all_o their_o sin_n and_o the_o continuance_n in_o they_o can_v not_o hinder_v god_n mercy_n upon_o their_o repentance_n from_o forgive_a their_o sin_n and_o receive_v they_o into_o favour_n no_o more_o shall_v thy_o sin_n and_o continuance_n therein_o hinder_v he_o from_o be_v merciful_a unto_o thou_o if_o thou_o do_v repent_v as_o they_o do_v 16._o yea_o upon_o thy_o repentance_n every_o one_o of_o their_o example_n be_v a_o pledge_n that_o he_o will_v do_v the_o same_o unto_o thou_o that_o he_o do_v unto_o they_o for_o as_o the_o least_o sin_n in_o god_n justice_n without_o repentance_n be_v damnable_a so_o the_o great_a sin_n upon_o repentance_n be_v in_o his_o mercy_n pardonable_a thy_o great_a and_o inveterate_v sin_n be_v but_o the_o sin_n of_o a_o man_n but_o the_o least_o of_o his_o mercy_n be_v the_o mercy_n of_o god_n because_o thou_o know_v thy_o own_o sin_n thou_o doubte_v whether_o they_o shall_v be_v pardon_v mark_v how_o this_o doubtful_a case_n be_v resolve_v by_o good_a himself_o many_o in_o isaiah_n day_n think_v as_o thou_o do_v that_o they_o have_v continue_v so_o long_o in_o sin_n that_o it_o be_v too_o late_o for_o they_o now_o to_o seek_v to_o return_v unto_o god_n for_o grace_n and_o mercy_n but_o god_n answer_v they_o seek_v you_o the_o lord_n whilst_o he_o may_v be_v find_v 9_o call_v you_o upon_o he_o whilst_o he_o be_v near_o as_o if_o he_o have_v say_v whilst_o life_n last_v and_o my_o word_n be_v preach_v i_o be_o near_a to_o be_v find_v of_o all_o that_o seek_v i_o and_o pray_v unto_o i_o the_o people_n reply_n but_o we_o o_o lord_n be_v grievous_a sinner_n and_o therefore_o dare_v not_o presume_v to_o call_v upon_o thy_o name_n or_o to_o come_v near_o thy_o holiness_n to_o this_o the_o lord_n answer_v let_v the_o wicked_a forsake_v his_o way_n and_o the_o man_n of_o iniquity_n his_o thought_n and_o let_v he_o return_v unto_o i_o and_o i_o will_v have_v mercy_n upon_o he_o and_o to_o his_o god_n and_o i_o will_v pardon_v he_o abundant_o but_o we_o will_v think_v say_v the_o people_n that_o if_o our_o sin_n be_v but_o ordinary_a sin_n this_o promise_n of_o mercy_n may_v belong_v unto_o we_o but_o because_o our_o sin_n be_v so_o great_a and_o of_o such_o long_a continuance_n therefore_o we_o fear_v lest_o when_o we_o appear_v before_o god_n he_o will_v reject_v we_o to_o this_o god_n answer_v again_o my_o thought_n of_o mercy_n be_v not_o your_o thought_n neither_o be_v your_o way_n of_o pardon_v my_o way_n for_o as_o the_o heaven_n be_v high_a than_o the_o earth_n so_o be_v my_o way_n high_a than_o your_o way_n and_o my_o thought_n than_o your_o thought_n if_o therefore_o every_o sinner_n in_o the_o world_n be_v a_o world_n of_o such_o sinner_n as_o thou_o be_v do_v thou_o but_o yet_o what_o god_n bid_v thou_o repent_v and_o believe_v and_o the_o 7._o blood_n of_o jesus_n christ_n be_v the_o blood_n of_o god_n will_v cleanse_v both_o thou_o and_o they_o from_o all_o your_o

he_o give_v his_o only_a beget_v son_n to_o death_n to_o save_v as_o many_o of_o the_o world_n as_o will_v believe_v and_o repent_v much_o less_o shall_v thy_o sin_n be_v the_o sin_n of_o the_o least_o member_n of_o the_o world_n be_v able_a to_o hinder_v god_n from_o love_v thy_o soul_n and_o forgive_a thy_o sin_n if_o thou_o do_v repent_v and_o believe_v 3._o 9_o that_o if_o he_o love_v thou_o so_o dear_o when_o thou_o be_v his_o enemy_n that_o he_o pay_v for_o thou_o so_o dear_a a_o price_n as_o the_o spill_n of_o his_o heart_n blood_n how_o can_v he_o now_o but_o be_v gracious_a unto_o thou_o when_o to_o save_v thou_o will_v cost_v he_o but_o the_o cast_n of_o a_o gracious_a look_n upon_o thou_o look_v nor_o thou_o therefore_o to_o the_o greatness_n of_o thy_o sin_n but_o to_o the_o infiniteness_n of_o his_o mercy_n which_o be_v so_o surpass_v great_a that_o if_o thou_o put_v all_o thy_o own_o grievous_a sin_n
