A30143	Grace abounding to the chief of sinners, or, A brief and faithful relation of the exceeding mercy of God in Christ, to his poor servant John Bvnyan wherein is particularly shewed, the manner of his conversion, his fight and trouble for sin, his dreadful temptations, also how he despaired of Gods mercy, and how the Lord at length thorow [sic] Christ did deliver him from all the guilt and terrour that lay upon him : whereunto is added, a brief relation of his call to the work of the ministry, of his temptations therein, as also what he hath met with in prison : all which was written by his own hand there, and now published for the support of the the weak and tempted people of God.	Bunyan, John, 1628-1688.	1666 (1666)	Wing B5523; ESTC R3994	67,228	108

his_o transgression_n be_v only_o such_o as_o be_v against_o the_o law_n of_o moses_n from_o which_o the_o lord_n christ_n can_v with_o the_o consent_n of_o his_o word_n deliver_v he_o but_o i_o be_v against_o the_o gospel_n yea_o against_o the_o mediator_n thereof_o 120._o now_o again_o shall_v i_o be_v as_o if_o rack_v upon_o the_o wheel_n when_o i_o consider_v that_o beside_o the_o guilt_n that_o possess_v i_o i_o shall_v be_v so_o void_a of_o grace_n so_o bewitch_v what_o think_v i_o must_v it_o be_v no_o sin_n but_o this_o must_v it_o need_v be_v the_o great_a transgression_n psal._n 19.13_o must_v that_o wicked_a one_o touch_v my_o soul_n 1_o joh._n 5.18_o o_o what_o sting_n do_v i_o find_v in_o all_o these_o sentence_n 121._o after_o this_o i_o come_v to_o consider_v of_o peter_n sin_n which_o he_o commit_v in_o deny_v his_o master_n and_o indeed_o this_o come_v nigh_a to_o my_o of_o any_o that_o i_o can_v find_v for_o he_o have_v deny_v his_o saviour_n as_o i_o and_o that_o after_o light_n and_o mercy_n receive_v yea_o and_o that_o too_o after_o warn_v give_v he_o i_o also_o consider_v that_o he_o do_v it_o both_o once_o and_o twice_o and_o that_o after_o time_n to_o consider_v betwixt_o but_o though_o i_o put_v all_o these_o circumstance_n together_o that_o if_o possible_a i_o may_v find_v help_n yet_o i_o consider_v again_o that_o his_o be_v but_o a_o denial_n of_o his_o master_n but_o i_o be_v a_o sell_v of_o my_o saviour_n wherefore_o i_o think_v with_o myself_o that_o i_o come_v near_o to_o judas_n than_o either_o to_o david_n or_o peter_n 122._o here_o again_o my_o torment_n will_v flame_v out_o and_o afflict_v i_o yea_o it_o will_v grind_v i_o as_o it_o be_v to_o powder_v to_o discern_v the_o preservation_n of_o god_n towards_o other_o while_o i_o fall_v into_o the_o snare_n for_o in_o my_o thus_o consider_v of_o other_o man_n sin_n and_o compare_v of_o they_o with_o my_o own_o i_o can_v evident_o see_v how_o god_n preserve_v they_o notwithstanding_o their_o wickedness_n and_o will_v not_o let_v they_o as_o he_o have_v let_v i_o to_o become_v a_o son_n of_o perdition_n 123._o but_o o_o how_o do_v my_o soul_n at_o this_o time_n prize_v the_o preservation_n that_o god_n do_v set_v about_o his_o people_n ah_o how_o safe_o do_v i_o see_v they_o walk_v who_o god_n have_v hedge_v in_o they_o be_v within_o his_o care_n protection_n and_o special_a providence_n though_o they_o be_v full_a as_o bad_a as_o i_o by_o nature_n yet_o because_o he_o love_v they_o he_o will_v not_o suffer_v they_o to_o fall_v without_o the_o range_n of_o mercy_n but_o as_o for_o i_o i_o be_v go_v i_o have_v do_v it_o he_o will_v not_o preserve_v i_o nor_o keep_v i_o but_o suffer_v i_o because_o i_o be_v a_o reprobate_n to_o fall_v as_o i_o have_v do_v now_o do_v those_o bless_a place_n that_o speak_v of_o god_n keep_v his_o people_n shine_v like_o the_o sun_n before_o i_o though_o not_o to_o comfort_v i_o but_o to_o show_v i_o the_o bless_a state_n and_o heritage_n of_o those_o who_o the_o lord_n have_v bless_v 124._o then_o again_o i_o begin_v to_o compare_v my_o sin_n with_o the_o sin_n of_o ●udas_n that_o if_o possible_a i_o may_v find_v that_o i_o differ_v from_o that_o which_o in_o truth_n be_v unpardonable_a and_o o_o think_v i_o if_o it_o shall_v be_v but_o the_o breadth_n of_o a_o hair_n what_o a_o happy_a condition_n be_v my_o soul_n in_o and_o by_o consider_v i_o find_v that_o judas_n do_v his_o intentional_o but_o i_o be_v against_o my_o strive_n beside_o his_o be_v commit_v with_o much_o deliberation_n but_o i_o in_o a_o fearful_a hurry_n on_o a_o ●udden_a thus_o i_o be_v toss_v to_o and_o fro_o like_o the_o locust_n and_o drive_v from_o trouble_n to_o sorrow_n hear_v always_o the_o sound_n of_o esau_n fall_n in_o my_o ear_n and_o of_o the_o dreadful_a consequence_n thereof_o 125._o yet_o this_o consideration_n about_o judas_n his_o sin_n be_v for_o a_o while_n some_o little_a relief_n unto_o i_o for_o i_o see_v i_o have_v not_o as_o to_o the_o circumstance_n transgress_v so_o soul_o as_o he_o but_o this_o be_v quick_o go_v again_o for_o i_o think_v with_o myself_o there_o might_n be_v more_o way_n than_o one_o to_o commit_v the_o unpardonable_a sin_n and_o that_o too_o there_o may_v be_v degree_n of_o that_o as_o well_o as_o of_o other_o transgression_n wherefore_o for_o aught_o i_o yet_o can_v perceive_v this_o iniquity_n of_o i_o may_v be_v such_o as_o may_v never_o be_v pass_v by_o 126._o then_o be_v i_o strike_v into_o a_o very_a great_a tremble_a insomuch_o that_o at_o sometime_o i_o can_v for_o whole_a day_n together_o feel_v my_o very_a body_n as_o well_o as_o my_o mind_n to_o shake_v and_o torture_n under_o the_o sense_n of_o the_o dreadful_a

of_o david_n of_o solomon_n of_o manasseh_n of_o peter_n and_o the_o rest_n of_o the_o great_a offender_n and_o shall_v also_o labour_v what_o i_o may_v with_o fairness_n to_o to_o aggravate_v and_o

servant_n for_o i_o have_v not_o preach_v long_o before_o some_o begin_v to_o be_v touch_v by_o the_o word_n and_o to_o be_v great_o afflict_v in_o their_o mind_n at_o the_o apprehension_n of_o the_o

therefore_o i_o rejoice_v yea_o the_o tear_n of_o those_o who_o god_n do_v awaken_v by_o my_o preach_n will_v be_v both_o solace_n and_o encouragement_n to_o i_o for_o i_o think_v on_o those_o say_n who_o be_v he_o that_o make_v i_o glad_a but_o the_o same_o that_o be_v make_v sorry_a by_o i_o 2_o cor._n 2.2_o and_o again_o though_o i_o be_v not_o a_o apostle_n to_o other_o yet_o doubtless_o i_o be_o unto_o you_o for_o the_o seal_n of_o my_o apostleship_n be_v you_o in_o the_o lord_n 1_o cor._n 9.2_o these_o thing_n therefore_o be_v as_o another_o argument_n unto_o i_o that_o god_n have_v call_v i_o to_o and_o stand_v by_o i_o in_o this_o work_n 229._o in_o my_o preach_n of_o the_o word_n i_o take_v special_a notice_n of_o this_o one_o thing_n namely_o that_o the_o lord_n do_v lead_v i_o to_o begin_v where_o his_o word_n begin_v with_o sinner_n that_o be_v to_o condemn_v all_o flesh_n and_o to_o open_v and_o allege_v that_o the_o curse_n of_o god_n by_o the_o law_n do_v belong_v to_o and_o lay_v hold_v on_o all_o man_n as_o they_o come_v into_o the_o world_n because_o of_o sin_n now_o this_o part_n of_o my_o work_n i_o fulfil_v with_o great_a sense_n for_o the_o terror_n of_o the_o law_n and_o guilt_n for_o my_o transgression_n lay_v heavy_a on_o my_o conscience_n i_o preach_v what_o i_o feel_v what_o i_o smart_o do_v feel_v even_o that_o under_o which_o my_o poor_a soul_n do_v groan_n and_o tremble_v to_o astonishment_n 230._o indeed_o i_o have_v be_v as_o one_o send_v to_o they_o from_o the_o dead_a i_o go_v myself_o in_o chain_n to_o preach_v to_o they_o in_o chain_n and_o carry_v that_o fire_n in_o my_o own_o conscience_n that_o i_o persuade_v they_o to_o beware_v of_o i_o can_v true_o say_v and_o that_o without_o dissemble_v that_o when_o i_o have_v be_v to_o

with_o a_o strong_a hand_n for_o neither_o guilt_n nor_o hell_n can_v take_v i_o off_o my_o work_n 231._o thus_o i_o go_v for_o the_o space_n of_o two_o year_n cry_v out_o against_o man_n sin_n and_o
