1.9_o and_o heal_v our_o nature_n when_o we_o have_v do_v our_o part_n he_o shall_v forfeit_v his_o truth_n and_o his_o justice_n and_o so_o he_o shall_v be_v a_o great_a loser_n than_o we_o and_n forsake_v they_o this_o must_n and_o will_v follow_v upon_o the_o former_a and_o this_o offer_v unto_o we_o another_o point_n of_o doctrine_n namely_o that_o it_o be_v not_o sufficient_a to_o confess_v sin_n doct._n 3_o but_o we_o must_v also_o leave_v and_o forsake_v it_o we_o must_v renounce_v and_o abandon_v the_o allowance_n of_o every_o infirmity_n 55.7_o sin_n must_v be_v renounce_v

they_o bring_v their_o curious_a book_n and_o burn_v they_o open_o note_v though_o the_o price_n of_o they_o amount_v to_o a_o great_a value_n that_o so_o those_o that_o have_v be_v witness_n of_o their_o sin_n may_v also_o be_v witness_n of_o their_o repentance_n and_o that_o neither_o themselves_o nor_o other_o may_v be_v infect_v by_o they_o afterward_o and_o that_o those_o who_o heart_n

that_o a_o sound_a confession_n and_o a_o holy_a reformation_n go_v together_o may_v be_v further_o prove_v by_o the_o example_n of_o david_n of_o peter_n and_o of_o paul_n which_o be_v former_o

be_v the_o case_n of_o job_n and_o of_o david_n in_o their_o great_a calamity_n and_o perplexity_n and_o we_o may_v read_v of_o the_o lamentable_a complaint_n that_o both_o of_o they_o make_v in_o that_o respect_n if_o it_o be_v a_o mark_n of_o a_o damnable_a person_n to_o withhold_v mercy_n from_o the_o sorrowful_a and_o heavy_a heart_a then_o what_o shall_v become_v of_o they_o that_o lie_v

that_o be_v in_o many_o want_n and_o necessity_n so_o long_o as_o there_o be_v any_o godly_a man_n or_o woman_n that_o will_v do_v any_o thing_n for_o christ_n his_o sake_n and_o for_o their_o own_o

do_v deny_v we_o help_v and_o comfort_v many_o time_n because_o god_n will_v have_v we_o draw_v near_o unto_o he_o who_o eye_n be_v ever_o upon_o we_o note_v and_o who_o ear_n be_v always_o open_a to_o hear_v the_o cry_n of_o the_o poor_a and_o of_o those_o that_o be_v humble_v before_o he_o therefore_o let_v the_o saint_n of_o god_n make_v full_a reckon_n that_o one_o way_n 72._o psal_n 72._o

a_o objection_n that_o they_o may_v make_v it_o be_v long_a ere_o man_n be_v bring_v to_o the_o sight_n of_o their_o sin_n but_o when_o they_o come_v once_o to_o perceive_v the_o multitude_n and_o

conclusion_n and_o therefore_o he_o say_v come_v now_o let_v we_o reason_n together_o which_o be_v in_o effect_n as_o if_o he_o shall_v have_v say_v if_o you_o harken_v what_o the_o devil_n and_o the_o flesh_n can_v say_v that_o will_v rather_o make_v you_o despair_n then_o believe_v and_o therefore_o hear_v you_o withal_o what_o i_o can_v say_v which_o if_o we_o can_v do_v we_o shall_v easy_o see_v that_o the_o argument_n of_o satan_n and_o of_o our_o own_o wretched_a carnal_a reason_n be_v but_o delusion_n and_o that_o god_n argument_n will_v swallow_v they_o up_o all_o even_o as_o moses_n true_a serpent_n do_v the_o serpent_n of_o the_o sorcerer_n hence_o we_o may_v learn_v this_o doctrine_n that_o they_o that_o will_v come_v to_o the_o lord_n doct._n 7_o any_o god_n be_v to_o be_v hear_v before_o any_o and_o do_v he_o service_n must_v not_o hearken_v what_o reason_n flesh_n and_o blood_n can_v yield_v they_o against_o it_o but_o what_o reason_n god_n can_v give_v they_o for_o it_o the_o devil_n will_v have_v much_o to_o say_v against_o goodness_n and_o our_o own_o fleshlie_o wisdom_n will_v have_v as_o much_o and_o the_o world_n will_v be_v as_o great_a a_o pull-backe_a unto_o we_o if_o we_o will_v give_v it_o the_o hear_n but_o if_o we_o can_v lend_v a_o attentive_a ear_n unto_o the_o lord_n we_o shall_v find_v that_o he_o will_v bring_v better_a argument_n to_o persuade_v we_o to_o goodness_n than_o all_o those_o our_o enemy_n can_v to_o dissuade_v we_o from_o it_o and_o therefore_o it_o be_v that_o man_n be_v so_o often_o and_o so_o gross_o deceive_v because_o they_o hear_v what_o the_o one_o side_n can_v say_v to_o discourage_v and_o hinder_v they_o but_o not_o what_o the_o other_o can_v say_v to_o hearten_v and_o draw_v they_o onward_o in_o good_a way_n for_o if_o they_o do_v bring_v a_o spiritual_a ear_n to_o receive_v the_o proof_n that_o be_v bring_v from_o the_o word_n they_o will_v be_v mroe_o forcible_a to_o bring_v they_o to_o god_n than_o all_o other_o mean_n can_v be_v to_o allure_v they_o to_o forsake_v god_n and_o to_o embrace_v this_o present_a world_n therefore_o when_o the_o lord_n will_v have_v man_n to_o practice_v any_o duty_n or_o to_o forbear_v any_o sin_n we_o see_v what_o strong_a reason_n he_o bring_v for_o that_o purpose_n as_o be_v evident_a together_o with_o innumerable_a other_o place_n in_o the_o second_o and_o in_o the_o four_o commandment_n and_o thence_o it_o be_v that_o man_n do_v so_o common_o and_o so_o wretched_o transgress_v those_o commandment_n because_o they_o do_v not_o well_o weigh_v the_o lord_n reason_n to_o the_o contrary_a for_o if_o they_o do_v they_o will_v never_o incline_v so_o much_o to_o superstition_n and_o idolatry_n nor_o ever_o so_o give_v themselves_o
