albeit_o thou_o forget_v thy_o sin_n after_o thou_o have_v get_v thy_o pleasure_n yet_o thou_o shall_v see_v that_o thy_o conscience_n have_v mark_v they_o all_o and_o as_o a_o man_n can_v read_v when_o the_o book_n be_v close_v yet_o be_v open_v they_o may_v read_v therein_o even_o so_o albeit_o when_o our_o conscience_n be_v benumb_v we_o see_v not_o the_o ugliness_n and_o guiltiness_n of_o sin_n yet_o when_o god_n waken_v they_o we_o will_v see_v sin_n in_o the_o own_o colour_n and_o find_v the_o ugliness_n and_o guiltiness_n thereof_o our_o sin_n will_v come_v in_o and_o stand_v up_o as_o mountain_n and_o will_v hide_v the_o bless_a face_n and_o presence_n of_o god_n from_o thou_o sin_n go_v betwixt_o we_o and_o god_n and_o separate_v we_o from_o god._n the_o saint_n find_v in_o experience_n that_o it_o be_v not_o a_o easy_a thing_n to_o find_v a_o familiar_a access_n to_o god_n in_o prayer_n except_o our_o conscience_n first_o be_v purge_v we_o can_v have_v none_o access_n to_o god._n therefore_o whosoever_o will_v draw_v near_o to_o god_n let_v he_o seek_v to_o follow_v the_o counsel_n of_o the_o apostle_n in_o the_o 10._o chapter_n of_o the_o epistle_n to_o the_o hebrew_n and_o the_o two_o and_o twenty_o verse_n where_o he_o say_v let_v we_o draw_v near_o with_o a_o true_a heart_n in_o a_o assurance_n of_o faith_n sprinkle_v in_o our_o heart_n from_o a_o evil_a conscience_n no_o flesh_n can_v have_v a_o favourable_a access_n to_o god_n except_o his_o conscience_n be_v first_o purge_v from_o guiltiness_n yea_o that_o which_o we_o speak_v of_o the_o guiltiness_n of_o sin_n we_o speak_v also_o of_o sin_n itself_o that_o except_o it_o be_v quite_o take_v away_o out_o of_o his_o sight_n that_o he_o will_v not_o look_v favourable_o upon_o us._n and_o this_o be_v that_o which_o the_o prophet_n say_v here_o if_o thou_o o_o lord_n straight_o mark_v iniquity_n o_o lord_n who_o shall_v stand_v for_o as_o guiltiness_n of_o sin_n stay_v we_o to_o behold_v god_n so_o sin_n itself_o stay_v god_n from_o behold_v we_o miserable_a wretch_n with_o the_o eye_n of_o his_o compassion_n so_o long_o therefore_o as_o thy_o conscience_n be_v not_o purge_v when_o thou_o go_v to_o present_v thyself_o before_o his_o majesty_n if_o thy_o conscience_n be_v waken_v thou_o will_v find_v god_n mark_v thy_o sin_n lay_v they_o to_o thy_o charge_n and_o will_v find_v he_o as_o a_o terrible_a judge_n compass_v about_o with_o burn_a wrath_n ready_a to_o destroy_v thou_o and_o if_o he_o mark_v thou_o thou_o have_v no_o stand_n and_o if_o thou_o appear_v not_o

his_o fierce_a wrath_n shall_v be_v pour_v out_o upon_o thou_o further_o we_o learn_v hereof_o that_o when_o ever_o we_o will_v have_v our_o prayer_n accept_v we_o shall_v begin_v with_o a_o humble_a confession_n of_o our_o sin_n and_o unworthiness_n and_o with_o a_o earnest_a prayer_n to_o forgive_v the_o same_o yea_o we_o must_v aggreadge_v our_o sin_n by_o all_o circumstance_n as_o the_o prophet_n do_v here_o no_o none_o not_o the_o holy_a saincté_n father_n nor_o prophet_n can_v be_v able_a to_o stand_v if_o he_o mark_v their_o iniquity_n let_v be_v himself_o who_o be_v such_o a_o unworthy_a wretch_n who_o be_v lade_v with_o so_o many_a and_o great_a sin_n thou_o must_v not_o extenuate_v thy_o sin_n before_o god_n if_o thou_o will_v find_v favour_n with_o god_n as_o many_o man_n common_o do_v say_v we_o be_v all_o sinner_n yea_o many_o man_n have_v sin_v more_o and_o have_v do_v worse_a deed_n than_o i_o have_v do_v that_o be_v not_o the_o way_n to_o find_v god_n favour_n thou_o must_v be_v very_o abject_a vile_a and_o contemptible_a in_o thy_o own_o account_n if_o thou_o will_v have_v the_o lord_n to_o account_v of_o thou_o then_o where_o shall_v we_o get_v a_o remedy_n to_o help_v a_o evil_a conscience_n for_o sin_n take_v away_o all_o joy_n and_o confidence_n in_o prayer_n the_o next_o word_n furnish_v a_o fair_a remedy_n but_o mercy_n be_v with_o thou_o lord_n it_o be_v not_o thy_o justice_n i_o look_v to_o but_o thy_o mercy_n thy_o justice_n hold_v i_o aback_o but_o thy_o mercy_n allure_v i_o i_o flee_v from_o thy_o justice_n and_o i_o claim_v to_o thy_o mercy_n so_o when_o a_o man_n desire_v his_o prayer_n to_o be_v hear_v he_o must_v first_o have_v a_o sight_n of_o his_o own_o misery_n guiltiness_n and_o unworthiness_n and_o of_o

will_v not_o serve_v both_o be_v necessary_a for_o without_o the_o knowledge_n sight_n and_o feel_v of_o our_o misery_n of_o sin_n and_o of_o the_o wrath_n of_o god_n for_o the_o same_o we_o will_v
