that_o we_o see_v it_o behove_v also_o that_o his_o justice_n shall_v have_v his_o course_n this_o be_v very_o true_a howbeit_o he_o mistake_v it_o in_o that_o he_o will_v have_v god_n justice_n to_o

of_o god_n work_n and_o that_o it_o proceed_v from_o he_o again_o if_o god_n have_v a_o care_n to_o feed_v man_n in_o this_o world_n think_v we_o that_o he_o which_o be_v a_o father_n in_o that_o

though_o we_o go_v to_o corruption_n see_v he_o show_v such_o power_n in_o the_o order_n of_o nature_n beside_o this_o god_n keep_v a_o steady_a hand_n in_o make_v the_o sun_n to_o rise_v &_o go_v

thereof_o here_o when_o we_o see_v such_o a_o constancy_n settle_v in_o the_o order_n of_o nature_n what_o shall_v we_o think_v of_o the_o promise_n that_o belong_v to_o our_o salvation_n which_o be_v no_o corruptible_a thing_n nor_o subject_n to_o the_o alteration_n and_o change_n of_o the_o world_n lo_o how_o the_o holy_a scripture_n train_v we_o high_o and_o high_o by_o those_o work_n of_o god_n that_o be_v near_o and_o most_o familiar_a to_o we_o nevertheless_o it_o behove_v we_o also_o too_o have_v skill_n to_o discern_v between_o god_n work_n as_o need_n require_v as_o how_o you_o see_v how_o bildad_n be_v utter_o confound_v in_o his_o own_o matter_n for_o he_o say_v that_o because_o god_n have_v create_v the_o world_n in_o settle_a order_n and_o maintain_v it_o in_o the_o same_o therefore_o it_o follow_v that_o his_o judgement_n be_v all_o certain_a &_o that_o man_n may_v see_v they_o and_o know_v they_o but_o that_o be_v a_o ill_a consequence_n why_o god_n will_v be_v that_o

notwithstanding_o that_o it_o be_v flightful_a &_o droop_a but_o his_o so_o do_v be_v as_o it_o be_v to_o take_v we_o by_o the_o hand_n to_o lift_v we_o up_o to_o heaven_n unto_o himself_o god_n

behove_v we_o to_o use_v discretion_n in_o this_o behalf_n now_o we_o understand_v how_o this_o sentence_n be_v true_a &_o yet_o misapply_v this_o sentence_n be_v true_a inasmuch_o as_o the_o order_n of_o nature_n teach_v and_o counsele_v we_o to_o seek_v the_o
have_v say_v already_o this_o balance_n be_v god_n law_n and_o thither_o shall_v our_o work_n come_v to_o be_v weigh_v and_o look_v what_o be_v find_v conformable_a to_o god_n law_n shall_v be_v

it_o behove_v we_o to_o come_v to_o the_o law_n of_o god_n it_o be_v to_o no_o purpose_n as_o i_o have_v say_v already_o for_o man_n to_o bring_v their_o own_o weighte_n and_o measure_n and_o to_o

not_o commit_v a_o great_a crime_n than_o if_o he_o have_v forge_v some_o ware_n see_v that_o case_n stand_v so_o let_v we_o learn_v too_o rule_v ourselves_o as_o the_o scripture_n show_v that_o be_v to_o wit_n let_v we_o in_o all_o our_o work_n consider_v well_o what_o god_n have_v appoint_v and_o let_v we_o without_o reply_v take_v that_o for_o good_a which_o he_o allow_v in_o his_o law_n and_o

the_o papacy_n for_o whereof_o come_v it_o that_o man_n do_v so_o lift_v up_o themselves_o and_o every_o one_o devise_n some_o meene_n or_o other_o of_o serve_v god_n to_o say_v this_o be_v good_a

he_o say_v it_o as_o well_o to_o the_o great_a as_o to_o the_o small_a then_o see_v our_o lord_n send_v aswell_o king_n as_o handicraft_n man_n too_o this_o general_a rule_n of_o life_n show_v we_o

the_o first_o be_v that_o god_n will_v not_o judge_v man_n life_n at_o adventure_n but_o only_o by_o his_o law_n and_o the_o second_o be_v that_o there_o be_v no_o competent_a judge_n but_o he_o

to_o mark_v well_o this_o point_n that_o god_n will_v judge_v our_o work_n by_o the_o trial_n of_o his_o law_n and_o that_o serve_v first_o to_o beat_v down_o all_o the_o vain_a trust_n of_o

they_o according_a as_o we_o see_v how_o that_o when_o the_o papist_n have_v take_v much_o pain_n in_o their_o devotion_n they_o think_v that_o god_n be_v in_o their_o debt_n for_o it_o or_o else_o that_o he_o will_v never_o quit_v they_o unless_o they_o bring_v such_o thing_n with_o they_o no_o no_o let_v they_o go_v ask_v their_o wage_n of_o he_o that_o do_v set_v they_o a_o work_n for_o god_n disallow_v it_o every_o whit_n he_o affirm_v that_o he_o will_v judge_v man_n work_n by_o put_v they_o into_o the_o balance_n that_o be_v to_o say_v by_o examine_v they_o after_o his_o law_n he_o will_v not_o devise_v a_o new_a judgement_n but_o he_o have_v give_v we_o his_o law_n and_o that_o god_n be_v both_o the_o lawgiver_n and_o also_o the_o judge_n be_v thing_n that_o go_v joint_o

there_o a_o agreableness_n between_o the_o law_n which_o he_o have_v give_v we_o to_o keep_v &_o the_o judgement_n that_o he_o must_v execute_v thus_o they_o as_o concern_v the_o first_o point_n you_o

we_o will_v not_o look_v for_o any_o other_o day_n for_o all_o shall_v be_v accomplish_v in_o this_o world_n and_o then_o where_o be_v the_o article_n of_o our_o faith_n concern_v our_o rise_n again_o and_o our_o come_n before_o the_o judgement_n seat_n of_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n to_o be_v short_a there_o shall_v be_v neither_o reward_n for_o the_o good_a nor_o fear_v for_o the_o wicked_a and_o rebellious_a and_o this_o be_v also_o the_o cause_n why_o it_o be_v purposely_o say_v in_o the_o holy_a scripture_n that_o god_n will_v render_v recompense_n or_o requite_v saint_n paul_n speak_v of_o the_o righteousness_n of_o god_n say_v not_o that_o he_o will_v recompense_v from_o day_n too_o day_n but_o that_o he_o will_v recompense_v and_o when_o at_o the_o last_o day_n elius_n say_v be_v not_o against_o this_o sentence_n but_o when_o he_o say_v that_o god_n will_v render_v he_o presuppose_v the_o thing_n that_o be_v true_a namely_o that_o it_o behove_v we_o to_o hold_v our_o mind_n at_o a_o stay_n until_o god_n show_v we_o the_o thing_n that_o be_v hide_v from_o we_o for_o a_o time_n our_o faith_n i_o say_v must_v be_v exercise_v in_o wait_v patient_o for_o the_o thing_n that_o we_o perceive_v not_o as_o yet_o it_o be_v enough_o for_o we_o that_o god_n give_v we_o some_o token_n of_o his_o justice_n and_o show_v we_o some_o notable_a example_n whereby_o we_o be_v enforce_v to_o feel_v that_o he_o have_v a_o eye_n unto_o man_n to_o punish_v their_o offence_n if_o god_n give_v we_o any_o record_n of_o it_o let_v we_o be_v content_v and_o in_o the_o mean_a while_n be_v patient_a until_o we_o know_v the_o thing_n that_o he_o as_o now_o reserve_v to_o himself_o thus_o you_o see_v how_o we_o must_v take_v this_o sentence_n to_o apply_v it_o to_o our_o use_n the_o second_o point_n be_v that_o god_n do_v not_o so_o recompense_v every_o man_n according_a to_o his_o work_n but_o that_o he_o also_o bear_v with_o they_o who_o he_o punish_v and_o show_v they_o some_o favour_n although_o that_o on_o the_o one_o side_n he_o be_v rigorous_a too_o they_o and_o make_v they_o feel_v that_o he_o be_v their_o judge_n howbeit_o that_o be_v to_o do_v we_o to_o wit_n that_o as_o in_o respect_n of_o the_o world_n god_n pass_v not_o to_o punish_v our_o sin_n in_o such_o measure_n as_o they_o do_v deserve_v for_o what_o a_o thing_n be_v that_o he_o shall_v not_o send_v we_o disease_n want_n and_o such_o other_o thing_n but_o he_o shall_v thunder_v upon_o we_o and_o overwhelm_v we_o at_o the_o first_o blow_n so_o as_o we_o shall_v not_o feel_v some_o terrible_a punishment_n but_o he_o shall_v arm_v himself_o in_o his_o mighty_a majesty_n to_o confound_v and_o overwhelm_v we_o for_o what_o be_v our_o sin_n so_o then_o let_v we_o mark_v that_o god_n punish_v not_o sinner_n out_o of_o hand_n and_o make_v they_o too_o feel_v his_o vengeance_n in_o full_a measure_n as_o they_o have_v deserve_v it_o but_o bear_v with_o they_o so_o that_o all_o the_o chastisement_n which_o we_o receive_v in_o this_o world_n be_v but_o god_n warning_n in_o give_v leisure_n to_o repent_v not_o that_o the_o same_o shall_v profit_v all_o man_n â–ª_o for_o the_o wicked_a be_v condemn_v already_o because_o they_o be_v past_a amendment_n and_o god_n have_v not_o only_o frame_v their_o indictment_n but_o also_o set_v down_o their_o condemnation_n which_o be_v ready_a to_o be_v execute_v whensoever_o he_o will._n how_o soever_o the_o world_n go_v if_o we_o consider_v well_o the_o chastizement_n that_o god_n show_v we_o in_o this_o world_n all_o of_o they_o be_v nothing_o comparable_a unto_o our_o sin_n but_o he_o give_v we_o respite_n to_o the_o end_n we_o shall_v think_v upon_o they_o thus_o see_v you_o yet_o one_o other_o point_n which_o we_o have_v to_o mark_v in_o this_o text._n and_o the_o third_o be_v that_o god_n do_v not_o so_o recompense_v man_n according_a to_o their_o way_n but_o that_o he_o reserve_v power_n to_o himself_o to_o pardon_v those_o who_o he_o list_v when_o he_o intend_v to_o bring_v they_o back_o to_o himself_o god_n do_v not_o punish_v his_o choose_a and_o why_o for_o it_o please_v he_o to_o receive_v they_o to_o mercy_n and_o too_o be_v at_o one_o with_o they_o of_o his_o own_o free_a goodness_n and_o in_o so_o do_v he_o bury_v their_o sin_n so_o as_o he_o enter_v not_o into_o judgement_n with_o they_o as_o it_o be_v say_v in_o the_o psalm_n god_n then_o have_v liberty_n to_o put_v away_o our_o offence_n without_o punish_v they_o and_o yet_o the_o same_o be_v no_o derogation_n at_o all_o to_o his_o justice_n and_o why_o for_o when_o god_n list_v to_o forgive_v our_o sin_n how_o deal_v he_o he_o nourish_v not_o the_o evil_a in_o we_o but_o he_o touch_v we_o with_o it_o and_o show_v we_o it_o and_o make_v we_o to_o feel_v how_o sore_o we_o have_v offend_v he_o and_o afterward_o give_v we_o a_o mind_n to_o be_v sorry_a &_o to_o mourn_v for_o our_o sin_n when_o we_o be_v so_o touch_v with_o repentance_n we_o become_v judge_n of_o our_o own_o fault_n and_o condemn_v they_o and_o by_o that_o mean_v god_n have_v execute_v his_o office_n for_o it_o be_v much_o more_o when_o a_o man_n condemn_v himself_o than_o if_o he_o be_v condemn_v of_o god_n and_o gnash_v his_o tooth_n and_o abide_v still_o unamendable_a and_o stubborn_a in_o his_o wickedness_n therefore_o god_n forget_v not_o his_o office_n when_o he_o draw_v we_o too_o repentance_n for_o he_o pardon_v not_o our_o sin_n to_o the_o intent_n too_o cocker_v we_o but_o contrariwise_o too_o the_o intent_n to_o double_v his_o righteousness_n so_o as_o on_o the_o one_o side_n we_o may_v feel_v the_o evil_a that_o we_o have_v commit_v and_o on_o the_o other_o side_n he_o may_v make_v his_o mercy_n shine_v upon_o we_o too_o discover_v the_o misery_n wherein_o we_o be_v till_o he_o have_v set_v we_o free_a from_o they_o and_o therefore_o let_v we_o mark_v well_o that_o god_n forgive_a of_o the_o offence_n of_o his_o choose_a be_v no_o derogation_n at_o all_o to_o his_o justice_n that_o this_o say_n shall_v not_o be_v always_o true_a that_o he_o recompense_v man_n according_a to_o their_o work_n and_o make_v they_o find_v according_a to_o their_o way_n now_o we_o see_v the_o thing_n that_o i_o have_v touch_v which_o be_v that_o to_o glorify_v god_n in_o his_o righteousness_n it_o behove_v we_o always_o to_o be_v persuade_v in_o our_o affliction_n that_o we_o suffer_v not_o any_o thing_n wrongful_o but_o that_o god_n have_v reason_n too_o chastise_v we_o and_o that_o if_o we_o enter_v into_o quarrel_v with_o he_o we_o shall_v but_o make_v our_o case_n the_o worse_a and_o furthermore_o let_v we_o understand_v that_o god_n do_v so_o bear_v with_o we_o through_o his_o goodness_n as_o we_o have_v always_o cause_n too_o perceive_v that_o we_o be_v exceed_o bind_v unto_o he_o for_o that_o he_o use_v no_o extreme_a rigour_n against_o we_o as_o he_o ought_v to_o do_v final_o let_v we_o understand_v that_o although_o he_o make_v we_o feel_v his_o vengeance_n yet_o he_o spare_v we_o and_o that_o although_o he_o show_v himself_o rough_a and_o sharp_a yet_o do_v he_o intermeddle_v his_o goodness_n with_o it_o and_o therefore_o that_o he_o be_v always_o righteous_a insomuch_o that_o man_n shall_v gain_v nothing_o when_o they_o think_v to_o quit_v themselves_o but_o the_o best_a for_o we_o be_v that_o when_o we_o see_v that_o god_n call_v we_o and_o allure_v we_o to_o come_v unto_o he_o we_o fall_v to_o feel_n of_o our_o offence_n before_o the_o blow_n come_v and_o be_v sorry_a and_o mourn_v for_o they_o so_o as_o god_n may_v be_v incline_v to_o forgive_v we_o lo_n what_o we_o have_v in_o effect_n

in_o very_a deed_n you_o shall_v see_v that_o the_o principal_a matter_n that_o baldad_n pretend_v be_v to_o maintain_v that_o god_n be_v righteous_a in_o punish_v man_n and_o that_o there_o be_v no_o

righteousness_n and_o justice_n let_v we_o mark_v that_o although_o the_o same_o be_v not_o full_o know_v and_o manifest_a unto_o we_o yet_o we_o must_v honour_v and_o reverence_v it_o it_o be_v say_v

as_o to_o know_v what_o be_v in_o he_o but_o yet_o nevertheless_o we_o must_v be_v full_o persuade_v in_o ourselves_o that_o it_o be_v the_o property_n and_o nature_n of_o god_n to_o do_v all_o

speak_v of_o god_n they_o can_v well_o say_v that_o he_o be_v the_o sovereign_a creator_n of_o the_o world_n but_o yet_o in_o the_o mean_a season_n they_o acknowledge_v not_o the_o thing_n that_o be_v

except_o we_o draw_v it_o out_o of_o he_o who_o be_v the_o wellspring_n thereof_o now_o if_o we_o know_v not_o these_o thing_n what_o shall_v it_o avail_v we_o to_o know_v that_o there_o be_v but_o only_o one_o god_n who_o contain_v all_o thing_n &_o to_o have_v some_o feel_n of_o his_o majesty_n wherefore_o so_o much_o the_o more_o behove_v it_o we_o to_o mark_v well_o what_o be_v say_v here_o that_o be_v to_o wit_n that_o we_o must_v take_v it_o for_o a_o ground_a principle_n that_o god_n nature_n be_v righteous_a &_o that_o it_o be_v no_o more_o possible_a for_o he_o to_o turn_v aside_o

of_o god_n pure_a truth_n and_o to_o stand_v check_v &_o reply_v against_o it_o saint_n paul_n therefore_o say_v be_v god_n unrightuous_a how_o shall_v it_o be_v possible_a that_o he_o to_o who_o it_o

be_v say_v in_o the_o holy_a scripture_n that_o god_n teach_v man_n righteousness_n by_o execute_v his_o judgement_n hereby_o the_o prophet_n isaiah_n show_v that_o so_o long_o as_o sin_n abide_v

because_o they_o never_o know_v what_o god_n justice_n be_v for_o whereof_o come_v this_o hypocrisy_n in_o the_o popedom_n that_o man_n shall_v preach_v free_a will_n merit_n and_o satisfaction_n

seat_n to_o feel_v how_o guilty_a they_o be_v therefore_o let_v we_o mark_v well_o that_o when_o we_o desire_v god_n to_o show_v we_o wherefore_o he_o plead_v against_o we_o â–ª_o the_o justify_n

believe_v that_o we_o be_v able_a to_o shift_v out_o of_o it_o according_a as_o every_o of_o we_o imagine_v one_o shift_n or_o other_o insomuch_o that_o our_o hypocrisy_n be_v the_o cause_n that_o

notwithstanding_o man_n do_v for_o all_o that_o blear_v their_o own_o eye_n and_o not_o consider_v that_o god_n perceive_v they_o and_o sure_o it_o be_v not_o for_o naught_o say_v in_o the_o psalm_n

that_o there_o be_v no_o darkness_n so_o thick_a that_o can_v hide_v the_o wicked_a from_o god_n sight_n and_o for_o the_o better_a conceive_v hereof_o it_o behove_v we_o first_o of_o all_o too_o remember_v what_o i_o have_v touch_v namely_o that_o man_n although_o they_o be_v sure_a that_o they_o shall_v one_o day_n come_v before_o the_o judgement_n seat_n of_o god_n do_v neverthe_o less_o

let_v we_o mark_v that_o man_n deceive_v themselves_o in_o shrink_v away_o after_o that_o sort_n from_o god_n in_o that_o because_o they_o themselves_o have_v lose_v their_o remembrance_n they_o

of_o chastisement_n we_o deserve_v for_o they_o but_o the_o wellspring_n from_o whence_o this_o pride_n come_v be_v for_o that_o we_o will_v be_v our_o own_o judge_n to_o justify_v our_o self_n and_o who_o have_v give_v we_o so_o great_a authority_n behold_v all_o judgement_n be_v give_v unto_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n and_o therefore_o it_o behove_v we_o to_o come_v before_o he_o with_o

that_o this_o thing_n be_v not_o do_v unjust_o for_o god_n say_v he_o will_v bring_v their_o work_n to_o light_n although_o then_o that_o god_n punish_v without_o inquisition_n that_o be_v to_o say_v

to_o the_o end_n that_o every_o of_o we_o may_v stir_v up_o himself_o with_o it_o both_o early_o and_o late_o let_v we_o remember_v this_o text_n that_o god_n will_v not_o make_v long_a process_n in_o

ought_v to_o do_v so_o then_o god_n have_v just_a cause_n to_o let_v man_n perish_v after_o that_o manner_n and_o why_o because_o he_o call_v they_o to_o he_o &_o they_o come_v not_o to_o he_o the_o

and_o by_o and_o by_o we_o will_v condemn_v god_n if_o it_o lay_v in_o our_o power_n or_o else_o we_o fall_v to_o jangle_v against_o he_o for_o suffer_v all_o thing_n too_o go_v after_o that_o

&_o to_o drown_v they_o in_o the_o deep_a of_o hell_n because_o they_o can_v not_o make_v their_o profit_n of_o it_o nevertheless_o the_o holy_a ghost_n provoke_v we_o to_o receive_v the_o

we_o from_o humble_v of_o ourselves_o before_o god_n and_o from_o confess_v of_o our_o fault_n before_o man_n hypocrisy_n make_v we_o to_o labour_v continual_o to_o cloak_v our_o sin_n &_o to_o pretend_v to_o give_v ourselves_o unto_o goodness_n when_o in_o the_o mean_a while_n our_o heart_n be_v far_o from_o it_o and_o we_o go_v the_o clean_a contrary_a way_n and_o again_o pride_n make_v we_o to_o desire_v always_o to_o be_v in_o good_a reputation_n alas_o we_o seek_v to_o be_v esteem_v among_o man_n or_o at_o leastwise_o to_o keep_v ourselves_o from_o reproach_n and_o although_o we_o know_v our_o own_o sin_n yet_o be_v we_o loath_a to_o be_v tell_v of_o they_o and_o in_o the_o mean_a while_n behold_v our_o condemnation_n increase_v and_o double_v before_o god_n and_o his_o angel_n and_o therefore_o let_v we_o learn_v too_o tame_a this_o pride_n until_o it_o be_v full_o subdue_v so_o as_o we_o may_v come_v to_o our_o god_n with_o all_o humility_n and_o not_o only_o confess_v our_o wretchedness_n before_o he_o but_o also_o endeavour_n too_o edify_v our_o neighbour_n if_o a_o man_n demand_v for_o what_o cause_n we_o shall_v speak_v so_o before_o man_n there_o be_v two_o reason_n the_o one_o be_v that_o god_n may_v be_v know_v too_o be_v only_o righteous_a as_o i_o have_v say_v and_o that_o his_o grace_n may_v appear_v and_o shine_v forth_o although_o god_n can_v forbear_v our_o confession_n yet_o notwithstanding_o he_o will_v have_v it_o open_o and_o manifest_o know_v that_o we_o be_v in_o his_o debt_n and_o we_o see_v it_o be_v impossible_a to_o know_v his_o goodness_n towards_o we_o if_o we_o be_v not_o utter_o cast_v down_o and_o even_o at_o the_o point_n of_o despair_n thus_o you_o see_v the_o first_o reason_n why_o we_o ought_v too_o confess_v before_o our_o neighbour_n the_o goodness_n that_o we_o have_v feel_v at_o god_n hand_n in_o that_o he_o have_v deliver_v we_o from_o death_n and_o from_o the_o destruction_n wherein_o we_o be_v plunge_v also_o there_o be_v a_o second_o reason_n which_o be_v that_o other_o man_n shall_v be_v edify_v by_o our_o example_n i_o have_v be_v exercise_v in_o affliction_n and_o god_n have_v be_v so_o gracious_a to_o deliver_v i_o out_o of_o it_o it_o be_v good_a that_o other_o shall_v know_v of_o it_o that_o when_o god_n shall_v afflict_v they_o they_o may_v think_v with_o themselves_o behold_v god_n hand_n be_v upon_o i_o and_o he_o summon_v i_o and_o why_o for_o i_o be_v as_o it_o be_v drunken_a in_o my_o sin_n i_o be_v as_o a_o stray_n beast_n and_o now_o i_o see_v that_o he_o intend_v to_o draw_v i_o home_o and_o to_o set_v i_o into_o the_o way_n of_o salvation_n again_o therefore_o it_o be_v good_a that_o man_n shall_v be_v warn_v of_o god_n work_v which_o we_o have_v feel_v in_o ourselves_o according_a as_o we_o see_v in_o very_a deed_n that_o the_o confession_n which_o the_o faithful_a have_v make_v in_o time_n past_a do_v serve_v at_o this_o day_n for_o our_o learning_n if_o we_o have_v not_o the_o example_n of_o david_n in_o the_o great_a number_n of_o affliction_n which_o he_o feel_v and_o overcome_v as_o soon_o as_o we_o feel_v any_o small_a adversity_n we_o shall_v forthwith_o be_v at_o the_o point_n of_o despair_n but_o when_o we_o see_v that_o the_o issue_v be_v good_a and_o profitable_a unto_o david_n and_o that_o he_o confess_v it_o too_o have_v be_v a_o necessary_a thing_n for_o he_o too_o be_v so_o afflict_v and_o chastise_v at_o god_n hand_n we_o also_o do_v trust_n in_o god_n and_o flee_v unto_o he_o assure_v ourselves_o that_o it_o be_v his_o office_n too_o raise_v man_n out_o of_o the_o grave_n when_o he_o have_v cast_v they_o into_o it_o so_o then_o when_o we_o confess_v our_o sin_n and_o report_v how_o god_n have_v visit_v we_o with_o rigour_n for_o a_o time_n and_o afterward_o quicken_v we_o again_o it_o serve_v to_o instruct_v our_o neighbour_n that_o they_o may_v not_o be_v novice_n nor_o think_v it_o strange_a when_o god_n shall_v visit_v they_o in_o their_o turn_n and_o that_o as_o i_o have_v say_v they_o may_v know_v themselves_o to_o be_v wretched_a sinner_n and_o seek_v the_o remedy_n of_o it_o by_o put_v their_o trust_n in_o the_o death_n and_o passion_n of_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n and_o be_v more_o and_o more_o stir_v up_o too_o serve_v and_o honour_v he_o when_o they_o shall_v have_v feel_v his_o goodness_n and_o grace_n by_o experience_n in_o that_o he_o have_v receive_v they_o so_o to_o mercy_n thus_o you_o see_v that_o the_o thing_n which_o be_v show_v here_o be_v not_o unprofitable_a for_o a_o hundred_o be_v edify_v and_o instruct_v by_o the_o example_n of_o one_o man_n and_o therefore_o let_v we_o learn_v to_o put_v away_o retchlessness_n when_o our_o lord_n shall_v have_v show_v we_o any_o favour_n so_o as_o we_o may_v magnify_v his_o goodness_n before_o man_n and_o the_o same_o may_v be_v preach_v with_o one_o common_a accord_n and_o afterward_o it_o be_v say_v for_o a_o conclusion_n he_o have_v deliver_v my_o soul_n from_o the_o pit_n and_o my_o life_n from_o enter_v into_o the_o grave_n true_o this_o can_v be_v thorough_o dispatch_v as_o now_o but_o it_o must_v suffice_v we_o to_o have_v a_o short_a abridgement_n of_o it_o as_o need_n require_v for_o the_o join_n of_o this_o part_n too_o that_o with_o i_o have_v declare_v already_o discourse_n have_v be_v make_v of_o the_o confess_v of_o sin_n how_o man_n ought_v not_o to_o be_v ashamed_a to_o condemn_v themselves_o &_o that_o afterward_o it_o behove_v they_o immediate_o to_o add_v the_o praise_n of_o god_n in_o that_o they_o have_v know_v his_o goodness_n and_o therefore_o it_o be_v say_v i_o have_v sin_v i_o have_v turn_v away_o from_o goodness_n yea_o and_o it_o have_v not_o boot_v i_o at_o all_o but_o my_o god_n have_v draw_v i_o out_o of_o the_o pit_n then_o assoon_o as_o the_o holy_a ghost_n have_v teach_v we_o to_o acknowledge_v our_o wretchedness_n &_o to_o be_v ashamed_a of_o it_o he_o will_v have_v we_o immediate_o to_o preach_v god_n mercy_n according_a as_o we_o have_v feel_v it_o how_o he_o suffer_v we_o not_o to_o perish_v as_o we_o must_v needs_o have_v do_v if_o he_o have_v not_o help_v we_o and_o let_v we_o mark_v well_o how_o it_o be_v say_v here_o unto_o sinner_n that_o it_o shall_v not_o boot_n they_o to_o resist_v their_o maker_n then_o what_o shall_v we_o gain_v when_o we_o hide_v our_o sin_n and_o think_v not_o upon_o they_o but_o rather_o nourish_v they_o by_o fond_a selfelyke_v alas_o alas_o it_o be_v always_o too_o our_o great_a destruction_n but_o when_o god_n discover_v our_o iniquity_n and_o make_v we_o too_o feel_v they_o them_z do_v he_o procure_v our_o profit_n for_o therein_o he_o provoke_v we_o too_o resort_v unto_o he_o thus_o you_o see_v the_o first_o point_n that_o we_o have_v to_o mark_v in_o this_o strain_v and_o further_o let_v we_o mark_v also_o that_o when_o god_n shake_v we_o off_o and_o lay_v our_o wickedness_n too_o our_o charge_n there_o be_v no_o remedy_n but_o we_o must_v be_v forlorn_a until_o our_o god_n be_v pitiful_a to_o we_o and_o receive_v we_o too_o mercy_n and_o therefore_o whensoever_o god_n forgive_v our_o sin_n it_o be_v all_o one_o as_o if_o he_o raise_v we_o from_o death_n so_o as_o we_o must_v conclude_v that_o when_o we_o be_v so_o reconcile_v unto_o god_n then_o have_v he_o wrought_v a_o resurrection_n in_o us._n we_o be_v dead_a and_o there_o be_v no_o hope_n of_o life_n in_o respect_n of_o ourselves_o and_o he_o reach_v out_o his_o hand_n to_o make_v we_o alive_a again_o and_o too_o draw_v we_o unto_o he_o so_o then_o let_v we_o learn_v to_o magnify_v the_o grace_n of_o the_o forgiveness_n of_o sin_n acknowledge_v that_o god_n do_v raise_v we_o to_o life_n as_o often_o as_o it_o please_v he_o to_o receive_v we_o to_o mercy_n and_o forasmuch_o as_o we_o see_v that_o satan_n cease_v not_o to_o thrust_v we_o from_o so_o great_a a_o benefit_n let_v we_o be_v so_o much_o the_o more_o inflame_v and_o provoke_v to_o exalt_v it_o high_o as_o it_o deserve_v now_o let_v we_o fall_v down_o before_o the_o face_n of_o our_o good_a god_n with_o
