out_o of_o his_o den_n 4._o a_o man_n may_v come_v to_o know_v the_o evil_a of_o sin_n by_o some_o dreadful_a judgement_n that_o god_n have_v execute_v upon_o sinner_n here_o in_o this_o world_n and_o by_o the_o terror_n of_o conscience_n that_o there_o be_v upon_o the_o wicked_a as_o on_o cain_n saul_n and_o judas_n etc._n etc._n man_n many_o time_n here_o for_o their_o sin_n by_o the_o wrath_n of_o god_n that_o be_v reveal_v from_o heaven_n against_o sin_n in_o the_o execution_n of_o it_o but_o take_v all_o those_o together_o yea_o do_v we_o see_v the_o woeful_a execution_n of_o the_o wrath_n of_o god_n in_o hell_n its_o self_n do_v the_o lord_n open_a unto_o we_o a_o door_n into_o the_o chamber_n of_o death_n to_o discover_v the_o torment_n that_o be_v there_o and_o to_o hear_v all_o the_o shriek_n and_o cry_n of_o the_o damn_a in_o everlasting_a burn_n yet_o all_o this_o the_o threat_n of_o the_o law_n the_o terror_n of_o it_o the_o agony_n of_o conscience_n the_o torment_n of_o the_o damn_a in_o hell_n i_o say_v put_v all_o together_o and_o they_o will_v not_o so_o much_o nor_o so_o clear_o discover_v god_n infinite_a hatred_n of_o sin_n as_o what_o we_o find_v in_o the_o gospel_n the_o red_a glass_n of_o the_o blood_n of_o jesus_n christ_n that_o be_v shed_v for_o sin_n do_v discover_v more_o of_o god_n hatred_n against_o it_o than_o all_o the_o torment_n of_o hell_n can_v do_v or_o all_o the_o threat_n of_o the_o law_n can_v do_v god_n do_v in_o inflict_v his_o wrath_n upon_o his_o son_n for_o man_n sin_n thus_o preach_v unto_o the_o world_n well_o i_o see_v that_o you_o can_v be_v bring_v to_o understand_v how_o i_o hate_v sin_n with_o a_o perfect_a hatred_n but_o i_o will_v have_v one_o way_n of_o argument_n to_o convince_v you_o that_o it_o be_v impossible_a you_o shall_v stand_v against_o i_o will_v therefore_o send_v my_o son_n to_o take_v your_o nature_n upon_o he_o and_o to_o stand_v charge_v with_o your_o debt_n and_o you_o shall_v see_v how_o i_o will_v deal_v with_o he_o who_o be_v your_o surety_n i_o will_v not_o spare_v he_o i_o will_v power_n out_o the_o vial_n of_o my_o wrath_n upon_o he_o to_o the_o last_o drop_n i_o will_v make_v he_o a_o curse_n for_o sin_n though_o he_o be_v infinite_o bless_v and_o equal_a with_o myself_o yet_o i_o will_v make_v he_o cry_v out_o in_o the_o anguish_n and_o trouble_n of_o his_o soul_n my_o god_n my_o god_n why_o have_v thou_o forsake_v i_o he_o shall_v tread_v the_o winepress_n of_o my_o wrath_n i_o will_v make_v the_o burden_n of_o sin_n heavy_a to_o he_o that_o shall_v make_v he_o fall_v grovel_v upon_o his_o face_n and_o sweat_v great_a clodder_n of_o blood_n in_o a_o winter_n season_n that_o shall_v run_v down_o from_o his_o body_n upon_o the_o cold_a ground_n i_o will_v

though_o it_o be_v true_a that_o the_o principal_a end_n of_o the_o death_n of_o christ_n it_o be_v to_o satisfy_v divine_a justice_n but_o there_o be_v another_o end_n that_o god_n aim_v at_o in_o the_o death_n of_o his_o son_n to_o declare_v to_o all_o the_o world_n to_o man_n and_o angel_n how_o infinite_o the_o lord_n do_v abominate_a all_o sin_n now_o this_o be_v hold_v forth_o in_o the_o

that_o the_o lord_n have_v enlighten_v you_o by_o his_o holy_a spirit_n to_o understand_v the_o certainty_n and_o reality_n of_o this_o oh_o then_o let_v your_o conversation_n be_v as_o become_v this_o evangelical_n truth_n quest_n what_o conversation_n do_v become_v this_o answ_n hence_o then_o your_o own_o reason_n can_v but_o make_v a_o consequence_n from_o this_o that_o the_o gospel_n hold_v forth_o hence_o then_o cast_v away_o all_o sin_n as_o a_o abominable_a thing_n from_o you_o what_o have_v i_o to_o do_v any_o more_o with_o idol_n hence_o then_o call_v no_o sin_n little_a which_o so_o much_o provoke_v the_o lord_n indeed_o if_o you_o be_v only_o act_v by_o the_o light_n of_o reason_n reason_n perhaps_o will_v tell_v you_o that_o such_o thing_n be_v but_o little_a and_o small_a and_o you_o need_v make_v no_o such_o great_a matter_n about_o they_o but_o now_o be_v not_o thou_o a_o christian_n a_o follower_n of_o christ_n a_o friend_n to_o the_o gospel_n for_o shame_n call_v no_o sin_n little_a for_o in_o the_o gospel_n you_o see_v the_o infinite_a hatred_n of_o god_n against_o all_o sin_n yea_o there_o be_v more_o evil_a in_o the_o least_o sin_n than_o in_o the_o great_a affliction_n whatsoever_o that_o be_v a_o point_n that_o have_v be_v long_o since_o open_v to_o you_o at_o large_a and_o this_o will_v show_v it_o clear_o there_o be_v more_o evil_a in_o any_o sin_n than_o in_o the_o great_a affliction_n by_o the_o deal_n of_o god_n the_o father_n with_o his_o son_n and_o therefore_o if_o you_o will_v be_v willing_a to_o live_v as_o become_v the_o gospel_n of_o christ_n rather_o be_v willing_a to_o bear_v any_o affliction_n in_o the_o world_n than_o wilful_o to_o commit_v the_o least_o sin_n be_v these_o two_o in_o the_o balance_n here_o be_v a_o great_a and_o a_o sore_a cross_n you_o think_v how_o shall_v i_o endure_v that_o on_o the_o other_o side_n here_o be_v a_o sin_n to_o be_v commit_v if_o i_o venture_v upon_o this_o sin_n it_o may_v be_v i_o shall_v be_v deliver_v from_o this_o affliction_n now_o will_v this_o become_v the_o gospel_n of_o christ_n for_o one_o that_o profess_v that_o he_o do_v believe_v that_o god_n the_o father_n deal_v thus_o with_o his_o son_n that_o have_v sin_n but_o by_o imputation_n upon_o he_o that_o he_o let_v out_o the_o vial_n of_o his_o wrath_n upon_o he_o and_o make_v he_o a_o curse_n for_o sin_n and_o if_o christ_n have_v but_o undertake_v for_o to_o have_v satisfy_v for_o one_o sin_n though_o the_o least_o sin_n he_o must_v have_v die_v for_o it_o for_o the_o wage_n of_o sin_n be_v death_n of_o sin_n indefinite_o it_o be_v death_n and_o do_v i_o believe_v this_o and_o yet_o shall_v i_o rather_o choose_v the_o commission_n of_o a_o sin_n than_o the_o bear_n of_o any_o affliction_n oh_o this_o be_v infinite_o unbeseeming_a the_o gospel_n of_o jesus_n christ_n do_v i_o believe_v this_o and_o be_v it_o real_a unto_o my_o soul_n oh_o let_v i_o then_o manifest_a in_o my_o whole_a course_n and_o life_n that_o i_o tremble_v at_o the_o very_a thought_n of_o a_o sin_n at_o the_o appearance_n of_o evil_n and_o be_o as_o much_o afraid_a of_o the_o least_o spark_n of_o lust_n as_o of_o the_o fire_n of_o hell_n let_v i_o discover_v the_o temptation_n to_o sin_n that_o i_o may_v endeavour_v to_o avoid_v all_o temptation_n to_o sin_n because_o god_n have_v give_v such_o a_o testimony_n from_o heaven_n against_o sin_n oh_o it_o be_v a_o loud_a testimony_n indeed_o that_o god_n have_v give_v from_o heaven_n against_o sin_n in_o the_o death_n of_o his_o son_n oh_o then_o let_v my_o conversation_n be_v such_o as_o i_o may_v make_v it_o appear_v that_o i_o be_o afraid_a of_o the_o beginning_n of_o sin_n of_o the_o first_o whisper_v and_o motion_n to_o sin_n oh_o set_v i_o not_o stand_v dandle_v of_o sin_n in_o my_o thought_n and_o roll_n it_o as_o a_o sweet_a morsel_n under_o my_o tongue_n let_v i_o not_o entertain_v it_o in_o my_o affection_n in_o the_o least_o degree_n as_o to_o love_v it_o to_o approve_v it_o to_o delight_v in_o it_o but_o as_o soon_o as_o ever_o it_o enter_v into_o thy_o heart_n cast_v it_o out_o present_o let_v it_o not_o lodge_v within_o thy_o door_n one_o moment_n raise_v up_o all_o the_o power_n of_o thy_o soul_n against_o it_o follow_v it_o with_o hue_n and_o cry_n till_o thou_o have_v overtake_v it_o and_o then_o do_v justice_n and_o judgement_n upon_o it_o what_o though_o it_o may_v be_v a_o delilah_n yet_o cut_v it_o off_o oh_o let_v i_o take_v heed_n of_o lie_v in_o any_o sin_n have_v i_o be_v overtake_v in_o my_o sin_n oh_o let_v i_o be_v willing_a rather_o to_o shame_v and_o condemn_v myself_o to_o deny_v any_o thing_n in_o the_o world_n rather_o than_o to_o continue_v in_o that_o sin_n the_o lord_n
