_o shall_v not_o die_v but_o live_v for_o if_o you_o be_v now_o dead_a in_o sin_n by_o harden_v your_o heart_n in_o the_o denial_n thereof_o though_o you_o be_v live_v to_o the_o world_n yet_o you_o be_v dead_a unto_o god_n and_o so_o shall_v never_o die_v out_o of_o the_o punishment_n of_o sin_n how_o soever_o you_o be_v ever_o die_v in_o the_o horror_n thereof_o but_o if_o you_o shall_v now_o dieunto_o sin_n by_o unfeigned_a repentance_n though_o you_o may_v die_v for_o your_o sin_n by_o the_o hand_n of_o man_n yet_o you_o shall_v live_v for_o ever_o without_o sin_n by_o the_o power_n of_o god_n and_o
