52.2_o isai_n 52.2_o he_o be_v alienate_v and_o estrange_v from_o god_n and_o become_v the_o child_n of_o wrath_n as_o s._n paul_n speak_v 4.18_o ephes_n 2.3_o and_o 4.18_o and_o be_v make_v like_o

begin_v to_o renew_v this_o fellowship_n to_o recover_v this_o image_n and_o to_o be_v reconcile_v to_o god_n therefore_o i_o call_v it_o a_o turn_n again_o to_o god_n and_o a_o change_n of_o the_o condition_n 1._o reason_n 1._o 2_o i_o say_v it_o be_v of_o the_o whole_a life_n or_o the_o whole_a man_n and_o from_o all_o sin_n because_o one_o sin_n separate_v from_o god_n as_o well_o as_o many_o

but_o hypocrisy_n and_o pharisaical_a and_o the_o inward_a can_v be_v turn_v but_o the_o outward_a will_v follow_v neither_o can_v any_o man_n forsake_v one_o sin_n to_o be_v at_o one_o and_o reconcile_v to_o god_n which_o will_v not_o be_v willing_a and_o careful_a to_o leave_v off_o and_o forsake_v all_o now_o the_o use_n of_o this_o be_v double_a 1_o use_v 1_o first_o if_o repentance_n be_v a_o turn_n and_o such_o a_o turn_n as_o be_v speak_v of_o than_o many_o man_n deceive_v themselves_o in_o their_o judgement_n of_o repentance_n and_o think_v that_o to_o be_v it_o which_o be_v

never_o endeavour_n to_o turn_v some_o think_v repentance_n be_v only_o a_o sorrow_n and_o sigh_v when_o they_o be_v by_o any_o mean_v check_v and_o reproove_v
by_o man_n or_o afflict_v by_o god_n but_o then_o why_o shall_v not_o carnal_a and_o worldly_a sorrow_n be_v repentance_n when_o carnal_a man_n mourn_v for_o the_o loss_n of_o wife_n or_o child_n or_o
