to_o be_v afraid_a to_o sin_n that_o he_o may_v be_v fear_v or_o if_o we_o have_v sin_v to_o make_v we_o present_o to_o forsake_v our_o sin_n and_o to_o be_v sorrowful_a for_o our_o offence_n for_o the_o mercy_n of_o god_n lead_v we_o to_o repentance_n say_v the_o apostle_n and_o herein_o be_v the_o difference_n betwixt_o the_o wicked_a and_o the_o godly_a man_n application_n of_o god_n

but_o then_o he_o infer_v a_o most_o damnable_a consequence_n 2.5_o how_o the_o wicked_a do_v abuse_v god_n goodness_n rom._n 2.5_o that_o therefore_o he_o may_v the_o more_o bold_o go_v on_o in_o

as_o his_o sole_a encouragement_n to_o go_v on_o in_o sin_n and_o thereby_o he_o heap_v unto_o himself_o wrath_n against_o the_o day_n of_o wrath_n because_o as_o the_o wise_a man_n say_v mercy_n and_o wrath_n come_v from_o god_n and_o his_o indignation_n fall_v down_o upon_o sinner_n but_o second_o the_o godly_a consider_v the_o goodness_n of_o god_n do_v thereupon_o exceed_o fear_v to_o sin_n because_o they_o be_v loath_a to_o offend_v so_o good_a a_o god_n sin_n the_o consideration_n of_o god_n goodness_n be_v a_o mean_n to_o preserve_v the_o good_a man_n from_o sin_n that_o have_v be_v so_o gracious_a and_o so_o bountiful_a unto_o they_o and_o if_o at_o any_o time_n through_o their_o infirmity_n they_o do_v offend_v he_o they_o will_v present_o return_v to_o god_n because_o they_o know_v god_n be_v ever_o ready_a to_o receive_v they_o and_o so_o they_o make_v the_o consideration_n of_o god_n goodness_n to_o be_v a_o hindrance_n of_o their_o sin_v and_o offend_a god_n

may_v be_v call_v irremissible_a three_o way_n first_o privative_o when_o the_o sin_n by_o congruence_n of_o merit_n deserve_v damnation_n though_o by_o the_o congruence_n of_o god_n mercy_n it_o may_v be_v pardon_v and_o so_o be_v all_o sin_n irremissible_a if_o we_o consider_v their_o just_a desert_n second_o contrary_o when_o the_o sin_n do_v not_o only_o deserve_v punishment_n but_o also_o oppose_v pardon_n and_o refuse_v all_o the_o mean_n of_o remission_n and_o so_o be_v the_o sin_n against_o the_o holy_a ghost_n irremissible_a because_o it_o not_o only_o not_o seek_v but_o also_o reject_v and_o oppose_v pardon_n three_o negative_o it_o that_o there_o be_v no_o sin_n in_o the_o world_n but_o god_n can_v forgive_v it_o when_o the_o sin_n can_v no_o way_n be_v remit_v and_o so_o in_o my_o judgement_n be_v no_o sin_n unpardonable_a for_o though_o in_o regard_n of_o our_o impenitency_n and_o perpetual_a
of_o themselves_o but_o as_o david_n be_v much_o move_v when_o he_o see_v the_o people_n smite_v for_o his_o sin_n 17_o 2_o sam._n 2d_o 17_o and_o as_o jacob_n halt_v when_o the_o angel_n smite_v he_o

be_v punish_v then_o our_o self_n and_o therefore_o see_v that_o fearful_a curse_n of_o the_o prophet_n child_n to_o serve_v god_n be_v the_o great_a good_a that_o we_o can_v do_v unto_o our_o child_n let_v the_o iniquity_n of_o his_o father_n be_v have_v in_o remembrance_n and_o let_v not_o the_o sin_n of_o his_o mother_n be_v do_v away_o do_v light_n so_o heavy_o upon_o the_o child_n of_o the_o

unto_o our_o child_n for_o they_o may_v assure_v themselves_o that_o as_o the_o old_a verse_n say_v de_fw-fr male_a quaesitis_fw-la vix_fw-la gaudet_fw-la tertius_fw-la haeres_fw-la if_o they_o have_v
