be_v say_v he_o do_v repent_v yet_o judas_n be_v not_o pardon_v so_o that_o you_o see_v plain_o there_o may_v be_v repentance_n and_o yet_o sin_n never_o pardon_v indeed_o true_a repentance_n have_v ever_o pardon_v go_v along_o with_o it_o but_o the_o scripture_n speak_v of_o a_o repentance_n that_o may_v be_v without_o pardon_n therefore_o when_o thou_o say_v thou_o repente_v you_o must_v not_o look_v upon_o it_o so_o because_o you_o repent_v therefore_o your_o sin_n be_v pardon_v as_o if_o every_o repentance_n be_v true_a for_o thou_o mistake_v in_o the_o work_n of_o repentance_n thou_o think_v this_o to_o be_v repentance_n to_o salvation_n for_o thou_o to_o be_v sorry_a at_o the_o very_a heart_n for_o thy_o sin_n certain_o thou_o may_v be_v sorry_a at_o the_o heart_n and_o yet_o perish_v for_o all_o that_o i_o make_v no_o question_n but_o judas_n be_v sorry_a at_o his_o heart_n and_o wish_v it_o have_v never_o be_v do_v and_o if_o it_o be_v to_o do_v again_o he_o will_v never_o do_v it_o there_o be_v as_o much_o express_v he_o repent_v and_o he_o bring_v the_o 30_o piece_n again_o he_o be_v not_o only_o sorrowful_a but_o make_v satisfaction_n he_o bring_v the_o money_n back_o again_o that_o he_o have_v get_v in_o a_o wicked_a way_n and_o therefore_o if_o you_o think_v this_o to_o be_v true_a repentance_n you_o be_v mighty_o mistake_v but_o wherein_o be_v it_o that_o we_o fail_v it_o be_v not_o for_o i_o now_o to_o enter_v on_o the_o doctrine_n of_o true_a repentance_n i_o be_o to_o speak_v of_o it_o so_o far_o as_o to_o convince_v man_n that_o it_o be_v not_o a_o ground_n for_o hope_n of_o pardon_n of_o sin_n mark_v it_o when_o it_o be_v thus_o with_o thou_o thou_o repente_v because_o thou_o see_v that_o sin_n will_v bring_v thou_o into_o danger_n now_o thou_o have_v have_v the_o pleasure_n or_o the_o profit_n of_o it_o and_o thou_o see_v now_o it_o will_v bring_v thou_o into_o trouble_n and_o danger_n thou_o be_v sorry_a that_o ever_o thou_o do_v it_o certain_o if_o god_n will_v be_v satisfy_v with_o such_o kind_n of_o sorrow_n he_o may_v have_v enough_o of_o it_o in_o hell_n for_o there_o be_v yell_v and_o sorrow_n because_o of_o the_o trouble_v that_o sin_n have_v bring_v upon_o they_o to_o sorrow_n because_o of_o the_o trouble_n that_o our_o sin_n bring_v on_o we_o be_v mere_o natural_a and_o flow_v from_o nature_n itself_o and_o far_o from_o a_o save_a work_n of_o repentance_n therefore_o the_o repentance_n many_o hope_n to_o have_v what_o be_v it_o when_o we_o tell_v they_o of_o their_o sin_n they_o say_v they_o hope_v to_o repent_v what_o do_v they_o mean_v why_o they_o will_v take_v the_o pleasure_n of_o sin_n and_o when_o the_o punishment_n come_v they_o will_v be_v sorry_a for_o it_o and_o repent_v of_o it_o the_o ordinary_a way_n to_o put_v man_n off_o from_o this_o plea_n be_v to_o tell_v they_o how_o do_v you_o know_v you_o shall_v live_v or_o that_o your_o heart_n shall_v not_o be_v harden_v but_o suppose_v you_o do_v live_v and_o that_o you_o have_v a_o heart_n to_o do_v as_o you_o say_v yet_o your_o repentance_n may_v fail_v you_o if_o your_o repentance_n be_v no_o other_o than_o that_o which_o come_v for_o sorrow_n of_o sin_n because_o of_o the_o punishment_n it_o will_v fail_v you_o certain_o that_o repentance_n that_o must_v go_v for_o current_n in_o heaven_n be_v of_o another_o

build_v their_o believe_v of_o the_o pardon_n of_o their_o sin_n mere_o on_o their_o sorrow_n and_o such_o kind_n of_o sorrow_n they_o be_v like_o a_o man_n that_o will_v erect_v a_o great_a

never_o have_v peace_n for_o how_o can_v i_o tell_v the_o measure_n of_o sorrow_n i_o be_o to_o have_v before_o peace_n be_v speak_v and_o then_o if_o they_o feel_v not_o sorrow_n they_o be_v question_v again_o it_o be_v a_o dangerous_a thing_n to_o lay_v the_o hope_n of_o pardon_n of_o sin_n upon_o our_o own_o sorrow_n where_o or_o how_o then_o shall_v we_o lay_v our_o hope_n why_o upon_o the_o sorrow_n of_o jesus_n christ_n there_o you_o shall_v find_v the_o sure_a ground_n there_o may_v be_v some_o mistake_n there_o too_o but_o for_o the_o present_a i_o shall_v not_o stay_v on_o that_o we_o must_v look_v ten_o thousand_o time_n more_o at_o the_o sorrow_n of_o christ_n than_o at_o our_o own_o sorrow_n and_o therefore_o when_o your_o heart_n be_v trouble_v and_o you_o look_v

that_o that_o must_v be_v a_o ground_n of_o hope_n for_o the_o pardon_n of_o my_o sin_n must_v be_v something_o that_o must_v satisfy_v the_o justice_n of_o god_n for_o though_o there_o be_v never_o

i_o be_o not_o therefore_o pardon_v because_o i_o mourn_v but_o because_o i_o be_o pardon_v therefore_o i_o come_v to_o mourn_v so_o stand_v the_o truth_n in_o divinity_n in_o point_n of_o
