he_o will_v be_v content_a to_o carry_v his_o heart_n and_o that_o furious_o against_o sin_n because_o it_o bring_v judgement_n and_o plague_n but_o thus_o far_o a_o hypocrite_n may_v go_v a_o judas_n a_o cain_n a_o saul_n cain_n will_v say_v his_o sin_n be_v great_a than_o can_v be_v forgive_v because_o he_o have_v kill_v his_o brother_n but_o he_o can_v never_o see_v his_o sin_n so_o vile_a because_o it_o do_v separate_v he_o from_o god_n thus_o you_o see_v how_o god_n enter_v the_o blow_n and_o follow_v it_o home_o upon_o the_o soul_n but_o yet_o for_o all_o this_o god_n may_v leave_v

of_o it_o second_o it_o be_v restless_a in_o importune_v the_o lord_n for_o mercy_n and_o pardon_n for_o it_o first_o the_o heart_n be_v most_o of_o all_o weary_a of_o the_o burden_n of_o sin_n as_o

of_o the_o vileness_n of_o sin_n &_o plague_n of_o sin_n this_o wearisomeness_n of_o the_o soul_n which_o follow_v the_o weight_n of_o sin_n make_v itself_o know_v in_o these_o three_o particular_n
of_o sin_n as_o it_o be_v sin_n he_o can_v lay_v aside_o his_o sorrow_n so_o long_o as_o sin_n prevail_v and_o get_v head_n against_o he_o and_o dog_n he_o up_o and_o down_o nothing_o will_v content_v

every_o man_n by_o nature_n do_v entertain_v sin_n as_o his_o god_n and_o seek_v and_o love_v that_o most_o of_o all_o himself_o and_o his_o sin_n be_v his_o god_n in_o this_o case_n it_o be_v his_o

still_o they_o will_v have_v their_o sin_n and_o the_o offer_n of_o christ_n and_o grace_n lie_v in_o the_o dust_n the_o adulterer_n will_v have_v his_o quean_n and_o the_o drunkard_n will_v have_v his_o cup_n &_o they_o will_v not_o suffer_v the_o word_n to_o pluck_v away_o their_o corruption_n but_o they_o will_v have_v they_o though_o they_o be_v damn_v for_o they_o what_o do_v this_o argue_n but_o that_o sin_n be_v their_o god_n nay_o it_o be_v clear_a not_o only_o in_o palpable_a reason_n but_o the_o scripture_n be_v evident_a this_o way_n it_o be_v the_o match_n christ_n offer_v to_o the_o young_a man_n 19.21.22_o if_o he_o will_v sell_v all_o and_o follow_v he_o he_o shall_v have_v treasure_n in_o heaven_n he_o be_v covetous_a and_o this_o be_v fair_a offer_n for_o a_o little_a

you_o can_v serve_v god_n and_o mammon_n if_o the_o adulterer_n will_v have_v his_o quean_n than_o he_o must_v forsake_v the_o lord_n and_o if_o he_o will_v not_o part_v with_o his_o lust_n nor_o
