and_o the_o wickede_a we_o have_v be_v and_o the_o more_o shameful_o we_o have_v behave_v ourselves_o the_o more_o ashamed_a we_o grow_v to_o confess_v that_o we_o have_v so_o long_o be_v mad_a and_o base_a and_o brutish_a and_o to_o change_v our_o course_n of_o life_n for_o that_o which_o we_o have_v so_o long_o scorn_v as_o foolishness_n there_o be_v so_o many_o restitution_n reparation_n

very_o few_o who_o have_v live_v long_o in_o wickedness_n have_v courage_n to_o venture_v upon_o and_o go_v through_o all_o this_o beside_o there_o be_v not_o very_o many_o person_n who_o by_o live_v

not_o unusual_a from_o all_o this_o i_o suppose_v it_o must_v now_o be_v very_o plain_a to_o every_o one_o that_o as_o we_o be_v not_o sure_a of_o any_o time_n at_o all_o hereafter_o to_o repent_v in_o so_o neither_o can_v we_o be_v sure_a if_o we_o shall_v have_v time_n that_o we_o shall_v repent_v in_o it_o nay_o i_o think_v it_o be_v plain_a enough_o that_o it_o be_v more_o likely_a of_o the_o two_o that_o we_o shall_v not_o sect_n vi_o the_o three_o danger_n of_o delay_n a_o three_o danger_n of_o delay_v our_o repentance_n be_v this_o that_o we_o know_v not_o if_o in_o some_o sort_n we_o shall_v repent_v hereafter_o whether_o our_o repentance_n then_o will_v be_v accept_v and_o do_v we_o any_o good_a or_o none_o and_o certain_o this_o be_v a_o point_n which_o any_o wise_a man_n will_v be_v well_o satisfy_v in_o before_o he_o venture_v to_o defer_v his_o repentance_n one_o moment_n long_o let_v we_o therefore_o consider_v well_o of_o it_o shall_v we_o defer_v our_o repentance_n till_o it_o will_v do_v we_o no_o good_a and_o be_v we_o sure_a that_o if_o we_o defer_v it_o now_o it_o will_v do_v we_o good_a hereafter_o if_o god_n will_v not_o accept_v of_o it_o it_o can_v do_v we_o no_o good_a and_o how_o be_v we_o sure_a that_o god_n will_v then_o accept_v of_o it_o whether_o he_o will_v accept_v of_o it_o or_o not_o i_o know_v not_o any_o one_o in_o the_o world_n beside_o himself_o that_o can_v tell_v and_o i_o do_v not_o remember_v that_o god_n himself_o have_v anywhere_o tell_v we_o that_o he_o will_n he_o have_v tell_v we_o that_o without_o repentance_n he_o will_v not_o save_v we_o and_o he_o have_v tell_v we_o that_o if_o we_o repent_v we_o shall_v be_v save_v but_o i_o can_v remember_v where_o he_o have_v tell_v we_o that_o though_o we_o repent_v not_o now_o but_o put_v it_o off_o to_o another_o time_n we_o may_v then_o so_o repent_v that_o he_o will_v accept_v of_o our_o repentance_n and_o save_v we_o it_o will_v be_v say_v by_o those_o who_o have_v no_o mind_n to_o repent_v yet_o that_o god_n have_v tell_v we_o that_o all_o who_o repent_v and_o believe_v the_o gospel_n shall_v be_v save_v and_o that_o if_o any_o man_n shall_v turn_v from_o all_o his_o wickedness_n which_o he_o have_v commit_v he_o shall_v live_v and_o therefore_o whether_o one_o repent_v early_a or_o late_o if_o he_o repent_v at_o all_o he_o shall_v be_v save_v now_o i_o very_o ready_o and_o glad_o grant_v what_o god_n in_o his_o word_n have_v tell_v we_o to_o our_o great_a encouragement_n and_o comfort_n if_o we_o will_v make_v a_o right_a use_n of_o it_o that_o christ_n jesus_n come_v into_o the_o world_n to_o save_v sinner_n and_o those_o very_a great_a sinner_n too_o and_o such_o as_o have_v continue_v very_o long_o in_o a_o state_n of_o sin_n and_o that_o we_o have_v no_o reason_n in_o the_o world_n to_o fear_v that_o any_o one_o how_o great_a a_o sinner_n soever_o he_o have_v be_v shall_v be_v reject_v of_o he_o if_o he_o unfeigned_o repent_v and_o believe_v the_o gospel_n all_o this_o be_v a_o most_o comfortable_a truth_n and_o we_o have_v great_a reason_n to_o be_v hearty_o thankful_a for_o it_o but_o after_o all_o this_o we_o have_v need_v to_o be_v very_o careful_a that_o we_o be_v not_o mistake_v in_o the_o meaning_n of_o those_o two_o word_n believe_v and_o repent_v and_o that_o we_o do_v not_o understand_v by_o they_o any_o other_o thing_n than_o that_o very_a faith_n and_o repentance_n unto_o which_o salvation_n be_v promise_v now_o as_o some_o i_o fear_v take_v a_o faith_n that_o imply_v not_o a_o holy_a life_n for_o a_o save_a faith_n so_o some_o may_v take_v repentance_n that_o imply_v not_o a_o holy_a life_n for_o a_o save_a repentance_n and_o it_o be_v to_o be_v great_o fear_v that_o both_o these_o be_v mistake_v and_o whoso_o consider_v those_o description_n of_o repentance_n which_o have_v be_v already_o give_v from_o the_o word_n of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n himself_o will_n i_o doubt_v not_o see_v cause_n enough_o to_o fear_v the_o same_o that_o i_o do_v i_o doubt_v not_o but_o many_o who_o have_v long_o delay_v their_o repentance_n do_v at_o length_n repent_v in_o very_o good_a earnest_n that_o they_o have_v do_v so_o foolish_o and_o i_o hope_v that_o some_o of_o they_o be_v accept_v of_o god_n but_o i_o do_v not_o think_v that_o all_o who_o repent_v in_o earnest_n of_o their_o wicked_a life_n past_a and_o of_o their_o long_a and_o foolish_a delay_n repent_v unto_o salvation_n and_o it_o be_v hard_o for_o any_o one_o to_o know_v certain_o whether_o any_o do_v or_o no._n god_n have_v not_o tell_v we_o how_o long_o any_o of_o we_o may_v hold_v on_o in_o our_o sin_n and_o not_o final_o exclude_v ourselves_o thereby_o from_o the_o benefit_n of_o repentance_n neither_o have_v he_o tell_v we_o that_o i_o know_v of_o that_o he_o will_v accept_v of_o the_o repentance_n of_o that_o man_n who_o have_v to_o the_o latter_a end_n of_o his_o life_n
