he_o will_v be_v very_a misgive_n and_o suspicious_a and_o struggle_v mighty_o with_o himself_o at_o the_o thought_n of_o it_o i_o speak_v not_o to_o lessen_v the_o fear_n of_o those_o who_o live_v in_o any_o know_a sin_n if_o god_n be_v true_a they_o have_v great_a reason_n to_o be_v afraid_a now_o here_o it_o may_v be_v ask_v suppose_v a_o man_n bring_v into_o extreme_a danger_n of_o his_o life_n for_o the_o sake_n of_o his_o religion_n in_o a_o time_n of_o persecution_n one_o that_o have_v long_o profess_v the_o true_a religion_n but_o have_v live_v very_o unanswerable_o to_o it_o and_o be_v guilty_a of_o many_o grievous_a crime_n unrepented_a of_o which_o he_o be_v accuse_v by_o his_o own_o conscience_n for_o of_o a_o sudden_a he_o be_v command_v to_o renounce_v his_o faith_n which_o in_o his_o mind_n he_o be_v very_o persuade_v be_v true_a and_o to_o turn_v to_o idolatry_n and_o to_o deny_v and_o blaspheme_v his_o saviour_n or_o else_o immediate_o to_o suffer_v death_n what_o must_v such_o a_o one_o do_v now_o in_o this_o case_n if_o he_o comply_v with_o the_o command_n he_o sin_v grievous_o against_o the_o light_n of_o his_o mind_n and_o his_o own_o conscience_n and_o yet_o by_o such_o a_o compliance_n he_o gain_v time_n of_o repentance_n to_o make_v his_o peace_n with_o god_n and_o to_o beg_v his_o pardon_n for_o his_o crime_n and_o also_o for_o all_o his_o other_o sin_n which_o he_o have_v so_o long_o live_v in_o if_o he_o choose_v death_n it_o be_v that_o which_o he_o be_v whole_o unprepared_a for_o he_o be_v utter_o unfit_a to_o appear_v before_o god_n and_o he_o can_v expect_v nothing_o but_o to_o suffer_v god_n vengeance_n for_o the_o sin_n of_o a_o ill-spent_a life_n now_o what_o be_v to_o be_v do_v in_o such_o sad_a circumstance_n as_o these_o it_o be_v a_o case_n that_o may_v happen_v and_o therefore_o to_o resolve_v the_o doubt_n i_o shall_v propound_v brief_o these_o thing_n to_o you_o viz._n 1._o in_o point_n of_o duty_n what_o this_o man_n be_v bind_v to_o do_v this_o be_v most_o certain_a that_o no_o sin_n ought_v to_o be_v commit_v upon_o any_o consideration_n whatever_o their_o damnation_n be_v just_a say_v the_o apostle_n that_o do_v evil_a that_o good_a may_v come_v rom._n 3._o 8._o it_o be_v in_o no_o case_n either_o justifiable_a or_o prudent_a to_o save_v our_o life_n by_o any_o sin_n it_o be_v every_o one_o duty_n nay_o it_o be_v best_o even_o for_o the_o great_a of_o sinner_n to_o loose_v his_o life_n a_o thousand_o time_n rather_o than_o to_o deny_v god_n or_o his_o truth_n and_o as_o for_o gain_v time_n for_o repentance_n it_o be_v to_o be_v consider_v that_o when_o we_o be_v in_o such_o a_o strait_a as_o that_o we_o can_v live_v any_o long_o without_o sin_v direct_o and_o grievous_o against_o our_o conscience_n it_o be_v god_n will_n that_o we_o shall_v then_o die_v the_o time_n of_o our_o repentance_n be_v now_o over_o and_o god_n by_o this_o providence_n do_v call_v we_o out_o of_o the_o world_n now_o when_o we_o will_v not_o submit_v to_o this_o call_v but_o will_v not_o stick_v to_o do_v the_o great_a villainy_n how_o can_v we_o expect_v that_o god_n shall_v bestow_v any_o far_a grace_n upon_o we_o or_o that_o his_o spirit_n after_o such_o a_o apostasy_n shall_v strive_v any_o long_o with_o we_o common_o the_o effect_n of_o such_o thing_n be_v a_o judicial_a hardness_n to_o be_v give_v up_o to_o a_o perverse_a mind_n and_o a_o reprobate_a state_n after_o any_o one_o have_v in_o so_o gross_a a_o manner_n violate_v his_o conscience_n there_o be_v very_o little_a hope_n that_o ever_o he_o shall_v be_v again_o renew_v in_o the_o spirit_n of_o his_o mind_n for_o person_n to_o have_v obey_v the_o truth_n and_o yet_o in_o time_n of_o persecution_n fall_v away_o and_o for_o fear_n of_o death_n renounce_v it_o the_o ancient_a church_n that_o be_v to_o say_v a_o great_a part_n will_v never_o again_o receive_v they_o into_o their_o communion_n till_o their_o death_n and_o a_o great_a division_n there_o be_v among_o they_o concern_v the_o restore_n those_o that_o have_v once_o lapse_v into_o idolatry_n what_o then_o shall_v we_o say_v to_o those_o who_o after_o a_o wicked_a life_n add_v to_o their_o other_o sin_n that_o of_o hypocrisy_n they_o may_v for_o a_o while_n lengthen_v out_o their_o wretched_a life_n but_o it_o be_v to_o be_v fear_v that_o they_o have_v shut_v themselves_o out_o from_o all_o hope_n of_o the_o mean_n of_o grace_n it_o be_v a_o very_a improper_a and_o unlikely_a way_n in_o order_n to_o attain_v the_o pardon_n of_o past_a sin_n to_o commit_v the_o great_a we_o can_v be_v guilty_a of_o to_o renounce_v our_o saviour_n 2._o in_o such_o a_o case_n therefore_o the_o sinner_n be_v bind_v to_o adore_v the_o justice_n of_o god_n judgement_n that_o by_o his_o own_o gross_a neglect_n and_o carelessness_n he_o be_v bring_v into_o such_o misery_n for_o that_o he_o ought_v to_o have_v be_v always_o prepare_v for_o such_o a_o time_n yet_o however_o though_o he_o have_v high_o provoke_v god_n and_o displease_v he_o to_o the_o utmost_a yet_o he_o will_v not_o deny_v or_o blaspheme_v his_o name_n he_o will_v not_o renounce_v his_o saviour_n nor_o disow_v his_o profession_n he_o will_v leave_v himself_o to_o god_n infinite_a mercy_n and_o will_v die_v rather_o than_o offend_v he_o and_o such_o a_o resolute_a resignation_n of_o himself_o such_o a_o generous_a and_o noble_a profession_n of_o his_o faith_n how_o far_o it_o may_v be_v acceptable_a with_o god_n and_o prevail_v with_o he_o be_v unknown_a in_o such_o extraordinary_a instance_n god_n may_v use_v extraordinary_a mean_n in_o reference_n to_o we_o and_o may_v dispense_v even_o with_o the_o rule_n he_o have_v lay_v down_o in_o the_o scripture_n indeed_o i_o can_v prove_v or_o produce_v any_o promise_n for_o it_o but_o the_o example_n of_o the_o thief_n on_o the_o cross_n who_o for_o a_o extraordinary_a instance_n of_o faith_n and_o charity_n obtain_v more_o than_o common_a grace_n i_o think_v and_o favour_n and_o consider_v the_o infinite_a goodness_n of_o god_n nature_n i_o shall_v have_v far_o more_o hope_n of_o such_o a_o person_n that_o after_o a_o wicked_a life_n end_v his_o day_n brave_o and_o courageous_o rather_o than_o against_o his_o judgement_n and_o conscience_n than_o of_o a_o profane_a covetous_a worldly_a unclean_a professor_n who_o bewail_v his_o sin_n on_o a_o sickbed_n while_o he_o be_v wrestle_v with_o a_o waste_a disease_n and_o hope_n by_o his_o prayer_n and_o good_a wish_n and_o pious_a resolution_n to_o obtain_v his_o pardon_n and_o this_o be_v the_o sense_n of_o the_o primitive_a church_n that_o a_o heathen_a be_v convert_v to_o christianity_n and_o suffering_n for_o it_o among_o other_o christian_n before_o he_o can_v make_v a_o public_a profession_n of_o it_o or_o be_v baptize_v into_o it_o that_o he_o shall_v inherit_v the_o reward_n of_o christian_n this_o baptism_n in_o his_o own_o blood_n supply_v all_o other_o defect_n and_o expiate_v all_o former_a sin_n i_o say_v it_o be_v the_o common_a opinion_n of_o the_o ancient_a father_n they_o think_v his_o death_n carry_v with_o it_o the_o remission_n of_o all_o past_a sin_n i_o shall_v not_o take_v upon_o i_o to_o determine_v this_o but_o thus_o much_o i_o think_v may_v be_v say_v in_o the_o case_n propose_v that_o to_o die_v for_o his_o religion_n be_v the_o best_a mean_n such_o a_o person_n can_v use_v to_o obtain_v his_o pardon_n and_o do_v express_v his_o repentance_n to_o be_v sure_a far_o better_a than_o add_v the_o sin_n of_o apostasy_n to_o all_o his_o other_o but_o to_o make_v sure_a the_o best_a way_n be_v to_o hasten_v our_o repentance_n and_o to_o reform_v present_o before_o the_o flood_n come_v and_o the_o wind_n blow_v and_o the_o storm_n rise_v by_o a_o new_a life_n to_o arm_v ourselves_o against_o all_o the_o power_n and_o rage_n of_o man_n and_o then_o though_o we_o walk_v through_o the_o valley_n of_o the_o shadow_n of_o death_n yet_o we_o need_v fear_v no_o evil_n this_o therefore_o be_v as_o i_o tell_v you_o a_o great_a reason_n to_o fear_v death_n for_o death_n be_v in_o truth_n the_o great_a of_o all_o natural_a evil_n that_o can_v befall_v we_o there_o be_v in_o all_o man_n a_o natural_a fear_n of_o it_o which_o can_v be_v whole_o root_v out_o by_o religion_n nor_o be_v it_o necessary_a that_o it_o shall_v be_v if_o death_n have_v not_o be_v a_o natural_a evil_n it_o have_v never_o be_v threaten_v nor_o inflict_v on_o mankind_n as_o a_o punishment_n for_o sin_n there_o be_v in_o all_o man_n a_o natural_a dread_n of_o it_o and_o we_o hardly_o count_v they_o worthy_a the_o name_n of_o man_n that_o be_v not_o affect_v with_o a_o due_a sense_n of_o it_o and_o
