to_o come_v unto_o jesus_n christ_n to_o have_v his_o sin_n pardon_v to_o have_v the_o spirit_n give_v he_o to_o walk_v before_o god_n in_o all_o his_o way_n be_v in_o a_o unpardoned_a condition_n and_o so_o liable_a to_o all_o these_o curse_n now_o under_o the_o old_a testament_n god_n do_v more_o usual_o come_v forth_o in_o visible_a stroke_n of_o punishment_n upon_o outward_a mercy_n but_o under_o the_o new_a testament_n his_o judgement_n especial_o upon_o such_o as_o be_v under_o the_o gospel_n be_v more_o spiritual_a as_o blessing_n to_o his_o people_n run_v in_o a_o more_o

have_v his_o heart_n take_v up_o about_o it_o 3._o the_o person_n of_o a_o unpardoned_a sinner_n be_v hate_v of_o the_o lord_n therefore_o the_o weight_n of_o it_o be_v very_o great_a psal_n 5.5_o thou_o hate_v all_o worker_n of_o iniquity_n all_o be_v they_o what_o they_o will_v high_a or_o low_o rich_a or_o poor_a god_n hate_v they_o and_o while_o they_o be_v worker_n of_o iniquity_n they_o be_v certain_o unpardoned_a what_o they_o may_v be_v in_o the_o decree_n of_o god_n be_v nothing_o to_o that_o sinner_n in_o this_o condition_n while_o he_o be_v a_o worker_n of_o iniquity_n he_o have_v no_o ground_n for_o any_o other_o apprehension_n of_o god_n unless_o he_o turn_v in_o unto_o he_o now_o what_o a_o dreadful_a thing_n be_v it_o to_o be_v hate_v of_o that_o great_a and_o righteous_a god_n a_o drop_n of_o who_o wrath_n be_v able_a to_o scorch_v the_o soul_n with_o uspeakable_a torment_n yet_o such_o be_v the_o condition_n of_o a_o wretched_a unpardoned_a sinner_n
