use_v for_o salvation_n a_o second_o instance_n be_v this_o that_o the_o gospel_n hold_v forth_o to_o sinner_n all_o the_o wrong_a way_n that_o they_o go_v and_o all_o the_o wrong_a mean_n that_o

love_n some_o beauty_n or_o bounty_n as_o we_o say_v but_o god_n see_v i_o to_o be_v wicked_a and_o sinful_a and_o therefore_o reason_n will_v think_v god_n must_v damn_v i_o world_n without_o end_n now_o the_o gospel_n come_v to_o such_o a_o sinner_n and_o tell_v he_o the_o case_n be_v otherwise_o it_o be_v not_o so_o poor_a sinful_a man_n or_o woman_n and_o though_o god_n hate_v sin_n above_o

these_o by_o the_o death_n of_o the_o lord_n jesus_n be_v remove_v then_o the_o gospel_n tell_v you_o that_o jesus_n christ_n as_o he_o die_v for_o our_o sin_n so_o he_o rise_v again_o for_o our_o

harsh_a thing_n that_o you_o shall_v find_v there_o you_o shall_v see_v clear_o that_o they_o be_v good_a thing_n and_o good_a news_n for_o a_o poor_a christian_n to_o have_v they_o set_v up_o over_o his_o soul_n as_o first_o of_o all_o you_o know_v that_o in_o the_o gospel_n reproof_n 1._o reproof_n the_o government_n or_o discipline_n call_v it_o which_o may_v you_o will_n we_o find_v in_o some_o case_n that_o the_o lord_n jesus_n will_v have_v we_o not_o only_a comfort_n and_o exhort_v and_o teach_v one_o another_o but_o in_o some_o case_n he_o will_v have_v we_o reprove_v one_o another_o reproof_n benefit_n of_o gospel_n reproof_n and_o have_v our_o minister_n reprove_v we_o also_o but_o in_o love_n and_o tenderness_n this_o be_v one_o of_o the_o harsh_a thing_n and_o this_o if_o you_o look_v right_a on_o it_o with_o a_o spiritual_a eye_n true_o it_o be_v glad_a tiding_n for_o a_o poor_a saint_n when_o he_o have_v forget_v himself_o by_o the_o violence_n of_o some_o

you_o find_v in_o experience_n that_o a_o sweet_a and_o wise_a reproof_n have_v be_v as_o please_v to_o you_o as_o any_o sermon_n of_o consolation_n that_o ever_o you_o hear_v and_o therefore_o you_o see_v in_o scripture_n how_o the_o lord_n set_v down_o reproof_n that_o you_o may_v not_o be_v afraid_a of_o it_o levit._n 19.17_o he_o tell_v you_o that_o reproof_n be_v a_o argument_n of_o love_n thou_o shall_v not_o hate_v thy_o brother_n in_o thy_o heart_n but_o rather_o reprove_v he_o it_o be_v a_o argument_n of_o love_n a_o man_n that_o reprove_v another_o wise_o and_o meek_o he_o love_v he_o for_o otherwise_o his_o poor_a soul_n be_v go_v in_o the_o way_n towards_o hell_n from_o god_n and_o fellowship_n with_o god_n go_v on_o in_o sin_n now_o a_o man_n that_o reprove_v he_o he_o
