repent_v and_o what_o will_v become_v of_o we_o then_o how_o long_o any_o one_o may_v delay_v his_o repentance_n before_o it_o be_v too_o late_o in_o this_o sense_n no_o man_n live_a can_v tell_v he_o and_o therefore_o whoso_o be_v wise_a will_v not_o delay_v his_o repentance_n at_o all_o of_o this_o i_o shall_v say_v more_o afterward_o at_o present_a i_o shall_v endeavour_v to_o make_v we_o all_o a_o little_a more_o sensible_a of_o the_o sinfulness_n of_o delay_v and_o drive_v off_o our_o repentance_n and_o the_o keep_n of_o god_n commandment_n from_o day_n to_o day_n how_o contrary_a it_o be_v to_o all_o scripture_n and_o reason_n and_o true_o this_o delay_n be_v so_o contrary_a to_o both_o these_o that_o it_o seem_v very_o wonderful_a how_o any_o one_o shall_v not_o be_v ashamed_a as_o well_o as_o afraid_a to_o use_v it_o there_o can_v be_v nothing_o in_o the_o world_n more_o absurd_a than_o for_o a_o man_n at_o once_o to_o profess_v he_o believe_v the_o gospel_n and_o own_v the_o duty_n of_o repentance_n as_o necessary_a and_o to_o delay_v this_o duty_n for_o this_o delay_n seem_v no_o less_o than_o a_o bold_a attempt_n to_o cancel_v and_o blot_v out_o the_o whole_a gospel_n at_o one_o dash_n and_o to_o change_v the_o order_n and_o method_n which_o god_n have_v prescribe_v for_o the_o bring_n of_o sinner_n to_o salvation_n for_o a_o new_a one_o of_o our_o own_o contrive_n it_o seem_v i_o say_v the_o make_n of_o a_o new_a gospel_n for_o ourselves_o and_o a_o new_a way_n to_o blessedness_n which_o god_n never_o approve_v of_o nor_o allow_v and_o be_v not_o this_o as_o absurd_a as_o to_o set_v ourselves_o in_o our_o saviour_n stead_n and_o a_o take_n upon_o we_o to_o make_v for_o ourselves_o a_o new_a and_o easy_a way_n to_o heaven_n that_o i_o may_v not_o seem_v to_o say_v this_o without_o good_a reason_n let_v it_o serious_o be_v consider_v that_o repentance_n be_v not_o only_o a_o duty_n but_o the_o special_a privilege_n of_o the_o gospel_n the_o good_a news_n which_o the_o angel_n bring_v from_o heaven_n be_v that_o god_n have_v send_v we_o the_o saviour_n who_o he_o have_v in_o the_o beginning_n promise_v to_o sinner_n and_o the_o good_a news_n that_o our_o saviour_n bring_v we_o be_v that_o god_n will_v for_o his_o sake_n accept_v of_o the_o sinner_n repentance_n and_o faith_n in_o he_o and_o this_o be_v bless_a tiding_n indeed_o to_o a_o sinful_a world_n tell_v it_o be_v true_a before_o in_o the_o old_a testament_n and_o shadow_v forth_o in_o the_o law_n but_o now_o most_o full_o declare_v and_o glorious_o confirm_v
