will_v not_o talk_v nor_o take_v much_o notice_n of_o his_o own_o good_a deed_n the_o best_a of_o himself_o be_v little_a to_o himself_o before_o i_o pass_v this_o point_n it_o may_v be_v inquire_v first_o what_o this_o self-abhorrence_a which_o accompany_v true_a repentance_n work_v in_o those_o that_o have_v it_o with_o respect_n to_o sin_n or_o sinful_a self_n i_o answer_v it_o work_v these_o five_o thing_n first_o a_o dislike_n of_o sinful_a self_n he_o grow_v into_o a_o distaste_n with_o sin_n it_o relish_v not_o his_o renew_a palate_n and_o so_o will_v not_o like_o unsavoury_a meat_n go_v down_o with_o he_o second_o a_o hatred_n of_o sinful_a self_n it_o be_v but_o a_o easy_a step_n from_o distaste_n and_o dislike_n to_o hatred_n that_o soon_o fall_v under_o our_o displeasure_n which_o please_v we_o not_o no_o soon_o do_v amnon_n dislike_v his_o sister_n tamar_n who_o he_o inordinate_o like_v a_o little_a before_o but_o the_o text_n say_v 2_o sam._n 13.15_o he_o hate_v she_o exceed_o so_o that_o the_o hatred_n wherewith_o he_o hate_v she_o be_v great_a than_o the_o love_n wherewith_o he_o have_v love_v she_o three_o a_o indignation_n against_o sinful_a self_n the_o spirit_n of_o a_o true_a penitent_a rise_v against_o sin_n as_o against_o a_o open_a enemy_n or_o a_o false_a friend_n two_o cor._n 7.11_o four_o a_o utter_a aversation_n or_o alienation_n from_o sinful_a self_n as_o they_o who_o live_v in_o sin_n be_v averse_a and_o alienate_v from_o the_o life_n of_o god_n that_o be_v from_o holiness_n so_o they_o who_o repent_v of_o sin_n be_v alienate_v and_o turn_v away_o from_o the_o sin_n of_o their_o former_a life_n five_o and_o last_o a_o opposition_n against_o sin_n there_o be_v not_o bare_o a_o turn_n away_o from_o it_o but_o a_o war_n against_o it_o a_o desire_n to_o destroy_v and_o mortify_v it_o to_o do_v it_o as_o i_o may_v say_v the_o great_a mischief_n we_o can_v thus_o dislike_n be_v follow_v with_o hatred_n and_o hatred_n with_o indignation_n and_o indignation_n with_o aversation_n and_o aversation_n with_o opposition_n wrought_v and_o rise_a up_o in_o a_o penitent_a soul_n against_o sin_n but_o second_o it_o may_v be_v ask_v why_o do_v a_o repent_a soul_n abhor_v sinful_a self_n i_o answer_v he_o do_v it_o upon_o these_o four_o consideration_n first_o because_o it_o appear_v to_o he_o as_o a_o filthy_a thing_n ezek._n 16.5_o psal_n 38.7_o prov._n 12.22_o all_o which_o scripture_n show_v that_o as_o sin_n be_v a_o filthy_a thing_n in_o itself_o so_o it_o appear_v such_o to_o a_o repent_a soul_n they_o that_o love_v their_o sin_n look_v upon_o they_o as_o fine_a thing_n or_o as_o their_o beauty_n but_o to_o a_o repent_a soul_n nothing_o appear_v more_o dirty_a and_o filthy_a and_o who_o abhor_v not_o that_o which_o be_v so_o to_o he_o second_o a_o repent_a soul_n look_v upon_o sin_n as_o a_o hurtful_a thing_n to_o he_o we_o natural_o turn_v from_o and_o abhor_v that_o which_o be_v so_o we_o abhor_v the_o poison_n of_o a_o toad_n and_o the_o sting_n of_o a_o serpent_n to_o taste_v the_o one_o or_o to_o be_v bite_v by_o the_o other_o be_v no_o more_o deadly_a to_o the_o body_n than_o sin_n be_v to_o the_o soul_n three_o a_o repent_a soul_n be_v sick_a very_o sick_a of_o his_o sin_n they_o have_v burden_v his_o conscience_n as_o unwholesome_a food_n do_v the_o stomach_n now_o if_o a_o man_n abhor_v that_o which_o have_v make_v he_o stomack-sick_a much_o more_o will_v he_o abhor_v that_o which_o have_v indeed_o and_o not_o so_o much_o from_o the_o quantity_n as_o from_o the_o quality_n and_o nature_n of_o it_o make_v he_o conscience-sick_a four_o a_o repent_a person_n have_v vomit_v or_o cast_v up_o his_o sin_n by_o a_o humble_a confession_n of_o they_o always_o to_o god_n and_o in_o some_o case_n to_o man_n repentance_n be_v the_o soul_n vomit_v now_o as_o any_o man_n loathe_v his_o own_o vomit_n so_o a_o man_n true_o repent_v loathe_v the_o sin_n which_o he_o have_v thus_o vomit_v upon_o all_o these_o account_v a_o repent_a soul_n loathe_v sinful_a self_n or_o sin_n in_o himself_o three_o but_o why_o do_v a_o repent_a soul_n abhor_v righteous_a self_n i_o answer_v first_o because_o he_o be_v convince_v that_o self-righteousness_n be_v a_o weak_a imperfect_a thing_n even_o in_o sanctification_n and_o therefore_o he_o be_v so_o far_o from_o boast_v of_o it_o or_o trust_v in_o it_o that_o he_o have_v a_o kind_n of_o abhorrence_n of_o it_o second_o he_o see_v that_o as_o to_o justification_n it_o be_v a_o filthy_a abominable_a thing_n isa_n 64.6_o all_o our_o righteousness_n be_v as_o filthy_a rag_n and_o as_o he_o abhor_v it_o because_o it_o be_v unfit_a and_o incompetent_a in_o itself_o for_o that_o use_n so_o because_o it_o be_v utter_o inconsistent_a with_o the_o tenor_n of_o the_o gospel_n wherein_o god_n have_v remove_v all_o man_n righteousness_n how_o pure_a soever_o it_o may_v be_v from_o that_o use_n and_o direct_v we_o to_o look_v only_o to_o the_o righteousness_n of_o christ_n for_o that_o use_n which_o the_o apostle_n call_v the_o righteousness_n of_o god_n rom._n 10.3_o and_o that_o in_o a_o twofold_a

whereas_o they_o give_v not_o only_o a_o piece_n of_o money_n or_o a_o lamb_n but_o every_o one_o a_o ear-ring_n of_o gold_n which_o we_o may_v consider_v not_o only_o as_o to_o the_o matter_n as_o
