these_o word_n be_v this_o that_o the_o way_n to_o have_v a_o sin_n forgive_v be_v to_o aggravate_v 3._o it_o not_o to_o extenuate_v it_o samuel_n here_o you_o see_v when_o he_o go_v about_o to_o comfort_v the_o people_n he_o aggravate_v the_o sin_n but_o withal_o aggravate_v god_n mercy_n and_o so_o comfort_v they_o so_o that_o the_o best_a way_n to_o have_v a_o sin_n forgive_v be_v to_o confess_v it_o to_o the_o utmost_a first_o it_o put_v a_o man_n into_o such_o a_o disposition_n as_o god_n have_v promise_v forgiveness_n unto_o for_o 1._o than_o we_o come_v to_o see_v the_o vileness_n of_o ourselves_o that_o we_o can_v stand_v upon_o our_o own_o bottom_n but_o be_v empty_a of_o all_o and_o without_o god_n must_v perish_v and_o so_o be_v draw_v from_o ourselves_o and_o all_o in_o we_o to_o rest_v no_o more_o upon_o ourselves_o but_o upon_o god_n alone_o second_o beside_o the_o more_o particular_o sin_n be_v confess_v the_o more_o glory_n arise_v to_o 2._o god_n and_o shame_n to_o ourselves_o and_o again_o it_o strengthen_v we_o against_o sin_n another_o time_n a_o full_a confession_n of_o any_o sin_n be_v a_o 3._o great_a preseruative_n against_o it_o when_o a_o man_n have_v look_v round_o about_o any_o sin_n and_o consider_v all_o the_o particular_n of_o it_o it_o shut_v up_o all_o way_n to_o the_o sin_n whereas_o otherwise_o when_o man_n confess_v by_o half_n they_o live_v in_o some_o way_n of_o sin_v the_o use_n be_v to_o teach_v you_o not_o to_o extenuate_v use_v your_o sin_n but_o to_o confess_v they_o to_o the_o utmost_a and_o this_o you_o have_v need_n be_v exhort_v unto_o for_o i_o do_v not_o know_v a_o duty_n more_o hard_a than_o this_o though_o you_o may_v think_v it_o easy_a man_n be_v loath_a to_o confess_v their_o sin_n because_o man_n be_v loath_a to_o leave_v their_o sin_n till_o they_o mean_v to_o leave_v it_o they_o extenuate_v it_o if_o man_n will_v keep_v any_o reservation_n and_o be_v not_o willing_a perfect_o to_o forgo_v all_o they_o will_v not_o confess_v they_o full_o again_o man_n want_v light_a to_o see_v sin_n full_o for_o we_o see_v sin_n in_o the_o circumstance_n of_o it_o no_o further_o 2_o than_o we_o have_v light_v lend_v we_o from_o the_o holy_a ghost_n as_o the_o light_n be_v bright_a and_o bright_a in_o the_o house_n the_o more_o clear_o do_v we_o discern_v the_o lest_o mote_n so_o here_o again_o three_o there_o be_v a_o self-love_n in_o every_o one_o and_o therefore_o while_o we_o look_v on_o sin_n as_o 3_o our_o own_o we_o be_v ready_a to_o favour_v it_o as_o juda_n while_o he_o look_v on_o the_o adultery_n as_o in_o his_o daughter_n he_o judge_v it_o worthy_a of_o death_n he_o will_v have_v she_o burn_v but_o when_o it_o come_v to_o be_v his_o own_o sin_n than_o the_o case_n be_v alter_v so_o david_n will_v have_v have_v the_o man_n put_v to_o death_n that_o take_v his_o neighbour_n sheep_n but_o when_o it_o come_v and_o prove_v to_o be_v his_o own_o case_n god_n be_v fain_o to_o take_v a_o great_a deal_n of_o pain_n to_o humble_v he_o and_o to_o make_v he_o confess_v it_o and_o therefore_o aggravate_v your_o sin_n in_o your_o confession_n say_v i_o have_v have_v these_o and_o these_o mean_n i_o have_v sin_v against_o the_o great_a light_n again_o and_o again_o and_o break_v the_o covenant_n that_o i_o have_v make_v with_o god_n and_o know_v that_o this_o way_n you_o can_v exceed_v if_o our_o heart_n condemn_v we_o god_n be_v great_a than_o our_o heart_n let_v we_o 20._o take_v a_o man_n that_o apprehend_v his_o sin_n most_o full_o yet_o god_n conceive_v more_o full_o of_o it_o so_o as_o we_o in_o our_o thought_n can_v reach_v to_o what_o he_o see_v sin_n to_o be_v and_o herein_o you_o have_v need_n take_v pain_n and_o search_v diligent_o for_o many_o sin_n that_o be_v great_a sin_n will_v appear_v at_o the_o first_o to_o be_v but_o small_a one_o as_o this_o sin_n of_o they_o they_o think_v it_o but_o a_o small_a matter_n at_o the_o first_o it_o be_v but_o choose_v of_o a_o king_n that_o be_v not_o any_o where_o forbid_v and_o yet_o samuel_n tell_v they_o that_o therein_o they_o have_v first_o cast_v away_o the_o lord_n second_o they_o cast_v away_o samuel_n and_o the_o lord_n in_o he_o three_o they_o have_v put_v trust_n in_o king_n and_o so_o david_n number_v of_o the_o people_n seem_v to_o be_v but_o a_o small_a thing_n a_o thing_n not_o in_o itself_o unlawful_a for_o a_o king_n to_o see_v what_o strength_n he_o have_v to_o encounter_v a_o enemy_n but_o david_n he_o know_v his_o own_o heart_n he_o know_v his_o own_o end_n than_o he_o cry_v out_o he_o have_v do_v exceed_o foolish_o know_v this_o therefore_o that_o this_o you_o ought_v to_o do_v and_o that_o the_o more_o you_o see_v sin_n abound_v the_o more_o you_o will_v see_v grace_n abound_v and_o so_o you_o will_v love_v the_o more_o and_o prize_n christ_n the_o more_o and_o be_v more_o humble_a and_o content_a with_o any_o condition_n again_o observe_v one_o sin_n make_v much_o way_n for_o another_o 4._o this_o sin_n of_o they_o have_v well_o nigh_o draw_v they_o to_o a_o depart_n from_o the_o lord_n now_o be_v they_o in_o the_o high_a way_n to_o slip_v from_o the_o lord_n quite_o away_o the_o reason_n be_v first_o because_o every_o act_n intend_v 1._o the_o habit_n of_o sin_n as_o when_o any_o thing_n be_v act_v it_o increase_v the_o habit_n with_o which_o it_o be_v act_v as_o every_o act_n of_o grace_n strengthen_v the_o habit_n of_o grace_n so_o sin_n make_v the_o flesh_n to_o rise_v above_o the_o spirit_n to_o get_v it_o under_o and_o so_o at_o last_o to_o get_v the_o victory_n because_o every_o sin_n weaken_v that_o grace_n which_o 2._o shall_v resist_v it_o as_o in_o a_o disease_n there_o be_v not_o only_o a_o thing_n contrary_a with_o which_o health_n be_v to_o wrestle_v but_o something_o also_o which_o weaken_v the_o strength_n by_o which_o health_n shall_v resist_v and_o so_o do_v sin_n especial_o

disease_n which_o seize_v upon_o the_o principal_a part_n and_o therefore_o be_v often_o little_o feel_v a_o small_a sin_n be_v as_o a_o small_a wound_n which_o we_o may_v easy_o feel_v because_o all_o else_o be_v in_o health_n but_o a_o great_a sin_n be_v as_o a_o blow_n upon_o the_o head_n which_o amaze_v us._n again_o commit_v a_o great_a sin_n discourage_v we_o from_o come_v to_o god_n for_o pardon_n and_o 3._o make_v we_o bold_a to_o go_v on_o and_o see_v we_o be_v over_o shoe_n we_o be_v willing_a to_o go_v on_o and_o be_v over_o boot_v too_o aster_n commission_n of_o a_o great_a

to_o lie_v long_o in_o his_o body_n but_o he_o will_v take_v a_o antidote_n against_o it_o as_o soon_o as_o he_o can_v another_o point_n we_o may_v observe_v be_v this_o that_o discouragement_n and_o too_o much_o fear_n be_v great_a mean_n of_o our_o departure_n from_o god_n 5._o fear_v not_o turn_v not_o aside_o from_o follow_v the_o lord_n etc._n etc._n there_o be_v many_o thing_n which_o keep_v

build_v it_o be_v no_o long_o lawful_a to_o offer_v sacrifice_n in_o any_o other_o place_n now_o when_o almighty_a god_n shall_v be_v so_o curious_a have_v such_o a_o quick_a and_o jealous_a eye_n

all_o the_o branch_n that_o rise_v from_o the_o root_n must_v needs_o be_v dead_a also_o again_o spiritual_a life_n be_v nothing_o else_o but_o a_o conjunction_n of_o the_o soul_n with_o the_o
