ever_o pardon_v go_v along_o with_o it_o but_o the_o scripture_n speak_v of_o a_o repentance_n that_o may_v be_v without_o pardon_n therefore_o when_o thou_o say_v thou_o repente_v you_o must_v not_o look_v upon_o it_o so_o because_o you_o repent_v therefore_o your_o sin_n be_v pardon_v as_o if_o every_o repentance_n be_v true_a for_o thou_o mistake_v in_o the_o work_n of_o repentance_n thou_o think_v this_o to_o be_v repentance_n to_o salvation_n for_o thou_o to_o be_v sorry_a at_o the_o very_a heart_n for_o thy_o sin_n certain_o thou_o may_v be_v sorry_a at_o the_o heart_n and_o yet_o perish_v for_o all_o that_o i_o make_v no_o question_n but_o judas_n be_v sorry_a at_o his_o heart_n and_o wish_v it_o have_v never_o be_v do_v and_o if_o it_o be_v to_o do_v again_o he_o will_v

and_o far_o from_o a_o save_a work_n of_o repentance_n therefore_o the_o repentance_n many_o hope_n to_o have_v what_o be_v it_o when_o we_o tell_v they_o of_o their_o sin_n they_o say_v they_o hope_v

the_o ordinary_a way_n to_o put_v man_n off_o from_o this_o plea_n be_v to_o tell_v they_o how_o do_v you_o know_v you_o shall_v live_v or_o that_o your_o heart_n shall_v not_o be_v harden_v but_o suppose_v you_o do_v live_v and_o that_o you_o have_v a_o heart_n to_o do_v as_o you_o say_v yet_o your_o repentance_n may_v fail_v you_o if_o your_o repentance_n be_v no_o other_o than_o that_o which_o come_v for_o sorrow_n of_o sin_n because_o of_o the_o punishment_n it_o will_v fail_v you_o certain_o that_o repentance_n that_o must_v go_v for_o current_n in_o heaven_n be_v of_o another_o

build_v their_o believe_v of_o the_o pardon_n of_o their_o sin_n mere_o on_o their_o sorrow_n and_o such_o kind_n of_o sorrow_n they_o be_v like_o a_o man_n that_o will_v erect_v a_o great_a

the_o sorrow_n of_o jesus_n christ_n there_o you_o shall_v find_v the_o sure_a ground_n there_o may_v be_v some_o mistake_n there_o too_o but_o for_o the_o present_a i_o shall_v not_o stay_v on_o that_o we_o must_v look_v ten_o thousand_o time_n more_o at_o the_o sorrow_n of_o christ_n than_o at_o our_o own_o sorrow_n and_o therefore_o when_o your_o heart_n be_v trouble_v and_o you_o look_v

that_o that_o must_v be_v a_o ground_n of_o hope_n for_o the_o pardon_n of_o my_o sin_n must_v be_v something_o that_o must_v satisfy_v the_o justice_n of_o god_n for_o though_o there_o be_v never_o
