of_o repentance_n viz_o that_o he_o crave_v pardon_n for_o his_o fault_n and_o that_o be_v the_o next_o point_n that_o with_o confession_n of_o our_o sin_n doct._n 4_o we_o must_v always_o join_v request_n unto_o god_n for_o the_o pardon_v of_o the_o same_o so_o do_v david_n in_o this_o place_n as_o also_o psal_n 9_o ask_v pardon_n must_v be_v join_v with_o confession_n luk._n 18.13_o daniel_n 9.19_o nehem._n 9_o 51_o so_o do_v the_o publican_n lord_n be_v merciful_a unto_o i_o a_o sinner_n and_o in_o a_o word_n so_o do_v daniel_n nehemia_n and_o the_o rest_n of_o god_n servant_n as_o may_v be_v see_v in_o their_o several_a confession_n and_o for_o encouragement_n unto_o the_o performance_n of_o this_o duty_n we_o have_v 1_o first_o the_o name_n of_o god_n which_o be_v to_o pardon_v

pardon_n for_o he_o be_v call_v jesus_n because_o it_o be_v his_o office_n to_o save_v his_o people_n from_o their_o sin_n this_o doctrine_n serve_v first_o for_o the_o confutation_n of_o the_o papist_n use_v 1_o who_o clog_n man_n conscience_n and_o lay_v on_o they_o heavy_a and_o yet_o unnecessary_a burden_n enjoin_v they_o if_o they_o will_v get_v remission_n of_o their_o sin_n to_o go_v in_o pilgrimage_n to_o this_o or_o that_o place_n to_o pray_v to_o this_o or_o that_o saint_n to_o make_v some_o satisfaction_n to_o god_n &c_n &c_n as_o if_o they_o shall_v find_v mercy_n any_o where_n rather_o than_o by_o seek_v it_o at_o god_n hand_n and_o they_o speed_v according_o for_o whereas_o david_n go_v unto_o the_o lord_n for_o favour_n and_o obtain_v it_o they_o have_v still_o unsettle_a heart_n and_o restless_a conscience_n or_o hard_a heart_n and_o benumb_a conscience_n never_o get_v any_o true_a peace_n or_o sound_a comfort_n in_o the_o assurance_n of_o their_o reconciliation_n with_o the_o lord_n 2_o second_o use_v 2_o for_o reproof_n of_o those_o who_o offence_n be_v very_o many_o and_o very_o grievous_a and_o they_o see_v and_o acknowledge_v so_o much_o and_o yet_o will_v they_o not_o be_v so_o presumptuous_a as_o they_o term_v it_o to_o expect_v pardon_n for_o the_o same_o indeed_o they_o think_v it_o fit_a for_o such_o holy_a man_n as_o david_n be_v to_o ask_v and_o look_v for_o mercy_n from_o the_o lord_n but_o for_o themselves_o they_o be_v such_o heinous_a offender_n that_o they_o dare_v not_o do_v so_o neither_o can_v they_o conceive_v any_o hope_n to_o speed_v well_o if_o they_o shall_v do_v so_o but_o why_o shall_v we_o put_v in_o condition_n where_o god_n do_v not_o and_o as_o it_o be_v interline_v god_n covenant_n do_v not_o he_o promise_v without_o any_o exception_n 1.9_o 1._o joh._n 1.9_o that_o if_o we_o confess_v our_o sin_n he_o be_v faithful_a and_o just_a to_o forgive_v we_o our_o sin_n and_o to_o cleanse_v we_o from_o all_o unrighteousness_n it_o be_v therefore_o a_o great_a fault_n to_o think_v that_o any_o have_v more_o abundance_n of_o sin_n than_o god_n have_v of_o mercy_n to_o forgive_v it_o three_o

that_o we_o may_v attain_v unto_o let_v we_o use_v these_o two_o help_n follow_v pardon_n how_o we_o may_v attain_v to_o earnestness_n in_o ask_v pardon_n which_o david_n example_n direct_v we_o unto_o first_o let_v we_o labour_v that_o our_o heart_n may_v thorough_o smite_v we_o and_o that_o our_o conscience_n may_v evermore_o check_v we_o when_o we_o do_v offend_v for_o wheresoever_o there_o be_v the_o check_n of_o conscience_n it_o will_v make_v the_o party_n grow_v not_o only_o to_o hearty_a confession_n but_o also_o to_o earnest_a petition_n for_o grace_n and_o favour_n the_o great_a therefore_o be_v their_o folly_n who_o when_o the_o lord_n do_v strike_v their_o drowsy_a conscience_n for_o any_o wickedness_n commit_v by_o they_o will_v present_o betake_v themselves_o to_o merry_a company_n &_o so_o by_o jest_v and_o laugh_v and_o drink_v and_o sport_v seek_v to_o drive_v away_o their_o melancholy_n fit_a as_o they_o call_v it_o but_o god_n meet_v with_o they_o according_o for_o when_o they_o will_v not_o take_v benefit_n by_o that_o merciful_a warning_n which_o he_o give_v they_o they_o common_o fall_v to_o marvelous_a hardness_n of_o heart_n and_o after_o break_v forth_o into_o some_o horrible_a sin_n which_o overwhelm_v they_o with_o shame_n and_o confusion_n let_v we_o therefore_o observe_v when_o the_o lord_n smite_v our_o heart_n and_o with_o peter_n get_v out_o of_o company_n speedy_o and_o lament_v bitter_o that_o so_o we_o may_v turn_v the_o rebuke_n of_o our_o soul_n into_o holy_a request_n that_o the_o lord_n will_v for_o give_v we_o and_o not_o enter_v into_o judgement_n with_o we_o for_o our_o grievous_a provocation_n against_o his_o majesty_n second_o when_o sin_n be_v so_o odious_a unto_o we_o that_o our_o heart_n do_v condemn_v we_o for_o it_o then_o let_v we_o strive_v to_o be_v persuade_v that_o it_o be_v pardonable_a yea_o and_o that_o it_o shall_v be_v pardon_v unto_o we_o that_o though_o we_o deserve_v to_o

with_o his_o own_o child_n this_o anchor_n of_o hope_n we_o have_v need_v still_o to_o hold_v fast_o by_o for_o if_o we_o be_v not_o in_o some_o good_a measure_n resolve_v that_o we_o shall_v find_v
