partial_a and_o unequal_a be_v we_o to_o hope_v so_o easy_o to_o be_v forgive_v and_o yet_o to_o be_v so_o hard_a to_o forgive_v will_v we_o have_v god_n for_o christ_n sake_n to_o forgive_v we_o those_o numberless_a and_o monstrous_a provocation_n which_o we_o have_v be_v guilty_a of_o against_o his_o divine_a majesty_n and_o shall_v we_o not_o for_o his_o sake_n for_o who_o sake_n we_o ourselves_o be_v forgive_v be_v willing_a to_o forgive_v one_o another_o we_o think_v it_o hard_o to_o be_v oblige_v to_o forgive_v great_a injury_n and_o often_o repeat_v and_o yet_o woe_n be_v to_o we_o all_o and_o most_o miserable_a shall_v we_o be_v to_o all_o eternity_n if_o god_n do_v not_o all_o this_o to_o we_o which_o we_o think_v to_o be_v so_o very_o hard_a and_o unreasonable_a for_o we_o to_o do_v to_o one_o another_o i_o have_v sometime_o wonder_v how_o it_o shall_v come_v to_o pass_v that_o so_o many_o person_n shall_v be_v so_o apt_a to_o despair_v of_o the_o mercy_n and_o forgiveness_n of_o god_n to_o they_o especial_o consider_v what_o clear_a and_o express_v declaration_n god_n have_v make_v of_o his_o readiness_n to_o forgive_v our_o great_a sin_n and_o provocation_n upon_o our_o sincere_a repentance_n but_o the_o wonder_n will_v be_v very_o much_o abate_v when_o we_o shall_v consider_v with_o how_o much_o difficulty_n man_n be_v bring_v to_o remit_v great_a injury_n and_o how_o hardly_o we_o be_v persuade_v to_o refrain_v from_o fly_v upon_o those_o who_o have_v give_v we_o any_o considerable_a provocation_n so_o that_o when_o man_n look_v into_o themselves_o and_o shall_v careful_o observe_v the_o motion_n of_o their_o own_o mind_n towards_o those_o against_o who_o they_o have_v be_v just_o exasperate_v they_o will_v see_v but_o too_o much_o reason_n to_o think_v that_o forgiveness_n be_v no_o such_o easy_a matter_n but_o our_o comfort_n in_o this_o case_n be_v that_o god_n be_v not_o as_o man_n that_o his_o way_n be_v not_o as_o our_o way_n nor_o his_o thought_n as_o our_o thought_n but_o as_o the_o heaven_n be_v high_a above_o the_o earth_n so_o be_v his_o way_n above_o our_o way_n and_o his_o thought_n above_o our_o thought_n and_o the_o best_a way_n to_o keep_v ourselves_o from_o despair_v of_o god_n mercy_n and_o forgiveness_n to_o we_o be_v to_o be_v easy_a to_o grant_v forgiveness_n to_o other_o and_o without_o this_o as_o god_n have_v reason_n to_o deny_v forgiveness_n to_o we_o so_o we_o ourselves_o have_v all_o the_o reason_n in_o the_o world_n utter_o to_o despair_v of_o it_o it_o will_v almost_o transport_v
