their_o profession_n of_o faith_n in_o he_o a_o holy_a and_o bless_a conversation_n have_v thus_o brief_o show_v you_o these_o thing_n i_o shall_v come_v in_o the_o next_o place_n to_o show_v you_o why_o some_o that_o as_o to_o word_n right_o name_v the_o name_n of_o christ_n do_v not_o depart_v from_o iniquity_n reason_n that_o it_o be_v incident_a to_o man_n to_o name_v the_o name_n of_o christ_n religious_o and_o not_o to_o depart_v from_o iniquity_n i_o have_v prove_v already_o and_o now_o i_o must_v show_v you_o why_o it_o be_v so_o and_o the_o reason_n be_v of_o three_o sort_n first_o some_o profess_v he_o reason_n yet_o have_v not_o save_v faith_n in_o he_o nor_o yet_o receive_v grace_n from_o he_o that_o some_o profess_v he_o that_o have_v not_o say_v in_o he_o nor_o receive_v grace_n from_o he_o i_o will_v make_v appear_v first_o and_o then_o that_o they_o do_v not_o depart_v from_o iniquity_n shall_v be_v show_v afterward_o that_o the_o first_o be_v true_a consider_v christ_n say_v to_o his_o disciple_n there_o be_v some_o of_o you_o that_o believe_v not_o 6.46_o and_o again_o for_o jesus_n know_v from_o the_o beginning_n who_o they_o be_v that_o believe_v not_o and_o who_o shall_v betray_v he_o now_o if_o they_o believe_v not_o they_o have_v none_o of_o his_o grace_n in_o they_o for_o faith_n be_v the_o first_o and_o head_n grace_n the_o beginning_n and_o lead_v grace_n he_o therefore_o that_o be_v destitute_a of_o that_o be_v empty_a of_o all_o the_o rest_n beside_o other_o scripture_n also_o confirm_v this_o truth_n james_n call_v some_o of_o the_o professor_n of_o christ_n that_o be_v in_o his_o day_n 2.20_o vain_a or_o empty_a man_n that_o be_v man_n void_a of_o grace_n and_o the_o apostle_n suggest_v in_o the_o very_a word_n below_o the_o text_n that_o as_o in_o god_n house_n there_o be_v golden_a and_o silver_n saint_n 2.20_o so_o their_o be_v also_o earthy_a and_o wooden_a one_o for_o in_o a_o great_a house_n as_o god_n be_v be_v not_o only_a vessel_n of_o gold_n and_o silver_n but_o also_o of_o wood_n and_o of_o earth_n 22.23_o and_o some_o to_o honour_n and_o some_o to_o dishonour_v that_o be_v some_o for_o heaven_n and_o some_o for_o hell_n now_o they_o be_v these_o wooden_a and_o earthy_a professor_n that_o he_o aim_v at_o in_o the_o text_n to_o wit_n that_o they_o shall_v depart_v from_o iniquity_n or_o else_o their_o profession_n will_v do_v they_o no_o good_a and_o these_o also_o that_o he_o despair_v of_o in_o the_o next_o word_n say_v but_o but_o in_o this_o great_a house_n of_o god_n there_o will_v not_o only_o be_v golden_a and_o silver_n christian_n but_o wooden_a and_o earthly_a one_o and_o if_o any_o man_n purge_v himself_o from_o these_o from_o these_o man_n company_n and_o from_o these_o man_n vice_n he_o shall_v be_v a_o vessel_n to_o honour_v sanctify_v and_o meet_v for_o the_o master_n use_n and_o prepare_v to_o every_o good_a work_n from_o all_o which_o it_o be_v gather_v that_o there_o be_v some_o that_o name_n the_o name_n of_o christ_n in_o a_o way_n of_o profession_n that_o have_v neither_o faith_n nor_o grace_n in_o they_o and_o so_o consequent_o that_o do_v not_o depart_v from_o iniquity_n for_o first_o these_o want_n that_o principle_n that_o holy_a and_o bless_a principle_n that_o shall_v induce_v they_o thereunto_o to_o wit_n the_o great_a and_o principal_a grace_n of_o the_o spirit_n and_o they_o be_v four_o first_o as_o i_o have_v say_v they_o want_v faith_n that_o heart_n purify_n grace_n for_o the_o heart_n be_v purify_v by_o faith_n 15.9_o i_o have_v show_v you_o already_o that_o depart_n from_o iniquity_n must_v be_v with_o the_o mind_n and_o affection_n or_o with_o the_o heart_n but_o how_o can_v that_o be_v where_o the_o heart_n be_v not_o sanctify_v and_o make_v holy_a for_o a_o unsanctified_a mind_n can_v depart_v from_o iniquity_n no_o more_o than_o the_o ethiopian_a can_v change_v his_o skin_n 13.23_o but_o nothing_o can_v purify_v the_o heart_n but_o faith_n therefore_o nothing_o can_v make_v a_o professor_n depart_v from_o iniquity_n where_o faith_n be_v want_v so_o then_o when_o man_n profess_o name_v the_o name_n of_o christ_n without_o have_v holy_a faith_n in_o he_o they_o still_o abide_v by_o their_o iniquity_n they_o depart_v not_o from_o their_o iniquity_n but_o rather_o make_v of_o their_o profession_n a_o cloak_n for_o their_o iniquity_n for_o their_o malice_n 2.16_o and_o for_o their_o covetousness_n and_o the_o like_a it_o be_v not_o profession_n but_o faith_n that_o bring_v god_n and_o the_o soul_n together_o and_o as_o long_o as_o god_n and_o the_o soul_n be_v at_o distance_n what_o ever_o profession_n be_v make_v there_o be_v not_o a_o depart_a not_o a_o heart_n depart_v from_o iniquity_n wherefore_o to_o these_o professor_n james_n write_v thus_o draw_v nigh_o to_o god_n and_o he_o will_v draw_v nigh_o to_o you_o 4.8_o cleanse_v your_o hand_n you_o sinner_n and_o purify_v your_o heart_n you_o double_v mind_v man_n far_o from_o god_n can_v think_v reverent_o of_o he_o nor_o so_o speak_v and_o profess_v he_o as_o stand_v with_o the_o nature_n of_o gospel_n religion_n wherefore_o god_n say_v draw_v near_o hither_o that_o be_v by_o faith_n and_o again_o 40.1_o let_v they_o come_v near_o then_o let_v they_o speak_v then_o let_v they_o profess_v 11.6_o without_o faith_n a_o man_n can_v please_v god_n because_o he_o can_v without_o it_o stand_v before_o he_o in_o the_o spotless_a righteousness_n of_o christ_n nor_o yet_o depart_v from_o iniquity_n and_o live_v a_o holy_a life_n there_o be_v three_o thing_n in_o faith_n that_o direct_o tend_v to_o make_v a_o man_n depart_v from_o iniquity_n 1._o it_o apprehend_v the_o truth_n of_o the_o be_v and_o greatness_n of_o god_n and_o so_o it_o aw_v the_o spirit_n of_o a_o man_n 2._o it_o apprehend_v the_o love_n of_o this_o god_n in_o christ_n and_o so_o it_o conquer_v and_o overcome_v the_o spirit_n of_o a_o man_n 3._o it_o apprehend_v the_o sweetness_n and_o blessedness_n of_o the_o nature_n of_o the_o godhead_n and_o thence_o persuade_v the_o soul_n to_o desire_v here_o communion_n with_o he_o that_o it_o may_v be_v holy_a and_o the_o enjoyment_n of_o he_o when_o this_o world_n be_v end_v that_o it_o may_v be_v happy_a in_o and_o by_o he_o for_o ever_o but_o without_o faith_n these_o thing_n can_v be_v apprehend_v and_o therefore_o those_o that_o want_v it_o whatever_o their_o profession_n be_v they_o will_v not_o depart_v from_o iniquity_n second_o repentance_n be_v another_o of_o the_o great_a and_o principal_a grace_n which_o the_o holy_a ghost_n work_v in_o the_o heart_n wherefore_o without_o this_o also_o there_o can_v be_v no_o depart_n from_o iniquity_n it_o be_v in_o vain_a to_o expect_v it_o of_o any_o man_n let_v his_o profession_n be_v never_o so_o stately_a and_o great_a if_o he_o be_v a_o stranger_n to_o find_v repentance_n how_o many_o be_v there_o in_o our_o day_n since_o the_o gospel_n be_v grow_v so_o common_a that_o catch_v up_o a_o notion_n of_o good_a thing_n and_o from_o that_o notion_n make_v a_o profession_n of_o the_o name_n of_o christ_n get_v into_o church_n and_o obtain_v the_o title_n of_o a_o brother_n a_o saint_n a_o member_n of_o a_o gospel_n congregation_n that_o have_v clean_o escape_v repentance_n i_o say_v they_o have_v catch_v up_o a_o notion_n of_o good_a thing_n and_o have_v through_o that_o adventure_v to_o name_v the_o name_n of_o christ_n quite_o forget_v to_o take_v repentance_n with_o they_o repentance_n shall_v be_v 16.6_o and_o be_v one_o of_o the_o first_o step_n into_o true_a gospel_n profession_n but_o some_o know_v nothing_o of_o it_o until_o they_o come_v to_o the_o end_n of_o all_o and_o their_o repentance_n will_v do_v they_o no_o good_a repentance_n be_v not_o but_o where_o the_o true_a fear_n of_o god_n be_v yea_o the_o fear_n of_o god_n be_v one_o ground_n of_o repentance_n repentance_n be_v the_o scour_a grace_n it_o be_v that_o which_o purge_v repentance_n be_v as_o i_o may_v call_v it_o that_o bitter_a pill_n without_o the_o take_n and_o sound_a work_n of_o which_o base_a and_o sinful_a humour_n will_v rest_v unstirred_a unpurged_a undriven_a out_o of_o the_o soul._n can_v repentance_n be_v where_o godly_a sorrow_n be_v not_o or_o can_v repentance_n

the_o text_n we_o have_v 1._o a_o exhortation_n 2_o the_o extension_n of_o that_o exhortation_n 1._o the_o exhortation_n be_v that_o man_n depart_v from_o iniquity_n 2._o the_o extension_n of_o it_o

in_o the_o exhortation_n there_o be_v several_a thing_n to_o be_v take_v notice_n of_o because_o insinuate_v by_o the_o apostle_n the_o first_o be_v that_o iniquity_n be_v a_o very_a dangerous_a and_o hurtful_a thing_n as_o to_o the_o soul_n of_o sinner_n in_o general_a so_o to_o they_o that_o name_v the_o name_n of_o christ._n it_o be_v very_o a_o dangerous_a and_o hurtful_a thing_n to_o man_n in_o general_n for_o it_o be_v that_o which_o do_v captivate_v the_o world_n at_o the_o beginning_n and_o that_o make_v it_o a_o bondslave_n to_o the_o devil_n it_o have_v also_o do_v great_a hurt_n to_o mankind_n ever_o since_o to_o instance_n a_o few_o thing_n 2.12_o 1._o it_o be_v that_o which_o have_v stupefy_v and_o besot_v the_o power_n of_o man_n soul_n and_o make_v they_o even_o next_o to_o a_o beast_n and_o brute_n in_o all_o matter_n supernatural_a and_o heavenly_a for_o as_o the_o beast_n mind_v nothing_o but_o his_o lust_n and_o his_o belly_n by_o nature_n so_o man_n mind_v

neither_o see_v where_o it_o be_v nor_o which_o be_v the_o way_n out_o of_o this_o besotted_a condition_n 5._o 3._o it_o have_v harden_v the_o heart_n against_o god_n and_o against_o all_o admonition_n and_o counsel_n in_o the_o thing_n of_o the_o gospel_n of_o christ._n 1.21_o 4._o it_o have_v alienate_v the_o will_n the_o mind_n and_o affection_n from_o the_o choice_n of_o the_o

to_o say_v nothing_o of_o the_o pleasure_n and_o delight_n that_o it_o make_v he_o take_v in_o that_o way_n to_o hell_n in_o which_o he_o walk_v 24.25_o never_o go_v fat_a ox_n so_o gamesome_o to_o

to_o the_o pit_n of_o hell_n and_o damnation_n o_o it_o be_v amaze_a it_o be_v astonish_v to_o consider_v what_o hurt_n sin_n have_v do_v to_o man_n and_o into_o how_o many_o danger_n it_o have_v bring_v he_o but_o let_v these_o few_o hint_n at_o this_o time_n suffice_v as_o to_o this_o i_o will_v now_o speak_v a_o word_n to_o the_o other_o particular_a namely_o that_o as_o iniquity_n be_v dangerous_a and_o hurtful_a to_o the_o soul_n of_o man_n in_o general_a so_o it_o be_v to_o they_o that_o name_v the_o name_n of_o christ._n as_o to_o the_o so_o and_o so_o name_v of_o he_o to_o that_o i_o shall_v speak_v by_o and_o by_o but_o at_o this_o time_n take_v it_o thus_o that_o religious_o name_v his_o name_n and_o i_o say_v iniquity_n be_v hurtful_a to_o they_o 1._o it_o pluck_v many_o a_o one_o of_o they_o from_o christ_n and_o the_o religious_a profession_n of_o he_o i_o have_v even_o see_v that_o man_n who_o have_v devout_o and_o religious_o profess_a jesus_n christ_n have_v be_v prevail_v withal_o by_o iniquity_n to_o cast_v he_o and_o the_o profession_n of_o his_o name_n quite_o off_o and_o to_o turn_v their_o back_n upon_o he_o israel_n say_v the_o prophet_n have_v cast_v off_o the_o thing_n that_o be_v good_a 8.3_o but_o why_o of_o their_o silver_n and_o their_o gold_n they_o have_v make_v idol_n the_o sin_n of_o idolatry_n draw_v their_o heart_n from_o god_n their_o love_n to_o that_o iniquity_n make_v they_o turn_v their_o back_n upon_o he_o wherefore_o god_n complain_v that_o of_o forwardness_n to_o their_o iniquity_n and_o through_o the_o

a_o dangerous_a and_o hurtful_a thing_n but_o i_o proceed_v and_o come_v in_o the_o next_o place_n to_o the_o extension_n of_o the_o exhortation_n namely_o that_o it_o reach_v to_o all_o those_o
