easy_o believe_v a_o small_a sin_n to_o be_v forgive_v therefore_o certain_o man_n doubt_v of_o his_o power_n whether_o he_o be_v able_a to_o forgive_v for_o if_o the_o difference_n of_o sin_n do_v cause_n in_o you_o unbelief_n it_o can_v not_o be_v that_o you_o shall_v pitch_v upon_o the_o power_n of_o god_n and_o his_o readiness_n to_o forgive_v power_n therefore_o it_o be_v certain_a that_o it_o be_v his_o power_n that_o be_v call_v in_o question_n and_o therefore_o the_o thing_n we_o have_v to_o do_v be_v to_o make_v this_o good_a to_o you_o that_o the_o lord_n be_v able_a to_o forgive_v but_o you_o will_v say_v to_o i_o it_o be_v true_a if_o it_o be_v a_o matter_n of_o power_n i_o make_v no_o question_n belove_a you_o shall_v find_v it_o a_o matter_n of_o power_n take_v a_o man_n be_v it_o not_o a_o matter_n of_o strength_n in_o he_o to_o forgive_v to_o pass_v by_o a_o infirmity_n if_o it_o be_v strength_n in_o a_o man_n to_o be_v meek_a to_o forgive_v and_o to_o pass_v by_o injury_n to_o be_v kind_a to_o those_o that_o be_v unkind_a to_o he_o be_v it_o not_o also_o power_n in_o god_n to_o do_v so_o beside_o be_v it_o not_o a_o power_n to_o be_v rich_a riches_n give_v a_o man_n a_o potency_n and_o the_o lord_n be_v say_v to_o be_v rich_a in_o mercy_n that_o be_v as_o a_o man_n that_o be_v rich_a though_o he_o give_v much_o yet_o he_o be_v not_o exhaust_v so_o when_o you_o have_v make_v thus_o much_o use_v of_o god_n mercy_n yet_o still_o there_o be_v more_o behind_o still_o there_o be_v more_o and_o more_o mercy_n for_o you_o there_o be_v a_o spring_n of_o mercy_n there_o be_v no_o end_n of_o it_o beside_o as_o there_o be_v a_o power_n in_o his_o wrath_n who_o know_v the_o power_n of_o his_o wrath_n so_o likewise_o there_o be_v a_o power_n in_o his_o mercy_n as_o we_o see_v rom._n 9_o 22._o 23._o 23_o it_o be_v a_o place_n worth_a the_o consider_v for_o this_o purpose_n what_o if_o god_n to_o show_v his_o wrath_n and_o to_o make_v his_o power_n know_v will_v suffer_v with_o long_a patience_n the_o vessel_n of_o wrath_n prepare_v for_o destruction_n and_o the_o next_o verse_n be_v thus_o to_o be_v read_v otherwise_o you_o can_v make_v the_o sense_n perfect_a and_o what_o if_o he_o will_v also_o to_o show_v the_o greatness_n of_o his_o power_n declare_v the_o riches_n of_o his_o glory_n upon_o the_o vessel_n of_o mercy_n that_o he_o have_v prepare_v to_o glory_n mark_v as_o god_n show_v the_o greatness_n of_o his_o power_n in_o execute_v wrath_n upon_o evil_a man_n so_o he_o show_v the_o exceed_a greatness_n of_o his_o power_n and_o declare_v his_o glorious_a riches_n that_o be_v the_o riches_n of_o his_o mercy_n upon_o the_o saint_n now_o as_o it_o be_v hard_o to_o find_v out_o the_o depth_n of_o the_o one_o so_o it_o be_v to_o find_v out_o the_o depth_n of_o the_o other_o to_o consider_v the_o height_n the_o length_n and_o breadth_n and_o depth_n of_o his_o mercy_n when_o a_o man_n consider_v his_o sin_n and_o look_n upon_o they_o in_o the_o height_n of_o they_o in_o the_o breadth_n and_o depth_n of_o they_o when_o he_o see_v a_o heap_n of_o sin_n pile_v up_o together_o reach_v up_o to_o the_o heaven_n and_o down_o again_o to_o the_o bottom_n of_o hell_n now_o to_o believe_v that_o the_o mercy_n of_o god_n be_v high_a than_o these_o sin_n and_o that_o the_o depth_n of_o his_o mercy_n be_v deep_a than_o they_o this_o be_v to_o comprehend_v the_o length_n and_o breadth_n &_o depth_n of_o mercy_n in_o he_o ephes._n 3_o 10._o this_o be_v exceed_o hard_a and_o a_o great_a thing_n for_o we_o to_o do_v but_o yet_o this_o the_o lord_n be_v able_a to_o do_v his_o mercy_n be_v able_a to_o swallow_v they_o up_o and_o therefore_o you_o shall_v find_v this_o expression_n in_o james_n 2._o 13._o mercy_n rejoice_v against_o judgement_n as_o if_o he_o shall_v say_v there_o be_v a_o certain_a contention_n between_o the_o sin_n that_o we_o commit_v and_o the_o mercy_n of_o god_n though_o our_o sin_n

you_o see_v the_o sheath_n fit_v to_o the_o sword_n you_o say_v this_o be_v some_o art_n this_o be_v not_o by_o accident_n even_o so_o it_o be_v in_o nature_n you_o see_v a_o fit_v of_o one_o thing_n

with_o the_o transparent_a medium_n the_o fit_v of_o one_o thing_n to_o another_o show_v that_o there_o be_v a_o art_n that_o do_v it_o thing_n the_o providence_n of_o god_n beside_o the_o constancy_n of_o thing_n we_o see_v they_o go_v their_o course_n those_o thing_n that_o come_v by_o accident_n that_o come_v by_o chance_n and_o not_o by_o providence_n they_o fall_v out_o uncertaine_o now_o

if_o there_o be_v not_o a_o providence_n it_o will_v quick_o be_v dissolve_v there_o be_v not_o any_o family_n but_o it_o will_v be_v so_o and_o therefore_o there_o be_v a_o need_n of_o government_n also_o in_o the_o great_a family_n of_o the_o world_n and_o if_o there_o be_v a_o government_n it_o must_v needs_o be_v by_o he_o for_o by_o man_n it_o can_v be_v govern_v for_o the_o preservation_n of_o every_o thing_n be_v in_o the_o unity_n of_o it_o and_o therefore_o you_o see_v any_o thing_n that_o be_v divide_v that_o be_v the_o dissolution_n of_o it_o as_o when_o the_o soul_n be_v divide_v

the_o objection_n out_o of_o eccles._n 9_o 11._o 11._o i_o see_v say_v he_o that_o the_o race_n be_v not_o to_o the_o swift_a nor_o the_o battle_n to_o the_o strong_a nor_o yet_o riches_n to_o a_o man_n of_o understanding_n but_o time_n and_o chance_n befall_v every_o thing_n to_o this_o answ._n i_o answer_v in_o a_o word_n that_o it_o be_v true_a there_o be_v chance_n that_o fall_v out_o in_o all_o these_o thing_n that_o we_o call_v proper_o casual_a or_o accidental_a when_o some_o thing_n come_v between_o a_o cause_n and_o the_o effect_n and_o hinder_v it_o as_o when_o a_o man_n be_v go_v a_o journey_n and_o a_o axe-head_n fall_v off_o and_o either_o wound_n he_o or_o kill_v he_o it_o come_v between_o the_o effect_n and_o the_o cause_n between_o his_o do_v and_o that_o which_o he_o intend_v if_o the_o fire_n be_v burn_v and_o water_n cast_v upon_o it_o and_o hinder_v it_o that_o be_v casual_a because_o it_o take_v off_o the_o cause_n from_o its_o intention_n so_o it_o be_v in_o this_o wherein_o the_o wiseman_n instance_v when_o a_o man_n be_v strong_a and_o some_o accident_n come_v between_o and_o hinder_v he_o from_o obtain_v the_o battle_n when_o a_o man_n have_v wisdom_n and_o some_o accident_n come_v between_o and_o hinder_v he_o from_o obtain_v favour_n this_o be_v that_o which_o we_o proper_o call_v chance_n now_o it_o be_v true_a there_o be_v such_o a_o chance_n in_o the_o nature_n of_o the_o thing_n but_o yet_o consider_v this_o though_o this_o chance_n be_v contrary_a to_o the_o particular_a cause_n yet_o it_o have_v a_o cause_n and_o it_o rise_v from_o the_o universal_a cause_n so_o that_o it_o be_v call_v chance_n because_o it_o thwart_v and_o come_v between_o the_o intention_n of_o the_o particular_a cause_n but_o it_o do_v not_o differ_v from_o the_o intention_n of_o the_o universal_a for_o those_o accidental_a thing_n have_v a_o cause_n as_o well_o as_o the_o thing_n that_o we_o intend_v have_v a_o cause_n somewhat_o there_o be_v that_o be_v the_o author_n of_o all_o cause_n that_o be_v the_o first_o of_o all_o cause_n and_o therefore_o it_o be_v impossible_a that_o any_o thing_n shall_v be_v total_o by_o accident_n and_o therefore_o i_o say_v whensoever_o you_o find_v this_o it_o be_v so_o far_o from_o be_v casual_a if_o you_o look_v into_o it_o exact_o that_o then_o the_o providence_n of_o god_n be_v most_o see_v in_o it_o of_o all_o other_o so_o far_o be_v it_o from_o come_v by_o chance_n because_o those_o thing_n that_o be_v do_v by_o particular_a cause_n according_a to_o their_o intention_n we_o usual_o ascribe_v it_o to_o they_o but_o when_o there_o be_v a_o intercurrent_a action_n come_v that_o we_o call_v chance_n that_o belong_v to_o the_o universal_a cause_n and_o be_v to_o be_v ascribe_v to_o he_o and_o hence_o it_o be_v that_o the_o lord_n usual_o in_o the_o dispense_n and_o administer_a of_o contingent_a thing_n he_o turn_v thing_n rather_o by_o accidental_a cause_n by_o casual_a thing_n then_o by_o those_o cause_n that_o have_v influence_n into_o their_o effect_n because_o his_o own_o hand_n be_v most_o see_v in_o it_o he_o get_v the_o great_a glory_n by_o it_o when_o he_o turn_v great_a matter_n by_o a_o small_a accident_n as_o we_o turn_v a_o great_a ship_n by_o a_o little_a rudder_n therein_o his_o power_n and_o his_o glory_n be_v see_v and_o therefore_o i_o say_v when_o you_o see_v such_o a_o vanity_n in_o the_o creature_n labour_v to_o see_v the_o more_o fullness_n in_o god_n if_o there_o be_v such_o a_o emptiness_n such_o a_o mutability_n such_o a_o instability_n in_o the_o creature_n look_v upon_o his_o immutabilitie_n and_o his_o eternity_n and_o labour_n to_o be_v partaker_n of_o it_o when_o you_o see_v such_o a_o inability_n in_o the_o creature_n to_o bring_v its_o enterprise_n to_o pass_v labour_v to_o see_v his_o almighty_a providence_n and_o to_o be_v persuade_v of_o it_o to_o think_v with_o thyself_o there_o be_v not_o the_o least_o thing_n without_o

this_o one_o word_n concern_v the_o trial_n when_o we_o have_v say_v so_o much_o of_o the_o all-sufficiency_n of_o god_n and_o of_o the_o emptiness_n of_o the_o creature_n all-sufficiency_n all_o
