design_n be_v to_o inform_v you_o that_o these_o come_v short_a of_o their_o duty_n and_o that_o every_o sinner_n who_o will_v make_v his_o peace_n with_o god_n must_v exceed_v they_o as_o there_o be_v science_n false_o so_o call_v so_o there_o be_v repentance_n too_o and_o it_o be_v not_o to_o be_v doubt_v but_o that_o more_o perish_v by_o repent_v amiss_o than_o do_v by_o not_o repent_v at_o all_o few_o so_o sear_v but_o after_o one_o sort_n or_o another_o do_v something_o that_o they_o call_v so_o and_o yet_o though_o the_o number_n of_o such_o penitent_n be_v as_o the_o sand_n upon_o the_o seashore_n but_o a_o remnant_n of_o they_o shall_v be_v save_v no_o more_o than_o those_o of_o they_o who_o to_o their_o repentance_n add_v amendment_n if_o any_o thing_n less_o will_v have_v serve_v these_o speak_v to_o in_o the_o text_n will_v not_o have_v be_v find_v fault_n with_o they_o have_v the_o look_n of_o penitent_n they_o speak_v the_o language_n of_o penitent_n they_o wear_v the_o garment_n of_o penitent_n they_o use_v the_o diet_n of_o penitent_n but_o when_o there_o be_v nothing_o more_o all_o this_o commend_v they_o not_o to_o god_n but_o be_v censure_v by_o the_o baptist_n as_o the_o ceremonious_a sacrifice_n of_o fool_n as_o the_o vainglorious_a neglect_n of_o the_o body_n and_o they_o warn_v as_o they_o will_v fly_v from_o the_o wrath_n to_o come_v not_o to_o abuse_v themselves_o with_o such_o deceitful_a fancy_n give_v to_o understand_v that_o repentance_n strict_o take_v if_o it_o be_v true_a have_v no_o promise_n but_o as_o it_o be_v productive_a of_o a_o change_n of_o life_n and_o upon_o that_o account_n with_o a_o conscientious_a plainness_n vehemence_n and_o sharpness_n he_o here_o press_v they_o that_o they_o will_v bring_v forth_o fruit_n meet_v for_o repentance_n that_o the_o reason_n of_o this_o exhortation_n may_v appear_v the_o clear_a i_o will_v desire_v your_o attention_n to_o the_o open_v these_o three_o thing_n first_o that_o a_o bare_a repentance_n without_o fruit_n be_v not_o all_o that_o be_v require_v of_o we_o in_o order_n to_o our_o pardon_n two_o that_o we_o may_v bring_v forth_o several_a fruit_n of_o repentance_n and_o yet_o not_o those_o that_o be_v meet_v neither_o three_o that_o as_o we_o will_v have_v our_o repentance_n accept_v we_o must_v not_o content_v ourselves_o with_o any_o fruit_n but_o such_o as_o proper_o manifest_v the_o sincerity_n and_o ingenuity_n of_o it_o the_o first_o of_o these_o particular_n i_o will_v speak_v to_o be_v that_o a_o bare_a repentance_n without_o fruit_n be_v not_o all_o that_o be_v require_v of_o we_o in_o order_n to_o our_o pardon_n so_o the_o baptist_n plain_o impli_v here_o but_o be_v this_o like_o a_o forerunner_n of_o christ_n this_o seem_v not_o so_o much_o to_o prepare_v as_o contradict_v the_o way_n of_o the_o lord_n his_o command_n be_v that_o repentance_n and_o remission_n of_o sin_n shall_v be_v preach_v in_o his_o name_n and_o be_v not_o this_o to_o put_v asunder_o that_o which_o he_o have_v join_v together_o seem_o it_o do_v so_o but_o if_o we_o consider_v the_o different_a acceptation_n of_o this_o word_n in_o scripture_n we_o shall_v find_v no_o cause_n to_o be_v offend_v one_o do_v not_o destroy_v what_o the_o other_o build_v they_o both_o mean_v the_o same_o thing_n for_o the_o most_o part_n repentance_n be_v use_v in_o so_o comprehensive_a a_o sense_n as_o to_o note_v both_o the_o tree_n and_o the_o fruit_n too_o according_o st._n paul_n when_o he_o sum_v up_o the_o whole_a duty_n of_o a_o christian_a reduce_v it_o to_o these_o two_o head_n act_n 10.21_o repentance_n towards_o god_n and_o faith_n towards_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n where_o faith_n be_v only_o a_o believe_v the_o article_n of_o our_o religion_n repentance_n must_v include_v in_o it_o all_o the_o rest_n our_o conformity_n to_o all_o its_o precept_n and_o if_o we_o will_v understand_v it_o thus_o too_o much_o can_v be_v say_v of_o it_o so_o it_o be_v the_o evangelical_n city_n of_o refuge_n the_o undoubted_a heir_n of_o the_o promise_n but_o if_o we_o take_v repentance_n for_o no_o more_o than_o sometime_o be_v mean_v by_o it_o for_o that_o particular_a grace_n single_o so_o it_o be_v no_o otherwise_o the_o condition_n of_o the_o new_a covenant_n than_o a_o hopeful_a spring_n be_v harvest_n to_o cure_v those_o dangerous_a conceit_n of_o this_o kind_n that_o be_v so_o rife_o and_o have_v be_v imbibe_v so_o deep_a we_o will_v take_v a_o view_n of_o the_o several_a part_n of_o which_o repentance_n do_v consist_v and_o show_v you_o that_o there_o be_v not_o any_o of_o they_o but_o what_o may_v be_v in_o they_o that_o perish_v repentance_n be_v such_o a_o inward_a sense_n of_o our_o sin_n as_o bring_v we_o to_o a_o acknowledgement_n of_o they_o with_o grief_n for_o what_o be_v past_a and_o purpose_n to_o reform_v for_o the_o future_a have_v but_o these_o four_o thing_n in_o it_o conviction_n confession_n

man_n have_v think_v fit_a to_o set_v it_o out_o under_o the_o affect_a title_n of_o the_o pang_n of_o the_o new_a birth_n and_o teach_v their_o follower_n to_o date_n their_o conversion_n from_o the_o terror_n of_o it_o when_o it_o be_v only_o a_o apprehension_n of_o our_o gild_n and_o danger_n it_o can_v in_o itself_o be_v any_o virtue_n at_o all_o be_v but_o that_o we_o be_v mere_o passive_a in_o they_o who_o use_v study_v art_n to_o elude_v it_o can_v no_o more_o prevent_v it_o than_o they_o can_v the_o colic_n in_o their_o bowel_n or_o the_o light_v flash_a in_o their_o face_n
