that_o all_o shall_v be_v as_o they_o be_v shall_v error_n be_v set_v for_o a_o rule_n if_o one_o be_v bear_v deform_v or_o want_v some_o of_o those_o integral_a part_n which_o make_v up_o a_o body_n will_v any_o that_o be_v in_o his_o wit_n be_v willing_a to_o be_v conform_v to_o that_o unnatural_a idea_n if_o a_o man_n have_v a_o child_n bear_v defective_a in_o any_o limb_n blind_a lame_a or_o any_o way_n mishapen_a will_v he_o not_o think_v it_o a_o great_a favour_n if_o it_o may_v be_v grant_v to_o he_o to_o have_v this_o child_n bear_v again_o in_o a_o handsome_a form_n and_o restore_v to_o a_o beautiful_a proportion_n wise_a man_n have_v ever_o think_v that_o it_o be_v a_o great_a monstrosity_n to_o be_v misshape_a in_o soul_n 9_o the_o mind_n corrupt_v 22_o the_o affection_n corrupt_v with_o lust_n and_o so_o make_v dishonourable_a to_o the_o state_n of_o human_a nature_n 1._o the_o holy_a scripture_n do_v very_o just_o call_v this_o a_o corruption_n of_o human_a nature_n for_o every_o thing_n deserve_v that_o name_n when_o it_o have_v lose_v that_o power_n which_o be_v the_o proper_a excellency_n of_o its_o nature_n and_o by_o which_o it_o be_v fit_v to_o its_o end_n this_o degeneracy_n be_v so_o great_a that_o the_o holy_a scripture_n say_v man_n be_v degrade_v by_o it_o into_o the_o condition_n of_o brute_n beast_n 2_o pet._n 2._o 12._o and_o in_o other_o place_n the_o philosopher_n see_v it_o by_o the_o light_n of_o nature_n and_o have_v speak_v more_o high_o in_o the_o case_n 3._o arrian_n call_v they_o 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d i._n e._n the_o most_o unhappy_a among_o beast_n and_o add_v that_o if_o there_o be_v any_o thing_n 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d more_o wretched_a and_o abject_a a_o man_n deprave_v with_o sin_n be_v that_o the_o

under_o every_o ungoverned_a passion_n second_o motive_n this_o be_v enough_o to_o have_v show_v the_o reasonableness_n of_o repentance_n and_o i_o may_v now_o add_v the_o danger_n which_o a_o sinner_n incur_v by_o impenitence_n for_o he_o make_v himself_o liable_a to_o that_o vengeance_n which_o god_n will_v take_v for_o the_o contempt_n of_o his_o order_n but_o before_o i_o speak_v of_o that_o i_o shall_v discourse_v of_o my_o second_o motive_n to_o repentance_n which_o be_v take_v from_o the_o goodness_n of_o god_n who_o be_v willing_a to_o forgive_v the_o penitent_a sinner_n and_o that_o be_v so_o great_a a_o encouragement_n to_o this_o duty_n that_o the_o apostle_n say_v it_o lead_v we_o to_o repentance_n 4._o that_o it_o do_v so_o will_v be_v see_v plain_o in_o the_o account_n which_o i_o shall_v give_v of_o it_o in_o six_o particular_n 1._o the_o first_o encouragement_n be_v that_o declaration_n which_o god_n have_v make_v concern_v his_o own_o nature_n that_o it_o be_v not_o implacable_a but_o that_o he_o be_v willing_a to_o forgive_v those_o who_o have_v sin_v if_o they_o repent_v of_o their_o sin_n this_o goodness_n of_o the_o divine_a nature_n god_n make_v to_o pass_v before_o moses_n 6._o when_o he_o desire_v to_o see_v the_o the_o glory_n of_o the_o godhead_n when_o god_n proclaim_v himself_o to_o be_v the_o lord_n the_o lord_n god_n merciful_a and_o gracious_a long_o suffer_v and_o abundant_a in_o goodness_n and_o truth_n keep_v mercy_n for_o thousand_o forgive_a iniquity_n transgression_n and_o sin_n this_o glorious_a name_n be_v give_v as_o that_o by_o which_o god_n be_v willing_a to_o be_v know_v to_o the_o world_n and_o it_o do_v give_v we_o notice_n of_o that_o which_o do_v most_o concern_v we_o to_o know_v of_o the_o deity_n god_n by_o his_o royal_a prerogative_n have_v power_n to_o forgive_v if_o he_o please_v by_o right_a of_o creation_n he_o be_v the_o sovereign_a rector_n of_o the_o world_n he_o who_o make_v all_o thing_n must_v need_v have_v authority_n to_o give_v they_o law_n it_o be_v fit_a that_o all_o creature_n shall_v obey_v he_o who_o give_v they_o their_o be_v as_o he_o have_v power_n to_o give_v law_n so_o also_o to_o threaten_v in_o case_n of_o disobedience_n and_o so_o he_o only_o be_v dominus_fw-la poenarum_fw-la the_o punishment_n of_o sin_n be_v sole_o at_o his_o appointment_n for_o whatsoever_o mischief_n sin_n may_v do_v in_o the_o consequence_n of_o it_o to_o other_o it_o be_v his_o law_n which_o be_v violate_v by_o it_o it_o be_v his_o authority_n which_o be_v affront_v but_o as_o god_n have_v only_o right_a to_o punish_v so_o if_o he_o please_v it_o be_v his_o prerogative_n not_o to_o punish_v his_o threaten_n be_v conditional_a and_o so_o in_o themselves_o capable_a of_o relaxation_n he_o may_v depart_v from_o his_o right_n if_o he_o will_v and_o forgive_v we_o what_o we_o be_v not_o able_a to_o pay_v he_o may_v pass_v by_o those_o wrong_n for_o which_o we_o can_v never_o make_v he_o amends_o as_o indeed_o we_o can_v for_o one_o sin_n for_o as_o daniel_n say_v to_o the_o lord_n our_o god_n belong_v mercy_n and_o forgiveness_n 9_o though_o we_o have_v rebel_v against_o he_o as_o it_o his_o royal_a prerogative_n that_o he_o can_v forgive_v so_o it_o be_v his_o divine_a benignity_n that_o he_o be_v willing_a to_o do_v it_o the_o goodness_n of_o god_n for_o which_o we_o constant_o adore_v he_o be_v a_o voluntary_a propension_n of_o the_o divine_a nature_n to_o do_v good_a to_o his_o creature_n according_a to_o their_o several_a capacity_n and_o he_o have_v a_o particular_a love_n to_o mankind_n which_o make_v he_o willing_a to_o promote_v their_o happiness_n and_o as_o sin_n be_v the_o only_a hindrance_n of_o that_o he_o have_v declare_v his_o love_n by_o his_o willingness_n to_o prevent_v the_o mischievous_a effect_n of_o it_o by_o forgiveness_n here_o the_o divine_a goodness_n do_v magnify_v itself_o against_o our_o wickedness_n the_o divine_a wisdom_n find_v a_o way_n to_o save_v the_o offender_n from_o the_o ruin_n of_o his_o own_o folly_n and_o god_n justice_n show_v itself_o wise_a and_o good_a not_o reach_v after_o that_o satisfaction_n which_o can_v be_v have_v to_o wit_n not_o require_v that_o the_o offence_n be_v undo_v for_o that_o can_v be_v nor_o yet_o seek_v the_o utmost_a which_o may_v be_v have_v which_o be_v that_o the_o sinner_n be_v destroy_v but_o be_v content_a with_o such_o a_o reparation_n as_o may_v be_v make_v of_o the_o divine_a honour_n by_o repentance_n by_o which_o sin_n be_v extirpate_v and_o the_o sinner_n save_v i_o have_v speak_v of_o this_o particular_a more_o large_o to_o fix_v a_o right_a notion_n of_o the_o temper_n of_o the_o deity_n in_o man_n soul_n it_o be_v no_o small_a comfort_n to_o we_o that_o we_o know_v god_n be_v not_o necessitate_v to_o execute_v his_o threaten_n and_o that_o he_o be_v of_o so_o benign_a a_o nature_n that_o he_o be_v willing_a to_o part_v with_o his_o right_n rather_o than_o ruin_v his_o creature_n this_o be_v a_o mighty_a encouragement_n to_o repentance_n and_o shall_v make_v every_o sinner_n say_v as_o the_o prophet_n do_v 18._o who_o be_v a_o god_n like_o unto_o thou_o that_o pardon_v iniquity_n and_o pass_v by_o the_o transgression_n of_o the_o remnant_n of_o his_o heritage_n he_o retain_v not_o his_o anger_n for_o ever_o because_o he_o delight_v in_o mercy_n be_v thou_o so_o good_a though_o i_o have_v be_v so_o bad_a i_o will_v rebel_v no_o more_o i_o hope_v in_o thy_o mercy_n i_o will_v return_v we_o read_v that_o benhadad_n and_o his_o great_a army_n invade_v israel_n 30._o and_o when_o they_o be_v beat_v the_o very_a report_n that_o the_o king_n of_o israel_n be_v merciful_a make_v they_o come_v with_o sackcloth_n upon_o their_o loin_n and_o rope_n about_o their_o neck_n sue_v for_o pardon_n with_o all_o the_o sign_n of_o penitence_n and_o submission_n we_o be_v tell_v also_o in_o the_o story_n of_o augustus_n caesar_n that_o there_o be_v one_o corocotta_n a_o spanish_a thief_n so_o famous_a for_o do_v mischief_n that_o the_o emperor_n promise_v ten_o thousand_o sesterce_n to_o he_o that_o shall_v bring_v he_o alive_a into_o his_o presence_n here_o upon_o corocotta_n fear_v his_o danger_n if_o he_o continue_v his_o course_n and_o have_v hear_v of_o the_o generous_a temper_n of_o augustus_n carry_v himself_o to_o he_o it_o can_v not_o be_v the_o hope_n of_o the_o price_n set_v upon_o his_o head_n that_o can_v make_v he_o do_v so_o for_o what_o pleasure_n can_v a_o man_n take_v in_o tell_v money_n when_o he_o be_v go_v to_o
