if_o thou_o do_v sin_n god_n be_v merciful_a he_o be_v full_a of_o pity_n exod._n 34.6.7_o he_o be_v gracious_a and_o long_a suffering_n therefore_o question_v not_o but_o thou_o will_v do_v well_o &_o we_o find_v this_o answer_n very_o ready_a in_o their_o mouth_n when_o we_o come_v to_o set_v their_o sin_n before_o they_o and_o demand_v how_o they_o expect_v to_o be_v save_v see_v they_o live_v so_o in_o sin_n the_o answer_n be_v god_n be_v merciful_a and_o i_o hope_v he_o will_v pardon_v my_o iniquity_n by_o this_o wile_n of_o satan_n the_o mercy_n of_o god_n be_v abuse_v and_o the_o sinner_n undo_v for_o ever_o it_o be_v true_a that_o god_n mercy_n be_v infinite_a and_o he_o be_v full_a of_o pity_n and_o tenderness_n unto_o poor_a creature_n but_o his_o mercy_n will_v not_o save_v without_o christ_n i_o shall_v not_o now_o enter_v into_o that_o dispute_n whether_o or_o no_o god_n can_v save_v sinner_n by_o his_o mercy_n alone_o without_o any_o consideration_n of_o or_o relation_n unto_o the_o lord_n jesus_n but_o this_o i_o assert_v from_o christ_n own_o word_n jo._n 14.6_o that_o there_o be_v no_o come_n to_o the_o father_n but_o by_o the_o son_n no_o come_n to_o he_o for_o mercy_n pardon_n and_o salvation_n but_o by_o christ_n alone_o but_o consider_v further_o it_o be_v the_o malice_n of_o satan_n to_o thy_o soul_n and_o he_o design_n only_a cruelty_n when_o he_o keep_v thou_o in_o thy_o sin_n and_o yet_o flatter_v thou_o with_o hope_n of_o mercy_n i_o do_v not_o write_v this_o to_o discourage_v any_o poor_a penitent_a sinner_n from_o find_v mercy_n but_o to_o bring_v delude_v sinner_n from_o the_o abuse_n of_o it_o and_o discover_v the_o wile_n of_o satan_n show_v they_o the_o only_a way_n to_o obtain_v it_o for_o never_o think_v to_o be_v save_v by_o his_o mercy_n when_o thou_o have_v live_v as_o long_o as_o thou_o can_v in_o sin_n for_o god_n be_v a_o consume_a fire_n to_o all_o such_o heb._n 12.29_o and_o instead_o of_o extend_v mercy_n he_o will_v on_o the_o contrary_n condemn_v thou_o if_o thou_o do_v not_o come_v unto_o christ_n rom._n 8.1_o 21_o he_o impede_v they_o by_o begete_v prejudices_fw-la in_o they_o against_o the_o faithful_a minister_n of_o the_o lord_n jesus_n and_o if_o he_o can_v but_o do_v this_o he_o think_v he_o have_v do_v the_o work_n thus_o he_o do_v in_o the_o jew_n act._n 3.45_o when_o paul_n and_o barnabas_n have_v preach_v christ_n and_o so_o consequent_o salvation_n to_o the_o gentile_n they_o then_o contradict_v and_o blaspheme_n and_o be_v file_v with_o envy_n against_o they_o christ_n ambassador_n be_v the_o very_a butt_n satan_n shoot_v at_o and_o he_o know_v if_o he_o can_v but_o keep_v sinner_n from_o embrace_v their_o doctrine_n than_o he_o have_v they_o secure_a because_o christ_n have_v commit_v such_o treasure_n unto_o they_o and_o his_o choose_a they_o as_o instrument_n in_o a_o ordinary_a way_n to_o convert_v sinner_n and_o turn_v they_o from_o darkness_n unto_o light_n and_o from_o the_o power_n of_o satan_n unto_o god_n act._n 26.18_o and_o as_o christ_n say_v jo._n 15.20_o if_o they_o have_v keep_v my_o say_n they_o will_v keep_v you_o also_o satan_n be_v not_o ignorant_a of_o this_o that_o the_o preach_v of_o the_o gospel_n be_v the_o mean_n of_o conversion_n and_o the_o hear_n of_o it_o the_o mean_n of_o the_o begete_v faith_n in_o the_o lord_n jesus_n rom._n 20.14_o therefore_o he_o do_v all_o he_o can_v to_o prevent_v sinner_n &_o this_o he_o do_v sometime_o by_o scandalize_a of_o they_o and_o cast_v contempt_n upon_o they_o give_v forth_o name_n of_o schismatic_n heretic_n and_o the_o like_a as_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n have_v do_v and_o some_o other_o sometime_o by_o blaspheme_v the_o doctrine_n they_o deliver_v as_o though_o it_o be_v not_o congruent_a to_o the_o word_n of_o truth_n but_o sinner_n thou_o have_v no_o reason_n to_o believe_v he_o for_o he_o be_v a_o liar_n and_o a_o murderer_n and_o seek_v the_o blood_n of_o thy_o soul_n and_o under_o pretence_n of_o keep_v thou_o from_o delusion_n he_o delude_v thou_o altogether_o for_o although_o the_o world_n and_o devil_n hate_v they_o persecute_v they_o and_o speak_v evil_a of_o they_o that_o be_v no_o argument_n that_o they_o be_v not_o therefore_o christ_n minister_n and_o servant_n but_o rather_o that_o they_o be_v so_o jo._n 15.30_o 22._o satan_n hinder_v by_o persuade_v the_o sinner_n that_o christ_n service_n be_v very_o difficult_a his_o yoke_n be_v heavy_a and_o his_o burden_n intolerable_a that_o christ_n be_v a_o hard_a master_n and_o will_v exact_v

pray_v always_o watch_v always_o and_o in_o all_o thing_n 2_o tim._n 4.5_o thus_o satan_n render_v the_o service_n of_o christ_n as_o unlovely_a and_o intolerable_a as_o may_v be_v to_o the_o end_n he_o may_v impede_fw-la the_o sinner_n from_o come_v home_o to_o christ_n but_o satan_n be_v not_o to_o be_v credit_v before_o jesus_n christ_n therefore_o i_o say_v hearken_v to_o what_o christ_n
