only_a article_n of_o repentance_n man_n know_v they_o must_v repent_v but_o the_o definition_n of_o repentance_n they_o take_v from_o the_o convenience_n of_o their_o own_o affair_n what_o they_o will_v not_o part_v with_o that_o be_v not_o necessary_a to_o be_v part_v with_o and_o they_o will_v repent_v but_o not_o restore_v they_o will_v say_v nollem_fw-la factum_fw-la they_o wish_v they_o

not_o the_o obscurity_n of_o the_o thing_n but_o the_o cloud_n upon_o the_o heart_n for_o say_v you_o what_o you_o will_v he_o that_o hear_v must_v be_v the_o expounder_n and_o we_o can_v never_o

great_a sin_n impose_v the_o least_o oblation_n as_o a_o she-goat_n for_o the_o sin_n of_o idolatry_n for_o a_o woman_n accuse_v of_o adultery_n a_o barly-cake_n so_o do_v most_o man_n they_o think_v to_o expiate_v the_o worst_a of_o their_o sin_n with_o a_o trifle_n with_o a_o pretend_a little_a insignificant_a repentance_n god_n indeed_o do_v so_o that_o the_o cheapness_n of_o the_o oblation_n may_v teach_v they_o to_o hope_v for_o pardon_n not_o from_o the_o ceremony_n but_o from_o a_o severe_a internal_a repentance_n but_o man_n take_v any_o argument_n to_o lessen_v their_o repentance_n that_o they_o may_v not_o lessen_v their_o pleasure_n or_o their_o estate_n and_o that_o repentance_n may_v be_v nothing_o but_o a_o word_n and_o mortification_n signify_v nothing_o against_o their_o
