what_o be_v say_v in_o this_o text_n for_o bottome_v and_o clear_v of_o this_o point_n i_o propose_v to_o remark_n six_o particular_n from_o the_o text_n
two_o of_o which_o i_o have_v speak_v to_o in_o the_o forenoon_n to_o wit_n that_o which_o be_v suppon_v here_o that_o god_n be_v a_o marker_n of_o iniquity_n and_o what_o it_o import_v and_o second_o that_o which_o be_v propose_v on_o this_o supposition_n that_o if_o god_n shall_v mark_v iniquity_n as_o be_v explain_v man_n even_o the_o most_o godly_a man_n can_v not_o stand_v where_o somewhat_o be_v say_v to_o the_o importance_n of_o that_o phrase_n now_o i_o proceed_v in_o explication_n of_o the_o point_n from_o the_o text_n for_o to_o that_o i_o confine_v myself_o in_o other_o four_o particular_n the_o first_o and_o three_o in_o order_n shall_v be_v this_o that_o this_o assertion_n that_o man_n can_v stand_v before_o god_n mark_v iniquity_n be_v of_o infallible_a verity_n a_o most_o certain_a and_o infallible_a truth_n it_o be_v not_o a_o bugbear_n to_o affright_v child_n but_o the_o infallible_a truth_n of_o god_n this_o be_v hint_v at_o in_o the_o text_n partly_o in_o the_o psalmist_n his_o propose_v the_o matter_n to_o god_n if_o thou_o lord_n shall_v mark_v iniquity_n o_o lord_n who_o shall_v stand_v he_o propose_v it_o to_o god_n who_o know_v this_o matter_n better_o than_o any_o other_o and_o who_o be_v supreme_a judge_n in_o the_o matter_n without_o who_o determination_n a_o decreet_a in_o our_o own_o favour_n will_v signify_v nothing_o at_o all_o it_o import_v o_o lord_n let_v man_n dream_v what_o they_o will_v of_o their_o stand_n thou_o know_v that_o none_o can_v stand_v if_o thou_o shall_v mark_v iniquity_n to_o punish_v it_o and_o particular_o the_o infallible_a verity_n of_o this_o assertion_n may_v be_v gather_v from_o the_o way_n of_o propose_v it_o and_o that_o be_v by_o way_n of_o question_n who_o shall_v stand_v which_o question_n be_v a_o very_a peremptory_a denial_n of_o the_o thing_n question_v for_o so_o the_o like_a question_n be_v resolve_v job_n 14.4_o who_o can_v bring_v a_o clean_a thing_n out_o of_o a_o unclean_a not_o one_o yea_o the_o propose_v of_o it_o by_o way_n of_o question_n who_o shall_v stand_v do_v import_n a_o defiance_n to_o any_o to_o attempt_v it_o or_o to_o succeed_v in_o their_o attempt_n and_o indignation_n at_o the_o presumption_n of_o any_o that_o shall_v dream_v of_o stand_v before_o god_n mark_v iniquity_n but_o in_o the_o four_o place_n as_o this_o assertion_n be_v of_o infallible_a verity_n so_o it_o be_v of_o universal_a verity_n this_o be_v hold_v out_o in_o the_o question_n for_o the_o question_n be_v who_o shall_v stand_v that_o be_v as_o the_o parallel_a question_n be_v answer_v job_n 14.4_o none_o at_o all_o good_a or_o bad_a if_o thou_o lord_n shall_v mark_v iniquity_n none_o shall_v stand_v for_o the_o psalmist_n here_o a_o godly_a man_n be_v take_v in_o himself_o with_o other_o as_o a_o man_n that_o can_v not_o stand_v himself_o without_o pardon_n and_o so_o the_o phrase_n be_v psal_n 143.2_o enter_v not_o into_o judgement_n with_o thy_o servant_n for_o in_o thy_o sight_n shall_v no_o man_n live_v be_v justify_v the_o best_a of_o man_n that_o be_v come_v of_o adam_n by_o ordinary_a generation_n shall_v not_o be_v justify_v if_o thou_o mark_v iniquity_n hence_o in_o scripture_n it_o be_v clear_a that_o saintship_n consist_v not_o in_o sinlessness_n but_o in_o sincerity_n for_o for_o original_a guilt_n in_o that_o job_n 14.4_o who_o can_v bring_v a_o clean_a thing_n out_o of_o a_o unclean_a not_o one_o and_o for_o a_o man_n endeavour_n after_o he_o be_v bring_v in_o to_o god_n and_o be_v wrestle_v with_o corruption_n to_o have_v

upon_o earth_n that_o do_v good_a and_o sin_v not_o but_o as_o it_o be_v jam._n 3.2_o in_o many_o thing_n we_o offend_v all_o thus_o you_o see_v that_o saintship_n do_v not_o consist_v in_o sinlessness_n but_o in_o sincerity_n neither_o do_v saintship_n consist_v in_o the_o saint_n their_o sin_n not_o deserve_v condemnation_n or_o in_o their_o be_v able_a to_o stand_v though_o they_o have_v sin_v but_o in_o their_o sin_n be_v pardon_v hence_o you_o will_v find_v they_o sad_o exercise_v in_o wrestle_v under_o the_o burden_n of_o guilt_n upon_o their_o gross_a out-breaking_n as_o

they_o attain_v to_o a_o song_n of_o thanksgiving_n through_o jesus_n so_o that_o not_o only_o do_v the_o text_n hold_v out_o the_o infallible_a verity_n of_o this_o truth_n but_o the_o universal_a verity_n of_o it_o that_o if_o god_n mark_v iniquity_n none_o can_v stand_v the_o 5_o thing_n i_o gather_v from_o the_o text_n be_v that_o the_o infallible_a and_o universal_a verity_n of_o this_o

the_o debt_n yet_o to_o waken_v resentment_n therefore_o the_o scripture_n go_v a_o further_a length_n in_o the_o pardon_n of_o sin_n and_o tell_v that_o pardon_a sin_n be_v not_o only_o blot_v out_o

be_v much_o trouble_n of_o mind_n where_o the_o conscience_n be_v dormient_fw-la and_o sleep_v there_o may_v be_v much_o vexation_n and_o fashâ—ie_n about_o trouble_n and_o cross_v dispensation_n of_o

not_o like_o a_o true_a israelite_n where_o sin_n be_v not_o make_v the_o main_a exercise_n where_o daily_o search_v out_o of_o sin_n and_o endeavour_n to_o have_v the_o conscience_n purify_v and_o purge_v from_o guilt_n be_v not_o folk_n great_a task_n and_o i_o shall_v add_v that_o exercise_n about_o sin_n and_o guilt_n will_v give_v a_o more_o comfortable_a account_n about_o trouble_n if_o we_o be_v study_v to_o have_v this_o text_n make_v out_o to_o we_o he_o shall_v redeem_v israel_n out_o of_o all_o his_o iniquity_n we_o shall_v find_v that_o of_o psal_n 25._o redeem_v israel_n o_o

jacob_n be_v purge_v and_o this_o be_v all_o the_o fruit_n to_o take_v away_o his_o sin_n when_o he_o make_v all_o the_o stone_n of_o the_o altar_n as_o chalk_v stone_n etc._n etc._n be_v trouble_n get_v its_o work_n it_o shall_v have_v the_o less_o ado_n when_o it_o have_v get_v its_o errand_n and_o therefore_o you_o that_o be_v fasht_v and_o vex_v folk_n with_o the_o cross_n toss_v with_o many_o trouble_n shall_v i_o say_v to_o you_o that_o you_o run_v long_o on_o little_a ground_n and_o to_o little_a purpose_n if_o you_o have_v more_o ado_n about_o sin_n you_o shall_v have_v less_o ado_n about_o trouble_n or_o your_o exercise_n about_o it_o shall_v soon_o be_v discuss_v therefore_o look_v on_o it_o as_o a_o mark_n of_o a_o true_a israelite_n that_o whatever_o exercise_n he_o have_v sin_n be_v the_o great_a exercise_n 2._o whereas_o folk_n may_v seem_v to_o have_v some_o exercise_n about_o sin_n but_o all_o that_o it_o amount_v to_o be_v to_o take_v with_o sin_n and_o grip_v to_o pardon_v mercy_n and_o this_o be_v very_o common_a in_o the_o visible_a church_n to_o name_v sin_n and_o to_o name_n pardon_n and_o upon_o the_o name_n of_o sin_n to_o make_v a_o present_a plaster_n of_o pardon_n and_o there_o be_v a_o end_n to_o obviate_v this_o mistake_n take_v this_o word_n that_o the_o pardon_n of_o sin_n and_o purge_v out_o of_o sin_n must_v go_v together_o hand_n in_o hand_n but_o in_o this_o mistake_v i_o not_o i_o will_v hurt_v none_o nor_o have_v i_o commission_n to_o hurt_v any_o you_o may_v remember_v that_o when_o i_o be_v on_o the_o four_o verse_n i_o tell_v you_o that_o the_o filthiness_n of_o sin_n remain_v after_o the_o pardon_n of_o sin_n but_o remember_v also_o that_o i_o then_o tell_v you_o god_n strike_v at_o the_o guilt_n and_o power_n of_o sin_n both_o at_o once_o that_o where_o christ_n come_v with_o the_o merit_n of_o his_o death_n he_o come_v also_o with_o the_o power_n of_o his_o death_n he_o lay_v the_o axe_n to_o the_o root_n of_o the_o tree_n but_o i_o will_v not_o be_v mistake_v in_o this_o either_o the_o pardon_a sinner_n get_v not_o the_o power_n of_o sin_n present_o subdue_v yea_o when_o he_o be_v pardon_v the_o power_n of_o sin_n may_v face_fw-mi he_o more_o than_o before_o and_o when_o sin_n be_v in_o the_o dead-throws_a it_o may_v vex_v he_o most_o with_o struggle_v many_o a_o sad_a bout_n may_v pardon_v sinner_n have_v alongst_o their_o life_n with_o their_o predominant_n but_o wherever_o god_n pardon_v sin_n he_o set_v folk_n to_o be_v in_o neck_n with_o sin_n and_o to_o have_v the_o dominion_n and_o power_n of_o sin_n subdue_v that_o sin_n reign_v not_o in_o their_o mortal_a body_n they_o and_o sin_n will_v not_o dwell_v in_o peace_n in_o one_o house_n they_o will_v not_o be_v take_v alive_a captive_n without_o a_o scart_z they_o oppose_v it_o and_o protest_v against_o the_o prevail_a of_o it_o they_o sin_v not_o with_o full_a consent_n and_o o_o but_o this_o
