misery_n lent_n be_v a_o season_n for_o sorrow_n this_o week_n be_v the_o suburb_n of_o lent_n this_o day_n the_o leader_n of_o this_o week_n shrove-sunday_n ancient_o use_v for_o penitent_n confess_v of_o their_o sin_n wherefore_o what_o doctrine_n more_o needful_a in_o itself_o more_o useful_a to_o we_o more_o suitable_a to_o the_o season_n then_o to_o shrive_v ourselves_o to_o god_n on_o shrove-sunday_n join_v with_o david_n in_o his_o penitential_a devotion_n remember_v not_o o_o lord_n the_o sin_n of_o my_o youth_n 5._o which_o word_n contain_v david_n petition_n to_o the_o king_n of_o heaven_n that_o he_o will_v be_v please_v to_o pass_v a_o act_n of_o oblivion_n of_o the_o sin_n of_o his_o youth_n premise_v we_o this_o that_o god_n can_v proper_o be_v say_v either_o to_o remember_v or_o forget_v because_o all_o thing_n always_o present_v themselves_o as_o present_v unto_o he_o but_o in_o scripture_n phrase_n god_n be_v say_v then_o to_o remember_v man_n sin_n when_o he_o do_v punish_v they_o then_o to_o forget_v man_n sin_n when_o he_o do_v pardon_v they_o thus_o as_o moses_n veil_v his_o face_n that_o he_o may_v be_v the_o better_o behold_v so_o god_n to_o allay_v the_o purity_n of_o his_o imcomprehensiblenesse_n with_o mean_a mettle_n namely_o with_o expression_n after_o the_o manner_n of_o man_n to_o make_v it_o work_v to_o our_o capacity_n let_v we_o praise_v god_n for_o his_o goodness_n herein_o that_o whereas_o we_o can_v not_o ascend_v to_o he_o he_o do_v descend_v to_o we_o and_o let_v we_o pray_v he_o that_o as_o here_o he_o do_v cloud_n the_o object_n to_o make_v it_o fit_a for_o our_o eye_n so_o hereafter_o he_o will_v clear_v our_o eye_n to_o make_v they_o fit_a for_o the_o object_n when_o in_o heaven_n we_o shall_v see_v he_o as_o he_o be_v 6._o before_o we_o come_v to_o the_o principal_a point_n we_o must_v first_o clear_v the_o text_n from_o the_o encumbrance_n of_o a_o double_a objection_n the_o first_o be_v this_o it_o may_v seem_v may_n some_o say_v very_o improbable_a that_o david_n shall_v have_v any_o sin_n of_o his_o youth_n if_o we_o consider_v the_o principal_n whereupon_o his_o youth_n be_v pass_v the_o first_o be_v poverty_n we_o read_v that_o his_o father_n jesse_n pass_v for_o a_o old_a man_n we_o read_v not_o that_o he_o pass_v for_o a_o rich_a man_n and_o probable_o his_o seven_o proper_a son_n be_v the_o principal_a part_n of_o his_o wealth_n second_o painfulness_n david_n though_o the_o young_a be_v not_o make_v a_o darling_n but_o a_o drudge_n send_v by_o his_o father_n to_o follow_v the_o ewe_n big_a with_o young_a where_o he_o may_v seem_v to_o have_v learned_a innocence_n and_o simplicity_n from_o the_o sheep_n he_o keep_v three_o piety_n psal_n 71._o 5._o for_o thou_o be_v my_o hope_n o_o lord_n god_n thou_o be_v my_o trust_n from_o my_o youth_n and_o again_o in_o the_o 17_o verse_n of_o the_o same_o psalm_n o_o god_n thou_o have_v teach_v i_o from_o my_o youth_n david_n begin_v to_o be_v good_a betimes_o a_o young_a saint_n and_o yet_o cross_v that_o pestilent_a proverb_n be_v no_o old_a devil_n and_o what_o be_v more_o still_o he_o be_v constant_a in_o the_o furnace_n of_o affliction_n psal_n 88_o 15._o even_o from_o my_o youth_n up_o thy_o terror_n have_v i_o suffer_v with_o a_o trouble_a mind_n the_o question_n than_o will_v be_v this_o how_o can_v that_o water_n be_v corrupt_v which_o be_v daily_o clarify_v how_o can_v that_o steel_n gather_v rust_n which_o be_v due_o file_v how_o can_v david_n soul_n in_o his_o youth_n be_v sooty_a with_o sin_n which_o be_v constant_o scour_v with_o suffer_v 7._o but_o the_o answer_n be_v easy_a for_o though_o david_n for_o the_o main_n be_v a_o man_n after_o god_n own_o heart_n the_o best_a transcript_n of_o the_o best_a copy_n yet_o he_o especial_o in_o his_o youth_n have_v his_o fault_n and_o infirmity_n yea_o his_o sin_n and_o transgression_n though_o the_o scripture_n make_v no_o mention_n of_o any_o eminent_a sin_n in_o his_o youth_n the_o business_n with_o beersheba_n be_v just_o to_o be_v refer_v to_o david_n reduce_v and_o elder_a age_n i_o will_v not_o conclude_v that_o david_n be_v of_o a_o wanton_a constitution_n because_o of_o a_o ready_a complexion_n it_o be_v as_o injurious_a a_o inference_n to_o conclude_v all_o bad_a which_o be_v beautiful_a as_o it_o be_v a_o false_a and_o flatter_a consequence_n to_o say_v all_o be_v honest_a who_o be_v deform_v rather_o we_o may_v collect_v david_n youth_n guilty_a of_o wantonness_n from_o his_o have_v so_o many_o wife_n and_o concubine_n but_o what_o go_v i_o about_o to_o do_v expect_v not_o that_o i_o shall_v tell_v you_o the_o particular_a sin_n when_o he_o can_v not_o tell_v his_o own_o psal_n 19_o who_o can_v tell_v how_o oft_o he_o offend_v or_o how_o can_v david_n sin_n be_v know_v to_o i_o which_o he_o confess_v be_v unknown_a to_o himself_o which_o make_v he_o to_o say_v o_o lord_n cleanse_v i_o from_o my_o secret_a sin_n but_o to_o silence_v our_o curiosity_n that_o our_o conscience_n may_v speak_v if_o david_n youth_n which_o be_v poor_a painful_a and_o pious_a be_v guilty_a of_o sin_n what_o shall_v we_o say_v of_o such_o who_o education_n have_v be_v wealthy_a wanton_n and_o wicked_a and_o i_o report_v the_o rest_n to_o be_v act_v with_o shame_n sorrow_n and_o silence_n in_o every_o man_n conscience_n 8._o the_o second_o objection_n have_v more_o difficulty_n in_o it_o which_o be_v this_o this_o may_v seem_v but_o a_o superfluous_a prayer_n of_o david_n for_o whereas_o in_o charity_n it_o may_v and_o must_v be_v presume_v that_o david_n long_o since_o have_v beg_v pardon_n for_o his_o youthful_a sin_n that_o upon_o his_o beg_n god_n have_v grant_v it_o that_o upon_o his_o grant_v god_n never_o revoke_v it_o what_o need_v now_o have_v david_n to_o prefer_v this_o petition_n for_o pardon_n of_o antiquate_a sin_n time_n out_o of_o mind_n commit_v by_o he_o time_n out_o of_o mind_n remit_v by_o god_n 9_o to_o this_o objection_n i_o shape_v a_o fourfold_a answer_n first_o though_o david_n no_o doubt_n long_v since_o have_v be_v true_o sorrowful_a for_o his_o youthful_a sin_n yet_o he_o be_v sensible_a in_o himself_o that_o if_o god_n will_v be_v extreme_a to_o mark_v what_o be_v do_v amiss_o though_o he_o have_v repent_v of_o those_o his_o sin_n yet_o he_o have_v sin_v in_o that_o his_o repentance_n second_o though_o god_n have_v forgive_v david_n sin_n so_o far_o forth_o as_o to_o pardon_v he_o eternal_a damnation_n yet_o he_o have_v not_o remit_v unto_o he_o temporal_a affliction_n which_o perchance_o press_v upon_o he_o at_o this_o present_a he_o pray_v in_o this_o psalm_n for_o the_o remove_n or_o mitigate_a of_o they_o so_o then_o the_o sense_n of_o his_o word_n sound_v thus_o remember_v not_o lord_n the_o sin_n of_o my_o youth_n that_o be_v lord_n lighten_v and_o lessen_v the_o affliction_n which_o lie_v upon_o i_o in_o this_o my_o old_a age_n just_o inflict_v on_o i_o for_o my_o youthful_a sin_n three_o god_n pardon_n for_o sin_n past_a be_v ever_o grant_v with_o this_o condition_n that_o the_o party_n so_o pardon_v be_v bind_v to_o his_o good_a behaviour_n for_o the_o time_n to_o come_v which_o if_o he_o break_v he_o deserve_v in_o the_o strictness_n of_o justice_n to_o forfeit_v the_o benefit_n of_o his_o pardon_n now_o david_n be_v guilty_a afterward_o in_o that_o grand_a transgression_n of_o beersheba_n and_o uriah_n which_o may_v in_o the_o extremity_n of_o justice_n have_v make_v all_o his_o youthful_a sin_n to_o be_v punish_v afresh_o upon_o he_o last_o grant_v david_n certain_o assure_v of_o the_o pardon_n of_o his_o youthful_a sin_n yet_o god_n servant_n may_v pray_v for_o those_o blessing_n they_o have_v in_o possession_n not_o for_o the_o obtain_n of_o that_o they_o have_v that_o be_v needless_a but_o for_o the_o keep_n of_o what_o they_o have_v obtain_v that_o be_v necessary_a yea_o god_n be_v well_o please_v with_o such_o prayer_n of_o his_o saint_n and_o interpret_v they_o to_o be_v praise_n unto_o he_o and_o then_o these_o word_n remember_v not_o the_o sin_n of_o my_o youth_n amount_v to_o this_o effect_n bless_a be_v thy_o gracious_a goodness_n who_o have_v forgive_v i_o the_o sin_n of_o my_o youth_n however_o here_o we_o may_v see_v that_o in_o matter_n of_o devotion_n too_o much_o caution_n can_v do_v amiss_o in_o the_o point_n of_o pardon_n for_o sin_n we_o can_v seek_v too_o oft_o shut_v too_o safe_a bind_v too_o sure_a and_o therefore_o david_n who_o pray_v elsewhere_o lord_n remember_v david_n in_o his_o trouble_n he_o can_v well_o be_v content_v god_n will_v remember_v david_n person_n to_o protect_v it_o david_n piety_n to_o reward_v it_o david_n misery_n to_o remove_v

it_o wrong_v do_v to_o david_n to_o revenge_v it_o but_o as_o for_o david_n sin_n and_o especial_o the_o sin_n of_o his_o youth_n here_o he_o lie_v at_o another_o guard_n remember_v not_o lord_n the_o sin_n of_o my_o youth_n 10._o come_v we_o now_o to_o the_o principal_a point_n which_o be_v this_o youth_n be_v a_o age_n wherein_o man_n be_v prone_a to_o be_v excessive_o sinful_a by_o youth_n i_o understand_v that_o distance_n of_o age_n which_o be_v interpose_v betwixt_o infancy_n and_o the_o time_n wherein_o nature_n decay_v all_o the_o time_n that_o a_o man_n in_o his_o strength_n be_v in_o his_o own_o dispose_n now_o the_o reason_n why_o youth_n rather_o than_o infancy_n or_o old_a age_n shall_v be_v prone_a to_o wickedness_n be_v these_o first_o because_o that_o in_o youth_n they_o first_o break_v loose_a from_o the_o command_n of_o their_o master_n gal._n 4._o 1._o now_o i_o say_v that_o the_o heir_n as_o long_o as_o he_o be_v a_o child_n differ_v nothing_o from_o a_o servant_n though_o he_o be_v lord_n of_o all_o but_o be_v under_o tutor_n and_o governor_n until_o the_o time_n appoint_v of_o the_o father_n which_o time_n though_o long_o a_o come_n when_o it_o come_v at_o last_o be_v very_o welcome_a to_o young_a man_n isaiah_n say_v in_o his_o heart_n the_o day_n for_o the_o mourning_n for_o my_o father_n isaac_n will_v come_v short_o then_o will_v i_o slay_v my_o brother_n jacob._n thus_o young_a man_n plot_n project_n and_o promise_v to_o themselves_o the_o day_n will_v come_v when_o my_o father_n or_o master_n or_o tutor_n will_v die_v either_o natural_o or_o legal_o will_v decease_v either_o in_o his_o person_n or_o power_n over_o i_o and_o then_o i_o will_v roar_v and_o revel_v and_o gad_n and_o game_n and_o dice_n and_o drink_v and_o what_o not_o in_o a_o word_n young_a man_n think_v that_o they_o just_o may_v have_v a_o action_n against_o their_o parent_n for_o false_a imprisonment_n because_o they_o have_v unjust_o curb_v and_o confine_v their_o will_n and_o though_o they_o dare_v not_o lay_v their_o action_n against_o their_o parent_n yet_o to_o make_v the_o best_a amends_o they_o may_v to_o themselves_o who_o they_o conceive_v heretofore_o wrong_v with_o too_o much_o restraint_n they_o will_v hereafter_o right_a with_o too_o much_o liberty_n 11._o second_o because_o youth_n be_v a_o age_n wherein_o man_n passion_n be_v most_o headstrong_a violent_a and_o impetuous_a so_o that_o it_o may_v be_v call_v the_o midsummer_n moon_n or_o if_o you_o will_v rather_o the_o dog_n day_n of_o man_n life_n 12._o three_o because_o as_o in_o youth_n man_n mind_n be_v most_o strong_a to_o desire_v so_o their_o body_n be_v most_o able_a and_o active_a to_o perform_v any_o wickedness_n 13._o last_o because_o young_a man_n put_v the_o day_n of_o death_n far_o from_o they_o for_o there_o be_v nothing_o that_o more_o fright_v man_n from_o profaneness_n and_o into_o piety_n than_o the_o serious_a apprehension_n of_o death_n appear_v with_o the_o arrearage_n thereof_o eternal_a damnation_n in_o case_n the_o party_n die_v not_o in_o the_o faith_n and_o favour_n of_o god_n now_o whereas_o old_a man_n see_v death_n in_o plano_fw-la as_o under_o their_o eye_n death_n be_v represent_v to_o young_a man_n in_o landskipt_v as_o at_o a_o great_a distance_n from_o they_o and_o when_o old_a man_n discourse_v to_o young_a man_n of_o death_n young_a man_n be_v ready_a to_o answer_v they_o as_o the_o high_a priest_n do_v judas_n in_o a_o different_a case_n what_o be_v that_o to_o we_o look_v you_o unto_o it_o the_o day_n of_o a_o man_n say_v david_n be_v threescore_o year_n and_o ten_o now_o what_o some_o man_n possible_o may_v live_v to_o young_a man_n think_v they_o certain_o must_v live_v to_o they_o will_v not_o abate_v a_o day_n nor_o a_o minute_n nor_o a_o moment_n of_o threescore_o and_o ten_o they_o have_v calculate_v their_o own_o nativity_n and_o so_o long_o they_o be_v sure_o they_o shall_v live_v 14._o as_o for_o the_o sin_n whereof_o youth_n be_v most_o proper_o guilty_a they_o be_v these_o first_o pride_n and_o indeed_o though_o they_o and_o none_o else_o have_v any_o just_a cause_n to_o be_v proud_a yet_o they_o have_v the_o best_a seem_a cause_n to_o flesh_n and_o blood_n for_o young_a man_n have_v health_n and_o strength_n and_o swiftness_n and_o valour_n and_o wit_n and_o wisdom_n too_o as_o they_o think_v themselves_o though_o indeed_o the_o more_o fool_n because_o they_o think_v so_o themselves_o 15._o second_o prodigality_n for_o they_o begin_v where_o their_o father_n do_v end_v and_o be_v the_o elder_a son_n especial_o in_o matter_n of_o worldly_a wealth_n as_o good_a man_n at_o their_o start_n as_o their_o father_n be_v at_o the_o end_n of_o their_o race_n and_o common_o it_o come_v to_o pass_v that_o where_o the_o father_n like_o logic_n have_v his_o fist_n contract_v the_o son_n like_o rhetoric_n have_v his_o hand_n expanded_a 16._o the_o three_o sin_n of_o youth_n be_v rashness_n for_o as_o old_a man_n because_o they_o be_v acquaint_v with_o the_o change_n and_o chance_n of_o the_o world_n when_o they_o go_v about_o any_o great_a action_n start_v all_o doubt_n danger_n and_o difficulty_n probable_a and_o possible_a whereby_o sometime_o it_o come_v to_o pass_v that_o by_o their_o tedious_a tarry_n on_o causeless_a caution_n they_o lose_v the_o advantage_n of_o great_a action_n which_o be_v make_v to_o go_v off_o with_o a_o spring_n of_o speedy_a execution_n so_o on_o the_o other_o side_n young_a man_n who_o know_v little_a and_o fear_v less_o be_v loath_a to_o confess_v the_o poverty_n of_o their_o experience_n by_o borrow_a council_n from_o other_o rash_o run_v on_o often_o to_o their_o hurt_n always_o to_o their_o hazard_n as_o if_o success_n be_v bind_v out_o of_o duty_n to_o attend_v their_o most_o desperate_a design_n yea_o david_n himself_o can_v be_v excuse_v from_o this_o sin_n of_o rashness_n witness_v his_o word_n to_o abigail_n the_o 1_o of_o sam._n 25._o 34._o as_o the_o lord_n god_n of_o israel_n live_v except_o thou_o have_v hasten_v and_o come_v to_o meet_v i_o sure_o there_o have_v not_o be_v leave_v unto_o nabal_n by_o to_o morrow_n light_n any_o that_o piss_v against_o the_o wall_n a_o precipitate_a project_n what_o if_o the_o master_n be_v wilful_a must_v all_o the_o servant_n be_v woeful_a what_o if_o nabal_n have_v be_v too_o niggardly_o of_o his_o meat_n must_v david_n be_v too_o prodigal_a of_o his_o sword_n yea_o and_o he_o bind_v it_o too_o with_o a_o oath_n so_o that_o either_o he_o take_v god_n name_n too_o vain_o in_o jest_n or_o the_o innocent_a blood_n too_o sad_o in_o earnest_n rashness_n be_v the_o three_o sin_n of_o youth_n 17._o disobedience_n to_o parent_n follow_v in_o the_o four_o place_n a_o great_a sin_n to_o which_o young_a man_n be_v much_o subject_n especial_o if_o their_o parent_n be_v feeble_a and_o froward_a and_o foolish_a too_o perchance_o as_o dote_v by_o age_n than_o they_o be_v ready_a to_o despise_v they_o 18._o the_o five_o and_o last_o sin_n we_o insist_v on_o be_v wantonness_n the_o proper_a and_o paramount_n sin_n of_o youth_n and_o therefore_o s._n paul_n write_v to_o timothy_n 2_o tim._n 2._o 22._o flee_v youthful_a lust_n one_o may_v think_v this_o precept_n to_o timothy_n may_v well_o have_v be_v spare_v consider_v that_o timothy_n have_v a_o weak_a body_n subject_a to_o often_o infirmity_n and_o such_o sick_a folk_n be_v likely_a to_o think_v rather_o of_o a_o wind_a sheet_n than_o wantonness_n second_o timothy_n be_v

of_o youth_n but_o alas_o youth_n be_v capable_a of_o and_o subject_a to_o all_o sin_n whatsoever_o and_o yet_o though_o youth_n be_v too_o bad_a in_o itself_o let_v we_o not_o make_v it_o worse_o
