not_o how_o to_o perform_v this_o duty_n which_o be_v subject_a to_o deceive_v themselves_o to_o let_v many_o sin_n pass_v undiscerned_a and_o oftentimes_o to_o mistake_v they_o for_o virtue_n if_o there_o be_v any_o such_o here_o as_o i_o be_o afraid_a there_o be_v too_o many_o let_v i_o desire_v you_o to_o observe_v these_o two_o rule_n for_o your_o direction_n first_o when_o you_o examine_v your_o action_n take_v heed_n you_o weigh_v they_o not_o by_o a_o false_a balance_n that_o be_v by_o a_o defile_a conscience_n for_o a_o defile_a conscience_n be_v as_o a_o false_a balance_n it_o be_v impossible_a to_o weigh_v a_o action_n right_o by_o it_o the_o jew_n have_v a_o defile_a conscience_n prefer_v barrabas_n before_o our_o saviour_n christ_n and_o this_o be_v that_o which_o deceive_v many_o when_o they_o examine_v themselves_o and_o find_v they_o do_v nothing_o against_o their_o conscience_n they_o think_v themselves_o very_o upright_o and_o just_a but_o they_o know_v not_o that_o their_o conscience_n be_v defile_v they_o consider_v not_o that_o their_o affection_n sway_v their_o conscience_n and_o can_v make_v it_o judge_v any_o thing_n lawful_a or_o unlawful_a as_o it_o please_v but_o you_o will_v say_v how_o shall_v i_o know_v when_o my_o conscience_n be_v defile_v the_o apostle_n saint_n paul_n will_v resolve_v that_o doubt_n unto_o the_o pure_a say_v he_o all_o thing_n be_v pure_a but_o unto_o they_o that_o be_v defile_v and_o unbelieved_a nothing_o be_v pure_a but_o even_o their_o mind_n and_o conscience_n be_v defile_v titus_n 1.15_o whosoever_o therefore_o live_v in_o any_o habitual_a sin_n whosoever_o allow_v himself_o to_o do_v wicked_o in_o any_o thing_n his_o conscience_n be_v defile_v and_o it_o be_v in_o vain_a for_o he_o to_o consult_v with_o it_o concern_v the_o lawfulness_n or_o unlawfulnesse_n of_o any_o action_n second_o when_o you_o examine_v your_o action_n favour_v not_o yourselves_o but_o give_v the_o same_o judgement_n upon_o your_o own_o sin_n and_o pronounce_v the_o same_o condemnation_n against_o yourselves_o which_o at_o other_o time_n you_o have_v pronounce_v against_o other_o that_o have_v commit_v the_o like_a offence_n there_o be_v many_o for_o want_v of_o observe_v this_o rule_n which_o think_v themselves_o to_o be_v much_o better_a than_o they_o be_v they_o will_v censure_v and_o scoff_n at_o other_o for_o those_o sin_n and_o infirmity_n which_o they_o commit_v every_o day_n without_o see_v they_o in_o themselves_o will_v these_o man_n but_o look_n upon_o their_o own_o action_n with_o the_o same_o impartial_a eye_n that_o they_o look_v upon_o other_o they_o will_v be_v able_a to_o judge_v better_o of_o their_o own_o way_n and_o will_v discover_v the_o same_o corruption_n in_o themselves_o which_o they_o can_v so_o easy_o discern_v in_o another_o and_o this_o be_v the_o first_o condition_n necessary_a to_o a_o true_a confession_n that_o be_v a_o due_a examination_n of_o ourselves_o and_o of_o our_o former_a life_n the_o second_o condition_n necessary_a to_o a_o true_a confession_n be_v sorrow_n and_o contrition_n of_o heart_n they_o that_o confess_v their_o sin_n and_o be_v not_o grieve_v for_o they_o may_v be_v say_v rather_o to_o relate_v or_o to_o describe_v their_o sin_n then_o to_o confess_v they_o sorrow_n be_v a_o condition_n so_o inseparable_a from_o this_o duty_n that_o where_o it_o be_v want_v it_o be_v as_o good_a to_o deny_v our_o sin_n as_o to_o confess_v they_o and_o this_o condition_n be_v express_o require_v levit._n 26.40_o where_o god_n make_v a_o promise_n to_o the_o jew_n when_o they_o shall_v be_v in_o captivity_n say_v if_o they_o shall_v confess_v their_o iniquity_n and_o the_o iniquity_n of_o their_o father_n with_o their_o trespass_n which_o they_o trespass_v against_o i_o and_o that_o they_o also_o have_v walk_v contrary_a unto_o i_o and_o that_o i_o also_o have_v walk_v contrary_a unto_o they_o and_o have_v bring_v they_o into_o the_o land_n of_o their_o enemy_n if_o then_o their_o uncircumcised_a heart_n be_v humble_v and_o they_o then_o accept_v of_o the_o punishment_n of_o their_o iniquity_n then_o will_v i_o remember_v my_o covenant_n with_o jacob_n and_o also_o my_o covenant_n with_o isaac_n and_o also_o my_o covenant_n with_o abraham_n will_v i_o remember_v and_o i_o will_v remember_v the_o land_n this_o promise_n you_o see_v which_o god_n make_v to_o the_o jew_n upon_o their_o confession_n be_v a_o conditional_a promise_n and_o the_o condition_n express_v be_v this_o if_o their_o uncircumcised_a heart_n be_v humble_v that_o be_v if_o they_o be_v break_v and_o rend_v with_o sorrow_n for_o their_o sin_n he_o do_v not_o promise_v to_o remember_v they_o whensoever_o they_o shall_v formal_o confess_v but_o if_o their_o uncircumcised_a heart_n be_v humble_v when_o they_o make_v their_o confession_n and_o therefore_o wheresoever_o you_o find_v the_o child_n of_o god_n confess_v their_o sin_n in_o scripture_n you_o shall_v find_v they_o usual_o in_o a_o humble_a and_o mournful_a posture_n in_o such_o a_o posture_n shall_v you_o find_v daniel_n at_o the_o nine_o chapter_n and_o three_o verse_n of_o his_o own_o prophecy_n where_o you_o may_v see_v that_o he_o first_o humble_v himself_o and_o by_o put_v on_o sackcloth_n and_o ash_n express_v deep_a sign_n of_o sorrow_n and_o contrition_n and_o then_o he_o proceed_v to_o make_v confession_n of_o his_o sin_n in_o such_o a_o posture_n shall_v you_o find_v ezra_n at_o the_o 9_o chapter_n and_o 5_o verse_n of_o his_o own_o book_n where_o you_o may_v see_v that_o he_o also_o by_o the_o outward_a gesture_n of_o his_o body_n first_o testify_v the_o inward_a heaviness_n and_o affliction_n of_o his_o mind_n and_o then_o proceed_v to_o make_v his_o confession_n to_o god_n and_o this_o be_v the_o true_a manner_n of_o confess_v sin_n our_o confession_n be_v then_o available_a when_o our_o heart_n be_v ready_a to_o break_v with_o sorrow_n we_o may_v be_v confident_a the_o lord_n will_v not_o despise_v we_o when_o our_o tear_n lift_v up_o our_o confession_n as_o the_o water_n lift_v up_o the_o ark._n i_o will_v not_o here_o dispute_v the_o question_n concern_v the_o quality_n of_o sorrow_n whether_o a_o sensible_a sorrow_n be_v always_o necessary_a or_o whether_o a_o appreciative_a rational_a sorrow_n will_v serve_v the_o turn_n as_o our_o romish_a doctor_n do_v general_o affirm_v for_o my_o part_n i_o take_v their_o appreciative_a rational_a sorrow_n to_o be_v a_o mere_a figment_n a_o feign_a and_o forge_a invention_n of_o their_o own_o as_o many_o other_o of_o their_o distinction_n be_v sorrow_n be_v a_o passion_n of_o the_o mind_n and_o i_o think_v a_o appreciative_a rational_a passion_n be_v a_o new_a kind_n of_o passion_n that_o be_v never_o know_v to_o any_o but_o themselves_o true_a sorrow_n without_o doubt_n have_v always_o some_o sensible_a motion_n some_o convulsion_n of_o heart_n to_o attend_v it_o it_o can_v not_o be_v a_o passion_n of_o the_o mind_n if_o it_o do_v not_o infer_v passionem_fw-la animo_fw-la some_o way_n or_o other_o sensible_o affect_v the_o soul_n i_o will_v also_o omit_v the_o question_n concern_v the_o quantity_n of_o sorrow_n which_o we_o ought_v to_o have_v namely_o whether_o sorrow_n for_o sin_n ought_v to_o be_v the_o great_a sorrow_n bellarmine_n determination_n be_v that_o it_o ought_v to_o be_v the_o great_a appreciative_n but_o not_o intensive_a i_o will_v not_o at_o this_o time_n examine_v this_o determination_n i_o say_v only_o in_o general_n that_o true_a sorrow_n proceed_v from_o the_o grace_n of_o god_n and_o not_o from_o the_o fear_n of_o punishment_n or_o any_o other_o sinister_a respect_n in_o what_o degree_n or_o quantity_n soever_o it_o be_v be_v sufficient_a to_o make_v our_o confession_n available_a before_o god_n many_o when_o they_o compare_v their_o own_o sorrow_n with_o the_o sorrow_n of_o david_n or_o with_o the_o sorrow_n of_o divers_a other_o holy_a man_n and_o woman_n which_o be_v mention_v in_o the_o scripture_n be_v much_o trouble_v in_o mind_n because_o they_o can_v equal_v they_o what_o be_v my_o tear_n say_v they_o compare_v with_o david_n tear_n what_o be_v my_o grief_n compare_v with_o the_o grief_n of_o mary_n magdalen_n thus_o they_o discourse_v within_o themselves_o and_o be_v ready_a almost_o to_o despair_v because_o they_o can_v arrive_v at_o their_o perfection_n but_o such_o comparison_n as_o these_o belove_v be_v offensive_a and_o unprofitable_a for_o why_o shall_v every_o one_o compare_v himself_o with_o david_n or_o mary_n magdalen_n which_o be_v god_n especial_a favourite_n and_o have_v a_o great_a measure_n of_o grace_n confer_v upon_o they_o than_o be_v ordinary_o confer_v upon_o other_o every_o one_o can_v hope_v to_o be_v so_o perfect_a as_o they_o be_v i_o speak_v not_o this_o to_o dishearten_v any_o or_o incline_v to_o a_o opinion_n that_o it_o be_v not_o lawful_a for_o you_o to_o desire_v
