we_o will_v labour_v to_o afflict_v our_o soul_n for_o our_o sin_n and_o sorrow_n for_o it_o we_o shall_v quick_o be_v rid_v of_o it_o use_v 1_o sith_o it_o be_v so_o that_o they_o that_o have_v true_o repent_v will_v not_o only_o have_v good_a purpose_n and_o motion_n but_o also_o good_a endeavour_n and_o good_a action_n it_o serve_v first_o for_o reproof_n of_o such_o person_n as_o will_v have_v god_n child_n to_o think_v that_o they_o have_v repent_v because_o they_o purpose_v to_o leave_v their_o sin_n they_o will_v say_v they_o have_v a_o purpose_n to_o forsake_v their_o

we_o conceive_v so_o well_o of_o you_o that_o you_o have_v repent_v because_o we_o purpose_v well_o it_o be_v true_a good_a motion_n be_v to_o be_v respect_v but_o if_o they_o do_v not_o bring_v forth_o good_a action_n they_o be_v no_o better_a than_o quaulme_n and_o passion_n that_o may_v be_v in_o very_o wicked_a man_n and_o hypocrite_n for_o if_o there_o be_v good_a desire_n in_o the_o

sin_n and_o he_o never_o come_v to_o godly_a sorrow_n for_o the_o same_o and_o therefore_o these_o be_v but_o passion_n which_o die_v before_o they_o bring_v forth_o good_a action_n judas_n also_o can_v come_v to_o this_o i_o have_v sin_v in_o betray_v innocent_a blood_n so_o far_o he_o go_v well_o but_o he_o can_v not_o come_v to_o repentance_n to_o crave_v pardon_n for_o have_v he_o repent_v he_o may_v have_v be_v pardon_v and_o if_o he_o can_v have_v believe_v he_o shall_v have_v be_v save_v but_o do_v neither_o he_o be_v damn_v such_o passion_n and_o quaulme_n have_v they_o which_o in_o all_o the_o haste_n will_v go_v and_o build_v upon_o christ_n they_o do_v not_o consider_v beforehand_o what_o charge_v it_o will_v amount_v unto_o and_o whether_o they_o be_v able_a to_o undertake_v so_o great_a a_o building_n 14.28.29_o luk._n 14.28.29_o and_o therefore_o have_v begin_v they_o can_v not_o proceed_v but_o leave_v off_o and_o be_v not_o able_a to_o finish_v it_o so_o many_o have_v sudden_a flashing_n and_o passion_n come_v into_o their_o mind_n to_o do_v good_a thing_n but_o not_o consider_v the_o danger_n nor_o charge_n that_o one_o must_v be_v at_o if_o they_o purpose_v to_o

prophet_n hosea_n compare_v to_o the_o morning_n dew_n 6.9_o hos_fw-la 6.9_o o_o ephraim_n what_o shall_v i_o do_v unto_o thou_o o_o judah_n how_o shall_v i_o entreat_v thou_o for_o your_o goodness_n be_v like_o the_o morning_n cloud_n and_o as_o the_o morning_n dew_n it_o go_v away_o that_o be_v as_o soon_o as_o the_o sun_n arise_v and_o show_v forth_o his_o beam_n of_o light_n it_o lick_v up_o

many_o may_v have_v and_o yet_o be_v very_o sinful_a and_o wicked_a many_o have_v these_o flashing_n when_o they_o come_v to_o the_o sacrament_n and_o will_v have_v these_o purpose_n to_o leave_v their_o covetousness_n their_o swear_n sabbath_n break_v and_o all_o their_o know_a and_o notorious_a sin_n and_o they_o will_v also_o purpose_v to_o pray_v more_o frequent_a the_o exercise_n of_o religion_n more_o and_o they_o will_v amend_v many_o disorder_n which_o be_v amiss_o if_o it_o may_v be_v all_o remedy_v with_o thought_n and_o purpose_n but_o after_o the_o sacrament_n they_o be_v as_o profane_v and_o sinful_a as_o ever_o they_o be_v before_o and_o be_v never_o a_o whit_n the_o better_a in_o practice_n and_o conversation_n oh_o before_o they_o go_v to_o the_o sacrament_n they_o will_v purpose_v to_o make_v satisfaction_n to_o such_o who_o they_o have_v wrong_v and_o to_o live_v as_o friend_n with_o they_o which_o in_o time_n past_a they_o have_v much_o grieve_v but_o let_v the_o sacrament_n be_v past_a there_o be_v no_o more_o hear_n of_o satisfaction_n nor_o acknowledgement_n of_o injury_n and_o wrong_n offer_v yet_o we_o shall_v have_v these_o unconstant_a man_n persuade_v themselves_o they_o have_v repent_v &_o will_v have_v other_o so_o to_o think_v and_o reckon_v of_o they_o but_o such_o must_v know_v that_o they_o have_v not_o yet_o repent_v till_o these_o motion_n and_o purpose_n conceive_v bring_v forth_o good_a action_n in_o life_n to_o be_v practise_v second_o it_o serve_v for_o instruction_n that_o see_v true_a repentance_n stand_v in_o resolve_v and_o do_v therefore_o if_o ever_o we_o will_v have_v any_o sound_a comfort_n to_o our_o soul_n and_o conscience_n whensoever_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n have_v put_v into_o our_o heart_n good_a motion_n and_o good_a affection_n let_v we_o follow_v they_o hard_o to_o bring_v they_o to_o perfection_n and_o then_o we_o shall_v be_v bless_v in_o the_o work_n as_o the_o apostle_n james_n speak_v let_v we_o labour_n to_o do_v that_o which_o barnabas_n exhort_v the_o faithful_a brethren_n at_o antiochia_n that_o with_o purpose_n of_o heart_n they_o shall_v continue_v in_o the_o lord_n so_o let_v we_o with_o all_o purpose_n of_o heart_n resolve_v to_o leave_v our_o sin_n and_o to_o practice_v holy_a and_o good_a duty_n let_v we_o be_v like_a unto_o this_o prodigal_a child_n which_o do_v purpose_n and_o practice_v and_o so_o we_o shall_v have_v a_o good_a testimony_n to_o our_o heart_n that_o we_o have_v repent_v oh_o but_o i_o can_v no_o soon_o have_v a_o good_a motion_n come_v into_o my_o heart_n but_o satan_n be_v ready_a to_o steal_v it_o out_o and_o my_o own_o corruption_n to_o extinguish_v it_o before_o i_o can_v bring_v it_o forth_o to_o action_n but_o labour_n to_o put_v in_o practice_n these_o rule_n which_o by_o god_n grace_n may_v help_v thou_o to_o cherish_v good_a motion_n &_o further_o they_o that_o they_o come_v out_o to_o practice_v in_o thy_o life_n and_o conversation_n first_o if_o we_o will_v have_v our_o good_a desire_n to_o come_v to_o good_a deed_n we_o must_v labour_v to_o come_v to_o sound_v and_o thorough_a sorrow_n of_o heart_n for_o sin_n past_a and_o let_v we_o pluck_v the_o root_n of_o sin_n up_o by_o the_o weed_n hook_n of_o godly_a sorrow_n and_o then_o we_o shall_v bring_v forth_o good_a action_n and_o therefore_o the_o apostle_n james_n in_o the_o place_n before_o allege_v exhort_v his_o hearer_n to_o purge_v their_o heart_n by_o godly_a sorrow_n for_o it_o will_v break_v the_o cord_n of_o sin_n and_o kill_v it_o by_o degree_n and_o to_o the_o intent_n that_o we_o may_v sorrow_n for_o sin_n let_v we_o be_v frequent_a in_o meditate_v of_o what_o sin_n will_v have_v do_v to_o we_o namely_o have_v kill_v we_o for_o the_o wage_n of_o sin_n be_v death_n and_o expose_v we_o to_o the_o everlasting_a wrath_n of_o god_n also_o consider_v that_o our_o sin_n kill_v jesus_n christ_n the_o lord_n of_o life_n they_o be_v the_o murderer_n and_o betrayer_n of_o this_o just_a one_o and_o whatsoever_o woe_n or_o misery_n have_v or_o can_v befall_v we_o in_o this_o present_a life_n be_v the_o effect_n of_o these_o our_o sin_n thus_o serious_o ponder_v of_o these_o thing_n it_o will_v procure_v godly_a sorrow_n for_o sin_n which_o godly_a sorrow_n will_v produce_v good_a action_n from_o good_a motion_n second_o we_o must_v bring_v good_a reason_n and_o argument_n against_o our_o corruption_n and_o satan_n temptation_n for_o if_o we_o fall_v out_o with_o the_o devil_n and_o we_o have_v not_o better_a argument_n to_o stand_v for_o good_a duty_n than_o he_o have_v against_o they_o we_o shall_v not_o be_v able_a to_o hold_v out_o for_o if_o saul_n can_v have_v have_v good_a argument_n and_o reason_n when_o he_o pursue_v and_o fight_v against_o david_n if_o he_o can_v have_v consider_v sure_o in_o fight_v against_o david_n i_o fight_v against_o my_o best_a friend_n and_o my_o faithful_a subject_n yea_o in_o so_o do_v i_o shall_v fight_v against_o god_n and_o my_o own_o salvation_n etc._n etc._n then_o he_o will_v never_o have_v follow_v he_o with_o such_o a_o deadly_a malice_n job_n that_o faithful_a servant_n of_o god_n he_o have_v
of_o pollute_a lip_n and_o i_o dwell_v in_o the_o midst_n of_o people_n of_o pollute_a lip_n where_o god_n appear_v unto_o the_o prophet_n and_o his_o majesty_n be_v so_o perfect_a that_o it_o

of_o god_n very_o faithful_o so_o in_o truth_n when_o we_o come_v to_o see_v the_o multitude_n of_o our_o sin_n and_o the_o hainousenes_n thereof_o we_o shall_v be_v make_v quick_o low_a enough_o and_o be_v force_v to_o cry_v out_o with_o the_o prodigal_a child_n i_o be_o not_o worthy_a to_o be_v call_v thy_o son_n sith_o it_o be_v so_o that_o true_a repentance_n make_v we_o see_v our_o own_o unworthines_n use_v 1_o it_o serve_v first_o for_o reproof_n of_o such_o person_n which_o stand_v upon_o their_o own_o worthiness_n and_o goodness_n they_o will_v say_v they_o hope_v they_o be_v in_o

etc._n etc._n but_o i_o do_v this_o and_o this_o and_o thus_o boast_v himself_o of_o his_o own_o goodness_n he_o show_v himself_o a_o most_o curse_a person_n but_o the_o poor_a publican_n stand_v

say_v o_o lord_n be_v merciful_a unto_o i_o a_o sinner_n i_o tell_v you_o this_o man_n depart_v to_o his_o house_n justify_v rather_o than_o the_o other_o thus_o we_o see_v the_o estate_n of_o these_o

receive_v at_o god_n hand_n whatsoever_o he_o stand_v in_o need_n of_o that_o repentance_n will_v get_v any_o thing_n at_o god_n hand_n not_o only_o for_o necessity_n but_o also_o something_o for_o delight_n this_o may_v be_v prove_v by_o the_o word_n which_o christ_n speak_v to_o the_o church_n of_o laodicea_n she_o boast_v of_o her_o plenty_n when_o as_o she_o be_v full_a of_o penury_n sheee_o

and_o if_o she_o will_v receive_v his_o council_n he_o will_v deck_v she_o with_o the_o rich_a jewel_n and_o therefore_o he_o say_v 3.17.18_o reu._n 3.17.18_o i_o council_n thou_o to_o buy_v of_o i_o

hide_v all_o our_o filthiness_n with_o the_o kingly_a robe_n and_o shine_a garment_n of_o christ_n and_o he_o will_v not_o content_v himself_o to_o give_v he_o a_o robe_n but_o he_o will_v also_o put_v a_o ring_n upon_o his_o hand_n for_o ornament_n so_o the_o lord_n will_v deck_v and_o adorn_v every_o true_a repentant_a sinner_n with_o the_o comely_a grace_n and_o virtue_n of_o his_o spirit_n and_o whereas_o he_o come_v barefooted_a and_o surbate_z with_o travel_n he_o put_v shoe_n upon_o his_o foot_n so_o the_o lord_n when_o one_o come_v to_o he_o by_o true_a repentance_n he_o will_v
