and_o what_o our_o sin_n be_v or_o else_o we_o hardly_o apply_v the_o knowledge_n of_o they_o to_o ourselves_o object_n but_o some_o will_v object_v and_o say_v if_o sin_n be_v so_o vile_a in_o itself_o then_o why_o do_v not_o man_n see_v it_o answ._n to_o this_o i_o answer_v the_o reason_n why_o man_n see_v not_o their_o sin_n sin_n though_o it_o be_v so_o vile_a it_o be_v main_o upon_o these_o two_o ground_n first_o because_o we_o judge_v not_o of_o sin_n according_a to_o the_o word_n and_o verdict_n of_o it_o but_o either_o in_o regard_n of_o the_o profit_n that_o be_v therein_o or_o the_o pleasure_n that_o we_o expect_v there_o from_o the_o usurer_n look_v on_o his_o profit_n that_o come_v by_o sin_n and_o the_o adulterer_n his_o pleasure_n and_o judas_n see_v the_o money_n but_o he_o do_v not_o see_v the_o malice_n of_o his_o own_o heart_n nor_o the_o want_n of_o love_n to_o his_o master_n and_o this_o make_v he_o take_v up_o that_o course_n which_o he_o do_v but_o when_o he_o throw_v away_o his_o thirty_o penny_n the_o lord_n make_v he_o see_v the_o vileness_n of_o his_o sin_n it_o come_v clear_o to_o his_o sight_n and_o therefore_o he_o cry_v out_o i_o have_v sin_v in_o betray_v innocent_a blood_n as_o bribe_v blind_a the_o eye_n of_o the_o wise_a and_o pervert_v judgement_n so_o sin_n bribe_v the_o eye_n of_o the_o soul_n and_o therefore_o the_o tradseman_n see_v much_o profit_n come_v by_o cozen_v &_o false_a measure_n and_o so_o give_v way_n to_o himself_o therein_o but_o he_o see_v not_o the_o sin_n so_o the_o oppressor_n see_v the_o mortgage_n &_o pawn_n that_o come_v in_o but_o he_o can_v see_v his_o sin_n till_o he_o be_v lay_v on_o his_o death_n bed_n and_o then_o the_o lord_n show_v he_o all_o the_o wrong_n that_o he_o have_v do_v second_o another_o reason_n why_o we_o see_v not_o the_o vileness_n of_o sin_n be_v because_o we_o judge_v the_o nature_n of_o sin_n according_a to_o god_n patience_n towards_o we_o as_o thus_o a_o man_n commit_v a_o sin_n &_o be_v not_o plague_v for_o it_o and_o therefore_o he_o think_v god_n will_v not_o execute_v judgement_n upon_o he_o at_o all_o all_o thing_n continue_v a_o like_a say_v the_o wicked_a man_n as_o if_o he_o have_v say_v you_o talk_v of_o the_o wrath_n of_o god_n that_o shall_v be_v reveal_v from_o heaven_n against_o all_o ungodliness_n &_o where_o be_v the_o promise_n of_o his_o come_n do_v you_o not_o see_v that_o such_o a_o man_n be_v a_o oppressor_n &_o a_o profane_a person_n yet_o grow_v rich_a and_o thrive_v in_o the_o world_n and_o because_o god_n spare_v a_o wicked_a man_n still_o for_o the_o present_a therefore_o he_o think_v all_o be_v but_o word_n he_o shall_v be_v free_a from_o the_o punishment_n to_o come_v as_o the_o prophet_n say_v in_o the_o name_n of_o the_o lord_n these_o thing_n have_v thou_o do_v and_o i_o keep_v silence_n 50.2_o when_o thou_o be_v upon_o thy_o alebench_n and_o there_o thou_o do_v speak_v against_o holiness_n and_o purity_n and_o because_o i_o do_v bear_v yet_o and_o say_v nothing_o therefore_o thou_o speak_v wicked_o that_o i_o be_v even_o such_o a_o one_o as_o thyself_o the_o wicked_a man_n take_v god_n patience_n to_o be_v a_o kind_n of_o allowance_n to_o he_o in_o his_o sin_n as_o the_o wise_a man_n say_v because_o sentence_v against_o a_o evil_a work_n be_v not_o speedy_o execute_v 8.11_o therefore_o the_o heart_n of_o the_o son_n of_o man_n be_v whole_o set_v in_o they_o to_o do_v mischief_n &_o as_o the_o prophet_n say_v they_o call_v the_o proud_a happy_a 3.45_o you_o that_o work_v wickedness_n be_v set_v to_o do_v evil_a &_o they_o that_o tempt_v god_n be_v deliver_v as_o who_o shall_v say_v you_o say_v that_o the_o wrath_n of_o god_n be_v incense_v against_o swearer_n and_o drunkard_n and_o the_o like_a but_o we_o see_v they_o prosper_v and_o because_o they_o do_v prosper_v thus_o their_o heart_n be_v set_v to_o work_v wickedness_n but_o howsoever_o it_o be_v true_a the_o lord_n do_v sometime_o bear_v with_o wicked_a man_n the_o long_a god_n stay_v the_o great_a account_n they_o shall_v make_v and_o the_o heavy_a judgement_n they_o shall_v receive_v from_o god_n

thou_o sowe_v up_o my_o iniquity_n wicked_a man_n do_v treasure_n up_o vengeance_n against_o the_o day_n of_o the_o lord_n the_o profane_a person_n treasure_n up_o wrath_n and_o in_o the_o eighteen_o

thus_o seal_v up_o &_o settle_v and_o lay_v close_o to_o my_o heart_n and_o so_o god_n seal_v up_o a_o hundred_o thousand_o oath_n in_o one_o bag_n and_o a_o ocean_n of_o pride_n and_o mischief_n do_v to_o god_n people_n and_o church_n be_v barrel_v up_o in_o another_o and_o the_o lord_n shall_v one_o day_n lay_v all_o these_o upon_o thy_o neck_n who_o be_v able_a to_o bear_v all_o these_o sin_n now_o it_o fall_v out_o with_o a_o sinner_n as_o it_o be_v with_o a_o bankrupt_a debtor_n one_o man_n throw_v he_o into_o prison_n and_o when_o he_o be_v there_o every_o one_o come_v against_o he_o and_o so_o he_o shall_v never_o come_v out_o but_o die_v and_o rot_v in_o the_o prison_n so_o though_o the_o lord_n will_v not_o execute_v judgement_n on_o thou_o speedy_o yet_o in_o the_o end_n the_o

that_o he_o shall_v come_v home_o to_o your_o heart_n and_o drag_v out_o your_o corruption_n before_o the_o world_n then_o you_o have_v be_v wound_v for_o sin_n and_o be_v enemy_n against_o it_o as_o
