incorruption_n 2._o the_o hurt_n of_o it_o be_v prevent_v

commit_v great_a and_o gross_a sin_n if_o you_o labour_v to_o resist_v they_o and_o strive_v against_o they_o 2._o thou_o commit_v small_a sin_n with_o more_o security_n and_o less_o penitency_n then_o great_a sin_n when_o a_o man_n commit_v a_o great_a and_o scandalous_a sin_n he_o be_v sensible_a of_o what_o he_o have_v do_v and_o lay_v it_o to_o heart_n and_o be_v ashamed_a of_o it_o and_o must_v repent_v of_o it_o or_o else_o it_o will_v be_v a_o shame_n to_o he_o all_o his_o life_n long_o but_o he_o can_v venture_v upon_o a_o small_a sin_n &_o never_o be_v trouble_v at_o it_o nor_o grieve_v for_o it_o he_o can_v commit_v a_o small_a sin_n with_o a_o great_a deal_n of_o security_n &_o impenitency_n so_o that_o hereby_o they_o do_v the_o soul_n more_o wrong_a than_o great_a sin_n 3._o you_o be_v apt_a to_o run_v into_o small_a sin_n with_o more_o frequency_n than_o you_o commit_v great_a sin_n for_o they_o be_v so_o open_a to_o the_o reproof_n of_o the_o word_n and_o so_o obvious_a to_o the_o eye_n of_o all_o man_n that_o you_o can_v find_v opportunity_n to_o commit_v they_o so_o often_o whereas_o small_a sin_n you_o commit_v again_o and_o again_o and_o one_o day_n after_o another_o and_o a_o thousand_o time_n in_o one_o day_n and_o yet_o never_o take_v notice_n of_o they_o and_o therefore_o this_o may_v convince_v you_o that_o your_o exemption_n from_o great_a sin_n can_v be_v no_o sufficient_a ground_n to_o build_v your_o hope_n for_o heaven_n upon_o 4._o you_o that_o build_v your_o hope_n for_o heaven_n upon_o this_o ground_n because_o your_o sin_n be_v none_o of_o the_o great_a let_v i_o tell_v you_o that_o the_o small_a sin_n that_o ever_o you_o commit_v in_o all_o your_o life_n time_n without_o repentance_n on_o thy_o part_n and_o satisfaction_n on_o christ_n part_n will_v forever_o keep_v thy_o soul_n out_o of_o heaven_n if_o you_o repent_v peradventure_o you_o shall_v be_v pardon_v the_o small_a sin_n can_v be_v forgive_v without_o the_o blood_n of_o christ_n to_o wash_v they_o away_o for_o without_o the_o shed_n of_o blood_n there_o be_v no_o remission_n and_o thus_o i_o have_v show_v the_o insufficiency_n and_o deceitfulness_n of_o the_o first_o prop_n that_o wicked_a man_n do_v build_v their_o hope_n for_o heaven_n upon_o we_o come_v now_o to_o the_o second_o 2._o but_o say_v a_o wicked_a man_n i_o have_v hear_v and_o read_v of_o those_o that_o have_v commit_v far_o great_a and_o more_o cry_v sin_n then_o ever_o i_o have_v be_v guilty_a of_o and_o yet_o they_o hope_v for_o heaven_n and_o be_v go_v to_o heaven_n and_o therefore_o why_o shall_v not_o i_o hope_v for_o heaven_n as_o well_o as_o they_o i_o read_v of_o david_n that_o commit_v adultery_n and_o of_o noah_n drunkenness_n and_o paul_n persecute_v christ_n and_o peter_n deny_v of_o he_o and_o divers_z other_o and_o yet_o these_o man_n be_v go_v to_o heaven_n and_o why_o may_v not_o i_o as_o well_o as_o they_o concern_v this_o plea_n of_o wicked_a man_n i_o shall_v give_v you_o these_o three_o thing_n by_o way_n of_o answer_n 1._o you_o that_o make_v this_o a_o ground_n for_o your_o hope_n you_o do_v pervert_v the_o end_n for_o which_o god_n have_v record_v the_o example_n of_o his_o servant_n in_o scripture_n for_o god_n do_v not_o record_v they_o there_o to_o be_v a_o provocation_n to_o thou_o to_o go_v on_o presumptuous_o in_o sin_v against_o he_o but_o mere_o to_o be_v a_o restraint_n and_o caveat_n to_o keep_v thou_o from_o fall_v into_o the_o same_o sin_n which_o they_o do_v if_o noah_n and_o lot_n and_o david_n and_o peter_n etc._n etc._n such_o holy_a and_o excellent_a man_n as_o these_o have_v their_o fail_n and_o do_v commit_v great_a and_o gross_a sin_n oh_o than_o let_v i_o take_v heed_n lest_o i_o be_o overtake_v and_o fall_v into_o the_o same_o sin_n this_o be_v the_o use_n that_o we_o shall_v make_v of_o the_o fail_n of_o other_o man_n as_o in_o 1_o cor._n 10._o 11._o all_o 11._o thing_n be_v write_v for_o our_o example_n to_o admonish_v we_o upon_o who_o the_o end_n of_o the_o world_n be_v come_v 16._o and_o in_o 1_o tim._n 1._o 16._o say_v the_o apostle_n jobtain_v mercy_n that_o i_o may_v be_v a_o example_n to_o all_o that_o shall_v hereafter_o believe_v in_o jesus_n christ._n 2._o you_o that_o make_v the_o sin_n of_o other_o man_n that_o have_v obtain_v mercy_n to_o be_v a_o ground_n to_o build_v your_o hope_n of_o heaven_n upon_o let_v i_o ask_v you_o this_o question_n you_o that_o do_v fall_v into_o the_o same_o sin_n with_o noah_n or_o david_n or_o peter_n do_v you_o repent_v with_o they_o too_o it_o be_v true_a noah_n do_v fall_v once_o into_o the_o sin_n of_o drunkenness_n but_o yet_o the_o scripture_n record_v this_o of_o he_o that_o he_o be_v a_o upright_a man_n in_o his_o generation_n and_o so_o david_n though_o he_o do_v once_o defile_v his_o bed_n yet_o afterward_o he_o repent_v of_o it_o and_o make_v his_o couch_n to_o swim_v with_o tear_n for_o it_o so_o peter_n after_o he_o have_v deny_v christ_n he_o go_v out_o and_o weep_v bitter_o for_o it_o but_o i_o say_v what_o be_v all_o this_o to_o thou_o that_o do_v make_v a_o trade_n of_o sin_n and_o fall_v into_o gross_a sin_n every_o day_n time_n after_o time_n and_o yet_o never_o mourn_v and_o grieve_v for_o they_o as_o david_n do_v for_o his_o sin_n nor_o weep_v bitter_o for_o they_o with_o peter_n what_o plea_n can_v this_o be_v for_o thou_o to_o encourage_v thou_o to_o hope_v for_o heaven_n 3._o know_v this_o further_a that_o a_o godly_a man_n may_v fall_v into_o the_o same_o sin_n that_o other_o fall_v into_o for_o the_o matter_n of_o they_o but_o not_o for_o the_o manner_n now_o it_o be_v the_o manner_n of_o fall_v into_o sin_n and_o not_o the_o matter_n of_o it_o that_o dam_n a_o man_n it_o be_v true_a noah_n do_v fall_v into_o the_o sin_n of_o drunkenness_n but_o i_o shall_v distinguish_v noah_n from_o any_o wicked_a drunkard_n in_o the_o world_n and_o that_o in_o these_o five_o particular_a consideration_n as_o 1._o noah_n be_v drink_v but_o it_o be_v before_o he_o do_v know_v that_o wine_n will_v make_v he_o drink_v and_o if_o you_o read_v the_o story_n you_o shall_v find_v that_o there_o be_v never_o any_o wine_n drink_v till_o that_o time_n for_o noah_n do_v then_o begin_v to_o be_v a_o husbandman_n and_o do_v plant_v a_o vineyard_n but_o now_o there_o be_v never_o a_o one_o of_o you_o but_o do_v very_o well_o know_v that_o wine_n and_o strong_a beer_n and_o the_o like_a will_v intoxicate_a you_o and_o yet_o you_o will_v not_o refrain_v from_o excess_n in_o drink_v there_o be_v a_o great_a deal_n of_o difference_n between_o you_o and_o noah_n 2._o noah_n be_v drink_v but_o he_o do_v not_o proclaim_v his_o drunkenness_n but_o the_o text_n say_v he_o go_v into_o his_o tent_n and_o sleep_v he_o be_v ashamed_a 9_o of_o what_o he_o have_v do_v but_o now_o you_o proclaim_v your_o sin_n and_o swear_v and_o stare_v and_o commit_v many_o other_o sin_n in_o your_o drunkenness_n 3._o it_o be_v true_a noah_n be_v drink_v but_o you_o never_o read_v that_o he_o be_v drink_v any_o more_o than_o once_o but_o you_o be_v drink_v again_o and_o again_o one_o day_n after_o another_o 4._o though_o he_o do_v once_o fall_v into_o this_o sin_n yet_o for_o the_o ordinary_a course_n and_o practice_v of_o his_o life_n he_o be_v a_o upright_a man_n in_o his_o generation_n whereas_o it_o may_v be_v your_o ordinary_a and_o frequent_a practice_n be_v drunkenness_n 5._o noah_n be_v a_o age_a man_n and_o in_o this_o regard_n his_o age_n may_v call_v for_o more_o wine_n and_o strong_a liquor_n to_o cheer_v up_o his_o spirit_n then_o young_a people_n do_v want_v so_o that_o all_o these_o consideration_n do_v little_a mitigate_v and_o allay_v noah_n fault_n though_o it_o be_v not_o whole_o excusable_a an_o so_o likewise_o david_n he_o commit_v the_o sin_n of_o adultery_n he_o wallow_v in_o a_o unclean_a bed_n but_o yet_o his_o sin_n likewise_o may_v admit_v of_o some_o extenuation_n and_o excuse_n as_o 1._o david_n when_o he_o come_v up_o to_o the_o house_n top_n he_o little_o dream_v to_o have_v see_v a_o naked_a woman_n there_o which_o be_v a_o very_a great_a temptation_n to_o he_o but_o it_o may_v be_v some_o of_o you_o do_v seek_v occasion_n and_o contrive_v and_o plot_v how_o you_o may_v commit_v such_o a_o sin_n 2._o david_n do_v fall_v into_o this_o sin_n neither_o but_o once_o you_o shall_v common_o find_v that_o godly_a man_n fall_v into_o great_a sin_n but_o once_o they_o take_v warning_n by_o the_o first_o transgression_n and_o seldom_o fall_v into_o the_o same_o sin_n again_o but_o now_o it_o may_v be_v
