reason_n wherefore_o he_o set_v this_o down_o be_v before_o show_v unto_o us._n as_o also_o we_o hear_v why_o he_o set_v down_o this_o sin_n rather_o than_o the_o sin_n of_o adultery_n be_v a_o sin_n of_o a_o high_a degree_n then_o it_o rest_v we_o gather_v what_o we_o learn_v hence_o which_o be_v in_o that_o he_o labour_v to_o dehort_v or_o draw_v they_o from_o this_o sin_n of_o fornication_n we_o learn_v that_o among_o other_o sin_n all_o that_o live_v in_o the_o church_n of_o god_n and_o sincere_o profess_v the_o gospel_n of_o jesus_n christ_n must_v labour_v by_o all_o mean_n to_o shun_v and_o avoid_v the_o sin_n of_o fornication_n adultery_n incest_n whoredom_n and_o all_o of_o that_o kind_n it_o be_v too_o true_a that_o many_o profess_v the_o gospel_n make_v a_o light_a account_n of_o fornication_n oh_o they_o take_v it_o but_o a_o trick_n of_o youth_n and_o it_o may_v be_v one_o reason_n of_o the_o apostle_n dehort_v or_o draw_v they_o from_o this_o sin_n be_v of_o like_a account_n among_o they_o but_o howsoever_o they_o or_o we_o make_v light_a account_n of_o it_o yet_o the_o holy_a ghost_n account_v it_o a_o grievous_a sin_n especial_o among_o such_o as_o profess_v the_o gospel_n for_o he_o speak_v not_o to_o atheist_n but_o to_o christian_n and_o such_o as_o have_v take_v on_o they_o the_o profession_n of_o christ_n jesus_n &_o his_o gospel_n so_o i_o know_v that_o i_o preach_v to_o such_o as_o profess_v christ_n and_o outward_o make_v a_o show_n of_o love_a both_o he_o and_o his_o word_n dehort_v and_o draw_v you_o from_o the_o sin_n of_o fornication_n be_v no_o small_a or_o light_a sin_n but_o a_o odious_a and_o grievous_a sin_n i_o tell_v you_o a_o man_n or_o woman_n that_o have_v give_v their_o name_n to_o christ_n and_o lay_v their_o hand_n to_o the_o plough_n of_o the_o gospel_n and_o yet_o live_v in_o fornication_n or_o adultery_n etc._n etc._n do_v live_v in_o a_o woeful_a and_o fearful_a estate_n and_o that_o this_o sin_n be_v a_o great_a sin_n special_o of_o professor_n we_o may_v see_v by_o the_o word_n of_o the_o apostle_n to_o the_o corinthian_n who_o say_v be_v not_o deceive_v 6.9_o 1._o cor._n 6.9_o

after_o no_o hour_n to_o obtain_v mercy_n and_o the_o reason_n hereof_o be_v special_o three_o reas_n 1_o the_o first_o take_v from_o god_n who_o because_o it_o proceed_v from_o his_o love_n to_o offer_v mercy_n it_o must_v needs_o stand_v with_o his_o justice_n to_o punish_v the_o wilful_a contempt_n of_o it_o with_o a_o perpetual_a denial_n of_o mercy_n reas_n 2_o the_o second_o from_o satan_n who_o by_o contemn_v and_o neglect_v the_o lord_n gracious_a offer_n of_o mercy_n get_v great_a advantage_n of_o we_o and_o hereby_o make_v a_o way_n for_o such_o sin_n as_o hardly_o in_o time_n we_o can_v repent_v we_o of_o reas_n 3_o the_o three_o be_v from_o the_o nature_n of_o this_o sin_n which_o hatch_v three_o horrible_a sin_n for_o delay_n breed_v custom_n custom_n breed_v security_n and_o security_n breed_v impenitency_n a_o drunkard_n we_o see_v be_v more_o easy_o reclaim_v from_o it_o at_o the_o first_o then_o when_o he_o have_v get_v a_o custom_n of_o it_o and_o hence_o be_v it_o the_o lord_n by_o his_o prophet_n do_v note_v it_o a_o thing_n impossible_a in_o respect_n of_o humane_a power_n to_o leave_v those_o sin_n which_o be_v customablie_o commit_v say_v can_v the_o blackmoore_n change_v his_o skin_n 13.23_o jer._n 13.23_o or_o the_o leopard_n his_o spot_n then_o may_v you_o also_o do_v good_a that_o be_v accustom_v to_o do_v evil_a oh_o belove_a let_v we_o take_v heed_n of_o despise_v the_o lord_n love_v and_o kind_a offer_n of_o mercy_n 2.12_o psalm_n 2.12_o lest_o he_o be_v angry_a and_o so_o we_o do_v perish_v in_o his_o wrath_n now_o let_v we_o come_v to_o the_o use_n of_o this_o doctrine_n use_v 1_o you_o can_v deny_v but_o the_o lord_n have_v long_a time_n offer_v condition_n of_o peace_n and_o that_o he_o have_v send_v we_o his_o servant_n early_o and_o late_o to_o call_v we_o to_o entreat_v we_o to_o be_v reconcile_v to_o he_o he_o have_v stand_v long_o at_o the_o door_n knock_v to_o be_v let_v in_o but_o what_o of_o all_o this_o have_v not_o custom_n of_o sin_n breed_v security_n and_o security_n impenitency_n so_o that_o it_o be_v to_o be_v fear_v the_o date_n of_o god_n mercy_n be_v near_o at_o a_o end_n how_o shall_v we_o try_v this_o look_v in_o the_o course_n of_o the_o scripture_n and_o you_o shall_v find_v it_o so_o when_o the_o lord_n have_v long_o continue_v the_o mean_n of_o salvation_n and_o the_o people_n little_a or_o nothing_o profit_n by_o it_o and_o how_o may_v this_o terrify_v we_o who_o have_v enjoy_v his_o word_n in_o peace_n at_o hand_n now_o of_o 50._o year_n and_o who_o see_v not_o the_o little_a or_o no_o profit_n be_v come_v thereof_o and_o that_o this_o be_v so_o will_v appear_v if_o we_o examine_v it_o by_o these_o two_o thing_n that_o will_v follow_v where_o the_o people_n do_v profit_n by_o the_o mean_n that_o be_v knowledge_n and_o reformation_n of_o life_n and_o first_o as_o touch_v knowledge_n come_v to_o many_o in_o this_o city_n who_o have_v live_v some_o 20._o some_o 30._o some_o these_o 40._o year_n yet_o be_v very_o ignorant_a even_o in_o the_o principle_n of_o religion_n you_o can_v say_v it_o may_v be_v god_n make_v you_o christ_n redeem_v you_o etc._n
