only_a form_n self-love_n but_o from_o the_o love_n of_o god_n and_o christ_n and_o holiness_n now_o do_v we_o grieve_v for_o sin_n not_o only_o out_o of_o a_o sight_n and_o sense_n of_o the_o danger_n but_o also_o of_o the_o filthiness_n and_o odiousness_n of_o it_o as_o contrary_a to_o the_o holy_a nature_n and_o righteous_a law_n of_o god_n do_v we_o indeed_o grieve_v for_o sin_n as_o sin_n more_o particular_o 1._o do_v we_o mourn_v for_o sin_n as_o a_o breach_n of_o god_n holy_a law_n as_o it_o be_v a_o thing_n forbid_v and_o not_o only_o as_o it_o have_v set_v we_o under_o the_o threaten_n of_o the_o law_n do_v we_o hearty_o approve_v of_o the_o law_n of_o god_n as_o holy_a just_a and_o good_a do_v we_o delight_v in_o the_o law_n of_o god_n in_o the_o inner_a man_n be_v it_o our_o earnest_a desire_n that_o our_o heart_n and_o life_n be_v in_o all_o thing_n conform_v to_o it_o and_o our_o great_a grief_n to_o find_v the_o contrary_a many_o that_o sometime_o have_v storm_n

to_o think_v how_o we_o have_v grieve_v his_o spirit_n be_v it_o the_o burden_n of_o our_o soul_n to_o think_v how_o he_o be_v press_v under_o our_o sin_n how_o we_o have_v weary_v he_o with_o our_o iniquity_n it_o be_v nothing_o for_o we_o to_o be_v trouble_v when_o god_n afflict_v and_o put_v we_o to_o grief_n a_o slave_n will_v roar_v and_o cry_v out_o under_o the_o lash_n but_o a_o

up_o in_o despair_n the_o law_n discover_v sin_n and_o wrath_n display_v god_n holiness_n and_o punitive_a justice_n may_v in_o one_o sense_n break_v the_o heart_n of_o a_o sinner_n but_o it_o be_v the_o gospel_n reveal_v god_n free_a and_o infinite_a grace_n and_o mercy_n in_o jesus_n christ_n his_o willingness_n and_o readiness_n to_o pardon_v and_o to_o be_v reconcile_v to_o sinner_n that_o

the_o unrighteous_a man_n his_o thought_n and_o let_v he_o return_v unto_o the_o lord_n and_o he_o will_v have_v mercy_n on_o he_o and_o to_o our_o god_n for_o he_o will_v abundant_o pardon_v when_o thus_o a_o man_n have_v his_o heart_n relent_v it_o be_v kind_o when_o the_o thought_n of_o god_n goodness_n of_o his_o gracious_a nature_n and_o his_o gracious_a offer_n cause_v a_o man_n to_o
