the_o pardon_n of_o they_o pardon_v of_o sin_n be_v the_o take_v away_o from_o the_o sinner_n obligation_n to_o punishment_n and_o punishment_n itself_o and_o these_o be_v not_o take_v away_o till_o a_o sinner_n have_v repent_v of_o his_o sin_n as_o be_v evident_a by_o the_o scripture_n otherwise_o a_o impenitent_a person_n have_v as_o much_o right_n to_o heaven_n and_o be_v as_o much_o in_o

because_o it_o be_v one_o branch_n of_o the_o antinomian_a doctrine_n in_o these_o time_n that_o all_o repentance_n which_o be_v not_o from_o the_o pardon_n of_o sin_n i._n e._n the_o sense_n and_o

to_o dethrone_v christ_n to_o make_v a_o christ_n of_o our_o repentance_n now_o for_o the_o confutation_n of_o this_o new_a anti-gospel_n doctrine_n and_o for_o a_o christian_n confirmation_n in_o the_o good_a and_o old_a doctrine_n of_o christ_n the_o prophet_n and_o apostle_n i_o will_v endeavour_v to_o demonstrate_v touch_v the_o say_a doctrine_n of_o the_o antinomian_o these_o two_o thing_n

his_o apostle_n do_v press_v any_o person_n or_o people_n to_o repent_v from_o the_o pardon_n of_o their_o sin_n it_o be_v true_a indeed_o that_o sinner_n be_v frequent_o exhort_v to_o repent_v from_o the_o consideration_n of_o god_n mercy_n and_o goodness_n in_o his_o readiness_n to_o pardon_v they_o i.e._n to_o pardon_v they_o in_o such_o way_n or_o upon_o such_o term_n as_o in_o and_o upon_o which_o god_n be_v purpose_v to_o dispense_v pardon_n i.e._n to_o pardon_v they_o if_o they_o do_v repent_v joel_n 2.12_o 13_o 14._o but_o where_o shall_v we_o read_v in_o all_o the_o book_n of_o

those_o sin_n for_o which_o they_o be_v call_v upon_o to_o repent_v 2_o suppose_v that_o some_o instance_n can_v be_v produce_v out_o of_o scripture_n of_o some_o sinner_n or_o sinner_n that_o have_v be_v inform_v from_o god_n and_o tell_v before_o hand_n that_o their_o sin_n be_v pardon_v and_o be_v thereupon_o exhort_v to_o repent_v i_o will_v answer_v that_o such_o a_o instance_n or_o instance_n will_v not_o prove_v that_o it_o be_v a_o christian_n duty_n to_o repent_v from_o and_o not_o for_o the_o pardon_n of_o his_o sin_n for_o it_o be_v the_o manner_n of_o of_o the_o holy_a

that_o end_n and_o without_o the_o use_n whereof_o it_o shall_v not_o be_v accomplish_v e._n g._n god_n do_v first_o tell_v hezekiah_n that_o he_o shall_v recover_v of_o his_o disease_n and_o that_o

because_o god_n have_v tell_v hezekiah_n before_o hand_n that_o he_o will_v add_v fifteen_o year_n to_o his_o life_n shall_v we_o therefore_o conclude_v that_o hezekiah_n do_v apply_v the_o bunch_n of_o fig_n and_o do_v ever_o after_o that_o time_n eat_v and_o drink_v from_o life_n and_o not_o for_o life_n 3._o to_o say_v that_o a_o sinner_n must_v repent_v from_o the_o pardon_n of_o his_o sin_n
