first_o be_v the_o publication_n or_o preach_v of_o the_o gospel_n to_o all_o sort_n and_o condition_n of_o people_n whereby_o christ_n be_v set_v forth_o to_o have_v take_v our_o nature_n upon_o he_o

although_o they_o believe_v the_o same_o general_a truth_n with_o the_o other_o by_o certain_a quallification_n which_o the_o scripture_n set_v forth_o unto_o we_o as_o the_o poor_a in_o spirit_n the_o morner_n the_o break_a heart_a namely_o the_o repentant_a and_o to_o such_o only_o be_v christ_n send_v unto_o esay_n 61.1.2.3_o to_o heal_v &_o comfort_v their_o poor_a soul_n and_o such_o

it_o be_v that_o work_v these_o preparation_n or_o qualification_n in_o the_o elect._n be_v it_o not_o the_o lord_n own_o work_n to_o take_v away_o the_o stony_a heart_n &_o to_o give_v a_o heart_n of_o flesh_n be_v it_o not_o of_o his_o free_a goodness_n that_o do_v so_o prepare_v their_o heart_n &_o fit_v they_o to_o receive_v his_o special_a promise_n of_o grace_n and_o mercy_n in_o christ_n the_o ground_n of_o the_o heart_n must_v be_v till_v before_o that_o precious_a seed_n be_v sow_v in_o it_o you_o must_v not_o sow_v among_o thorn_n but_o in_o the_o ground_n fit_v and_o prepare_v it_o be_v not_o in_o man_n power_n to_o prepare_v his_o heart_n by_o any_o natural_a power_n leave_v in_o he_o no_o more_o than_o a_o dead_a man_n can_v raise_v himself_o but_o it_o be_v only_o the_o work_n of_o god_n himself_o so_o that_o though_o we_o come_v to_o christ_n with_o these_o qualification_n before_o speak_v of_o yet_o we_o bring_v nothing_o of_o our_o own_o but_o that_o which_o god_n have_v wrought_v in_o we_o neither_o be_v the_o grace_n of_o justification_n give_v to_o any_o for_o the_o worthiness_n of_o repentance_n but_o only_o for_o the_o truth_n of_o the_o promiser_n who_o have_v promise_v pardon_n mercy_n and_o peace_n only_o to_o such_o as_o be_v so_o prepare_v by_o he_o and_o to_o no_o other_o and_o that_o there_o be_v a_o preparation_n to_o the_o justification_n of_o a_o sinner_n and_o to_o the_o receive_n of_o christ_n the_o scripture_n be_v manifest_a john_n the_o baptist_n be_v send_v to_o prepare_v the_o way_n of_o the_o lord_n to_o make_v ready_a a_o people_n to_o receive_v the_o lord_n christ_n and_o what_o be_v his_o ministry_n but_o the_o baptism_n of_o repentance_n and_o that_o repentance_n be_v a_o preparation_n to_o faith_n or_o to_o the_o justification_n of_o a_o sinner_n and_o must_v of_o necessity_n be_v before_o that_o faith_n that_o justify_v and_o give_v assurance_n of_o the_o forgiveness_n of_o sin_n and_o peace_n and_o reconciliation_n with_o god_n be_v manifest_a but_o because_o it_o be_v deny_v by_o many_o in_o these_o day_n i_o will_v give_v you_o a_o few_o reason_n for_o the_o proof_n thereof_o but_o first_o lest_o i_o shall_v be_v mistake_v i_o will_v set_v down_o in_o a_o short_a definition_n what_o true_a repentance_n be_v a_o thing_n altogether_o omit_v by_o this_o author_n neither_o have_v he_o tell_v we_o what_o regeneration_n be_v nor_o whereof_o it_o consist_v which_o be_v the_o main_a thing_n that_o tend_v to_o the_o make_n of_o a_o christian_a and_o true_a believer_n i_o say_v that_o repentance_n may_v be_v thus_o brief_o and_o true_o define_v repentance_n be_v a_o powerful_a work_n of_o god_n spirit_n wrought_v in_o the_o heart_n of_o such_o as_o shall_v be_v save_v whereby_o the_o heart_n be_v break_v and_o turn_v from_o all_o the_o please_a delight_n of_o sin_n into_o a_o great_a fear_n and_o sorrow_n for_o they_o and_o confession_n of_o they_o unto_o god_n and_o into_o a_o exceed_a desire_n of_o pardon_n peace_n and_o reconciliation_n with_o god_n luke_n 15._o you_o may_v see_v all_o the_o part_n of_o repentance_n in_o the_o prodigal_a son_n and_o let_v the_o author_n take_v notice_n that_o it_o be_v a_o work_n of_o god_n spirit_n it_o be_v no_o money_n of_o our_o own_o this_o repentance_n here_o lay_v down_o be_v a_o work_n of_o the_o gospel_n yea_o the_o begin_n of_o the_o gospel_n mark_v 1.1_o it_o be_v no_o legal_a work_n wrought_v by_o the_o law_n for_o i_o know_v neither_o legal_a repentance_n nor_o legal_a faith_n which_o some_o man_n talk_v of_o very_a much_o i_o know_v the_o law_n of_o the_o ten_o commandment_n admit_v of_o no_o repentance_n neither_o do_v it_o receive_v faith_n in_o christ_n and_o now_o i_o come_v to_o the_o reason_n to_o prove_v that_o god_n do_v always_o work_v repentance_n in_o they_o who_o he_o have_v a_o purpose_n to_o save_v for_o ever_o before_o he_o bestow_v on_o they_o that_o faith_n which_o do_v justify_v or_o assure_v they_o of_o the_o pardon_n of_o their_o sin_n in_o the_o blood_n of_o jesus_n christ_n first_o reason_n be_v from_o the_o constant_a and_o unchangeable_a order_n the_o holy_a ghost_n have_v observe_v throughout_o the_o scripture_n in_o require_v repentance_n and_o faith_n always_o require_v repentance_n in_o the_o first_o place_n mark_v 1.15_o math._n 3.2_o luke_n 3.3_o acts._n 2.38_o and_o the_o 3.19_o so_o that_o i_o infer_v hence_o the_o holy_a ghost_n always_o require_v it_o in_o the_o first_o place_n it_o be_v that_o work_n which_o he_o please_v first_o to_o work_v second_o reason_n because_o until_o we_o have_v true_a repentance_n wrought_v in_o we_o we_o have_v no_o right_n unto_o any_o special_a promise_n for_o the_o special_a promise_n of_o grace_n &_o mercy_n be_v make_v only_o to_o the_o penitent_a and_o break_a heart_a to_o such_o as_o mourn_v esay_n 6.1.2.3_o and_o acts._n 3.19_o therefore_o before_o repentance_n we_o can_v have_v faith_n in_o any_o of_o those_o special_a promise_n three_o reason_n because_o no_o man_n before_o he_o have_v repentance_n true_o wrought_v in_o he_o can_v receive_v the_o forgiveness_n of_o his_o sin_n for_o repentance_n be_v require_v that_o man_n may_v have_v their_o sin_n do_v away_o acts._n 3.19_o and_o therefore_o forgiveness_n of_o sin_n follow_v repentance_n in_o the_o work_n of_o it_o it_o do_v necessary_o follow_v that_o faith_n do_v follow_v repentance_n acts._n 2.38_o for_o justify_v faith_n do_v always_o bring_v with_o it_o to_o the_o soul_n the_o forgiveness_n of_o sin_n four_o reason_n whosoever_o be_v justify_v by_o faith_n be_v at_o peace_n with_o god_n rom._n 5.1_o but_o no_o man_n be_v at_o peace_n with_o god_n until_o he_o have_v true_o repent_v and_o his_o sin_n do_v away_o therefore_o no_o man_n be_v justify_v by_o faith_n until_o he_o have_v true_o repent_v i_o do_v not_o say_v that_o repentance_n be_v the_o condition_n require_v in_o our_o part_n to_o our_o justification_n as_o be_v our_o own_o work_n but_o yet_o i_o affirm_v that_o it_o be_v that_o way_n which_o god_n do_v always_o take_v in_o the_o conversion_n of_o poor_a sinner_n unto_o himself_o first_o to_o humble_v they_o by_o make_v they_o see_v their_o misery_n and_o lose_a condition_n and_o to_o cause_v they_o to_o seek_v with_o strong_a desire_n after_o grace_n and_o favour_n purchase_v by_o christ_n for_o such_o poor_a penitent_a soul_n and_o none_o else_o shall_v ever_o obtain_v that_o grace_n and_o favour_n with_o god_n through_o christ_n for_o christ_n call_v none_o but_o such_o unto_o he_o neither_o aught_o any_o minister_n to_o apply_v the_o promise_n of_o mercy_n to_o any_o other_o but_o such_o as_o be_v weary_a heavy_a lade_v mourn_n and_o earnest_o desire_v mercy_n and_o pardon_n of_o sin_n through_o the_o apprehension_n of_o their_o misery_n and_o

lose_a condition_n none_o but_o such_o as_o be_v wound_v will_v look_v for_o and_o high_o prize_v the_o physician_n to_o cure_v their_o poor_a soul_n now_o this_o grace_n of_o repentance_n be_v purchase_v by_o christ_n and_o admit_v to_o poor_a sinner_n through_o he_o and_o to_o be_v preach_v in_o his_o name_n and_o it_o be_v wrought_v in_o the_o heart_n of_o the_o elect_a by_o the_o holy_a ghost_n through_o the_o free_a grace_n of_o god_n and_o be_v not_o wrought_v or_o produce_v by_o any_o power_n that_o be_v in_o the_o creature_n for_o the_o truth_n be_v we_o be_v all_o passive_a in_o every_o thing_n that_o concern_v our_o salvation_n we_o can_v repent_v unless_o god_n give_v we_o repentance_n we_o can_v believe_v unless_o god_n give_v we_o faith_n to_o believe_v and_o therefore_o i_o do_v the_o more_o wonder_n at_o the_o author_n that_o have_v so_o much_o urge_v faith_n and_o believe_v and_o yet_o never_o tell_v we_o how_o this_o so_o precious_a faith_n be_v wrought_v or_o how_o we_o may_v attain_v thereunto_o but_o speak_v of_o it_o as_o if_o it_o be_v in_o our_o own_o power_n i_o acknowledge_v free_o that_o repentance_n be_v wrought_v by_o the_o word_n preach_v and_o faith_n also_o but_o yet_o it_o be_v the_o lord_n that_o work_v by_o the_o mean_n and_o without_o which_o all_o will_v be_v unprofitable_a and_o so_o all_o be_v of_o free_a grace_n for_o there_o be_v no_o work_n that_o we_o can_v do_v before_o justification_n or_o after_o justification_n can_v merit_v any_o grace_n for_o we_o before_o god_n ephes_n 2.10_o for_o we_o be_v his_o workmanship_n create_v in_o jesus_n christ_n etc._n etc._n and_o whatsoever_o gift_n of_o grace_n any_o man_n receive_v it_o be_v from_o the_o free_a bounty_n and_o grace_n of_o god_n in_o christ_n and_o every_o gift_n so_o receive_v be_v to_o be_v put_v forth_o by_o we_o to_o the_o glory_n of_o our_o god_n and_o the_o good_a of_o our_o brethren_n and_o to_o so_o forth_o to_o all_o man_n the_o goodness_n of_o our_o god_n towards_o we_o through_o christ_n by_o way_n of_o thankfulness_n for_o mercy_n receive_v and_o to_o no_o other_o end_n whatsoever_o and_o thus_o you_o may_v see_v i_o be_o no_o enemy_n to_o the_o doctrine_n of_o free_a grace_n nor_o to_o the_o teacher_n thereof_o if_o they_o publish_v only_o the_o truth_n thereof_o without_o run_v into_o by_o way_n for_o fear_n of_o something_o which_o they_o need_v not_o if_o they_o do_v true_o understand_v the_o truth_n but_o i_o desire_v above_o all_o thing_n to_o advance_v the_o free_a grace_n of_o god_n in_o christ_n and_o by_o god_n help_n will_v do_v it_o and_o now_o because_o the_o author_n have_v so_o much_o speak_v of_o faith_n and_o of_o believe_v yet_o have_v not_o tell_v we_o what_o this_o faith_n be_v i_o will_v christian_a reader_n for_o thy_o help_n and_o the_o author_n information_n for_o down_o what_o this_o precious_a faith_n be_v for_o other_o faith_n be_v mention_v in_o scripture_n i_o let_v pass_v this_o only_o be_v to_o our_o purpose_n at_o this_o time_n and_o i_o suppose_v may_v be_v thus_o define_v to_o be_v a_o gracious_a work_n of_o god_n spirit_n wrought_v in_o the_o heart_n of_o such_o as_o be_v penitent_n whereby_o they_o be_v assure_v in_o their_o soul_n of_o the_o free_a pardon_n and_o remission_n of_o all_o their_o sin_n and_o of_o peace_n and_o reconciliation_n with_o god_n
