to_o we_o then_o that_o phrase_n which_o entreat_v of_o speech_n and_o take_v of_o word_n which_o be_v only_o proper_a to_o man_n yet_o i_o find_v that_o interpreter_n make_v a_o little_a difference_n

it_o seem_v therefore_o it_o be_v not_o mean_v of_o repentance_n because_o that_o be_v but_o half_n again_o if_o we_o say_v he_o exhort_v to_o conversion_n that_o imply_v but_o half_a repentance_n for_o conversion_n it_o imply_v a_o turn_n from_o sin_n before_o we_o can_v turn_v to_o god_n therefore_o the_o best_a course_n will_v be_v to_o take_v in_o all_o these_o humiliation_n as_o the_o first_o thing_n in_o repentance_n and_o aversion_n from_o sin_n as_o that_o that_o always_o accompany_v true_a humiliation_n and_o turn_v to_o god_n by_o prayer_n and_o supplication_n as_o that_o part_n of_o repentance_n which_o be_v the_o last_o in_o act_n but_o the_o first_o in_o intent_n we_o may_v well_o take_v they_o in_o all_o for_o the_o scripture_n allow_v we_o this_o liberty_n the_o

use_v in_o scripture_n to_o set_v out_o the_o work_n of_o repentance_n oft_o than_o this_o turn_v to_o the_o lord_n therefore_o we_o may_v take_v in_o both_o the_o duty_n prayer_n and_o repentance_n

in_o their_o ignorance_n and_o backsliding_a see_v jeremiah_n he_o take_v a_o candle_n to_o see_v if_o there_o be_v a_o man_n i_o hearken_v and_o hear_v say_v he_o it_o be_v the_o course_n that_o the_o apostle_n take_v see_v paul_n heb._n 5._o how_o he_o study_v the_o condition_n of_o the_o church_n he_o write_v to_o some_o be_v strong_a and_o he_o propound_v the_o oracle_n of_o god_n to_o they_o some_o be_v weak_a and_o those_o he_o come_v to_o in_o element_n and_o principle_n of_o christian_a doctrine_n he_o come_v to_o the_o hebrew_n bring_v the_o milk_n of_o principle_n and_o teach_v they_o again_o which_o be_v the_o first_o element_n of_o faith_n it_o be_v the_o course_n that_o every_o good_a minister_n take_v we_o shall_v never_o know_v the_o state_n of_o our_o people_n unless_o we_o study_v their_o imperfection_n and_o watch_v over_o they_o how_o shall_v we_o know_v what_o doctrine_n to_o deliver_v to_o you_o it_o be_v a_o thing_n you_o desire_v to_o walk_v in_o cloud_n that_o we_o may_v not_o observe_v you_o in_o your_o imperfection_n but_o that_o you_o may_v be_v raise_v out_o of_o sin_n give_v we_o leave_v to_o pry_v into_o they_o to_o be_v diligent_a to_o

which_o be_v sound_a and_o which_o keep_v in_o the_o fold_n that_o be_v the_o first_o thing_n in_o the_o prophet_n the_o second_o thing_n commendable_a be_v he_o do_v not_o only_o watch_v over_o their_o weakness_n but_o condescend_v to_o their_o infirmity_n he_o apply_v himself_o to_o their_o temper_n so_o the_o apostle_n paul_n deal_v with_o the_o corinthian_n 2_o cor._n 3._o and_o i_o brethren_n when_o i_o come_v to_o you_o i_o can_v not_o come_v to_o you_o as_o spiritual_a but_o as_o carnal_a babe_n in_o christ_n therefore_o i_o bring_v not_o strong_a meat_n but_o milk_n because_o you_o be_v not_o able_a to_o bear_v meat_n nor_o be_v not_o yet_o the_o apostle_n condescend_v to_o their_o capacity_n he_o see_v the_o state_n of_o their_o stomach_n what_o meat_n they_o can_v bear_v and_o what_o they_o can_v not_o digest_v and_o he_o come_v to_o they_o according_o so_o hosea_n here_o he_o observe_v that_o the_o people_n be_v not_o able_a to_o bear_v this_o strong_a doctrine_n of_o the_o depth_n of_o repentance_n therefore_o he_o come_v to_o they_o in_o the_o first_o principle_n he_o read_v to_o they_o the_o alphabet_n of_o repentance_n he_o will_v first_o teach_v they_o to_o spell_v repentance_n for_o tear_n and_o sigh_n and_o groan_n and_o rend_v of_o the_o heart_n and_o beat_v in_o piece_n of_o the_o spirit_n he_o know_v
these_o thing_n be_v requisite_a to_o repentance_n but_o these_o be_v harsh_a symptom_n he_o propound_v not_o these_o now_o but_o only_o that_o thy_o bring_v word_n it_o be_v not_o now_o take_v to_o

the_o second_o thing_n be_v the_o excitement_n itself_o take_v to_o you_o word_n word_n of_o repentance_n and_o word_n of_o prayer_n he_o will_v instruct_v they_o in_o two_o language_n at_o once_o

and_o that_o be_v confession_n of_o sin_n that_o be_v the_o tongue_n of_o repentance_n take_v to_o you_o word_n of_o turn_v turn_v word_n word_n that_o beseem_v convert_n word_n of_o remorse_n word_n

106._o we_o have_v sin_v and_o deal_v wicked_o and_o commit_v iniquity_n as_o if_o he_o want_v word_n to_o express_v himself_o and_o it_o be_v the_o very_a same_o word_n with_o daniel_n and_o ezra_n

thou_o alone_o must_v ease_v i_o of_o they_o daniel_n and_o ezra_n aggravate_v sin_n in_o the_o same_o word_n our_o sin_n be_v increase_v up_o to_o heaven_n here_o be_v a_o high_a pitch_n he_o take_v

to_o confession_n as_o the_o knowledge_n of_o pardon_n prayer_n will_v not_o avail_v without_o confession_n therefore_o i_o first_o speak_v of_o the_o other_o prayer_n without_o confession_n say_v
