people_n may_v be_v cast_v down_o too_o much_o for_o sin_n and_o too_o much_o humble_v under_o the_o sight_n and_o sense_n of_o corruption_n then_o what_o may_v be_v the_o reason_n that_o wicked_a and_o ungodly_a man_n be_v not_o cast_v down_o at_o all_o for_o sin_n and_o see_v that_o godly_a man_n may_v be_v cast_v down_o for_o sin_n here_o too_o much_o and_o not_o cast_v off_o for_o sin_n hereafter_o and_o wicked_a man_n that_o shall_v be_v cast_v into_o hell_n for_o sin_n when_o they_o die_v yet_o be_v not_o all_o cast_v down_o for_o sin_n while_o they_o live_v what_o reason_n may_v be_v give_v for_o this_o answer_v 1_o now_o for_o the_o resolution_n of_o this_o question_n i_o shall_v lay_v down_o these_o six_o particular_n by_o way_n of_o answer_n the_o first_o reason_n why_o wicked_a man_n though_o they_o shall_v be_v cast_v off_o yet_o they_o be_v not_o at_o all_o cast_v down_o for_o sin_n it_o arise_v sin_n from_o their_o ignorance_n of_o the_o dangerous_a and_o damnable_a nature_n of_o sin_n they_o have_v a_o blind_a mind_n and_o a_o dumb_a conscience_n they_o see_v not_o such_o evil_a in_o sin_n as_o godly_a man_n do_v althouch_v wicked_a man_n know_v what_o sin_n be_v in_o general_a yet_o it_o be_v but_o a_o general_a notion_n of_o sin_n in_o the_o head_n and_o they_o have_v no_o particular_a and_o experimental_a and_o distinct_a notion_n of_o the_o evil_a and_o dangerous_a nature_n of_o sin_n upon_o their_o heart_n and_o conscience_n and_o therefore_o it_o come_v to_o pass_v that_o they_o be_v not_o cast_v down_o for_o sin_n but_o this_o general_a notion_n of_o sin_n cast_v they_o off_o and_o do_v not_o cast_v they_o down_o and_o this_o be_v the_o reason_n that_o they_o do_v not_o see_v sin_n to_o become_v exceed_o sinful_a and_o they_o do_v not_o take_v notice_n of_o the_o evil_a of_o sin_n the_o damn_v nature_n of_o sin_n according_a to_o that_o expression_n in_o jer._n 2._o 23._o how_o can_v thou_o say_v i_o be_o not_o

the_o jew_n they_o be_v great_a in_o sin_n and_o do_v abound_v in_o wickedness_n yet_o they_o be_v ready_a to_o say_v that_o they_o be_v not_o sinful_a at_o least_o they_o do_v not_o know_v that_o they_o be_v so_o it_o be_v for_o want_v of_o the_o knowledge_n of_o their_o way_n &_o the_o sinfulness_n of_o their_o do_n that_o they_o be_v not_o cast_v down_o for_o sin_n shall_v a_o man_n meet_v a_o lion_n in_o the_o wilderness_n he_o will_v be_v afraid_a of_o that_o and_o the_o reason_n be_v because_o he_o know_v that_o the_o lion_n be_v hurtful_a but_o if_o a_o man_n see_v a_o lion_n paint_v on_o the_o wall_n he_o be_v not_o afraid_a of_o that_o because_o he_o know_v that_o can_v hurt_v he_o so_o when_o man_n shall_v look_v upon_o sin_n but_o not_o look_v upon_o it_o as_o a_o lion_n in_o the_o wilderness_n that_o will_v certain_o destroy_v bewail_v he_o if_o he_o avoid_v it_o not_o but_o to_o look_v upon_o sin_n as_o a_o lion_n paint_v on_o the_o wall_n that_o have_v no_o power_n to_o do_v they_o hurt_v they_o see_v sin_n but_o it_o be_v general_o and_o notional_o and_o not_o particular_o and_o experimental_o the_o second_o reason_n be_v this_o it_o arise_v from_o a_o principle_n of_o presumption_n of_o pardon_v grace_n and_o mercy_n when_o wicked_a man_n hear_v the_o thundering_n and_o curse_n of_o the_o law_n denounce_v against_o sin_n and_o sinner_n deliver_v by_o the_o minister_n of_o the_o gospel_n to_o awaken_v they_o from_o the_o sleep_n of_o sin_n and_o security_n when_o they_o hear_v of_o the_o severity_n of_o god_n justice_n and_o that_o he_o be_v a_o sin-revenging_a god_n and_o that_o he_o will_v by_o no_o mean_n clear_v the_o guilty_a but_o will_v render_v to_o every_o one_o according_a to_o his_o way_n and_o work_n now_o what_o do_v a_o wicked_a man_n do_v in_o this_o case_n do_v this_o awaken_v his_o conscience_n to_o see_v the_o evil_n of_o sin_n no_z but_o he_o do_v the_o quite_o contrary_a he_o then_o from_o a_o principle_n of_o presumption_n of_o pardon_v grace_n and_o mercy_n in_o god_n bless_v himself_o in_o his_o own_o way_n and_o he_o say_v i_o shall_v have_v peace_n though_o i_o walk_v after_o the_o imagination_n of_o

than_o three_o the_o three_o reason_n why_o wicked_a man_n be_v not_o cast_v down_o for_o sin_n at_o all_o it_o arise_v from_o that_o obdurateness_n from_o that_o hardness_n that_o be_v in_o their_o

according_a to_o that_o expression_n of_o the_o apostle_n eph._n 4._o 19_o who_o be_v past_a feeling_n have_v give_v themselves_o over_o unto_o lasciviousness_n 19_o to_o work_v all_o uncleanness_n

that_o sin_n shall_v harden_v the_o heart_n and_o sear_v the_o conscience_n 2._o and_o then_o no_o marvel_n if_o they_o be_v not_o at_o all_o cast_v down_o for_o sin_n then_o four_o wicked_a man_n they_o be_v not_o cast_v down_o for_o sin_n at_o all_o it_o arise_v from_o this_o because_o that_o they_o do_v stifle_v the_o rebuke_n of_o conscience_n when_o it_o do_v rebuke_v they_o and_o check_v

of_o god_n shall_v not_o be_v too_o much_o cast_v down_o for_o sin_n be_v this_o be_v sure_a to_o cast_v thyself_o upon_o jesus_n christ_n for_o life_n and_o salvation_n and_o then_o whatever_o come_v be_v sure_a thou_o will_v not_o be_v too_o much_o cast_v down_o for_o sin_n nor_o too_o much_o deject_v under_o it_o what_o be_v the_o great_a reason_n that_o so_o many_o poor_a soul_n be_v so_o much_o cast_v down_o for_o sin_n too_o much_o deject_v under_o the_o sight_n and_o sense_n of_o it_o it_o be_v this_o because_o they_o be_v afraid_a to_o cast_v themselves_o whole_o upon_o jesus_n christ_n and_o to_o roll_v themselves_o upon_o he_o for_o salvation_n though_o more_o sin_n require_v more_o tear_n for_o sin_n upon_o the_o thought_n of_o it_o yet_o jesus_n christ_n need_v not_o

that_o be_v within_o thou_o it_o be_v the_o nature_n of_o wicked_a man_n yea_o and_o good_a man_n too_o to_o run_v into_o extreme_n about_o and_o concern_v sin_n and_o therefore_o observe_v this_o rule_n for_o it_o will_v be_v a_o mean_n to_o keep_v you_o that_o you_o do_v not_o cast_v yourselves_o down_o too_o much_o for_o sin_n first_o it_o be_v natural_a for_o wicked_a man_n that_o they_o will_v be_v so_o far_o from_o be_v cast_v down_o for_o sin_n too_o much_o that_o they_o will_v not_o be_v trouble_v nor_o cast_v down_o for_o sin_n at_o all_o but_o to_o go_v on_o from_o sin_n to_o sin_n for_o to_o pass_v from_o one_o degree_n to_o another_o till_o they_o perish_v everlasting_o and_o this_o they_o do_v without_o fear_n second_o but_o now_o on_o the_o right_a hand_n good_a man_n be_v very_o apt_a to_o run_v into_o a_o right-hand_a error_n and_o wicked_a man_n will_v not_o be_v cast_v down_o for_o sin_n at_o all_o these_o will_v labour_v to_o cast_v themselves_o too_o low_o for_o sin_n under_o the_o sight_n and_o sense_n of_o it_o the_o scripture_n make_v mention_n of_o wicked_a man_n they_o be_v not_o at_o all_o trouble_a for_o sin_n as_o you_o may_v read_v in_o job_n

they_o spend_v their_o day_n in_o mirth_n and_o in_o a_o moment_n go_v down_o to_o the_o grave_n but_o be_v they_o at_o all_o humble_v before_o god_n read_v the_o 14_o and_o 15_o verse_n therefore_o they_o say_v unto_o god_n depart_v from_o we_o for_o we_o do_v not_o desire_v the_o knowledge_n of_o thy_o way_n what_o be_v the_o almighty_a that_o we_o shall_v serve_v he_o and_o what_o profit_n shall_v we_o have_v if_o we_o pray_v unto_o he_o therefore_o depart_v from_o we_o wherefore_o because_o they_o live_v in_o mirth_n and_o pleasure_n and_o at_o heart_n ease_v and_o they_o never_o so_o much_o as_o think_v of_o sin_n and_o much_o less_o for_o to_o be_v humble_v under_o the_o sense_n of_o it_o and_o therefore_o they_o neither_o care_v for_o god_n nor_o for_o his_o way_n so_o that_o you_o see_v wicked_a man_n be_v not_o cast_v down_o for_o sin_n at_o all_o but_o now_o good_a man_n be_v on_o the_o other_o side_n very_o apt_a for_o to_o embitter_v their_o own_o condition_n by_o be_v too_o much_o cast_v down_o for_o sin_n this_o be_v possible_a and_o good_a man_n be_v very_o apt_a to_o do_v it_o 2_o cor._n 2._o 7._o you_o ought_v to_o comfort_v he_o lest_o perhaps_o such_o
