god_n glory_n in_o save_v of_o soul_n than_o a●_n the_o first_o set_v we_o not_o before_o our_o eye_n the_o honour_n but_o the_o danger_n of_o our_o call_n and_o humble_a we_o ourselves_o under_o

that_o when_o a_o man_n be_v call_v thereunto_o it_o be_v a_o work_n little_o less_o than_o that_o whereby_o god_n call_v a_o sinner_n from_o his_o sin_n to_o the_o state_n of_o repentance_n for_o as_o god_n first_o cast_v down_o the_o sinner_n before_o he_o give_v he_o grace_n or_o any_o feel_n of_o his_o love_n in_o christ_n so_o here_o he_o first_o abase_v and_o cast_v down_o the_o prophet_n

for_o as_o a_o sinner_n in_o his_o conversion_n so_o he_o at_o his_o vocation_n to_o that_o place_n be_v often_o to_o cry_v out_o in_o the_o amazement_n of_o his_o soul_n woe_n be_v i_o i_o be_o

which_o think_v all_o outward_a compliment_n to_o be_v sufficient_a without_o this_o work_n which_o here_o be_v wrought_v in_o the_o holy_a prophet_n thus_o we_o see_v the_o fear_n and_o

by_o repentance_n can_v a_o man_n justify_v and_o sanctify_v say_v he_o be_v a_o man_n pollute_v i_o answer_v it_o be_v doubtless_o he_o be_v so_o he_o therefore_o complain_v here_o not_o of_o any_o great_a and_o enormous_a sin_n which_o he_o have_v commit_v to_o the_o public_a scandoll_n of_o the_o church_n but_o first_o of_o the_o corruption_n of_o his_o nature_n which_o in_o he_o as_o in_o

in_o the_o prophet_n when_o he_o be_v in_o the_o presence_n of_o the_o lord_n himself_o second_o he_o complain_v of_o some_o actual_a sin_n of_o his_o life_n and_o it_o be_v more_o likely_a of_o some_o sin_n of_o omission_n then_o of_o commission_n for_o we_o find_v not_o that_o the_o prophet_n be_v ever_o touch_v with_o any_o great_a sin_n and_o where_o we_o know_v it_o not_o we_o be_v in_o

it_o do_v jeremie_n the_o jew_n be_v so_o stubborn_a and_o stifnecked_a a_o people_n or_o it_o may_v be_v some_o want_n of_o zeal_n or_o forwardness_n these_o or_o some_o such_o be_v the_o cause_n of_o his_o fear_n and_o the_o conscience_n of_o ●●ese_n make_v he_o here_o cry_v out_o that_o he_o can_v stand_v in_o the_o sight_n of_o god_n where_o we_o le●r●e_v first_o what_o a_o tender_a
