christ_n it_o be_v not_o give_v we_o to_o keep_v exact_o for_o that_o be_v impossible_a it_o be_v impossible_a to_o keep_v it_o through_o the_o weakness_n of_o the_o flesh_n rom._n 8.3_o the_o law_n

a_o stir_v up_o of_o that_o sorrow_n so_o likewise_o you_o find_v this_o in_o the_o feast_n in_o more_o place_n than_o one_o that_o when_o they_o come_v to_o keep_v the_o feast_n at_o that_o time_n

be_v not_o enough_o for_o you_o to_o have_v thankful_a heart_n to_o have_v heart_n prepare_v for_o these_o thing_n in_o the_o habit_n but_o you_o must_v then_o rejoice_v for_o it_o be_v the_o season_n of_o it_o 3.11_o for_o every_o thing_n be_v good_a in_o its_o season_n and_o the_o lord_n require_v it_o at_o such_o a_o time_n therefore_o thus_o think_v with_o thyself_o whensoever_o thou_o come_v to_o receive_v the_o sacrament_n this_o be_v the_o time_n that_o the_o grace_n i_o have_v the_o habitual_a grace_n must_v be_v new_o point_v as_o it_o be_v they_o must_v be_v new_o whet_v new_o

be_v all_o act_v in_o your_o heart_n and_o this_o be_v one_o thing_n that_o it_o be_v not_o enough_o for_o a_o man_n to_o be_v in_o christ_n to_o take_v the_o privilege_n that_o belong_v to_o he_o but_o there_o be_v a_o certain_a qualification_n require_v that_o must_v be_v do_v at_o that_o time_n when_o the_o covenant_n be_v renew_v and_o this_o be_v one_o to_o have_v the_o grace_n thus_o

for_o it_o be_v a_o point_n of_o much_o use_n when_o they_o commit_v sin_n against_o god_n the_o guilt_n of_o their_o sin_n be_v retain_v though_o they_o be_v within_o the_o covenant_n and_o be_v not_o cut_v off_o from_o christ_n but_o be_v in_o he_o yet_o i_o say_v when_o they_o have_v sin_v the_o guilt_n of_o that_o sin_n continue_v and_o be_v continue_v till_o they_o be_v reconcile_v and_o

have_v not_o be_v a_o new_a thing_n if_o there_o have_v not_o be_v a_o thing_n do_v at_o that_o time_n and_o therefore_o it_o intimate_v so_o much_o that_o before_o his_o sin_n be_v not_o forgive_v that_o be_v the_o lord_n be_v angry_a with_o he_o you_o must_v know_v therefore_o this_o that_o when_o a_o regenerate_a man_n sin_n there_o be_v only_o a_o particular_a guilt_n the_o universal_a guilt_n of_o sin_n return_v not_o for_o that_o will_v cut_v he_o quite_o off_o that_o will_v put_v he_o absolute_o into_o the_o state_n of_o damnation_n but_o it_o be_v a_o particular_a guilt_n for_o every_o particular_a sin_n that_o be_v even_o as_o a_o father_n be_v please_v well_o with_o his_o son_n and_o know_v he_o to_o be_v his_o son_n he_o be_v affect_v to_o he_o as_o to_o his_o son_n yet_o

the_o father_n have_v a_o hundred_o gift_n to_o bestow_v on_o he_o yet_o he_o shall_v have_v none_o of_o they_o till_o he_o have_v reconcile_v himself_o so_o think_v with_o thyself_o if_o any_o sin_n lie_v in_o the_o way_n when_o thou_o come_v to_o partake_v of_o this_o privilege_n to_o receive_v the_o sacrament_n or_o when_o thou_o come_v to_o call_v on_o god_n for_o any_o particular_a mercy_n or_o to_o have_v any_o request_n grant_v think_v then_o with_o thyself_o such_o a_o sin_n i_o commit_v i_o must_v humble_v myself_o for_o it_o i_o must_v labour_v to_o make_v reconciliation_n labour_v to_o have_v this_o take_v away_o that_o my_o father_n may_v be_v reconcile_v to_o i_o then_o come_v and_o take_v the_o privilege_n for_o now_o it_o belong_v unto_o i_o therefore_o there_o be_v a_o
