urge_v in_o favour_n of_o a_o deathbed_n repentance_n be_v the_o thief_n upon_o the_o cross_n you_o read_v his_o story_n luke_n 23._o from_o verse_n 39_o our_o bless_a saviour_n be_v crucify_v between_o two_o thief_n one_o of_o they_o rail_v on_o he_o say_v if_o thou_o be_v christ_n save_v thyself_o and_o we_o as_o if_o he_o have_v say_v if_o thou_o be_v what_o thou_o pretend_v to_o be_v a_o christ_n a_o saviour_n if_o thou_o be_v not_o a_o cheat_n and_o impostor_n save_v thyself_o and_o we_o but_o the_o other_o answer_v rebuke_v he_o say_v do_v not_o thou_o fear_v god_n see_v thou_o be_v in_o the_o same_o condemnation_n and_o we_o indeed_o just_o that_o be_v we_o be_v just_o condemn_v and_o we_o just_o now_o suffer_v the_o sentence_n of_o our_o condemnation_n for_o we_o receive_v the_o due_a reward_n of_o our_o deed_n but_o this_o man_n have_v do_v nothing_o amiss_o that_o be_v he_o be_v a_o innocent_a person_n who_o the_o jew_n and_o roman_n do_v thus_o barbarous_o murder_n and_o he_o say_v unto_o jesus_n lord_n remember_v i_o when_o thou_o come_v into_o thy_o kingdom_n as_o if_o he_o have_v say_v though_o these_o contemn_v and_o revile_v thou_o as_o mean_v and_o despicable_a yet_o i_o acknowledge_v thou_o to_o be_v a_o great_a lord_n and_o that_o thou_o have_v a_o kingdom_n to_o dispose_v on_o and_o jesus_n say_v unto_o he_o very_o i_o say_v unto_o thou_o to_o day_n shall_v thou_o be_v with_o i_o in_o paradise_n that_o be_v immediate_o after_o thy_o death_n thou_o shall_v go_v to_o a_o place_n of_o happiness_n and_o there_o abide_v with_o i_o as_o a_o member_n of_o that_o my_o kingdom_n which_o thou_o owe_v ask_v for_o this_o be_v the_o story_n of_o the_o thief_n upon_o the_o cross_n from_o who_o example_n carnal_a licentious_a person_n do_v thus_o encourage_v themselves_o in_o their_o extravagant_a practice_n we_o be_v full_o convince_v of_o the_o necessity_n of_o repentance_n and_o we_o do_v as_o full_o resolve_v some_o time_n or_o other_o to_o repent_v but_o why_o shall_v we_o be_v so_o forward_o to_o disturb_v our_o pleasure_n and_o neglect_v our_o business_n as_o to_o do_v it_o now_o since_o we_o may_v repent_v hereafter_o at_o better_a leisure_n and_o though_o we_o shall_v be_v so_o far_o divert_v as_o not_o to_o repent_v till_o our_o death_n yet_o we_o have_v here_o a_o encourage_v example_n we_o shall_v then_o be_v accept_v this_o thief_n have_v be_v very_o notorious_a and_o extravagant_a a_o offender_n of_o the_o first_o rate_n and_o yet_o when_o he_o call_v for_o mercy_n though_o it_o be_v with_o his_o last_o breath_n he_o lord_n remember_v i_o when_o thou_o come_v into_o thy_o kingdom_n be_v comfortable_o answer_v with_o a_o this_o day_n thou_o shall_v be_v with_o i_o in_o paradise_n and_o therefore_o though_o the_o great_a part_n of_o our_o life_n like_o this_o thief_n be_v may_v have_v be_v spend_v in_o sin_n and_o vanity_n yet_o if_o we_o can_v but_o say_v lord_n have_v mercy_n upon_o we_o with_o our_o last_o breath_n we_o shall_v likewise_o be_v accept_v to_o this_o i_o answer_v it_o be_v a_o dangerous_a thing_n to_o presume_v on_o god_n mercy_n and_o so_o provoke_a be_v such_o presumption_n that_o if_o the_o bare_a say_n of_o these_o word_n lord_n have_v mercy_n upon_o i_o will_v save_v thy_o soul_n it_o may_v so_o happen_v through_o the_o just_a judgement_n of_o god_n thou_o may_v not_o be_v able_a to_o do_v it_o thou_o may_v die_v sudden_o or_o thou_o may_v die_v stupid_a or_o raving-mad_a but_o suppose_v thou_o have_v both_o breath_n and_o the_o use_n of_o thy_o reason_n to_o say_v these_o word_n here_o be_v very_o slender_a encouragement_n from_o the_o example_n of_o this_o thief_n that_o a_o die_a sinner_n who_o never_o repent_v till_o his_o death_n shall_v then_o find_v mercy_n for_o to_o prove_v the_o validity_n of_o a_o deathbed_n repentance_n from_o the_o example_n of_o this_o thief_n two_o thing_n be_v suppose_v 1._o that_o this_o thief_n be_v a_o very_a wicked_a man._n 2._o that_o he_o continue_v in_o his_o sin_n and_o do_v not_o repent_v till_o the_o time_n of_o his_o death_n now_o if_o neither_o of_o these_o two_o can_v be_v prove_v than_o the_o case_n of_o this_o thief_n be_v not_o parallel_v nor_o a_o firm_a foundation_n for_o the_o validity_n of_o a_o deathbed_n repentance_n 1._o it_o do_v not_o appear_v that_o this_o thief_n be_v a_o very_a wicked_a man._n he_o be_v call_v indeed_o a_o thief_n and_o die_v as_o a_o malefactor_n but_o now_o a_o good_a man_n and_o who_o be_v so_o in_o the_o general_a course_n of_o his_o life_n may_v by_o surprise_n and_o the_o violence_n of_o a_o temptation_n be_v guilty_a of_o a_o very_a bad_a action_n of_o which_o he_o afterward_o do_v sincere_o repent_v the_o very_a case_n of_o david_n
