put_v for_o the_o whole_a we_o be_v to_o understand_v all_o sin_n from_o the_o great_a to_o the_o least_o from_o gross_a cry_v reign_a sin_n even_o to_o our_o very_a infirmity_n the_o like_a figure_n

much_o as_o ever_o it_o do_v the_o jew_n for_o i_o appeal_v to_o every_o man_n conscience_n have_v not_o we_o as_o great_a need_n to_o be_v exhort_v to_o cast_v away_o all_o our_o transgression_n as_o

of_o the_o literal_a meaning_n of_o the_o word_n cast_v away_o all_o your_o transgression_n before_o i_o come_v to_o the_o point_n of_o doctrine_n which_o i_o principal_o aim_v at_o two_o question_n be_v first_o to_o be_v answer_v first_o whether_o repentance_n be_v in_o a_o man_n own_o power_n or_o no_o because_o the_o church_n be_v here_o exhort_v as_o by_o her_o own_o action_n to_o cast_v away_o her_o transgression_n and_o to_o make_v herself_o a_o new_a heart_n and_o a_o new_a spirit_n and_o the_o second_o question_n be_v whether_o a_o man_n have_v free_a will_n or_o no_o because_o it_o be_v say_v here_o why_o will_v you_o die_v o_o house_n of_o israel_n as_o seem_v to_o imply_v that_o it_o be_v in_o the_o free_a choice_n of_o israel_n herself_o whether_o she_o will_v be_v save_v or_o damn_v concern_v the_o first_o question_n i_o answer_v that_o true_a repentance_n or_o that_o repentance_n which_o be_v never_o to_o be_v repent_v of_o it_o be_v not_o in_o man_n power_n but_o it_o be_v the_o especial_a gift_n of_o god_n according_a to_o that_o in_o 2._o tim._n 2._o 25._o in_o meekness_n instruct_v they_o that_o oppose_v themselves_o prove_v if_o god_n peradventure_o will_v give_v they_o repentance_n to_o the_o acknowledge_v of_o the_o truth_n and_o furthermore_o every_o unregenerate_a person_n man_n or_o woman_n 23._o be_v a_o very_a black_a more_n yea_o a_o leopard_n and_o therefore_o as_o the_o black_a more_n can_v change_v his_o skin_n nor_o the_o leopard_n his_o spot_n no_o more_o can_v any_o unregenerate_a person_n do_v good_a which_o be_v accustom_v to_o do_v evil_a we_o do_v not_o deny_v but_o natural_a man_n and_o woman_n may_v attain_v 3._o some_o degree_n of_o sorrow_n as_o judas_n do_v &_o some_o degree_n of_o outward_a humiliation_n 27_o as_o ahab_n do_v and_o some_o degree_n of_o confession_n as_o pharaoh_n do_v and_o some_o degree_n of_o the_o restrain_v spirit_n as_o abimelech_n do_v and_o some_o degree_n of_o 6._o satisfaction_n unto_o man_n for_o injury_n do_v as_o the_o same_o judas_n do_v but_o to_o 5._o the_o save_a sight_n of_o sin_n or_o to_o the_o contrite_a spirit_n which_o god_n will_v not_o despise_v or_o sound_v inward_a mortification_n unto_o sin_n which_o be_v by_o the_o spirit_n or_o to_o true_a conscience_n of_o sin_n and_o love_a endeavour_n after_o righteousness_n hereunto_o a_o mere_a natural_a person_n can_v never_o attain_v by_o his_o own_o natural_a strength_n for_o it_o be_v spiritual_o and_o not_o natural_o attain_v it_o be_v the_o work_n of_o god_n and_o not_o of_o man_n and_o therefore_o ephraim_n be_v hear_v bemoan_v himself_o to_o god_n in_o these_o term_n turn_v thou_o i_o and_o i_o 18._o shall_v be_v turn_v for_o thou_o be_v the_o lord_n my_o god_n wherein_o he_o do_v secret_o acknowledge_v that_o he_o have_v not_o repentance_n in_o his_o own_o power_n but_o that_o it_o be_v the_o gift_n of_o god_n but_o here_o remain_v still_o another_o difficulty_n for_o it_o may_v be_v object_v further_a if_o repentance_n be_v not_o in_o a_o man_n own_o power_n then_o why_o do_v god_n exhort_v we_o here_o to_o cast_v off_o all_o our_o iniquity_n and_o to_o make_v ourselves_o new_a heart_n and_o new_a spirit_n god_n do_v not_o this_o because_o he_o presuppose_v a_o ability_n in_o we_o to_o perform_v that_o which_o he_o require_v but_o because_o he_o himself_o be_v ready_a to_o do_v that_o for_o we_o which_o he_o require_v at_o our_o hand_n for_o the_o word_n of_o god_n be_v not_o as_o the_o word_n of_o man_n to_o wit_n a_o bare_a sound_n or_o voice_n

first_o the_o assurance_n of_o the_o elect_a be_v wrought_v by_o the_o spirit_n of_o adoption_n but_o the_o persuasion_n of_o the_o wicked_a be_v not_o so_o but_o be_v wrought_v rather_o by_o satan_n which_o lull_v they_o asleep_a second_o the_o assurance_n of_o the_o elect_a have_v a_o sure_a foundation_n to_o wit_n the_o promise_n of_o the_o gospel_n the_o mercy_n of_o god_n and_o christ_n but_o the_o persuasion_n of_o the_o wicked_a be_v ground_v upon_o the_o sandy_a foundation_n of_o his_o own_o merit_n three_o the_o assurance_n of_o the_o elect_a breed_v a_o especial_a care_n to_o please_v god_n but_o the_o persuasion_n of_o the_o wicked_a breed_v carnal_a security_n and_o boldness_n to_o sin_n point_n the_o four_o general_a point_n propound_v concern_v this_o great_a mystery_n of_o regeneration_n be_v touch_v the_o concomitant_n of_o this_o grace_n and_o the_o concomitant_n or_o thing_n accompany_v this_o grace_n of_o regeneration_n be_v these_o first_o a_o universal_a change_n for_o there_o be_v none_o true_o regenerate_v but_o they_o be_v true_o change_v yea_o universal_o change_v all_o thing_n be_v become_v 17_o new_a with_o they_o yea_o they_o be_v change_v 18_o from_o glory_n to_o glory_n as_o by_o the_o spirit_n of_o the_o lord_n where_o we_o be_v to_o note_v that_o the_o very_a reprobate_n may_v also_o be_v change_v as_o we_o read_v of_o saul_n that_o god_n give_v 9_o he_o another_o heart_n but_o the_o change_n in_o the_o reprobate_n be_v far_o different_a from_o the_o change_n wrought_v in_o the_o elect_a for_o the_o change_n in_o the_o reprobate_n be_v but_o in_o common_a gift_n of_o the_o spirit_n as_o we_o see_v in_o saul_n he_o be_v change_v only_o to_o prophesy_v or_o to_o rule_v whereas_o the_o elect_n be_v change_v by_o special_a and_o save_a gift_n as_o to_o be_v regenerate_v saving_o to_o 10._o believe_v to_o repent_v with_o repentance_n never_o to_o be_v repent_v of_o etc._n etc._n second_o the_o reprobate_n be_v change_v but_o only_o in_o part_n they_o be_v like_o ephraim_n or_o as_o a_o cake_n bake_v on_o the_o one_o side_n but_o the_o elect_n be_v universal_o change_v both_o inward_o and_o outward_o in_o judgement_n will_n affection_n conscience_n conversation_n outward_a behaviour_n and_o the_o like_a second_o the_o second_o concomitant_a of_o regeneration_n be_v the_o combat_n between_o the_o flesh_n and_o the_o spirit_n for_o there_o be_v none_o true_o regenerate_v but_o they_o have_v a_o combat_n within_o they_o thus_o it_o be_v with_o paul_n who_o find_v in_o himself_o after_o regeneration_n a_o law_n rebel_a against_o the_o law_n of_o his_o mind_n ronvere_n 7._o 18._o where_o we_o must_v also_o note_v that_o the_o very_a reprobate_n may_v have_v a_o kind_n of_o reluctation_n by_o virtue_n of_o the_o light_n of_o their_o natural_a conscience_n as_o we_o see_v in_o the_o example_n of_o pilate_n he_o be_v loath_a to_o condemn_v christ_n he_o have_v a_o kind_n of_o 12_o strive_v within_o he_o yea_o he_o seek_v to_o release_v he_o but_o the_o difference_n be_v the_o reprobate_n have_v a_o strive_n against_o sin_n either_o in_o respect_n of_o the_o shame_n of_o sin_n or_o in_o respect_n of_o the_o fear_n of_o hell_n fire_n or_o for_o such_o like_a carnal_a end_n so_o that_o their_o strive_n be_v not_o the_o combat_n of_o the_o flesh_n and_o the_o spirit_n but_o the_o combat_n of_o the_o flesh_n and_o the_o flesh_n whereas_o the_o elect_v have_v a_o strive_n against_o sin_n for_o conscience_n sake_n and_o in_o love_n to_o god_n ●_o three_o the_o three_o concomitant_a of_o regeneration_n be_v fruitfulness_n there_o be_v none_o true_o regenerate_v but_o they_o be_v make_v fruitful_a we_o may_v instance_n for_o the_o proof_n of_o this_o point_n in_o the_o example_n of_o zaccheus_n and_o many_o other_o where_o observe_v that_o the_o wicked_a and_o unregenerate_a may_v do_v many_o seem_a good_a work_n as_o we_o see_v in_o the_o example_n of_o the_o barbarian_n who_o jade_v paul_n with_o thing_n necessary_a act_v 28._o 10._o but_o the_o difference_n be_v the_o reprobate_a and_o wicked_a do_v many_o seem_a good_a 33._o work_n either_o mercenary_o to_o receive_v the_o like_a again_o or_o vainglorious_o for_o the_o praise_n of_o man_n or_o superstitious_o 5._o with_o opinion_n of_o merit_n whereas_o the_o elect_n do_v good_a work_n unto_o such_o as_o be_v not_o able_a to_o requite_v they_o and_o that_o in_o true_a sincerity_n and_o humility_n not_o seek_v their_o own_o praise_n but_o god_n glory_n confess_v when_o they_o have_v do_v all_o that_o they_o can_v that_o they_o be_v unprofitable_a servant_n four_o the_o four_o concomitant_a of_o regeneration_n be_v the_o matter_n of_o persecution_n for_o there_o be_v none_o regenerate_v to_o live_v godly_a in_o christ_n jesus_n but_o they_o must_v suffer_v persecution_n in_o one_o kind_a or_o in_o another_o as_o paul_n speak_v in_o 2._o tim._n 3._o 9_o where_o we_o be_v also_o to_o note_n that_o the_o very_a wicked_a may_v suffer_v for_o their_o profession_n yea_o and_o suffer_v many_o thing_n for_o the_o truth_n sake_n also_o as_o paul_n imply_v in_o 1._o cor._n 13._o 3._o that_o they_o that_o be_v without_o love_n may_v give_v their_o body_n to_o be_v burn_v and_o as_o we_o see_v in_o the_o example_n of_o papist_n arrian_n and_o other_o wretched_a heretic_n which_o sometime_o be_v ready_a to_o lay_v down_o their_o life_n for_o their_o profession_n sake_n but_o the_o difference_n be_v in_o the_o cause_n of_o suffer_v for_o it_o be_v not_o the_o suffering_n but_o the_o cause_n of_o suffering_n that_o make_v the_o martyr_n the_o wicked_a and_o unregenerate_a suffer_v common_o for_o error_n and_o not_o for_o the_o truth_n or_o if_o at_o any_o time_n for_o the_o truth_n than_o it_o be_v not_o for_o love_v of_o the_o truth_n itself_o but_o for_o some_o other_o by-respect_n whereas_o the_o elect_a child_n of_o god_n suffer_v for_o the_o truth_n itself_o and_o that_o in_o love_n to_o the_o same_o and_o with_o zeal_n of_o god_n glory_n point_n the_o five_o and_o last_o general_a point_n propound_v concern_v the_o mystery_n of_o regeneration_n be_v concern_v the_o constancy_n of_o the_o same_o for_o we_o be_v to_o know_v that_o a_o man_n or_o woman_n be_v once_o regenerate_v they_o be_v for_o ever_o regenerate_v and_o be_v once_o make_v the_o child_n of_o god_n by_o adoption_n they_o be_v for_o ever_o the_o child_n of_o god_n for_o the_o proof_n of_o this_o point_n i_o commend_v unto_o you_o these_o place_n of_o scripture_n follow_v 1._o joh._n 3._o 9_o
