of_o the_o word_n as_o well_o as_o peter_n by_o the_o crow_n of_o the_o cock_n and_o yet_o remain_v impenitent_a to_o this_o day_n nay_o further_o many_o of_o our_o sin_n be_v more_o aggravate_v than_o the_o sin_n of_o peter_n peter_n deny_v christ_n it_o be_v true_a but_o it_o be_v in_o the_o house_n of_o caiaphas_n but_o some_o of_o we_o deny_v he_o even_o in_o his_o own_o house_n and_o

of_o our_o sin_n than_o he_o resist_v he_o and_o this_o poor_a man_n in_o turkish_a slavery_n under_o great_a and_o sore_a temptation_n which_o he_o long_o resist_v peter_n deny_v he_o but_o it_o be_v when_o his_o spirit_n be_v overwhelm_v with_o fear_n and_o surprise_v trouble_v whereas_o we_o deny_v and_o disobey_v he_o in_o the_o midst_n of_o peace_n and_o plenty_n peter_n deny_v he_o but_o it_o be_v under_o the_o apprehension_n of_o a_o temporal_a and_o cruel_a death_n that_o may_v be_v the_o consequence_n of_o own_v he_o but_o bless_v be_v god_n we_o have_v no_o such_o temptation_n on_o the_o contrary_a if_o we_o deny_v he_o it_o be_v in_o despite_n of_o the_o threaten_n of_o temporal_a and_o eternal_a death_n so_o that_o our_o apostasy_n from_o christ_n and_o practical_a denial_n of_o he_o be_v more_o criminal_a in_o several_a respect_n than_o the_o fault_n of_o peter_n last_o therefore_o as_o we_o have_v imitate_v his_o sin_n let_v we_o imitate_v he_o in_o his_o repentance_n too_o we_o have_v hear_v that_o the_o second_o call_v awaken_v he_o to_o repentance_n when_o our_o lord_n look_v upon_o he_o but_o how_o many_o call_v from_o god_n have_v some_o of_o we_o have_v how_o often_o have_v christ_n look_v upon_o and_o speak_v to_o we_o and_o knock_v at_o the_o door_n of_o our_o heart_n by_o his_o spirit_n shall_v we_o not_o then_o obey_v his_o voice_n to_o repent_v as_o soon_o as_o peter_n remember_v his_o sin_n you_o have_v hear_v that_o he_o leave_v the_o place_n where_o he_o contract_v his_o guilt_n he_o avoid_v the_o company_n that_o have_v be_v a_o snare_n to_o

but_o give_v some_o convictive_a sign_n and_o evidence_n of_o it_o that_o you_o do_v in_o earnest_n repent_v and_o bring_v forth_o fruit_n meet_v for_o repentance_n concern_v peter_n you_o have_v

but_o be_v double_o diligent_a in_o circumspect_a and_o holy_a walk_n it_o be_v sad_a to_o consider_v how_o much_o formal_a superficial_a counterfeit_a repentance_n there_o be_v in_o the_o world_n
