how_o he_o labour_v to_o convert_v his_o fellow_n thief_n and_o to_o make_v he_o give_v all_o the_o glory_n to_o god_n he_o be_v so_o wound_v to_o the_o soul_n that_o his_o fellow_n thief_n shall_v

remember_v i_o he_o let_v his_o own_o soul_n lie_v at_o the_o stake_n while_o he_o labour_v to_o glorify_v god_n so_o that_o it_o be_v plain_a he_o love_v god_n more_o than_o his_o own_o soul_n 5._o here_o you_o may_v see_v his_o penitential_a faith_n he_o believe_v not_o with_o a_o general_a faith_n but_o with_o a_o save_n and_o particular_a faith_n with_o faith_n and_o assurance_n he_o look_v on_o christ_n as_o his_o jesus_n he_o say_v unto_o jesus_n there_o be_v not_o one_o idle_a word_n in_o this_o text_n the_o holy_a ghost_n say_v he_o say_v unto_o jesus_n he_o say_v not_o that_o he_o think_v to_o say_v so_o but_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n witness_v that_o he_o say_v so_o indeed_o he_o speak_v to_o christ_n as_o to_o a_o jesus_n 6._o here_o be_v his_o penitential_a resolution_n of_o newness_n of_o life_n &_o new_a obedience_n for_o time_n to_o come_v lord_n remember_v i_o he_o acknowledge_v christ_n to_o be_v his_o lord_n q._n d._n i_o have_v follow_v the_o imagination_n of_o my_o own_o will_n hitherto_o all_o my_o steal_n and_o other_o sin_n have_v be_v to_o fulfil_v my_o own_o will_n but_o now_o i_o confess_v thou_o to_o be_v my_o lord_n and_o be_v i_o to_o live_v again_o or_o any_o long_o i_o will_v for_o ever_o serve_v thou_o last_o here_o be_v his_o penitential_a prayer_n lord_n remember_v i_o he_o acknowledge_v christ_n to_o be_v his_o lord_n nay_o he_o do_v not_o only_o pray_v thus_o but_o say_v basil_n he_o offer_v much_o prayer_n unto_o god_n even_o as_o much_o as_o his_o short_a time_n can_v permit_v these_o word_n be_v but_o the_o sum_n of_o what_o he_o speak_v lord_n remember_v i_o etc._n etc._n thus_o you_o see_v he_o be_v no_o more_o a_o thief_n but_o a_o convert_n and_o confessor_n as_o augustine_n observe_v a_o wicked_a thief_n to_o

a_o wonderful_a repentance_n he_o have_v in_o regard_n of_o the_o perfection_n of_o it_o faith_n be_v in_o it_o humiliation_n be_v in_o it_o turn_v to_o god_n be_v in_o it_o felfe-denyall_n be_v in_o it_o satisfaction_n be_v in_o it_o and_o glorify_v of_o god_n in_o the_o face_n of_o the_o world_n be_v in_o it_o nay_o he_o be_v the_o only_a professor_n of_o christ_n to_o the_o nation_n at_o that_o time_n he_o have_v never_o a_o servant_n but_o this_o never_o a_o word_n at_o this_o time_n speak_v for_o christ_n but_o that_o which_o this_o thief_n speak_v none_o to_o back_n christ_n but_o this_o thief_n he_o be_v the_o only_a professor_n and_o confessor_n of_o christ_n at_o this_o time_n the_o only_a man_n on_o the_o earth_n that_o glorify_v god._n therefore_o unless_o thou_o expect_v such_o a_o death_n to_o bring_v such_o glory_n to_o god_n as_o this_o thief_n do_v never_o bear_v thyself_o upon_o his_o example_n five_o this_o repentance_n be_v extraordinary_a in_o regard_n of_o the_o

against_o they_o all_o nay_o when_o mary_n magdalen_n out_o of_o who_o christ_n have_v cast_v seven_o devil_n when_o she_o be_v afraid_a to_o come_v near_o to_o the_o cross_n mat._n 27._o 55._o and_o the_o mother_n of_o zebedees_n child_n who_o shall_v have_v come_v near_o yet_o they_o stand_v a_o far_o off_o only_o this_o thief_n publish_v the_o gospel_n of_o jesus_n christ_n and_o make_v open_a

now_o show_v i_o such_o a_o repentance_n whereby_o thou_o may_v put_v down_o peter_n and_o all_o the_o apostle_n of_o christ_n either_o show_v i_o such_o a_o repentance_n extraordinary_a incomparable_a and_o wonderful_a to_o make_v they_o all_o ashamed_a i_o say_v either_o show_v i_o such_o a_o repentance_n or_o never_o trust_v on_o the_o thief_n example_n on_o the_o cross_n if_o a_o

this_o may_v serve_v to_o condemn_v those_o that_o rely_v upon_o this_o example_n oh_o say_v one_o do_v not_o the_o thief_n on_o the_o cross_n repent_v at_o the_o last_o hour_n and_o god_n be_v the_o
