the_o mercy_n that_o god_n have_v vouchsafe_v to_o man_n there_o be_v none_o of_o a_o kind_a design_n than_o that_o which_o we_o now_o commemorate_v the_o nativity_n of_o our_o saviour_n so_o there_o be_v none_o capable_a of_o be_v abuse_v into_o more_o fatal_a effect_n it_o be_v upon_o this_o account_n that_o the_o same_o jesus_n christ_n be_v call_v in_o scripture_n the_o rock_n of_o age_n

now_o no_o excuse_n if_o i_o have_v not_o etc._n etc._n to_o take_v the_o most_o proper_a sense_n of_o the_o word_n i_o suppose_v in_o the_o first_o place_n that_o by_o they_o if_o i_o have_v not_o come_v and_o speak_v to_o they_o be_v mean_v not_o simple_o the_o jew_n to_o who_o our_o saviour_n himself_o have_v speak_v but_o likewise_o all_o other_o to_o who_o the_o same_o gospel_n shall_v at_o any_o time_n be_v preach_v for_o it_o be_v evident_a that_o our_o saviour_n mean_v the_o same_o here_o that_o he_o do_v in_o the_o foregoing_a verse_n by_o the_o world_n which_o signify_v extensive_o all_o such_o as_o be_v disobedient_a to_o the_o gospel_n in_o the_o second_o place_n i_o suppose_v that_o the_o expression_n they_o have_v not_o have_v sin_n be_v to_o be_v take_v only_o comparative_o that_o be_v they_o have_v not_o have_v sin_n in_o such_o a_o measure_n for_o we_o know_v that_o both_o jew_n and_o heathen_n have_v a_o law_n by_o which_o in_o proportion_n they_o be_v to_o be_v convict_v three_o we_o must_v observe_v that_o the_o word_n 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d in_o the_o text_n which_o be_v render_v cloak_n signify_v any_o sort_n of_o apology_n or_o colour_n either_o such_o as_o may_v real_o excuse_v or_o else_o such_o as_o can_v only_o be_v pretend_v to_o excuse_v and_o then_o the_o plain_a sense_n of_o the_o word_n will_v appear_v to_o be_v this_o that_o before_o the_o revelation_n of_o the_o gospel_n there_o be_v such_o apology_n for_o sin_n in_o the_o world_n as_o do_v much_o lessen_v and_o excuse_v the_o gild_n of_o the_o sinner_n but_o that_o since_o this_o revelation_n the_o gild_n of_o sin_n be_v aggravate_v and_o there_o remain_v no_o excuse_n nor_o so_o much_o a●_n pretence_n for_o it_o to_o illustrate_v the_o truth_n of_o this_o proposition_n i_o shall_v proceed_v in_o this_o method_n 1._o i_o shall_v produce_v the_o excuse_n and_o two_o the_o pretence_n that_o can_v ordinary_o be_v plead_v for_o the_o commission_n of_o sin_n and_o show_v respective_o that_o all_o these_o be_v void_v by_o the_o revelation_n of_o the_o gospel_n there_o be_v two_o thing_n which_o seem_v reasonable_o to_o excuse_v in_o humane_a action_n the_o first_o be_v want_v of_o light_n whereby_o to_o know_v that_o which_o we_o be_v to_o do_v the_o second_o be_v want_v of_o motive_n to_o set_v we_o about_o the_o do_n of_o that_o which_o we_o know_v for_o it_o be_v not_o enough_o for_o i_o to_o know_v that_o this_o or_o that_o be_v fit_a to_o be_v do_v i_o must_v likewise_o know_v of_o what_o importance_n it_o will_v be_v to_o i_o if_o i_o do_v it_o or_o if_o i_o let_v it_o alone_o how_o far_o the_o first_o of_o these_o excuse_n that_o be_v want_v of_o light_n obtain_v in_o the_o world_n before_o the_o revelation_n of_o the_o gospel_n be_v a_o subject_a too_o wide_o to_o engage_v in_o we_o know_v in_o short_a that_o there_o have_v be_v age_n of_o as_o much_o ignorance_n as_o sensuality_n still_o wish_n for_o to_o cover_v her_o shame_n

as_o darkness_n itself_o be_v sometime_o call_v upon_o in_o scripture_n to_o praise_n the_o lord_n so_o even_o intellectual_a darkness_n that_o be_v ignorance_n have_v occasional_o great_a reason_n to_o join_v in_o the_o praise_n for_o suppose_v man_n to_o be_v sinful_a it_o be_v happy_a for_o they_o if_o they_o be_v ignorant_a the_o supreme_a judge_n of_o the_o world_n have_v lay_v down_o this_o for_o one_o rule_n by_o which_o he_o will_v proceed_v viz._n the_o servant_n that_o know_v not_o his_o master_n will_n and_o commit_v thing_n worthy_a of_o stripe_n shall_v be_v beat_v with_o
