witness_n let_v we_o lay_v aside_o every_o weight_n and_o the_o sin_n which_o do_v so_o easy_o beset_v we_o and_o let_v we_o run_v with_o patience_n the_o race_n that_o be_v set_v before_o us._n by_o

8._o forge_a cavillation_n when_o the_o hard_a heart_a jailer_n be_v convert_v he_o 33._o cease_v to_o deal_v cruel_o with_o poor_a prisoner_n when_o moses_n be_v convert_v he_o abhor_v the_o vanity_n of_o pharaoes_n 33._o court._n 1._o by_o all_o which_o example_n and_o many_o other_o mention_v in_o the_o word_n of_o god_n it_o be_v evident_a that_o a_o true_a convert_v or_o penitent_a person_n must_v turn_v not_o from_o some_o but_o from_o all_o his_o sin_n and_o great_a reason_n there_o be_v that_o a_o man_n or_o woman_n shall_v turn_v from_o all_o iniquity_n first_o in_o respect_n of_o god_n himself_o for_o jehovah_n be_v a_o god_n of_o pure_a eye_n then_o to_o behold_v 13._o evil_a he_o can_v look_v on_o iniquity_n as_o say_v the_o prophet_n he_o abhor_v all_o iniquity_n his_o

of_o it_o so_o that_o though_o a_o man_n sin_n not_o particular_o against_o every_o commandment_n yet_o by_o favour_v and_o allow_v himself_o in_o this_o or_o that_o particular_a breach_n of_o the_o

the_o very_a work_n of_o the_o devil_n and_o therefore_o to_o 8._o be_v abhor_v what_o be_v any_o sin_n but_o a_o fruit_n of_o the_o filthy_a flesh_n and_o therefore_o 19_o worthy_a to_o be_v hate_v

that_o in_o gal._n 5._o 21._o of_o which_o i_o tell_v you_o before_o as_o i_o have_v also_o tell_v you_o before_o that_o they_o which_o do_v such_o thing_n shall_v not_o inherit_v the_o kingdom_n of_o

therefore_o whosoever_o they_o be_v that_o desire_n to_o escape_v these_o danger_n they_o must_v of_o necessity_n break_v off_o their_o belove_a sin_n reason_n five_o every_o christian_n ought_v to_o

of_o sin_n for_o first_o if_o he_o will_v touch_v no_o unclean_a thing_n god_n will_v 17_o receive_v he_o for_o his_o child_n second_o if_o he_o will_v forsake_v all_o his_o sin_n be_v shall_v be_v make_v fit_a for_o god_n service_n as_o for_o prayer_n hear_v god_n word_n receive_v the_o sacrament_n whereas_o otherwise_o if_o he_o forsake_v not_o sin_n he_o be_v unfit_a for_o all_o these_o for_o if_o we_o regard_v wickedness_n in_o our_o heart_n 18._o god_n will_v not_o regard_v our_o seem_a devotion_n but_o it_o be_v abomination_n to_o he_o three_o if_o a_o christian_a will_v forsake_v his_o

my_o god_n four_o if_o a_o christian_a forsake_v his_o sin_n he_o shall_v profit_v by_o the_o word_n 14._o whereas_o otherwise_o the_o word_n be_v choke_v by_o the_o venom_n of_o his_o belove_a sin_n five_o if_o a_o christian_a forsake_v his_o 16._o sin_n he_o shall_v have_v fellowship_n with_o god_n and_o joy_n in_o the_o holy_a ghost_n whereas_o if_o he_o forsake_v nor_o his_o sin_n he_o 12._o

the_o truth_n of_o his_o repentance_n whereas_o otherwise_o his_o repentance_n be_v no_o better_a than_o the_o repentance_n of_o herod_n for_o herod_n be_v content_a to_o do_v many_o 6._o thing_n at_o the_o preach_n of_o john_n baptist_n but_o he_o will_v not_o forsake_v his_o herodias_n and_o therefore_o his_o obedience_n be_v no_o obedience_n and_o his_o repentance_n no_o repentance_n 16._o but_o

because_o pride_n be_v one_o of_o the_o six_o thing_n 17._o which_o god_n abhor_v second_o because_o god_n will_v visit_v the_o sin_n of_o pride_n in_o apparel_n even_o in_o prince_n child_n 8._o
