no_o more_o to_o they_o that_o wilful_o refuse_v happy_a be_v he_o that_o know_v the_o day_n of_o his_o visitation_n 19_o and_o the_o thing_n that_o belong_v to_o his_o peace_n which_o jerusalem_n do_v not_o and_o therefore_o christ_n weep_v over_o it_o which_o saul_n and_o the_o jew_n in_o jeremy's_n time_n do_v not_o and_o therefore_o god_n forbid_v he_o to_o pray_v for_o they_o 5._o as_o

when_o the_o ground_n be_v soft_a for_o the_o heart_n in_o such_o case_n be_v like_a to_o the_o iron_n in_o the_o furnace_n easy_o wrought_v upon_o but_o stay_v while_o it_o be_v cold_a and_o it_o will_v not_o so_o easy_o be_v fashion_v i_o beseech_v you_o therefore_o be_v exhort_v to_o take_v the_o opportunity_n and_o be_v not_o like_o they_o of_o who_o isaiah_n complain_v 58._o who_o like_o

here_o so_o shall_v it_o be_v with_o i_o there_o and_o then_o for_o ever_o no_o more_o if_o a_o man_n thought_n i_o say_v be_v such_o i_o shall_v wonder_v if_o any_o thing_n else_o shall_v take_v up_o

upon_o uncertain_a wind_n how_o much_o less_o shall_v a_o man_n have_v his_o salvation_n depend_v upon_o uncertainty_n see_v grace_n whence_o repenance_n proceed_v be_v as_o you_o see_v receive_v and_o not_o in_o our_o own_o power_n but_o here_o most_o mistake_v repentance_n and_o that_o be_v the_o cause_n why_o it_o be_v defer_v it_o be_v not_o only_o a_o sorrow_n for_o sin_n as_o it_o be_v common_o think_v to_o be_v nor_o a_o leave_n of_o sin_n out_o of_o fear_n of_o hell_n and_o desire_v to_o be_v save_v which_o a_o man_n may_v do_v out_o of_o the_o strength_n of_o nature_n wisdom_n and_o providence_n for_o his_o own_o safety_n but_o it_o be_v when_o it_o acompany_v salvation_n a_o much_o different_a thing_n to_o wit_n 1._o a_o act_n of_o life_n by_o one_o that_o be_v dead_a 17._o a_o act_n of_o a_o new_a creature_n by_o one_o that_o be_v old_a it_o be_v the_o change_n of_o the_o whole_a frame_n of_o the_o heart_n as_o if_o another_o soul_n dwell_v in_o the_o same_o body_n or_o as_o he_o say_v i_o be_o not_o myself_o ego_fw-la by_o repentance_n i_o differ_v from_o what_o i_o be_v in_o a_o word_n when_o a_o man_n be_v a_o quite_o other_o man_n than_o he_o be_v serve_v god_n out_o of_o a_o inward_a propension_n &_o have_v the_o whole_a bent_n of_o his_o heart_n turn_v to_o delight_n in_o the_o lord_n and_o in_o his_o law_n without_o all_o by-respect_n and_o that_o this_o yet_o may_v be_v make_v clear_a and_o put_v out_o of_o all_o doubt_n i_o will_v ask_v you_o this_o one_o question_n that_o repentance_n which_o man_n take_v up_o in_o age_n or_o time_n of_o extremity_n whence_o proceed_v it_o if_o from_o self_n love_n as_o be_v usual_a in_o such_o case_n because_o the_o soul_n be_v they_o most_o strong_o possess_v with_o a_o apprehension_n of_o death_n and_o hell_n and_o another_o life_n then_o there_o be_v no_o more_o than_o nature_n in_o he_o for_o the_o stream_n natural_o rise_v no_o high_a than_o the_o fountain_n a_o beast_n will_v as_o much_o for_o when_o he_o sink_v into_o danger_n he_o will_v struggle_v to_o save_v himself_o but_o if_o it_o proceed_v from_o love_n to_o god_n why_o be_v it_o not_o do_v sooper_n why_o not_o in_o the_o flower_n of_o youth_n yea_o when_o it_o be_v do_v soon_a will_v we_o not_o be_v hearty_o sorry_a that_o it_o be_v not_o do_v soon_o if_o it_o proceed_v of_o love_n to_o he_o it_o can_v but_o rise_v from_o his_o holy_a spirit_n the_o breathe_n whereof_o as_o they_o be_v most_o free_a so_o be_v they_o most_o precious_a therefore_o when_o such_o a_o spark_n be_v kindle_v in_o our_o heart_n let_v we_o be_v careful_a to_o put_v fuel_n unto_o it_o and_o not_o let_v it_o go_v out_o again_o all_o the_o creature_n in_o heaven_n and_o earth_n can_v help_v we_o to_o they_o again_o yea_o the_o best_a ordinance_n be_v but_o as_o pen_n without_o ink_n and_o empty_a conduit_n pipe_n which_o give_v not_o one_o drop_n of_o true_a grace_n except_o christ_n who_o be_v the_o fountain_n please_v to_o convey_v it_o by_o they_o therefore_o let_v we_o take_v heed_n how_o we_o let_v such_o motion_n rise_v like_o bubble_n and_o break_v again_o or_o go_v out_o like_a spark_n upon_o wet_a tinder_n 5_o lest_o often_o check_v snib_n and_o quench_v the_o spirit_n in_o the_o end_n we_o be_v find_v guilty_a of_o resist_v the_o holy_a ghost_n 7._o and_o then_o god_n swear_v in_o his_o wrath_n 95._o that_o we_o shall_v not_o enter_v into_o his_o rest_n here_o idle_a by_o the_o way_n observe_v that_o this_o doctrine_n teach_v we_o not_o to_o be_v idle_a though_o all_o grace_n be_v receive_v from_o christ_n we_o must_v not_o therefore_o leave_v all_o to_o god_n as_o we_o be_v slander_v to_o say_v and_o do_v but_o as_o st._n paul_n make_v the_o consequence_n because_o god_n work_v in_o you_o the_o will_n and_o the_o deed_n 2._o therefore_o work_v out_o your_o salvation_n with_o fear_n and_o tremble_a other_o may_v be_v think_v contrary_o to_o infer_v ourselves_o work_v in_o ourselves_o the_o will_n &_o the_o deed_n therefore_o we_o need_v notwork_n out_o our_o salvation_n with_o such_o fear_n &_o tremble_a see_v we_o may_v do_v it_o at_o our_o pleasure_n but_o it_o will_v be_v say_v ob._n this_o be_v a_o hard_a case_n although_o a_o man_n will_v repent_v yet_o he_o can_v although_o he_o desire_v to_o serve_v god_n yet_o it_o be_v impossible_a except_o he_o receive_v it_o to_o remove_v move_v this_o scruple_n we_o must_v know_v sol._n that_o god_n be_v exceed_o free_a and_o open_o hand_v in_o give_v grace_n if_o it_o be_v take_v in_o time_n and_o if_o you_o will_v not_o believe_v it_o st_n john_n come_v here_o and_o tell_v you_o i_o have_v receive_v of_o his_o fullness_n and_o not_o i_o only_o but_o we_o that_o be_v i_o and_o all_o the_o saint_n that_o either_o be_v or_o have_v be_v and_o since_o st_n johns_n time_n many_o thousand_o and_o shall_v not_o such_o a_o cloud_n of_o witness_n persuade_v we_o if_o a_o beggar_n hear_v of_o a_o open_a house_n keep_v or_o a_o great_a dole_n give_v it_o affect_v he_o and_o invite_v he_o to_o go_v but_o when_o he_o see_v many_o come_n from_o it_o with_o arm_n full_a &_o lap_n full_a be_v he_o they_o confident_a this_o add_v wing_n to_o he_o so_o if_o a_o sick_a man_n do_v but_o hear_v of_o a_o famous_a physician_n or_o a_o heal_n well_o it_o stir_v he_o up_o to_o go_v and_o try_v but_o if_o he_o meet_v with_o many_o hundred_o and_o thousand_o come_v from_o thence_o and_o say_v i_o have_v be_v with_o he_o and_o be_o cure_v i_o have_v be_v there_o and_o be_o heal_v than_o he_o make_v no_o question_n so_o do_v saint_n john_n here_o all_o we_o have_v receive_v grace_n for_o grace_n therefore_o come_v as_o a_o bird_n that_o have_v receive_v from_o a_o full_a heap_n call_v his_o fellow_n so_o do_v we_o one_o another_o say_v not_o therefore_o alas_o my_o sin_n be_v so_o great_a my_o want_n so_o many_o that_o i_o shall_v not_o be_v supply_v but_o rather_o think_v thus_o if_o there_o be_v grace_n for_o so_o many_o then_o sure_o there_o be_v enough_o for_o i_o only_o be_v sure_a to_o receive_v it_o in_o a_o acceptable_a 6._o time_n when_o it_o be_v offer_v in_o the_o hour_n of_o salvation_n 4._o
