person_n there_o be_v two_o thing_n to_o be_v consider_v first_o a_o persuasion_n of_o mercy_n &_o sure_a confidence_n of_o obtain_v compassion_n if_o he_o do_v return_v imply_v in_o the_o word_n father_n as_o if_o he_o shall_v have_v say_v truth_n it_o be_v o_o father_n as_o my_o life_n &_o work_n have_v be_v towards_o thou_o i_o do_v not_o deserve_v to_o be_v thy_o son_n as_o in_o the_o word_n follow_v may_v appear_v but_o yet_o never_o the_o less_o i_o be_o persuade_v that_o though_o i_o have_v fail_v of_o my_o duty_n towards_o thou_o yet_o thou_o will_v not_o fail_v of_o thy_o love_n to_o i_o &_o although_o there_o be_v no_o desert_n of_o mercy_n in_o i_o yet_o i_o know_v there_o be_v compassion_n for_o seek_v for_o with_o thou_o and_o this_o be_v the_o first_o ground_n the_o penitent_a person_n lay_v to_o obtain_v mercy_n second_o the_o penitent_a person_n confess_v his_o sin_n whereby_o he_o have_v offend_v his_o father_n for_o there_o must_v be_v a_o confession_n that_o as_o the_o child_n be_v to_o be_v well_o persuade_v of_o the_o love_n of_o his_o father_n so_o he_o must_v be_v ill_o persuade_v of_o himself_o in_o respect_n of_o his_o sin_n and_o therefore_o he_o say_v i_o have_v sin_v against_o heaven_n and_o before_o thou_o that_o be_v against_o the_o god_n of_o heaven_n and_o against_o thou_o my_o natural_a father_n and_o so_o i_o have_v break_v both_o the_o table_n of_o the_o commandment_n and_o he_o confess_v also_o he_o be_v not_o worthy_a to_o be_v call_v a_o son_n to_o so_o godly_a a_o father_n or_o to_o receive_v mercy_n that_o be_v so_o full_a of_o impiety_n make_v himself_o vile_a and_o base_a in_o his_o own_o eye_n that_o he_o may_v be_v high_o esteem_v in_o his_o father_n eye_n which_o be_v the_o first_o part_n now_o for_o the_o second_o part_n of_o this_o text_n which_o be_v the_o promotion_n the_o penitent_a sinner_n shall_v be_v exalt_v unto_o set_v down_o in_o the_o 22._o &_o 23._o verse_n render_v a_o reason_n wherefore_o the_o father_n do_v thus_o promote_v he_o the_o promotion_n set_v down_o be_v this_o the_o father_n see_v his_o riotous_a and_o unthriftie_a son_n return_v home_o with_o a_o break_a and_o humble_a heart_n and_o with_o a_o resolution_n to_o become_v a_o new_a man_n and_o rather_o desire_v his_o father_n love_n then_o his_o good_n he_o present_o offer_v himself_o to_o his_o child_n &_o before_o he_o can_v ask_v for_o his_o need_n he_o command_v his_o servant_n to_o bring_v forth_o such_o thing_n as_o his_o penitent_a son_n want_v and_o to_o give_v it_o before_o he_o do_v crave_v it_o for_o the_o father_n see_v his_o son_n so_o well_o clothe_v with_o humility_n and_o with_o godly_a remorse_n for_o his_o former_a life_n within_o he_o will_v not_o reject_v he_o though_o he_o come_v poor_a and_o ragged_a outward_a but_o call_v for_o the_o best_a robe_n to_o cover_v he_o the_o comparison_n be_v take_v from_o a_o king_n and_o a_o princelike_a child_n who_o manner_n be_v to_o wear_v robe_n and_o before_o the_o son_n can_v ask_v for_o apparel_n which_o he_o stand_v in_o need_n of_o the_o father_n give_v he_o a_o robe_n to_o put_v on_o for_o see_v he_o have_v make_v himself_o base_a in_o his_o own_o eye_n he_o will_v clothe_v he_o royal_o that_o he_o may_v seem_v precious_a in_o his_o father_n eye_n and_o put_v a_o ring_n on_o his_o hand_n that_o be_v he_o will_v not_o only_o give_v he_o thing_n for_o necessity_n but_o also_o to_o adorn_v &_o beautify_v he_o &_o as_o the_o apostle_n say_v upon_o our_o uncomely_a part_n he_o will_v put_v more_o comeliness_n on_o and_o shoe_n on_o his_o foot_n and_o whereas_o he_o come_v barefooted_a to_o his_o father_n he_o command_v shoe_n to_o be_v put_v on_o his_o foot_n to_o keep_v and_o preserve_v they_o from_o thorn_n and_o stone_n that_o may_v annoy_v &_o hurt_v they_o and_o bring_v the_o fat_a calf_n &c_n &c_n and_o whereas_o he_o come_v with_o a_o languish_a stomach_n for_o want_n of_o meat_n for_o before_o he_o have_v be_v feed_v among_o swine_n now_o he_o will_v refresh_v he_o with_o a_o tender_a calf_n with_o pleasant_a and_o comfortable_a meat_n and_o let_v we_o eat_v &_o be_v merry_a here_o be_v cause_n of_o mirth_n &_o rejoice_v on_o both_o side_n first_o on_o the_o father_n side_n that_o have_v lose_v a_o untoward_o son_n and_o now_o have_v find_v a_o obedient_a son_n that_o go_v from_o he_o dead_a in_o his_o sin_n and_o return_v quicken_v unto_o the_o life_n of_o grace_n that_o depart_v impenitent_a and_o return_v humble_v in_o all_o which_o there_o be_v cause_n of_o mirth_n and_o this_o cause_n the_o father_n render_v himself_o to_o his_o elder_a son_n for_o my_o son_n be_v dead_a and_o be_v now_o alive_a he_o be_v lose_v but_o be_v now_o find_v etc._n etc._n second_o there_o be_v cause_n of_o rejoice_v in_o the_o son_n because_o he_o go_v from_o his_o father_n a_o dead_a man_n and_o now_o he_o come_v to_o his_o father_n a_o live_a man_n he_o go_v from_o he_o stubborn_a proud_a disobedient_a he_o return_v meek_a penitent_a and_o obedient_a in_o truth_n he_o depart_v from_o he_o a_o child_n of_o belia●_n and_o return_n to_o he_o the_o child_n of_o god_n in_o all_o which_o there_o be_v great_a cause_n of_o joy_n on_o both_o side_n and_o so_o much_o for_o the_o somme_fw-fr and_o order_n of_o these_o word_n the_o drift_n of_o the_o parable_n be_v that_o if_o a_o godly_a father_n have_v a_o stubborn_a and_o ungodly_a son_n that_o have_v depart_v from_o he_o and_o spend_v his_o portion_n among_o riotous_a and_o lewd_a companion_n yet_o if_o
