even_o unto_o he_o and_o with_o all_o our_o grot._n heart_n word_n very_o emphatical_a and_o which_o offer_v to_o we_o two_o great_a condition_n which_o be_v absolute_o necessary_a to_o render_v our_o conversion_n every_o way_n such_o as_o it_o ought_v to_o be_v first_o that_o it_o must_v be_v hearty_a and_o sincere_a there_o must_v be_v nothing_o of_o the_o hypocrite_n mix_v with_o it_o our_o soul_n must_v go_v along_o with_o our_o outward_a performance_n and_o these_o penitential_a appearance_n be_v the_o true_a declariation_n of_o that_o real_a inward_a sorrow_n which_o we_o feel_v in_o our_o heart_n for_o our_o offence_n for_o god_n be_v not_o a_o man_n 27_o that_o he_o shall_v be_v mock_v he_o see_v into_o our_o very_a soul_n and_o know_v the_o secret_n of_o all_o the_o child_n of_o men._n and_o second_o that_o it_o must_v be_v entire_a and_o without_o reserve_v as_o we_o must_v be_v sorry_a for_o every_o sin_n we_o have_v already_o commit_v so_o we_o must_v resolve_v against_o ever_o commit_v any_o for_o the_o time_n to_o come_v 13_o for_o god_n be_v of_o pure_a eye_n than_o to_o behold_v the_o least_o iniquity_n and_o if_o our_o repentance_n be_v sincere_a so_o

but_o in_o one_o offence_n it_o be_v because_o that_o we_o do_v true_o repent_v of_o none_o so_o that_o now_o then_o if_o we_o will_v answer_v the_o design_n of_o this_o day_n if_o we_o will_v render_v our_o fast_a such_o as_o the_o lord_n have_v choose_v and_o have_v promise_v to_o reward_v with_o the_o blessing_n both_o of_o this_o life_n and_o of_o that_o which_o be_v to_o come_v we_o must_v not_o think_v it_o enough_o that_o we_o comply_v with_o the_o outward_a ceremony_n and_o show_v of_o repentance_n but_o we_o must_v indeed_o resolve_v to_o bring_v forth_o the_o fruit_n of_o it_o whilst_o we_o address_v ourselves_o to_o god_n for_o pardon_n we_o must_v take_v heed_n to_o dispose_v our_o soul_n in_o such_o a_o manner_n that_o we_o may_v be_v fit_a to_o receive_v it_o and_o if_o we_o thus_o improve_v the_o great_a solemnity_n of_o this_o day_n we_o shall_v not_o fail_v to_o meet_v with_o a_o favourable_a acceptance_n at_o the_o throne_n of_o grace_n god_n will_v be_v

from_o they_o to_o excite_v we_o to_o it_o viz._n first_o the_o goodness_n and_o mercy_n of_o god_n to_o the_o great_a sinner_n upon_o their_o repentance_n god_n be_v gracious_a and_o merciful_a and_o of_o great_a kindness_n second_o his_o unwillingness_n to_o pronounce_v any_o judgement_n at_o all_o against_o they_o and_o his_o readiness_n to_o recall_v they_o if_o they_o repent_v he_o be_v slow_a to_o anger_n and_o repent_v he_o of_o the_o evil._n and_o first_o of_o the_o goodness_n and_o mercy_n of_o god_n to_o the_o great_a of_o sinner_n upon_o their_o repentance_n he_o be_v gracious_a and_o merciful_a and_o of_o great_a kindness_n when_o god_n proclaim_v his_o own_o name_n in_o the_o midst_n of_o the_o people_n of_o israel_n we_o read_v exod._n xxxiv_o that_o he_o choose_v to_o do_v it_o not_o so_o much_o in_o the_o terrible_a attribute_n of_o his_o majesty_n and_o power_n as_o in_o the_o soft_a idea_n of_o his_o mercy_n and_o goodness_n the_o lord_n the_o lord_n god_n merciful_a and_o gracious_a 7._o long-suffering_a and_o abundant_a in_o goodness_n and_o truth_n keep_v mercy_n for_o thousand_o forgive_a iniquity_n and_o transgression_n and_o sin_n and_o if_o we_o look_v into_o all_o the_o follow_a representation_n which_o he_o make_v of_o himself_o whether_o by_o his_o holy_a prophet_n under_o the_o legal_a but_o especial_o by_o our_o bless_a saviour_n and_o his_o

that_o any_o shall_v perish_v but_o that_o all_o shall_v come_v to_o repentance_n 2_o pet._n three_o 8_o and_o now_o what_o more_o forcible_a encouragement_n can_v any_o one_o desire_n to_o bring_v

he_o upon_o his_o return_n but_o will_v even_o assist_v he_o with_o grace_n and_o strength_n in_o the_o do_n of_o it_o that_o he_o desire_v not_o the_o death_n of_o the_o most_o profligate_v offender_n but_o rather_o that_o he_o shall_v turn_v from_o his_o wickedness_n and_o live_v in_o a_o word_n that_o he_o have_v promise_v forgiveness_n without_o exception_n to_o the_o most_o wicked_a man_n upon_o their_o repentance_n so_o that_o if_o they_o will_v but_o yet_o break_v off_o their_o evil_a course_n and_o keep_v his_o statute_n and_o do_v that_o which_o be_v lawful_a and_o right_a they_o shall_v sure_o live_v they_o shall_v not_o die_v ezek._n xviii_o 21_o many_o be_v the_o way_n and_o excellent_a the_o method_n that_o god_n have_v take_v to_o convince_v we_o of_o his_o mercy_n and_o the_o time_n will_v fail_v i_o to_o enter_v on_o a_o particular_a consideration_n of_o they_o sometime_o he_o declare_v not_o only_o that_o he_o be_v ready_a to_o pardon_v we_o if_o we_o repent_v but_o that_o he_o even_o desire_v we_o shall_v repent_v that_o he_o may_v forgive_v we_o and_o lest_o his_o word_n shall_v not_o be_v sufficient_a he_o confirm_v that_o desire_n with_o a_o

live_v turn_v you_o turn_v you_o from_o your_o evil_a way_n for_o why_o will_v you_o die_v o_o house_n of_o israel_n sometime_o he_o expostulate_v with_o we_o in_o the_o way_n of_o reason_v to_o see_v if_o by_o that_o mean_v he_o may_v be_v able_a to_o bring_v we_o to_o consider_v his_o love_n and_o affection_n to_o we_o isai._n i_o 16_o wash_v you_o make_v you_o clean_o 16_o put_v away_o the_o
