less_o external_a glory_n three_o though_o our_o sin_n can_v do_v no_o injury_n to_o god_n to_o make_v god_n unholy_a or_o to_o make_v god_n unhappy_a yet_o sin_n do_v great_a injury_n to_o

record_v in_o scripture_n it_o be_v a_o note_n that_o hildersham_n have_v on_o psal_n 51._o touch_v david_n foul_a sin_n i_o do_v not_o read_v of_o any_o express_a example_n in_o all_o the_o scripture_n of_o a_o godly_a man_n fall_v oft_o into_o the_o same_o gross_a sin_n after_o repentance_n and_o after_o humiliation_n for_o that_o sin_n observe_v this_o further_a that_o though_o it_o be_v possible_a yet_o it_o be_v but_o very_o rare_a and_o though_o there_o be_v instance_n that_o some_o man_n have_v do_v so_o yet_o there_o be_v more_o plentiful_a instance_n that_o good_a man_n have_v not_o do_v so_o i_o will_v give_v you_o a_o few_o instance_n jehosaphat_n enter_v into_o a_o sinful_a league_n with_o ahaziah_n but_o when_o the_o prophet_n rebuke_v he_o read_v the_o story_n 1_o king_n 22._o he_o have_v sin_v once_o with_o his_o father_n but_o he_o will_v not_o sin_v a_o second_o time_n with_o he_o so_o that_o here_o you_o see_v a_o good_a man_n will_v not_o a_o second_o time_n join_v with_o a_o ahaziah_n so_o likewise_o you_o have_v the_o instance_n in_o judah_n that_o be_v father_n in_o law_n to_o thamar_n gen._n 38.26_o and_o judah_n acknowledge_v they_o and_o say_v she_o have_v be_v more_o righteous_a than_o i_o because_o that_o i_o give_v she_o not_o to_o shelah_n my_o son_n and_o he_o know_v she_o again_o no_o more_o it_o be_v not_o again_o do_v he_o know_v she_o again_o no_o more_o so_o as_o divine_n do_v usual_o urge_v it_o noah_n be_v drink_v but_o never_o but_o once_o and_o that_o before_o he_o know_v the_o strength_n of_o the_o grape_n david_n be_v adulterous_a but_o never_o but_o once_o this_o therefore_o shall_v be_v one_o caution_n second_o take_v this_o caution_n that_o you_o may_v not_o be_v embolden_v to_o run_v often_o into_o the_o same_o sin_n if_o a_o man_n do_v often_o commit_v the_o same_o gross_a sin_n it_o argue_v a_o great_a strength_n and_o prevalency_n that_o that_o sin_n have_v over_o he_o then_o all_o other_o

of_o a_o man_n in_o a_o lose_a condition_n i_o do_v not_o say_v they_o be_v such_o symptom_n that_o infallible_o conclude_v a_o man_n to_o be_v a_o unpardoned_a man_n i_o may_v say_v as_o physician_n say_v of_o a_o relapse_n into_o the_o same_o disease_n the_o second_o time_n be_v more_o dangerous_a than_o the_o first_o disease_n the_o reason_n be_v because_o the_o first_o sickness_n feed_v on_o

it_o be_v a_o clear_a symptom_n of_o the_o prevalency_n of_o that_o sin_n it_o be_v worth_a your_o notice_n what_o symptom_n the_o lord_n do_v give_v of_o the_o plague_n of_o leprosy_n for_o the_o priest_n to_o judge_v that_o disease_n by_o levit._n 13._o the_o first_o symptom_n be_v when_o the_o hair_n be_v turn_v white_a in_o the_o sore_a divine_n accommodate_v that_o to_o a_o continuance_n

a_o man_n self_n into_o the_o same_o road_n of_o wickedness_n there_o be_v nothing_o in_o the_o world_n do_v more_o harden_v the_o heart_n then_o when_o the_o same_o sin_n have_v the_o same_o inroad_n

to_o the_o same_o sin_n thou_o may_v have_v a_o great_a deal_n of_o comfort_n that_o thou_o be_v in_o a_o state_n of_o pardon_n the_o five_o case_n follow_v but_o whether_o may_v a_o godly_a man_n that_o be_v pardon_v pray_v for_o pardon_n of_o sin_n antinomian_o account_v this_o to_o be_v needless_a they_o account_v all_o prayer_n for_o pardon_n to_o be_v only_o in_o this_o sense_n to_o wit_n

of_o christ_n christ_n be_v come_v into_o the_o flesh_n but_o though_o i_o be_o not_o to_o pray_v for_o these_o thing_n that_o be_v so_o full_o and_o perfect_o do_v yet_o i_o be_o to_o pray_v for_o
