burden_n of_o a_o base_a and_o pollute_a conscience_n religion_n can_v be_v so_o great_a a_o trouble_n as_o a_o guilty_a soul_n and_o whatsoever_o trouble_n can_v be_v fancy_v in_o this_o or_o any_o

of_o his_o own_o memory_n and_o to_o dash_v his_o glass_n in_o piece_n because_o it_o must_v needs_o represent_v to_o his_o own_o eye_n a_o intolerable_a deformity_n he_o therefore_o that_o resolve_v to_o live_v well_o whatsoever_o it_o cost_v he_o he_o that_o will_v go_v to_o heaven_n at_o any_o rate_n shall_v best_o tend_v this_o duty_n by_o neglect_v the_o affair_n of_o the_o world_n in_o all_o

of_o the_o divine_a mercy_n in_o pardon_v sinner_n if_o it_o be_v think_v a_o great_a matter_n that_o i_o be_o charge_v with_o original_a sin_n i_o confess_v i_o feel_v the_o weight_n of_o it_o in_o

therefore_o no_o sin_n and_o need_v no_o mercy_n nor_o be_v capable_a of_o any_o since_o therefore_o man_n alone_o be_v the_o correlative_a or_o proper_a object_n and_o vessel_n of_o reception_n of_o a_o infinite_a mercy_n and_o that_o mercy_n be_v in_o give_v and_o forgive_n i_o have_v reason_n to_o hope_v that_o he_o will_v so_o forgive_v i_o that_o my_o sin_n shall_v not_o hinder_v i_o of_o

upon_o the_o title_n of_o give_v or_o forgive_a it_o be_v alike_o to_o i_o and_o will_v alike_o magnify_v the_o glory_n of_o the_o divine_a mercy_n 6.23_o and_o because_o eternal_a life_n be_v the_o

be_v still_o a_o gift_n and_o i_o can_v not_o receive_v it_o but_o as_o a_o free_a and_o a_o gracious_a donative_n and_o so_o i_o may_v still_o god_n can_v still_o give_v it_o i_o and_o it_o be_v not_o a_o impossible_a expectation_n to_o wait_v and_o look_v for_o such_o a_o gift_n at_o the_o hand_n of_o the_o god_n of_o mercy_n the_o best_a man_n deserve_v it_o not_o and_o i_o who_o be_o the_o
