i_o confess_v it_o be_v a_o very_a sad_a thing_n to_o see_v any_o that_o seem_v light_n in_o the_o firmament_n to_o prove_v meteor_n and_o fall_a star_n but_o though_o some_o fall_n yet_o through_o grace_n many_o stand_n and_o continue_v faithful_a to_o the_o end_n there_o be_v a_o judas_n among_o our_o saviour_n own_o disciple_n and_o yet_o it_o follow_v not_o from_o thence_o that_o any_o of_o the_o rest_n be_v such_o the_o fall_v of_o some_o professor_n shall_v teach_v we_o not_o to_o be_v high-minded_a but_o continual_o jealous_a over_o our_o own_o heart_n we_o shall_v be_v exceed_o humble_a and_o cease_v from_o trust_v in_o ourselves_o and_o put_v all_o our_o trust_n in_o god_n to_o be_v keep_v by_o his_o power_n through_o faith_n unto_o salvation_n the_o devil_n aim_v all_o he_o can_v to_o foil_n professor_n if_o he_o can_v but_o foil_v one_o of_o they_o he_o blur_v their_o profession_n make_v other_o rich_a of_o it_o and_o so_o advance_v his_o own_o kingdom_n mighty_o therefore_o the_o fall_n of_o some_o shall_v not_o discourage_v we_o but_o make_v we_o more_o humble_a and_o watchful_a and_o cause_v we_o often_o to_o examine_v our_o heart_n whether_o god_n glory_n be_v our_o aim_n and_o end_n and_o whether_o we_o do_v in_o humility_n and_o integrity_n walk_v before_o he_o obj._n 8._o god_n be_v merciful_a we_o see_v mercy_n be_v afford_v to_o the_o thief_n on_o the_o cross_n a_o little_a before_o his_o death_n sol._n 1._o it_o be_v a_o example_n without_o a_o promise_n here_o be_v a_o example_n of_o a_o late_a repentance_n but_o where_o have_v we_o a_o promise_n that_o god_n will_v give_v repentance_n at_o last_o to_o such_o as_o go_v on_o in_o a_o long_a course_n of_o sin_n it_o be_v not_o example_n but_o the_o promise_n of_o god_n that_o be_v a_o foundation_n for_o faith_n to_o build_v upon_o 2._o this_o be_v a_o extraordinary_a time_n what_o if_o our_o saviour_n on_o this_o extraordinary_a occasion_n be_v please_v by_o this_o rare_a miracle_n of_o mercy_n to_o honour_v his_o cross_n will_v this_o afford_v any_o ground_n of_o hope_n that_o he_o will_v do_v so_o ordinary_o and_o especial_o to_o wilful_a sinner_n 3._o we_o do_v not_o find_v that_o this_o thief_n have_v ever_o know_v christ_n before_o or_o have_v ever_o neglect_v or_o refuse_v any_o offer_n of_o grace_n make_v unto_o he_o thou_o have_v little_a reason_n to_o plead_v this_o who_o sit_v daily_a under_o the_o call_v and_o entreaty_n of_o the_o gospel_n this_o case_n will_v minister_v little_a comfort_n to_o thou_o if_o thou_o go_v on_o in_o thy_o sin_n i_o come_v now_o in_o the_o three_o place_n to_o give_v some_o direction_n to_o such_o as_o be_v willing_a to_o be_v advise_v in_o this_o matter_n of_o so_o much_o concernment_n to_o they_o i_o let_v they_o take_v heed_n of_o those_o thing_n that_o usual_o undo_v young_a people_n such_o be_v 1._o carelessness_n want_v of_o consideration_n and_o lay_v to_o heart_n the_o thing_n that_o most_o concern_v they_o go_v on_o in_o a_o dissolute_a negligence_n without_o ever_o ask_v themselves_o what_o their_o state_n and_o condition_n to_o god_n ward_n be_v 2_o a_o eager_a follow_a youthful_a lust_n and_o sensual_a pleasure_n therefore_o the_o apostle_n exhort_v 2_o tim._n 2.22_o to_o flee_v youthful_a lust_n &_o 1_o pet._n 2.11_o as_o pilgrim_n and_o stranger_n to_o abstain_v from_o fleshly_a lust_n which_o war_n against_o the_o soul_n let_v they_o consider_v that_o the_o foot_n of_o those_o lust_n that_o have_v carry_v away_o and_o bury_v million_o of_o other_o young_a person_n in_o perdition_n

ii_o let_v they_o be_v especial_o careful_a to_o be_v well_o ground_v in_o the_o principle_n of_o christian_a religion_n if_o there_o be_v a_o good_a foundation_n of_o save_a knowledge_n lay_v in_o
