Cor. 10.3.4 â—â—d the life and there is saluation â— none other Say wee then â—th the Apostle Lord whether â—ll we goe thou hast the words of â—rnall life It shall little auaile to goe to Saints or Angels or the Virgin Mary to procure a pardon from the Pope indulgence c. in asmuch as for al our wants of what nature soeuer here we may haue supply The reasons followes Reason 1 For first the Lord Iesus Christ he hath satisfied the law fully in the rigor thereof by his death hath remoued the curse euen that iudgement that was due for sinne As also by his obedience merited our peace and procured the blessing So that now we may safely reason with the Apostle If when we were enemies wee were reconciled vnto God by the death oâ— his Sonne Rom. 5.10 how much more being reconciled we shall be saued by his life The reason is cleare Reason 2 Secondly God the Father iâ— he that was offended with mankinde for his disobedience and he it is that threatneth the curse anâ— â—â—flicteth the punishment now â—ath not he appoynted his own â—onne to bee our peace-maker â—â— worke-mans reconciliation â—nd to make Attonment for vs â—ow then can he but be

Secondly to call to mind and â—horowly to weigh the ill effects â—hat follow vpon sinne I meane â—ot onely the shame before men â—unishment heere losse of goods â—c but principally the wound of â—oule and conscience deaâ—ing â—nd dulling our hearts and afâ—â—ctions when wee are to perâ—rme good duties and making â—s a burthen to the Church our selues the very earth we tread vpon besides the full fruition of Gods wrath and eternall vengeance in the life to come Thirdly to attend diligently vpon the word preached that so sinne may bee discouered and the heart may come to smite for the same and thus were the poore Iewes brought to compunction of heart for their sin of crucifying the Lord of glory Act. 2.37 And this word is called the Hammer of the Lord for by it the Lord doth breake the hard and stony hearts of men Fourthly of all Sins so in â— speciall manner to take heede oâ— presumptuous sinnes for theâ— are the sinnes that wound deepe and one of them will stand Sathan in steade of many This made Dauid to pray in â— speciall manner that the Lord would keepe him from Sinnes of this nature saying Keepe thy Seruant from presumptuous sinnes Psal 19.13 Knowing that they would at the â—ast lie heauie vpon the Soule â—nd conscience of that man that â—ommitted them when hee â—hould come to a true sight of â—hem But heere the weake Christiâ—n is bewayling his want that he â—annot bring his heart to any â—easonable passe to be sorrowful â—or sinne but howsoeuer that â—â—ine he would and withall his â—eart hee desires that his heart â—ould dissolue into teares yet he â—ndes that his heart is fat and â—ill not stoope and this makes â—im grieue because hee cannot â—ieue yea and mourne because â—e cannot mourne Let such for their comfort obserue Comfort for the weake First that the constitution of euery mans body is not alike there may be true compunction and contrition of heart for Sin though at all times it doe not manifest it selfe in the eye by teares Secondly consider that God measureth out this sorrowe and contrition of heart vnto his Seruants according to their abilitie and strength to beare for hee iâ— that most wise and skilfull Physician who knoweth well what a potion of physick will worke and more or lesse will not serue whose promise is that hee wiâ— not lay more vpon vs then heâ— will giue vs strength to beare And last of all let such knoâ— for their comfort heerein thaâ— â—he Lord lookes after the maner â—hen the measure of any duty or grace And 2. Cor. 8.12 Accepteth vs according to that which we haue not according to that which we haue not And hath promised that he will not Quench the smoking flax Mt. 12.20 nor â—reake the brused reede And so â—ong as wee please not our selues â—n these poore beginnings but â—ndeuour after more grace and â—ouet after the best giftes 1. Cor. 12.3 the â—ord doth except both of vs and â—hem Thirdly and lastly as we must â—abour to see Sinne and to get Godly sorrow for the same â—o that wee may reape the â—intage and comforte of all we must adde a leaving and forâ—aking of sinne To leaue and forsake sinne For he that hath â—oue his penance once truly beâ—ore God I meane hath had this hearty sorrow for his sinne it will abandon sinne in his Soule for when this Godly sorrow comes in sinne goes out A man that hath surfeited of such meate once will afterwards loath it This poynt is very cleare by the examples of all the godly of whome wee neuer reade they fell into the same sinnes againe after their repentance They made not a trade of sinne as of Dauid of whome it is saide That Dauid did that which was right in the sight of the Lord all the dayes of his life 1. Reg. 15.5 saue onely in the matter of Vriah And Zacheus no sooner called by Christ but leaft his former course And great reason for euery true penitent is partaker of Christs death and the power of the same which causeth him that hee is now become dead vnto sin Rom. 6.6 and withall hath the spirit of God dwelling in him whose proper worke is to purifie the heart and not to suffer any â—ilthinesse to remaine where it â—oth lodge Act. 15.9 And thus wee haue seene the â—arts of true repentance and wherein it doth consist Wee â—re now to speake of the necessiâ—ie of the same The necessitie of this duty â—ppeares by that speech of our â—auiour The necessitie of Repentance Except ye repent ye shall ã€ˆâ—Šã€‰ perish Luk. 13.5 And the words are there â—ice repeated to shew the cerâ—â—intie of it And againe If ye wil â—â—t returne but continue still in your â—s I will visite you saith the Lord Ier. 5.3.9 â—â—d bee auenged on you Many are pathetical exhortations in the â—â—ripture to this purpose to exâ—rt men to repentance O Ierusalem wash thy heart from wickednesse that thou maist be saued Ier. 4.14 And Cast away from you all your transgressions whereby ye haue transgressed Ier. 18.31 and make you a new heart and a new Spirit And againe Let vs search and try our wayes Lam. 3.40 and turne vnto the Lord. This is that louing admonition Hag. 1.5.7 Christ giues vnto the Church of Ephâ—sus who had lost their first loue Reu. 2.5 she should Remember from whence shee Ephe. 4.23 was fallen and repent Theâ— and infinit places more doe sufâ—â—ciently declare the necessitie â— Repentance Rom. 12.2 Seeing without we cannot be saued Yea all our Sacrifices and Seâ—uices that we offer vp vnto Goâ— whether it be to heare the worâ— to receiue this Sacrament â— pray c.
