sin_n for_o time_n to_o come_v justify_v the_o ungodly_a pardon_v sin_n yet_o purchase_v the_o pardon_n these_o eleven_o meditation_n about_o the_o pardon_n of_o sin_n make_v it_o appear_v to_o be_v

this_o chap._n iu._n that_o pardon_n of_o sin_n not_o only_o be_v a_o mercy_n in_o itself_o but_o the_o foundation_n of_o many_o other_o mercy_n argument_n pardon_v of_o sin_n make_v a_o mâ—â—_n bless_v why_o because_o it_o be_v the_o foundation_n of_o abundance_n of_o other_o mercy_n it_o be_v a_o inlet_n to_o many_o other_o mercy_n therefore_o a_o great_a mercy_n it_o be_v a_o lead_a mercy_n it_o be_v as_o the_o queen_n of_o mercy_n that_o have_v a_o great_a and_o glorious_a train_n of_o other_o mercy_n attend_v on_o she_o indeed_o it_o be_v the_o very_a foundation_n of_o all_o the_o mercy_n of_o the_o covenant_n of_o grace_n it_o be_v the_o principal_a mercy_n and_o the_o very_a foundation_n of_o all_o the_o mercy_n that_o be_v in_o the_o covenant_n and_o the_o inlet_n and_o open_n to_o they_o all_o the_o covenant_n of_o grace_n be_v a_o rich_a treasury_n have_v abundant_a store_n of_o mercy_n in_o it_o and_o this_o open_v to_o they_o all_o the_o current_n of_o all_o god_n mercy_n be_v stop_v by_o man_n sin_n though_o god_n have_v a_o infinite_a ocean_n of_o mercy_n yet_o the_o source_n and_o vent_n of_o all_o god_n mercy_n be_v stop_v now_o when_o god_n

and_o state_n yea_o to_o all_o that_o belong_v to_o a_o believer_n you_o may_v conceive_v god_n mercy_n to_o be_v as_o a_o infinite_a stream_n of_o goodness_n run_v with_o a_o full_a current_n towards_o his_o creature_n for_o god_n delight_v in_o the_o communication_n of_o himself_o to_o his_o creature_n but_o now_o man_n sin_n make_v a_o dam_n and_o stop_v the_o pipe_n that_o not_o one_o

if_o it_o be_v thus_o that_o pardon_n of_o sin_n be_v a_o inlet_n to_o other_o mercy_n then_o he_o that_o have_v his_o sin_n pardon_v be_v a_o very_a bless_a man_n i_o shall_v open_v this_o that_o

law_n they_o be_v condemn_v but_o they_o hope_v the_o mercy_n of_o god_n will_v grant_v some_o remission_n of_o the_o law_n as_o it_o be_v with_o man_n if_o all_o penal_a statute_n shall_v be_v execute_v it_o will_v be_v very_o hard_a but_o there_o be_v a_o chancery_n to_o abate_v something_o of_o the_o rigour_n and_o strictness_n of_o penal_a statute_n and_o thus_o man_n think_v to_o come_v to_o have_v pardon_n and_o deal_v with_o god_n after_o the_o manner_n of_o man_n you_o think_v the_o cry_n to_o god_n for_o mercy_n will_v abate_v something_o of_o the_o strictness_n and_o severity_n of_o the_o law_n but_o you_o mistake_v in_o take_v this_o way_n to_o get_v peace_n and_o reconciliation_n with_o god_n to_o look_v upon_o god_n mercy_n to_o lie_v in_o this_o to_o remit_v something_o of_o the_o strictness_n and_o severity_n of_o the_o law_n no_o but_o the_o work_n of_o god_n mercy_n lie_v in_o this_o to_o find_v out_o a_o surety_n for_o you_o and_o to_o transact_v the_o debt_n upon_o he_o further_o consider_v the_o work_n of_o god_n mercy_n in_o justification_n of_o a_o sinner_n when_o faith_n lay_v hold_v upon_o it_o faith_n must_v not_o lay_v hold_n upon_o it_o as_o a_o

many_o way_n and_o faith_n must_v exercise_v itself_o on_o god_n grace_n according_a to_o the_o multiplicity_n of_o the_o work_n of_o it_o in_o bring_v about_o the_o justification_n of_o a_o sinner_n as_o thus_o you_o have_v sin_v and_o you_o cry_v to_o god_n for_o pardon_n but_o the_o mercy_n of_o god_n do_v not_o work_v thus_o to_o pardon_v you_o as_o it_o be_v a_o single_a act_n but_o the_o

of_o god_n mercy_n be_v to_o set_v his_o wisdom_n on_o work_n to_o find_v out_o a_o way_n how_o mankind_n shall_v be_v reconcile_v unto_o he_o and_o his_o sin_n pardon_v and_o yet_o that_o god_n

it_o be_v a_o work_n of_o god_n mercy_n in_o the_o powerful_a ministry_n of_o the_o gospel_n to_o reveal_v this_o and_o then_o further_o it_o be_v a_o work_n of_o god_n mercy_n to_o draw_v thou_o to_o

save_v thy_o soul_n certain_o it_o will_v work_v so_o far_o as_o to_o take_v away_o the_o power_n of_o sin_n and_o let_v thou_o not_o live_v in_o the_o filth_n of_o thy_o sin_n many_o think_v god_n mercy_n will_v do_v great_a matter_n hereafter_o but_o nothing_o now_o in_o comparison_n of_o what_o he_o will_v do_v hereafter_o they_o think_v he_o will_v give_v they_o outward_a blessing_n now_o but_o keep_v spiritual_a thing_n till_o hereafter_o certain_o this_o be_v a_o infallible_a truth_n if_o god_n mercy_n work_v not_o so_o powerful_o here_o in_o this_o world_n as_o to_o bestow_v spiritual_a good_a thing_n on_o thou_o thou_o may_v be_v assure_v that_o it_o will_v never_o work_v so_o powerful_a on_o thou_o as_o to_o save_v thy_o soul_n in_o the_o world_n to_o come_v can_v it_o be_v think_v a_o prince_n pardon_v a_o malefactor_n that_o he_o shall_v not_o be_v hang_v and_o yet_o suffer_v he_o to_o lie_v in_o prison_n and_o rot_n in_o the_o dungeon_n this_o be_v but_o a_o poor_a pardon_n a_o half_a pardon_n to_o be_v deliver_v from_o the_o gallow_n and_o rot_v in_o the_o prison_n certain_o whatever_o a_o prince_n may_v do_v god_n never_o pardon_v a_o sinner_n so_o to_o

as_o we_o shall_v see_v further_o therefore_o thou_o that_o say_v thou_o hope_v in_o god_n mercy_n that_o he_o will_v pardon_v thou_o let_v i_o ask_v what_o have_v he_o do_v for_o thou_o if_o thou_o

be_v pardon_v this_o i_o may_v speak_v much_o too_o we_o must_v rest_v there_o but_o there_o be_v a_o mistake_n there_o too_o the_o rely_v on_o christ_n be_v not_o rely_v on_o he_o by_o act_v of_o some_o transient_a thought_n that_o pass_v over_o but_o it_o be_v a_o abide_a thing_n when_o man_n hear_v there_o be_v no_o way_n to_o be_v save_v but_o by_o christ_n and_o they_o can_v deny_v it_o and_o because_o they_o be_v loath_a to_o think_v they_o be_v such_o as_o can_v be_v save_v they_o be_v loath_a to_o have_v such_o ill_a thought_n of_o themselves_o &_o hear_v this_o be_v the_o way_n and_o no_o other_o therefore_o they_o will_v persuade_v themselves_o that_o they_o shall_v find_v mercy_n through_o christ_n now_o what_o great_a work_n be_v this_o so_o to_o rely_v on_o christ_n the_o work_n of_o faith_n be_v a_o mighty_a work_n it_o be_v not_o a_o short_a transient_a work_n a_o few_o thought_n upon_o thy_o heart_n to_o be_v save_v by_o christ_n no_o wheresoever_o faith_n

therefore_o take_v this_o for_o conviction_n rely_v on_o christ_n be_v not_o bare_o to_o think_v my_o sin_n be_v pardon_v by_o christ_n but_o it_o be_v a_o receive_n of_o christ_n a_o possess_n of_o

that_o we_o be_v do_v for_o god_n like_v well_o the_o exercise_n of_o the_o work_n of_o common_a gift_n though_o they_o be_v not_o save_v and_o to_o eternal_a life_n yet_o god_n like_v the_o exercise_n of_o they_o so_o far_o as_o there_o be_v any_o thing_n good_a and_o commend_v they_o when_o that_o young_a man_n come_v to_o christ_n mar._n 10.21_o christ_n look_v upon_o he_o and_o love_v

and_o christ_n because_o hereby_o we_o shall_v evidence_n that_o we_o be_v not_o so_o negligent_a of_o god_n and_o christ_n and_o the_o thing_n of_o eternal_a life_n as_o we_o be_v before_o 3._o it_o be_v to_o some_o purpose_n for_o in_o the_o stir_n of_o the_o common_a work_n of_o god_n spirit_n god_n many_o time_n come_v in_o with_o save_v work_n for_o god_n work_v not_o upon_o man_n as_o upon_o

of_o grace_n though_o they_o be_v such_o thing_n as_o we_o must_v follow_v after_o yet_o they_o be_v not_o the_o condition_n of_o the_o covenant_n of_o grace_n now_o that_o that_o be_v the_o condition_n of_o the_o covenant_n of_o grace_n sanctify_v he_o that_o have_v it_o and_o follow_v upon_o our_o union_n with_o christ_n though_o god_n use_v to_o carry_v on_o the_o soul_n in_o the_o way_n of_o legal_a terror_n humiliation_n and_o the_o like_a yet_o these_o be_v not_o the_o work_n of_o the_o covenant_n of_o grace_n and_o therefore_o this_o may_v help_v many_o a_o poor_a soul_n about_o terror_n of_o conscience_n and_o humiliation_n that_o be_v trouble_v that_o they_o never_o have_v those_o degree_n as_o other_o have_v why_o as_o they_o do_v not_o prepare_v and_o fit_v thou_o for_o christ_n so_o the_o want_n of_o they_o be_v no_o hindrance_n to_o the_o receive_n of_o christ_n the_o three_o caution_n be_v this_o that_o follow_v on_o the_o other_o that_o though_o you_o put_v
