those_o sin_n he_o have_v be_v any_o time_n through_o frailty_n guilty_a of_o all_o which_o be_v sound_a mark_n of_o unfeigned_a repentance_n if_o we_o will_v believe_v what_o the_o apostle_n say_v concern_v the_o fruit_n and_o effect_n of_o godly_a sorrow_n in_o 2_o cor._n 7.10_o 11._o three_o his_o sincere_a obedience_n his_o sound_a faith_n and_o unfeigned_a repentance_n can_v not_o choose_v

this_o it_o make_v he_o most_o religious_o devout_a in_o all_o the_o duty_n and_o service_n of_o public_a and_o private_a worship_n it_o make_v he_o frequent_a in_o good_a and_o edify_a discourse_n and_o in_o heavenly_a ejaculation_n and_o prayer_n and_o that_o even_o amid_o his_o great_a pain_n it_o make_v he_o charitable_a to_o the_o poor_a humble_a and_o modest_a temperate_a and_o sober_a just_a and_o peaceable_a forgetful_a and_o forgive_a of_o injury_n and_o in_o a_o word_n it_o make_v he_o do_v all_o thing_n that_o christ_n have_v command_v he_o not_o out_o of_o any_o bye_n and_o sinister_a end_n but_o in_o pure_a obedience_n to_o god_n will_v and_o out_o of_o a_o respect_n to_o god_n glory_n and_o his_o own_o soul_n salvation_n now_o what_o do_v all_o these_o thing_n else_o but_o testify_v that_o he_o live_v and_o dye_v in_o the_o lord_n for_o they_o who_o be_v baptize_v into_o the_o true_a faith_n live_v and_o die_v in_o it_o repent_v of_o all_o their_o sin_n and_o
