without_o repentance_n no_o god_n have_v order_v a_o way_n inviolable_o and_o indispensable_o wherein_o he_o will_v vouchsafe_v his_o pardon_n and_o no_o otherways_o but_o although_o god_n out_o of_o

to_o take_v thy_o guilt_n away_o 2._o a_o second_o reason_n why_o god_n though_o he_o pardon_v may_v yet_o deny_v the_o manifestation_n of_o it_o be_v because_o hereby_o god_n will_v make_v we_o

of_o god_n favour_n do_v not_o present_o break_v through_o the_o cloud_n that_o so_o david_n may_v feel_v how_o bitter_a a_o thing_n it_o be_v to_o sin_n against_o god_n as_o god_n suffer_v isaac_n

will_v kill_v and_o wound_v those_o who_o he_o intend_v to_o make_v alive_a he_o will_v bruise_v they_o and_o break_v they_o that_o so_o they_o may_v judge_v the_o seem_a good_a in_o sin_n to_o be_v nothing_o to_o the_o real_a evil_n that_o follow_v it_o 3._o and_o from_o this_o second_o issue_v a_o three_o reason_n viz._n to_o make_v we_o more_o watchful_a and_o diligent_a against_o the_o time_n to_o come_v peter_n bitterness_n of_o soul_n be_v a_o special_a preservative_n against_o the_o like_a temptation_n as_o bitter_a potion_n kill_v the_o worm_n in_o child_n stomach_n it_o must_v needs_o

and_o supernatural_a way_n of_o believe_v it_o be_v that_o pardon_n may_v be_v in_o heaven_n when_o we_o can_v apply_v it_o in_o our_o conscience_n hence_o though_o the_o promise_n be_v never_o so_o much_o for_o our_o ease_n and_o thereupon_o infinite_o to_o be_v desire_v yet_o the_o way_n of_o believe_v this_o be_v so_o far_o above_o natural_a conscience_n which_o expect_v justification_n by_o work_n that_o the_o heart_n of_o a_o man_n have_v much_o ado_n to_o close_v with_o it_o therefore_o faith_n be_v not_o like_o other_o grace_n or_o duty_n viz._n love_n of_o god_n humility_n etc._n

this_o kind_n of_o believe_v in_o the_o righteousness_n of_o a_o mediator_n for_o as_o the_o object_n of_o faith_n viz._n christ_n be_v only_o by_o revelation_n no_o council_n of_o man_n or_o angel_n can_v have_v excogitated_a such_o a_o truth_n so_o faith_n as_o it_o be_v the_o hand_n or_o organ_n apply_v christ_n righteousness_n be_v a_o duty_n not_o manifest_v by_o humane_a light_n but_o

of_o sin_n only_o by_o faith_n in_o his_o blood_n hence_o the_o scripture_n make_v faith_n the_o gift_n of_o god_n which_o come_v from_o the_o spirit_n into_o our_o heart_n meet_v with_o much_o
