that_o music_n in_o god_n service_n though_o it_o may_v please_v the_o ear_n of_o man_n yet_o it_o be_v unpleasing_a in_o the_o ear_n of_o god_n and_o that_o the_o best_a music_n that_o will_v please_v god_n be_v the_o sigh_n and_o groan_n of_o a_o bleed_a heart_n for_o sin_n this_o we_o all_o know_v and_o therefore_o god_n will_v not_o wink_v at_o our_o superstition_n the_o time_n of_o ignorance_n god_n wink_v at_o but_o now_o under_o the_o gospel_n he_o call_v you_o all_o to_o repent_v for_o we_o know_v that_o repentance_n be_v as_o necessary_a as_o heaven_n and_o that_o it_o be_v one_o of_o the_o first_o principle_n of_o the_o doctrine_n of_o christ_n heb._n 6._o 1_o 2._o and_o that_o it_o be_v one_o of_o the_o vital_a part_n of_o a_o christian_a without_o which_o a_o christian_n be_v but_o a_o carcase_n of_o a_o christian_a as_o the_o soul_n be_v necessary_a to_o the_o life_n of_o the_o body_n so_o repentance_n be_v necessary_a to_o the_o life_n of_o a_o christian_a it_o be_v as_o the_o very_a soul_n of_o a_o christian_a a_o christian_a be_v no_o true_a christian_n without_o it_o we_o know_v this_o and_o therefore_o god_n will_v not_o wink_v at_o a_o impenitent_a sinner_n in_o these_o day_n we_o know_v that_o there_o be_v but_o two_o way_n to_o heaven_n either_o by_o innoceney_n or_o by_o penitency_n and_o he_o that_o will_v look_v to_o go_v to_o heaven_n by_o innocency_n must_v find_v a_o ladder_n by_o himself_o to_o climb_v to_o heaven_n by_o there_o be_v no_o way_n to_o heaven_n since_o the_o fall_n of_o adam_n but_o by_o repentance_n and_o therefore_o tertullian_n say_v he_o be_v nulli_fw-la rei_fw-la natus_fw-la nisi_fw-la paenitentiae_fw-la bear_v for_o nothing_o else_o but_o to_o repent_v this_o we_o all_o know_v and_o therefore_o not_o to_o repent_v now_o be_v a_o sin_n that_o god_n will_v never_o suffer_v beside_o this_o 2._o we_o have_v the_o help_n of_o god_n spirit_n for_o the_o ministry_n of_o the_o help_n gospel_n be_v the_o ministry_n of_o the_o spirit_n and_o god_n have_v promise_v to_o pour_v out_o his_o spirit_n upon_o all_o flesh_n in_o the_o time_n of_o the_o gospel_n and_o therefore_o god_n look_v we_o shall_v be_v more_o spiritual_a in_o his_o worship_n then_o the_o jew_n be_v and_o not_o to_o repent_v under_o the_o gospel_n be_v not_o only_o to_o sin_n against_o the_o minister_n but_o it_o be_v to_o sin_n against_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n now_o the_o sum_n of_o all_o the_o first_o argument_n be_v this_o that_o he_o that_o live_v under_o the_o gospel_n and_o live_v impenitent_o sin_n against_o the_o birth_n death_n resurrection_n and_o exaltation_n of_o jesus_n christ_n sin_n against_o the_o great_a argument_n that_o god_n can_v use_v to_o persuade_v he_o to_o repent_v sin_n against_o the_o great_a help_n that_o god_n can_v afford_v he_o to_o repent_v he_o be_v a_o sinner_n leave_v without_o all_o excuse_n he_o be_v a_o monster_n in_o christianity_n and_o the_o hot_a place_n in_o hell_n be_v too_o cold_a for_o he_o all_o this_o be_v paul_n reason_n and_o it_o be_v common_a to_o we_o with_o the_o athenian_n but_o now_o give_v i_o leave_v to_o set_v before_o you_o england_n reason_n why_o reason_n god_n will_v have_v we_o now_o especial_o to_o repent_v a_o reason_n proper_a to_o england_n in_o regard_n of_o the_o sad_a condition_n that_o england_n be_v now_o in_o and_o the_o reason_n be_v this_o because_o these_o be_v time_n of_o war_n and_o bloodshed_n this_o be_v the_o day_n of_o jacob_n trouble_n and_o therefore_o god_n do_v especial_o call_v for_o repentance_n in_o these_o day_n this_o appear_v joel_n 2._o 12._o therefore_o also_o now_o say_v the_o lord_n turn_v unto_o i_o speak_v of_o time_n of_o famine_n as_o some_o think_v or_o time_n of_o war_n as_o other_o think_v therefore_o now_o turn_v unto_o i_o with_o all_o your_o heart_n with_o fast_v weep_a and_o with_o mourning_n and_o there_o be_v four_o reason_n that_o england_n do_v present_a before_o time_n you_o why_o that_o these_o miserable_a time_n shall_v persuade_v you_o to_o repentance_n more_o than_o ever_o before_o the_o first_o be_v because_o god_n do_v now_o use_v such_o a_o argument_n to_o persuade_v we_o to_o repentance_n the_o like_a to_o which_o he_o never_o yet_o do_v use_v since_o england_n be_v england_n god_n argument_n be_v this_o repont_n o_o you_o lord_n and_o commons_o or_o else_o i_o will_v give_v you_o over_o to_o beggary_n repent_v 1._o or_o else_o i_o will_v give_v you_o over_o to_o popery_n i_o will_v give_v you_o over_o to_o slavery_n repent_v or_o else_o i_o will_v plunder_v your_o house_n i_o will_v give_v up_o your_o wife_n and_o daughter_n to_o be_v deflower_v repent_v or_o else_o i_o will_v burn_v your_o city_n repent_v or_o else_o i_o will_v remove_v the_o gospel_n from_o you_o and_o not_o to_o repent_v when_o god_n use_v such_o argument_n be_v a_o sin_n that_o god_n will_v hardly_o pardon_v as_o you_o shall_v read_v in_o the_o 22._o of_o isaiah_n 12_o 13_o 14._o in_o that_o day_n the_o lord_n call_v for_o weep_v and_o mourn_a speak_v of_o a_o time_n of_o war_n and_o baldness_n and_o sackcloth_n etc._n etc._n but_o behold_v joy_n and_o slay_v of_o ox_n etc._n etc._n and_o it_o be_v reveal_v in_o my_o ear_n etc._n etc._n sure_o this_o iniquity_n shall_v not_o be_v purge_v from_o you_o till_o you_o die_v that_o be_v it_o shall_v hardly_o ever_o be_v pardon_v and_o then_o second_o because_o god_n have_v now_o take_v away_o all_o those_o hindrance_n and_o 2._o impediment_n that_o do_v heretofore_o lie_v in_o your_o way_n to_o hinder_v you_o from_o repentance_n and_o therefore_o now_o god_n especial_o call_v you_o to_o repentance_n there_o be_v five_o obstruction_n that_o hinder_v many_o from_o repentance_n the_o hope_n of_o long_a life_n inconsideration_n the_o patience_n and_o long_a suffering_n of_o god_n the_o abundance_n of_o flatter_a preacher_n and_o the_o abundance_n of_o wealth_n prosperity_n jollity_n and_o feast_n etc._n etc._n now_o god_n have_v take_v away_o all_o these_o impediment_n remove_v the_o first_o impediment_n be_v the_o hope_n of_o long_a life_n this_o be_v a_o mighty_a giant_n to_o hinder_v most_o people_n from_o speedy_a repentance_n every_o man_n think_v he_o may_v live_v one_o day_n long_o and_o therefore_o every_o man_n defer_v his_o repentance_n one_o day_n long_o but_o now_o god_n have_v remove_v this_o stumbling-block_n there_o be_v no_o man_n can_v hope_v for_o long_a life_n now_o these_o be_v kill_v day_n these_o be_v die_v day_n these_o be_v day_n wherein_o every_o man_n shall_v carry_v his_o life_n in_o his_o hand_n and_o the_o grace_n of_o repentance_n in_o his_o heart_n it_o be_v a_o sign_n of_o a_o atheist_n not_o to_o repent_v now_o a_o second_o impediment_n be_v inconsideration_n and_o therefore_o it_o be_v 2._o say_v express_o ier._n 8._o 6._o i_o hearken_v and_o hear_v but_o they_o speak_v not_o aright_o no_o man_n repent_v he_o of_o his_o wickedness_n say_v what_o have_v i_o do_v for_o do_v a_o sinner_n serious_o consider_v the_o unexpressible_a woe_n and_o misery_n he_o bring_v upon_o himself_o by_o not_o repent_v what_o a_o sad_a condition_n it_o be_v to_o be_v eternal_a fuel_n to_o everlasting_a fire_n and_o to_o be_v deprive_v of_o the_o beatifical_a vision_n do_v he_o further_o consider_v the_o goodness_n

consider_v the_o affront_n and_o indignity_n that_o be_v offer_v to_o god_n by_o sinner_n and_o also_o the_o ineffable_a love_n of_o jesus_n christ_n towards_o he_o in_o die_v a_o curse_a death_n to_o free_v he_o from_o hell_n and_o damnation_n and_o do_v he_o serious_o and_o conscientious_o dwell_v upon_o these_o thought_n this_o will_v through_o god_n assistance_n quick_o wind_v up_o his_o soul_n to_o a_o right_a repentance_n but_o these_o truth_n lie_v like_o a_o seal_a letter_n like_o a_o treasure_n lock_v up_o like_o fire_n under_o the_o embers_o without_o any_o use_n or_o benefit_n for_o
