will_v not_o believe_v those_o thing_n thant_a be_v speak_v and_o prove_v unto_o they_o out_o of_o the_o word_n of_o god_n this_o be_v it_o y_o it_o vomit_v up_o all_o good_a thing_n and_o poyson_v the_o very_a entrails_n of_o a_o man_n &_o keep_v all_o good_a grace_n from_o us._n as_o appear_v math._n 13._o 58._o he_o do_v not_o many_o great_a work_v there_o for_o their_o unbeleefe_n sake_n and_o the_o 4._o to_o the_o hebrews_n it_o be_v say_v unto_o we_o be_v the_o gospel_n preach_v as_o also_o unto_o they_o but_o the_o word_n that_o they_o hear_v profit_v not_o they_o because_o it_o be_v not_o mix_v with_o faith_n in_o those_o that_o hear_v it_o so_o that_o here_o we_o may_v see_v although_o we_o hear_v never_o so_o much_o yet_o if_o we_o bring_v not_o faith_n with_o we_o we_o shall_v never_o profit_v unto_o repentance_n for_o unbelief_n take_v up_o our_o heart_n for_o satan_n and_o refuse_v all_o the_o wholesome_a doctrine_n of_o salvation_n and_o do_v so_o harden_v they_o in_o the_o way_n of_o sin_n that_o in_o the_o end_n they_o become_v past_a feel_n and_o can_v be_v touch_v one_o whit_n either_o with_o the_o judgement_n or_o mercy_n of_o god_n but_o count_v the_o one_o as_o blast_n of_o wind_n and_o make_v the_o other_o a_o covert_n for_o their_o filthiness_n you_o shall_v note_v some_o man_n who_o when_o they_o have_v hear_v their_o sin_n straight_o rip_v up_o by_o the_o word_n of_o god_n and_o their_o just_a damnation_n prove_v by_o the_o same_o without_o speedy_a &_o earnest_a repentance_n will_v break_v out_o into_o these_o word_n of_o unbeléef_n if_o it_o be_v as_o the_o say_v god_n help_v we_o i_o hope_v it_o be_v not_o so_o i_o trust_v i_o shall_v do_v well_o enough_o for_o all_o this_o as_o long_o as_o i_o have_v a_o good_a faith_n in_o god_n and_o do_v in_o body_n no_o harm_n shall_v i_o leave_v my_o pleasure_n and_o my_o profit_n for_o their_o say_n what_o do_v they_o think_v none_o be_v save_v but_o such_o as_o read_v the_o scripture_n and_o hear_v sermon_n god_n forbid_v but_o those_o which_o do_v not_o go_v to_o hear_v sermon_n shall_v be_v save_v as_o well_o as_o they_o why_o may_v not_o one_o serve_v god_n as_o well_o at_o home_n in_o his_o house_n have_v good_a book_n and_o good_a prayer_n as_o by_o come_v to_o the_o church_n to_o hear_v sermon_n and_o service_n alas_o these_o man_n stand_v too_o much_o in_o their_o own_o light_n and_o betray_v what_o folly_n and_o ignoranc●_n be_v in_o they_o for_o they_o do_v think_v to_o be_v save_v by_o any_o other_o mean_v they_o god_n have_v appoint_v or_o when_o god_n have_v avouch_v any_o thing_n in_o his_o word_n will_v they_o accept_v against_o it_o &_o so_o make_v god_n a_o liar_n when_o god_n have_v once_o set_v down_o a_o thing_n and_o prove_v it_o to_o their_o face_n will_v they_o yet_o reply_v when_o god_n have_v tell_v we_o that_o the_o preach_n of_o the_o word_n be_v the_o ordinary_a mean_n of_o our_o salvation_n shall_v we_o hope_v to_o be_v save_v although_o we_o contemn_v it_o and_o never_o or_o very_o seldom_o hear_v it_o be_v not_o this_o plain_a infidelity_n &_o unbelief_n that_o when_o god_n say_v one_o thing_n we_o will_v say_v another_o when_o god_n say_v yea_o we_o will_v say_v no_o i_o hope_v not_o so_o yes_o sure_o that_o be_v it_o that_o stop_v the_o way_n unto_o god_n grace_n and_o bar_v we_o out_o from_o repentance_n the_o second_o let_n be_v the_o presumption_n of_o god_n mercy_n for_o if_o man_n be_v sharp_o reproove_v for_o their_o sin_n and_o exhort_v unto_o repentance_n by_o &_o by_o they_o take_v covert_a say_v god_n be_v merciful_a god_n be_v merciful_a as_o though_o god_n be_v make_v all_o of_o mercy_n and_o that_o there_o be_v no_o justice_n in_o he_o at_o all_o and_o thus_o the_o wicked_a make_v god_n mercy_n a_o occasion_n to_o sin_n which_o thing_n the_o prophet_n nahum_n in_o the_o first_o of_o his_o prophecy_n do_v sharp_o reprove_v the_o lord_n say_v he_o be_v slow_a to_o

will_v here_o pass_v it_o over_o will_v you_o to_o note_v it_o as_o one_o special_a let_v unto_o repentance_n the_o three_o hindrance_n be_v the_o example_n of_o the_o multitude_n for_o that_o do_v harden_v &_o embolden_v man_n unto_o sin_n as_o when_o many_o bird_n flicker_v and_o flock_n together_o they_o fall_v upon_o the_o net_n without_o any_o fear_n but_o one_o or_o two_o alone_o be_v
