best_a and_o most_o effectual_a way_n to_o mortify_v the_o power_n of_o indwelling_a sinew_n be_v right_o to_o consider_v how_o free_a absolute_a and_o unconditionall_a god_n grace_n be_v in_o

a_o considerate_a and_o fix_a belief_n of_o this_o be_v the_o best_a way_n to_o mortify_v the_o power_n of_o indwelling_a sinne._n 3c_o that_o a_o believer_n must_v never_o think_v he_o have_v

that_o god_n grace_n in_o pardon_v sin_n be_v absolute_a free_a and_o unconditionall_a i_o mean_v respect_v nothing_o in_o require_v nothing_o from_o the_o creature_n as_o that_o which_o may_v merit_v and_o deserve_v such_o favour_n thus_o all_o the_o promise_v run_v i_o will_v take_v they_o say_v god_n speak_v of_o the_o new_a covenant_n or_o gospell-time_n to_o be_v my_o people_n and_o i_o will_v be_v their_o god_n 31.33_o jer._n 31.33_o for_o i_o will_v forgive_v their_o iniquity_n and_o i_o will_v remember_v their_o sin_n no_o more_o so_o speak_v of_o the_o same_o covenant_n by_o the_o prophet_n ezekiell_n 36.25_o ezek._n 36.25_o i_o will_v say_v he_o sprinkle_v clean_a water_n upon_o you_o and_o from_o all_o your_o filthiness_n will_v i_o cleanse_v you_o which_o gracious_a

lord_n take_v away_o all_o iniquity_n and_o receive_v we_o gracious_o to_o which_o god_n present_o reply_v 4._o vers_fw-la 4._o i_o will_v heal_v their_o backslide_n i_o will_v love_v they_o free_o but_o beside_o what_o may_v be_v deduce_v from_o the_o whole_a tenor_n and_o current_n of_o scripture-promises_a this_o will_v yet_o far_o appear_v from_o these_o three_o consideration_n reason_n 1_o first_o from_o the_o nature_n of_o god_n who_o pardon_v sin_n who_o can_v be_v move_v or_o alter_v by_o any_o condition_n in_o the_o creature_n since_o he_o himself_o be_v the_o sole_a author_n and_o bestower_n of_o whatever_o good_a condition_n the_o creature_n be_v able_a to_o perform_v for_o according_a to_o the_o question_n of_o the_o apostle_n paul_n 11.33_o rom._n 11.33_o who_o have_v first_o give_v unto_o he_o and_o it_o shall_v be_v recompense_v to_o he_o again_o or_o as_o the_o word_n be_v in_o job_n from_o whence_o the_o apostle_n take_v they_o 41.11_o job_n 41.11_o who_o have_v prevent_v i_o sc_n by_o do_v for_o i_o that_o i_o shall_v repay_v he_o hereby_o intimate_v that_o none_o have_v or_o be_v able_a so_o to_o do_v any_o thing_n for_o god_n as_o that_o he_o shall_v thereby_o challenge_v any_o thing_n from_o he_o by_o way_n of_o recompense_n as_o the_o word_n follow_v in_o that_o place_n imply_v for_o whatever_o be_v under_o the_o whole_a heaven_n be_v i_o when_o therefore_o the_o holy_a man_n do_v beg_v pardon_n of_o sin_n their_o final_a resort_n be_v to_o god_n mercy_n or_o power_n as_o moses_n when_o he_o intercede_v for_o israel_n and_o now_o let_v the_o power_n of_o my_o lord_n be_v great_a 14.17_o numb_a 14.17_o according_a as_o thou_o have_v speak_v say_v the_o lord_n be_v long_o suffer_v and_o of_o great_a mercy_n forgive_a iniquity_n and_o transgression_n and_o so_o he_o go_v on_o forgive_v i_o pray_v thou_o the_o iniquity_n of_o this_o people_n according_a to_o the_o greatness_n of_o thy_o mercy_n 7.18.19_o mic._n 7.18.19_o so_o the_o prophet_n micah_n who_o be_v a_o god_n like_o unto_o thou_o that_o pardon_v iniquity_n and_o pass_v by_o the_o transgression_n of_o the_o remnant_n of_o his_o heritage_n because_o he_o delight_v in_o mercy_n whereas_o do_v consideration_n of_o any_o thing_n in_o the_o creature_n move_v god_n to_o show_v compassion_n forgiveness_n from_o he_o will_v no_o long_o be_v grace_n but_o debt_n and_o god_n in_o pardon_v sin_n will_v not_o exert_v a_o act_n of_o power_n but_o a_o act_n of_o justice_n and_o man_n may_v challenge_v not_o only_o pardon_v of_o sin_n but_o likewise_o heaven_n itself_o as_o a_o reward_n of_o their_o performance_n which_o be_v quite_o contrary_a to_o the_o whole_a current_n of_o scripture_n and_o to_o all_o those_o conception_n which_o the_o majesty_n and_o greatness_n of_o god_n together_o with_o the_o vileness_n and_o despicable_a meanness_n of_o the_o creature_n must_v needs_o enforce_v upon_o all_o rational_a and_o considerate_a men._n since_o therefore_o the_o promise_n of_o god_n run_v absolute_o since_o the_o nature_n of_o god_n be_v inalterable_o i._n e._n free_o gracious_a they_o neither_o consult_v god_n honour_n nor_o the_o comfort_n of_o doubt_v christian_n who_o interpose_v the_o clog_n of_o any_o precede_a condition_n they_o be_v very_o unfaithful_a ambassador_n to_o the_o king_n of_o heaven_n who_o straighten_v their_o commission_n and_o speak_v peace_n and_o pardon_n in_o term_n less_o general_a than_o they_o have_v receive_v reason_n 2_o second_o this_o will_v appear_v yet_o far_o from_o consideration_n of_o the_o price_n which_o be_v pay_v for_o sinne._n for_o though_o god_n pardon_v sin_n free_o in_o reference_n to_o we_o since_o we_o neither_o do_v nor_o can_v deserve_v it_o yet_o it_o be_v not_o free_a in_o
