no_o set_v off_o of_o any_o sin_n for_o some_o singular_a good_a work_n before_o do_v the_o sin_n that_o he_o have_v commit_v do_v extinguish_v the_o light_n of_o all_o his_o former_a righteousness_n as_o if_o it_o have_v never_o be_v but_o when_o the_o righteous_a turn_v away_o from_o 24._o his_o righteousness_n and_o commit_v iniquity_n all_o his_o righteousness_n that_o he_o have_v do_v shall_v not_o be_v mention_v the_o 10._o pharisee_n may_v have_v pass_v with_o we_o for_o a_o devout_a and_o a_o holy_a man_n if_o christ_n have_v not_o detest_v he_o 1_o he_o go_v up_o to_o the_o temple_n

for_o any_o thing_n i_o can_v discern_v may_v have_v pass_v for_o a_o holy_a man_n if_o christ_n himself_o have_v not_o detect_v he_o i_o tell_v you_o this_o man_n go_v down_o to_o his_o house_n yet_o observe_v the_o text_n he_o go_v justify_v more_o than_o the_o other_o the_o other_o not_o altogether_o unjustified_a 2_o this_o direct_v i_o in_o the_o deduction_n of_o a_o second_o conclusion_n that_o a_o break_a and_o a_o contrite_a heart_n for_o sin_n be_v as_o safe_a rest_n for_o the_o soul_n as_o the_o conscience_n of_o a_o good_a life_n this_o appear_v in_o the_o direction_n between_o

our_o contrite_a and_o break_a spirit_n none_o can_v heal_v but_o god_n only_o and_o because_o it_o be_v his_o sacrifice_n he_o will_v not_o despise_v it_o in_o all_o the_o example_n of_o repentance_n abovementioned_a we_o see_v how_o firm_o the_o penitent_n stand_v upon_o that_o ground_n for_o that_o put_v away_o all_o their_o former_a sin_n and_o establish_v they_o in_o the_o good_a favour_n of_o god_n therefore_o david_n have_v this_o sacrifice_n ready_a and_o now_o tender_v the_o same_o to_o his_o god_n do_v cease_v further_a solicit_v of_o god_n for_o himself_o and_o begin_v as_o one_o
