of_o peter_n by_o his_o first_o denial_n of_o christ_n he_o shall_v quick_o be_v tempt_v to_o deny_v he_o again_o if_o he_o yield_v to_o one_o temptation_n he_o shall_v soon_o meet_v with_o more_o and_o strong_a at_o first_o only_o a_o damsel_n ask_v the_o question_n but_o afterward_o the_o whole_a company_n accuse_v he_o as_o a_o follower_n of_o christ_n he_o that_o will_v venture_v upon_o a_o

and_o peter_n here_o from_o a_o bare_a denial_n to_o perjury_n and_o curse_v and_o imprecation_n the_o admission_n of_o one_o link_n of_o a_o chain_n will_v make_v way_n for_o more_o and_o without_o watch_v against_o the_o beginning_n of_o sin_n they_o will_v soon_o multiply_v as_o one_o curl_a circle_n in_o the_o water_n produce_v a_o second_o and_o so_o a_o three_o of_o a_o large_a size_n and_o figure_n than_o itself_o when_o you_o yield_v to_o any_o temptation_n of_o the_o devil_n you_o know_v not_o where_o you_o shall_v stop_v you_o give_v he_o a_o advantage_n against_o you_o you_o weaken_v and_o harden_n your_o own_o heart_n stifle_v conscience_n and_o lay_v yourselves_o more_o open_a unto_o temptation_n and_o your_o resistance_n will_v still_o be_v weak_a 2._o let_v we_o hearty_o pity_v those_o who_o by_o the_o surprise_n of_o a_o great_a temptation_n have_v sin_v like_o peter_n in_o deny_v their_o temptation_n their_o we_o have_v a_o sad_a instance_n of_o one_o of_o our_o countryman_n now_o before_o we_o who_o renounce_v his_o baptism_n and_o christianity_n in_o a_o hour_n of_o temptation_n lord_n let_v we_o not_o present_o censure_v and_o condemn_v they_o of_o the_o sin_n against_o the_o holy_a ghost_n or_o of_o sin_v wilful_o after_o the_o knowledge_n of_o the_o truth_n in_o such_o a_o manner_n as_o that_o it_o shall_v be_v impossible_a for_o they_o to_o be_v renew_v again_o to_o repentance_n let_v we_o rather_o pray_v for_o they_o that_o it_o be_v not_o a_o sin_n unto_o death_n especial_o when_o we_o have_v any_o instance_n of_o their_o case_n their_o as_o we_o have_v in_o the_o present_a case_n repentance_n for_o the_o sin_n unto_o death_n and_o the_o sin_n against_o the_o holy_a ghost_n exclude_v repentance_n such_o as_o be_v guilty_a do_v never_o repent_v 3._o let_v we_o not_o be_v high-minded_a but_o fear_v and_o while_o we_o stand_v take_v heed_n lest_o we_o fall_v do_v a_o apostle_n and_o so_o great_a a_o apostle_n deny_v and_o forswear_v his_o lord_n and_o that_o so_o soon_o after_o he_o have_v be_v at_o the_o lord_n table_n which_o be_v but_o the_o night_n before_o or_o but_o some_o few_o hour_n before_o and_o shall_v any_o of_o we_o be_v confident_a of_o our_o own_o courage_n and_o constancy_n how_o many_o instance_n be_v there_o of_o those_o who_o have_v shameful_o fall_v in_o a_o hour_n of_o temptation_n of_o such_o as_o have_v renounce_v their_o christianity_n in_o turkey_n and_o receive_v the_o imposture_n of_o mahomet_n of_o many_o more_o in_o popish_a country_n that_o have_v abjure_v the_o reform_a religion_n to_o comply_v with_o the_o superstition_n and_o impurity_n of_o rome_n many_o such_o there_o be_v who_o once_o think_v themselves_o as_o unlikely_a to_o do_v so_o as_o any_o of_o we_o can_v now_o think_v that_o we_o be_v and_o shall_v we_o be_v positive_a and_o certain_a confident_a and_o presumptuous_a that_o though_o we_o have_v all_o their_o temptation_n we_o shall_v not_o do_v as_o they_o have_v not_o peter_n think_v you_o more_o reason_n to_o think_v and_o hope_v well_o of_o himself_o and_o to_o believe_v that_o he_o shall_v rather_o die_v with_o christ_n than_o deny_v he_o than_o any_o of_o we_o have_v thanks_o be_v to_o god_n you_o do_v not_o yet_o meet_v with_o the_o temptation_n that_o other_o have_v experience_v and_o that_o there_o be_v no_o near_a prospect_n that_o you_o shall_v meet_v with_o such_o temptation_n yea_o i_o rejoice_v in_o the_o hope_n that_o many_o of_o we_o will_v be_v assist_v and_o enable_v by_o god_n rather_o to_o die_v for_o christ_n than_o deliberate_o to_o abjure_v and_o deny_v he_o but_o let_v we_o not_o be_v
