of_o they_o he_o name_v care_n for_o behold_v say_v he_o this_o thing_n that_o you_o have_v be_v godly_a sorry_a what_o care_v it_o have_v wrought_v in_o you_o that_o be_v a_o earnest_a study_n and_o as_o it_o be_v a_o take_v think_v to_o please_v god_n for_o where_o true_a repentance_n have_v once_o wrought_v there_o follow_v great_a care_n afterward_o care_v i_o say_v to_o live_v in_o the_o obedience_n of_o god_n care_v to_o keep_v a_o good_a conscience_n care_v to_o reform_v our_o household_n care_v to_o instruct_v wyve_n child_n and_o servant_n in_o the_o knowledge_n of_o god_n care_v to_o pray_v with_o they_o morning_n and_o evening_n and_o general_o care_v to_o perform_v all_o duty_n belong_v unto_o god_n so_o that_o repentance_n be_v not_o a_o careless_a but_o a_o careful_a thing_n let_v not_o man_n think_v therefore_o that_o although_o they_o welter_v in_o the_o carelessness_n of_o the_o flesh_n and_o sleep_v in_o security_n all_o the_o day_n of_o their_o life_n yet_o their_o repentance_n be_v good_a enough_o yea_o and_o though_o they_o spend_v whole_a day_n highte_n month_n and_o year_n in_o vanity_n play_n and_o pastime_n in_o idleness_n fond_a delight_n pleasure_n and_o voluptuousness_n in_o negligence_n of_o all_o duty_n forgetfulness_n of_o god_n and_o contempt_n of_o all_o good_a thing_n yet_o for_o all_o this_o they_o repent_v for_o their_o sin_n and_o hope_v to_o be_v save_v as_o well_o as_o any_o other_o but_o alas_o how_o can_v these_o thing_n stand_v together_o to_o repent_v for_o sin_n &_o to_o delight_v in_o sin_n to_o hate_v sin_n and_o love_v sin_n to_o fly_v from_o sin_n and_o to_o follow_v after_o sin_n but_o these_o man_n i_o perceive_v will_v fain_o make_v saint_n paul_n a_o liar_n for_o he_o say_v a_o m●●_n have_v never_o repent_v except_o he_o be_v careful_a afterward_o to_o please_v god_n they_o say_v they_o do_v repent_v &_o have_v repent_v although_o they_o live_v never_o so_o wretched_o &_o careless_o but_o when_o all_o licentious_a and_o lewd_a liver_n filthy_a whoremonger_n beastly_a belligodde_n and_o careless_a caitiff_n come_v to_o the_o kingdom_n of_o god_n and_o be_v save_v then_o shall_v these_o man_n also_o come_v with_o they_o to_o be_v save_v by_o careless_a repentance_n the_o next_o quality_n and_o effect_n of_o repentance_n be_v name_v clear_v of_o ourselves_o that_o be_v discharge_v of_o ourselves_o when_o sin_n do_v accuse_v we_o and_o lie_v thing_n to_o our_o charge_n for_o when_o sin_n and_o satan_n do_v terrify_v the_o conscience_n of_o y_fw-fr e_o poor_a penitent_a sinner_n by_o and_o by_o he_o flé_v unto_o god_n and_o ask_v forgiveness_n through_o jesus_n christ_n and_o so_o clear_v himself_o and_o make_v his_o apology_n against_o sin_n and_o satan_n like_v as_o a_o man_n that_o be_v present_v into_o the_o court_n upon_o suspicion_n of_o whoredom_n or_o any_o other_o notorious_a crime_n must_v clear_v himself_o by_o witness_n of_o that_o which_o be_v lay_v to_o his_o charge_n so_o the_o conscience_n that_o be_v cite_v by_o satan_n before_o the_o justice_n and_o judgement_n of_o seat_n of_o god_n clear_v itself_o by_o repentance_n and_o ask_v forgiveness_n through_o jesus_n christ_n so_o that_o here_o we_o may_v see_v a_o wonderful_a fruit_n of_o a_o penitent_a conscience_n it_o can_v abide_v the_o accusation_n of_o sin_n it_o can_v not_o be_v quiet_a till_o it_o be_v reconcile_v unto_o god_n &_o so_o have_v peace_n within_o itself_o for_o this_o be_v to_o be_v note_v in_o the_o godly_a man_n that_o when_o he_o have_v commit_v any_o sin_n and_o his_o conscience_n tell_v he_o of_o it_o by_z and_o by_o he_o feel_v lead_n within_o he_o and_o be_v all_o heavy_a and_o can_v not_o fléepe_v quiet_o till_o he_o have_v get_v into_o some_o corner_n where_o he_o may_v mourn_v and_o lament_v to_o the_o full_a and_o confess_v and_o lie_v open_v himself_o unto_o god_n and_o so_o clear_v himself_o through_o christ_n jesus_n his_o conscience_n bear_v he_o witness_v that_o his_o sin_n be_v forgive_v whereas_o contrariwise_o the_o ungodly_a man_n when_o his_o conscience_n accuse_v he_o of_o sin_n he_o dispatch_v away_o all_o such_o thought_n and_o tread_v they_o under_o foot_n and_o by_o and_o by_o call_v for_o a_o pair_n of_o card_n or_o table_n and_o some_o merry_a companion_n to_o drive_v away_o the_o time_n and_o to_o put_v out_o all_o
