the_o precious_a blood_n of_o the_o son_n of_o god_n such_o as_o our_o saviour_n must_v die_v for_o or_o our_o soul_n must_v have_v suffer_v for_o to_o all_o eternity_n how_o different_a therefore_o be_v our_o thought_n from_o god_n we_o think_v it_o a_o matter_n of_o sport_n and_o laughter_n a_o thing_n to_o play_n and_o make_v merry_a with_o but_o god_n who_o know_v the_o inmost_a nature_n of_o thing_n look_n upon_o it_o as_o a_o thing_n of_o such_o a_o black_a and_o horrid_a nature_n as_o that_o nothing_o but_o the_o blood_n of_o our_o soul_n or_o the_o blood_n of_o his_o son_n can_v make_v expiation_n for_o o_o bless_a god_n have_v we_o but_o such_o thought_n of_o our_o sin_n as_o thou_o have_v how_o shall_v we_o start_v and_o tremble_v at_o the_o sight_n of_o they_o and_o with_o what_o horror_n and_o amazement_n shall_v we_o reflect_v upon_o they_o sure_o if_o all_o the_o devil_n in_o hell_n shall_v stand_v round_o about_o we_o in_o the_o most_o ghastly_a shape_v and_o apparition_n it_o will_v not_o put_v we_o into_o half_a that_o agony_n of_o fear_n as_o will_v the_o sense_n and_o remembrance_n of_o our_o own_o guilt_n and_o folly_n for_o have_v we_o but_o a_o window_n into_o hell_n to_o look_v through_o and_o see_v what_o unsufferable_a torment_v the_o damn_a ghost_n undergo_v there_o for_o those_o sin_n we_o make_v so_o light_a of_o how_o they_o burn_v and_o roar_v in_o those_o flame_n of_o lust_n about_o which_o we_o like_v silly_a fly_n do_v sport_n and_o dally_v or_o have_v we_o but_o the_o cross_n always_o stand_v before_o our_o eye_n with_o the_o son_n of_o god_n hang_v on_o it_o for_o those_o sin_n that_o be_v our_o recreation_n sigh_v and_o groan_v out_o his_o innocent_a soul_n in_o torment_n and_o agony_n to_o expiate_v those_o fault_n which_o we_o commit_v with_o so_o much_o greediness_n and_o pleasure_n sure_o either_o of_o these_o sad_a spectacle_n will_v be_v sufficient_a to_o cool_v our_o courage_n and_o to_o make_v we_o afraid_a of_o ever_o sin_v more_a why_o then_o shall_v not_o our_o belief_n of_o these_o thing_n have_v the_o same_o effect_n upon_o we_o as_o the_o sight_n and_o sense_n of_o they_o must_v needs_o be_v suppose_v to_o have_v o_o my_o soul_n why_o shall_v i_o be_v so_o mad_a as_o to_o hug_v and_o embrace_v my_o lust_n any_o long_o when_o i_o believe_v the_o evil_a of_o they_o to_o be_v so_o great_a as_o that_o the_o merciful_a father_n will_v never_o have_v forgive_v they_o have_v not_o his_o own_o most_o bless_a son_n bear_v their_o punishment_n and_o free_o submit_v himself_o to_o suffer_v for_o they_o in_o my_o stead_n yea_o and_o which_o i_o very_o believe_v he_o will_v never_o pardon_v yet_o unless_o i_o hearty_o repent_v of_o and_o forsake_v they_o but_o notwithstanding_o all_o that_o his_o son_n have_v suffer_v to_o make_v expiation_n for_o they_o will_v yet_o pursue_v and_o prosecute_v they_o with_o the_o most_o direful_a effect_n of_o a_o endless_a and_o omnipotent_a vengeance_n 2_o lie_v hence_o i_o infer_v the_o certainty_n of_o our_o perish_v for_o ever_o if_o we_o do_v not_o repent_v of_o our_o sin_n and_o forsake_v they_o for_o if_o god_n will_v not_o have_v forgive_v they_o upon_o our_o repentance_n unless_o a_o expiation_n have_v be_v make_v for_o they_o by_o the_o blood_n of_o his_o son_n how_o can_v we_o imagine_v that_o he_o will_v now_o forgive_v they_o whether_o we_o repent_v of_o they_o or_o no_o when_o all_o that_o can_v be_v obtain_v for_o we_o from_o our_o offend_a god_n by_o the_o vocal_a blood_n and_o wound_n of_o his_o own_o son_n who_o language_n be_v a_o thousand_o time_n more_o effectual_a for_o we_o than_o all_o the_o rhetoric_n of_o angel_n can_v have_v be_v be_v only_o this_o that_o if_o yet_o we_o will_v hearty_o repent_v and_o amend_v we_o shall_v certain_o find_v mercy_n and_o favour_n at_o his_o hand_n can_v we_o be_v so_o assure_v as_o to_o hope_v for_o any_o more_o be_v it_o likely_a that_o our_o obstinate_a continuance_n in_o wilful_a rebellion_n against_o he_o shall_v be_v a_o more_o prevalent_a advocate_n for_o we_o than_o the_o most_o eloquent_a blood_n of_o that_o innocent_a lamb_n which_o speak_v better_a thing_n for_o we_o than_o the_o blood_n of_o abel_n will_v he_o be_v more_o indulgent_a to_o our_o sin_n than_o he_o be_v to_o the_o obedient_a suffering_n of_o his_o own_o son_n who_o blood_n cry_v mercy_n mercy_n with_o a_o voice_n more_o move_v and_o persuasive_a than_o the_o unite_a prayer_n of_o a_o world_n of_o sinful_a creature_n can_v have_v do_v though_o they_o have_v be_v wash_v in_o flood_n of_o penitent_a tear_n let_v we_o not_o therefore_o be_v so_o fond_a as_o to_o presume_v that_o when_o the_o utmost_a that_o god_n will_v grant_v we_o for_o his_o own_o dear_a son_n sake_n be_v to_o receive_v we_o to_o mercy_n upon_o our_o unfeigned_a repentance_n he_o will_v now_o for_o our_o own_o sake_n pardon_v we_o whether_o we_o repent_v or_o no._n and_o since_o at_o the_o powerful_a entreaty_n of_o the_o blood_n of_o jesus_n he_o have_v indulge_v to_o we_o as_o much_o mercy_n as_o be_v fit_a for_o he_o to_o grant_v and_o much_o more_o than_o we_o can_v ever_o have_v hope_v for_o let_v we_o not_o be_v so_o immodest_a as_o to_o expect_v any_o far_a but_o fix_v this_o as_o a_o eternal_a verity_n in_o our_o own_o mind_n that_o either_o our_o sin_n or_o our_o soul_n must_v perish_v and_o than_o if_o after_o all_o that_o he_o have_v do_v for_o we_o we_o will_v continue_v wicked_a there_o be_v no_o remedy_n but_o we_o must_v be_v miserable_a for_o ever_o 3_o dly_z and_o last_o hence_o also_o i_o infer_v how_o inexcusable_a we_o be_v if_o we_o now_o perish_v in_o our_o sin_n now_o god_n have_v do_v such_o great_a thing_n for_o we_o and_o contrive_v such_o a_o excellent_a way_n to_o pardon_v we_o so_o that_o now_o there_o can_v be_v nothing_o want_v to_o the_o accomplishment_n of_o our_o pardon_n but_o only_o our_o own_o repentance_n and_o reformation_n for_o god_n and_o our_o saviour_n have_v do_v all_o that_o be_v to_o be_v do_v on_o their_o part_n our_o saviour_n have_v suffer_v for_o we_o and_o god_n have_v accept_v it_o as_o a_o expiation_n for_o our_o sin_n and_o now_o the_o whole_a matter_n stick_v at_o we_o and_o there_o be_v nothing_o want_v but_o only_o our_o repentance_n and_o if_o we_o will_v not_o repent_v and_o thereby_o entitle_v ourselves_o to_o that_o merciful_a pardon_n which_o god_n and_o our_o saviour_n have_v prepare_v for_o we_o there_o be_v none_o can_v be_v blame_v for_o our_o ruin_n but_o ourselves_o for_o when_o inquisition_n shall_v be_v make_v for_o the_o blood_n of_o our_o soul_n the_o only_a cause_n of_o our_o ruin_n will_v be_v find_v to_o be_v this_o that_o we_o be_v wilful_o and_o obstinate_o impenitent_a what_o then_o shall_v we_o be_v able_a to_o say_v for_o our_o self_n when_o we_o come_v to_o plead_v for_o our_o life_n at_o the_o tribunal_n of_o god_n shall_v we_o plead_v that_o our_o condition_n be_v hopeless_a and_o desperate_a we_o be_v bind_v over_o for_o our_o past_a sin_n to_o a_o irrevocable_a damnation_n alas_o with_o what_o confidence_n can_v we_o plead_v this_o when_o god_n have_v be_v so_o merciful_a as_o not_o to_o exact_v of_o our_o own_o person_n the_o penalty_n which_o his_o law_n have_v denounce_v against_o we_o but_o gracious_o admit_v another_o to_o suffer_v for_o we_o and_o upon_o his_o suffering_n promise_v to_o forgive_v we_o if_o we_o will_v hearty_o repent_v or_o can_v we_o pretend_v that_o by_o this_o gracious_a indulgence_n of_o his_o he_o encourage_v we_o to_o sin_n on_o and_o give_v we_o reason_n to_o hope_v that_o he_o who_o without_o our_o repentance_n have_v remit_v so_o much_o of_o the_o severity_n of_o his_o law_n as_o to_o admit_v another_o to_o suffer_v in_o our_o stead_n may_v as_o easy_o be_v induce_v to_o remit_v all_o whether_o ever_o we_o repent_v or_o no_o why_o how_o can_v he_o have_v more_o effectua_o discourage_v we_o from_o sin_v on_o when_o he_o will_v admit_v of_o no_o less_o suffer_v but_o what_o consider_v the_o greatness_n of_o the_o person_n who_o undergo_v it_o be_v as_o dreadful_a a_o example_n of_o his_o severity_n against_o sin_n as_o if_o he_o have_v damn_v for_o ever_o a_o whole_a world_n of_o sinner_n or_o will_v you_o urge_v that_o you_o think_v it_o in_o vain_a to_o return_v since_o by_o your_o former_a sin_n you_o have_v for_o ever_o forfeit_v the_o favour_n of_o god_n for_o though_o there_o be_v some_o hope_n that_o he_o may_v be_v entreat_v to_o pardon_v or_o remit_v your_o punishment_n yet_o it_o be_v in_o vain_a to_o hope_v that_o after_o so_o many_o provocation_n he_o will_v ever_o be_v thorough_o reconcile_v again_o
