be_v this_o examine_v whether_o your_o passion_n be_v strong_a for_o strong_a passion_n have_v weak_a affection_n unto_o good_a when_o the_o passion_n of_o a_o man_n be_v strong_a they_o weaken_v

but_o he_o will_v not_o because_o he_o be_v most_o free_a in_o his_o choice_n he_o will_v save_v jacob_n and_o cast_v off_o esau_n and_o so_o he_o may_v have_v choose_v honourable_a and_o noble_a

again_o in_o esa._n 57_o i_o dwell_v in_o the_o high_a and_o mighty_a place_n with_o he_o also_o that_o be_v of_o a_o contrite_a and_o break_a spirit_n that_o be_v there_o be_v but_o two_o place_n

that_o be_v humble_a this_o readiness_n of_o christ_n to_o receive_v sinner_n be_v excellent_o set_v forth_o in_o the_o parable_n of_o the_o prodigal_n how_o ready_o do_v the_o father_n receive_v a_o rebellious_a child_n even_o so_o ready_a and_o much_o more_o ready_a be_v christ_n to_o receive_v sinner_n that_o be_v humble_v a_o example_n we_o have_v in_o david_n how_o ready_a be_v god_n to_o pardon_v david_n great_a sin_n when_o he_o have_v humble_v himself_o and_o the_o same_o we_o see_v in_o peter_n and_o so_o here_o in_o paul_n the_o reason_n of_o this_o point_n be_v these_o the_o first_o reason_n be_v because_o mercy_n please_v he_o reason_n as_o it_o be_v in_o micha_n i_o will_v pardon_v your_o transgression_n because_o mercy_n please_v i_o that_o be_v he_o delight_v to_o show_v mercy_n to_o sinner_n and_o what_o man_n will_v not_o willing_o do_v any_o thing_n that_o please_v he_o the_o second_o reason_n be_v because_o mercy_n be_v natural_a reason_n unto_o god_n that_o be_v it_o be_v his_o nature_n for_o although_o mercy_n be_v a_o quality_n in_o we_o yet_o it_o be_v a_o nature_n in_o god_n and_o what_o man_n will_v not_o willing_o do_v any_o thing_n that_o be_v agreeable_a unto_o his_o nature_n the_o three_o reason_n be_v because_o god_n be_v rich_a in_o mercy_n a_o man_n that_o be_v rich_a he_o will_v not_o respect_v the_o give_v of_o reason_n a_o small_a gift_n but_o he_o will_v give_v liberal_o &_o bountiful_o and_o it_o be_v for_o his_o credit_n to_o do_v thus_o now_o if_o it_o be_v thus_o with_o man_n then_o how_o much_o more_o with_o god_n because_o he_o be_v the_o storehouse_n &_o have_v the_o fountain_n in_o himself_o and_o therefore_o it_o stand_v with_o his_o honour_n to_o give_v liberal_o to_o be_v rich_a in_o mercy_n to_o his_o child_n the_o four_o reason_n be_v because_o god_n be_v our_o father_n and_o you_o know_v a_o father_n have_v a_o tender_a affection_n over_o reason_n his_o child_n and_o if_o it_o be_v thus_o with_o man_n than_o it_o be_v much_o more_o with_o god_n towards_o his_o child_n thou_o need_v not_o to_o fear_v the_o miss_n of_o his_o mercy_n if_o thou_o be_v one_o of_o god_n child_n the_o consideration_n of_o this_o that_o god_n be_v exceed_o merciful_a shall_v draw_v we_o close_o unto_o god_n use_v that_o be_v be_v god_n merciful_a then_o let_v we_o run_v unto_o he_o this_o hope_v of_o mercy_n shall_v win_v we_o to_o come_v unto_o he_o for_o what_o be_v that_o which_o make_v a_o traitor_n or_o a_o malefactor_n after_o hue_n and_o cry_n to_o come_v in_o and_o lay_v down_o the_o arm_n of_o rebellion_n but_o the_o proclamation_n of_o mercy_n and_o in_o hope_n of_o this_o he_o come_v in_o therefore_o when_o you_o hear_v that_o christ_n be_v exceed_o merciful_a then_o come_v in_o only_o lay_v down_o the_o arm_n of_o rebellion_n and_o you_o shall_v find_v mercy_n object_n oh_o but_o say_v some_o i_o will_v willing_o come_v unto_o christ_n but_o alas_o my_o sin_n be_v so_o many_o object_n and_o so_o great_a that_o i_o fear_v christ_n will_v not_o receive_v i_o answ._n to_o this_o i_o answer_v what_o if_o thy_o sin_n be_v exceed_o great_a and_o many_o yet_o they_o be_v not_o infinite_a answ._n that_o be_v they_o do_v not_o exceed_v the_o price_n pay_v for_o they_o but_o god_n be_v infinite_a in_o mercy_n and_o therefore_o exceed_v all_o thy_o sin_n again_o consider_v the_o ability_n and_o power_n of_o god_n he_o be_v able_a to_o make_v thou_o clean_o and_o purge_v thou_o from_o all_o iniquity_n and_o therefore_o fear_v not_o the_o greatness_n of_o thy_o sin_n only_a labour_n to_o find_v the_o condition_n faith_n in_o thou_o and_o then_o come_v and_o take_v of_o christ_n free_o second_o if_o god_n be_v exceed_o merciful_a then_o let_v man_n take_v heed_n that_o they_o wrong_v not_o themselves_o use_v in_o regard_n of_o salvation_n by_o the_o neglect_n of_o those_o mean_n whereby_o grace_n be_v get_v that_o be_v let_v man_n be_v humble_a and_o then_o let_v they_o know_v that_o christ_n be_v merciful_a and_o that_o you_o may_v not_o put_v off_o repentance_n and_o the_o get_n of_o grace_n consider_v these_o particular_n the_o first_o thing_n be_v this_o take_v the_o time_n and_o opportunity_n when_o grace_n be_v offer_v that_o be_v it_o will_v be_v help_n good_a for_o you_o to_o strike_v while_o the_o iron_n be_v hot_a and_o grind_v while_o the_o wind_n blow_v and_o sail_v when_o there_o be_v a_o fair_a gale_n so_o it_o be_v good_a to_o follow_v the_o spirit_n in_o its_o motion_n for_o as_o there_o be_v a_o time_n when_o the_o spirit_n be_v offer_v so_o there_o be_v a_o time_n when_o the_o spirit_n may_v not_o be_v get_v and_o therefore_o it_o be_v that_o this_o time_n be_v so_o insist_v upon_o so_o often_o in_o hebr._n 3_o to_o day_n if_o you_o will_v hear_v his_o voice_n etc._n etc._n that_o be_v there_o be_v a_o time_n when_o god_n will_v not_o be_v find_v of_o we_o though_o we_o will_v give_v a_o world_n to_o have_v but_o one_o motion_n of_o the_o spirit_n again_o one_o moment_n of_o repentance_n one_o offer_n of_o grace_n but_o you_o shall_v not_o well_o then_o now_o you_o have_v the_o time_n and_o opportunity_n that_o be_v the_o day_n of_o salvation_n i_o offer_v you_o christ_n and_o salvation_n and_o you_o may_v have_v he_o if_o you_o will_v but_o receive_v he_o that_o be_v if_o you_o will_v but_o suffer_v he_o to_o rule_v in_o your_o heart_n if_o you_o will_v but_o acknowledge_v he_o to_o be_v your_o lord_n and_o king_n you_o shall_v have_v he_o whatsoever_o thou_o be_v or_o have_v be_v for_o the_o time_n past_a only_o if_o you_o will_v be_v a_o new_a man_n for_o the_o time_n to_o come_v but_o if_o you_o will_v not_o receive_v christ_n now_o but_o refuse_v he_o there_o shall_v a_o time_n come_v when_o thou_o will_v receive_v he_o but_o then_o thou_o shall_v not_o remember_v the_o five_o foolish_a virgin_n matth._n 25._o they_o be_v shut_v out_o of_o the_o marriage_n chamber_n and_o so_o may_v thou_o if_o thou_o now_o refuse_v he_o second_o consider_v that_o repentance_n be_v not_o in_o help_n thy_o own_o power_n that_o be_v it_o be_v a_o turn_n of_o the_o heart_n and_o cast_v of_o a_o man_n into_o a_o new_a mould_n the_o set_n of_o the_o heart_n the_o right_a way_n and_o withal_o know_v that_o there_o be_v a_o false_a repentance_n cain_n and_o esau_n and_o judas_n repent_v as_o well_o as_o paul_n and_o peter_n and_o david_n but_o the_o one_o proceed_v from_o the_o spirit_n and_o the_o other_o from_o the_o flesh_n it_o must_v be_v sound_a repentance_n if_o it_o be_v acceptable_a now_o this_o no_o man_n can_v do_v of_o his_o own_o power_n and_o strength_n except_o there_o be_v a_o supernatural_a work_n of_o grace_n in_o the_o soul_n there_o be_v two_o cause_n why_o god_n do_v afflict_v his_o child_n first_o god_n afflict_v his_o child_n because_o of_o some_o scandal_n i_o speak_v now_o of_o god_n child_n and_o thus_o david_n be_v afflict_v because_o he_o give_v a_o just_a occasion_n of_o scandal_n in_o the_o matter_n of_o vriah_n therefore_o god_n afflict_v he_o second_o to_o wean_v they_o from_o the_o world_n because_o god_n know_v till_o they_o be_v humble_a and_o base_o esteem_v of_o themselves_o and_o the_o world_n they_o will_v not_o prize_n christ_n or_o grace_n but_o when_o they_o be_v thorough_o humble_v than_o they_o will_v come_v in_o and_o take_v christ_n and_o therefore_o it_o be_v that_o we_o preach_v christ_n general_o unto_o all_o that_o whosoever_o will_v come_v and_o take_v he_o may_v have_v he_o and_o therefore_o this_o be_v the_o question_n that_o we_o move_v and_o propound_v unto_o all_o man_n whether_o they_o will_v receive_v christ_n that_o be_v whether_o they_o will_v take_v he_o above_o all_o thing_n for_o
