but_o because_o there_o be_v truth_n in_o god_n to_o perform_v his_o promise_n and_o we_o repent_v because_o we_o believe_v remission_n here_o note_n that_o to_o believe_v remission_n may_v be_v

for_o it_o be_v not_o this_o evident_a by_o the_o preach_n of_o christ_n and_o his_o apostle_n mar._n 1._o 15._o act._n 2._o 38._o and_o 3._o 19_o the_o performance_n of_o this_o promise_a remission_n do_v presuppose_v penitency_n in_o the_o sinner_n yea_o and_o do_v put_v he_o more_o upon_o it_o so_o that_o as_o of_o faith_n there_o be_v one_o act_n that_o do_v go_v before_o remission_n and_o

out_o and_o again_o that_o if_o they_o do_v repent_v their_o sin_n shall_v be_v blot_v out_o consequent_o there_o be_v a_o repentance_n which_o be_v require_v as_o a_o mean_a to_o obtain_v remission_n and_o that_o by_o the_o warrant_n of_o scripture-text_n and_o therefore_o it_o be_v no_o doctrine_n of_o antichrist_n not_o footstep_n of_o the_o man_n of_o sin_n to_o declare_v repentance_n as_o a_o

this_o answer_n the_o reason_n be_v because_o sin_n be_v not_o yet_o take_v away_o out_o of_o the_o conscience_n by_o the_o application_n of_o the_o blood_n of_o christ_n to_o say_v that_o there_o

when_o the_o body_n be_v in_o good_a order_n and_o yet_o the_o conscience_n in_o spiritual_a distress_n do_v it_o not_o appear_v that_o sin_n lie_v at_o the_o door_n and_o must_v be_v remove_v out_o of_o the_o conscience_n by_o the_o application_n of_o the_o blood_n of_o christ_n application_n of_o the_o plaster_n be_v no_o less_o necessary_a than_o the_o preparation_n of_o it_o the_o
