they_o believe_v that_o their_o sin_n be_v unpardonable_a what_o shall_v i_o beg_v for_o pardon_n of_o sin_n my_o time_n be_v past_a if_o not_o that_o than_o he_o labour_v to_o keep_v they_o from_o

beg_v pardon_n you_o be_v not_o such_o a_o sinner_n etc._n etc._n it_o be_v well_o if_o there_o be_v no_o sin_n but_o be_v that_o a_o cockatrice_n egg_n that_o they_o shall_v think_v they_o need_v not_o to_o ask_v pardon_n of_o sin_n at_o the_o h●nds_n of_o god_n it_o be_v one_o of_o the_o opinion_n in_o the_o primitive_a time_n but_o this_o time_n far_o outstrip_v that_o because_o worse_a

of_o impiety_n to_o think_v it_o unlawful_a to_o beg_v pardon_n of_o sin_n therefore_o it_o come_v from_o another_o because_o god_n see_v no_o sin_n in_o his_o child_n but_o whence_o come_v this_o here_o be_v a_o ill_a bird_n and_o a_o ill_a egg_n yet_o it_o have_v a_o dam_n that_o be_v old_a still_o that_o be_v as_o damnable_a as_o either_o that_o be_v that_o christian_n be_v not_o tie_v to_o any_o obedience_n of_o the_o moral_a law_n because_o they_o be_v bring_v under_o the_o obedience_n of_o christ_n see_v how_o they_o hang_v like_o samson_n fox_n that_o be_v tie_v after_o a_o disorderly_a manner_n first_o the_o devil_n possess_v their_o heart_n that_o there_o be_v no_o obedience_n to_o the_o law_n of_o god_n and_o thereby_o he_o stop_v up_o the_o fountain_n of_o all_o piety_n if_o there_o be_v no_o obedience_n to_o the_o law_n it_o must_v needs_o follow_v that_o there_o can_v be_v no_o sin_n for_o there_o be_v no_o sin_n without_o the_o transgression_n of_o the_o

this_o prayer_n take_v away_o iniquity_n nor_o that_o of_o christ_n forgive_v we_o our_o trespass_n there_o be_v not_o any_o of_o all_o these_o opinion_n but_o they_o be_v as_o i_o conceive_v spring_v from_o the_o misunderstanding_n of_o some_o orthodox_n point_n in_o divinity_n that_o people_n not_o well_o understand_v themselves_o do_v wrest_v as_o the_o point_n of_o justification_n only_o by_o faith_n that_o point_n be_v only_o for_o our_o comfort_n we_o must_v exclude_v work_n in_o justification_n our_o work_n have_v no_o part_n in_o the_o justification_n of_o a_o sinner_n but_o it_o do_v not_o follow_v because_o faith_n only_o justify_v that_o thereupon_o they_o conclude_v what_o have_v we_o to_o do_v with_o work_n and_o obedience_n of_o the_o law_n that_o be_v a_o mistake_n for_o god_n though_o he_o justify_v we_o without_o work_n he_o require_v obedience_n as_o a_o fruit_n of_o justification_n and_o as_o a_o special_a pledge_n of_o that_o grace_n that_o he_o work_v in_o the_o heart_n there_o be_v the_o mistake_n of_o that_o the_o other_o and_o a_o second_o branch_n come_v from_o the_o mistake_n of_o another_o point_n that_o be_v comfortable_a and_o have_v its_o foundation_n in_o the_o book_n of_o god_n that_o he_o that_o be_v true_o in_o the_o state_n of_o sonship_n can_v fall_v final_o that_o be_v a_o fundamental_a point_n and_o of_o great_a consequence_n and_o that_o be_v clear_a because_o else_o god_n promise_v shall_v not_o be_v true_a if_o god_n be_v mutable_a and_o shall_v bring_v we_o into_o a_o state_n of_o adoption_n one_o day_n and_o after_o cast_v we_o out_o this_o be_v a_o point_n of_o great_a pretty_a but_o from_o wrest_v of_o this_o come_v the_o other_o point_n that_o because_o they_o can_v fall_v total_o that_o therefore_o they_o can_v fall_v at_o all_o that_o because_o a_o man_n can_v sin_v final_o that_o justification_n make_v he_o total_o gracious_a that_o he_o can_v sin_v for_o though_o god_n keep_v they_o from_o final_a sin_v yet_o the_o best_a saint_n fall_v in_o many_o thing_n we_o sin_v all_o and_o he_o that_o say_v he_o be_v not_o a_o sinner_n be_v a_o liar_n even_o of_o those_o that_o be_v convert_v we_o tread_v awry_o every_o day_n and_o there_o be_v many_o slip_n and_o sometime_o foul_a gross_a fall_n but_o it_o please_v god_n to_o raise_v we_o again_o but_o it_o be_v by_o repentance_n and_o faith_n in_o christ_n the_o same_o way_n that_o we_o rise_v at_o the_o first_o so_o for_o the_o three_o point_n that_o man_n need_v not_o beg_v pardon_n it_o be_v from_o a_o corrupt_a original_n it_o be_v a_o good_a heavenly_a point_n that_o there_o be_v a_o certainty_n of_o salvation_n grant_v to_o many_o saint_n that_o certainty_n may_v be_v have_v though_o it_o be_v not_o have_v by_o all_o every_o one_o come_v not_o to_o the_o same_o degree_n of_o assurance_n from_o the_o mistake_n of_o this_o come_v the_o three_o because_o we_o may_v be_v assure_v that_o we_o be_v in_o a_o state_n of_o salvation_n and_o grace_n and_o that_o sin_n be_v pardon_v we_o need_v not_o beg_v pardon_n so_o they_o run_v to_o popery_n another_o way_n popery_n be_v a_o thing_n that_o they_o disclaim_v and_o while_o they_o will_v run_v from_o popery_n they_o fall_v into_o another_o extreme_a and_o run_v to_o popery_n another_o way_n compare_v they_o a_o little_a a_o saint_n may_v come_v to_o perfection_n and_o keep_v all_o the_o moral_a law_n say_v the_o papist_n asleep_o christian_n may_v come_v to_o that_o perfection_n that_o he_o need_v not_o keep_v it_o say_v they_o some_o sin_n be_v of_o so_o easy_a a_o weight_n they_o be_v not_o to_o be_v account_v god_n account_v they_o no_o sin_n the_o first_o motion_n god_n see_v not_o these_o in_o his_o child_n as_o sin_n say_v the_o papist_n god_n see_v no_o sin_n in_o his_o child_n say_v they_o here_o be_v their_o error_n say_v the_o papist_n if_o assurance_n may_v be_v have_v why_o do_v we_o beg_v for_o forgiveness_n it_o be_v fond_a to_o beg_v pardon_n if_o we_o have_v assurance_n so_o they_o because_o the_o child_n of_o god_n have_v assurance_n he_o need_v not_o beg_v pardon_n thus_o they_o run_v by_o eschew_v the_o contrary_a into_o the_o same_o error_n in_o a_o worse_a manner_n than_o they_o for_o of_o all_o other_o these_o be_v most_o damnable_a there_o be_v never_o a_o opinion_n that_o the_o devil_n have_v stir_v up_o that_o have_v a_o worse_a savour_n and_o intendment_n in_o it_o then_o these_o it_o overthrow_v the_o foundation_n of_o the_o gospel_n and_o of_o christianity_n and_o piety_n it_o take_v away_o christ_n and_o take_v he_o away_o take_v away_o prayer_n and_o repentance_n and_o all_o at_o one_o blow_n o_o when_o there_o be_v such_o fundamental_a error_n as_o these_o shall_v we_o wonder_v if_o god_n send_v the_o plague_n to_o purge_v his_o floor_n when_o these_o shall_v start_v up_o and_o be_v not_o smother_v and_o those_o that_o shall_v smother_v they_o do_v not_o awake_a authority_n no_o man_n care_v which_o way_n religion_n go_v and_o how_o it_o thrive_v god_n will_v purge_v this_o leaven_n from_o the_o author_n of_o these_o opinion_n and_o those_o that_o shall_v suppress_v it_o god_n will_v not_o have_v every_o man_n preach_v what_o he_o will_v and_o hold_v and_o do_v what_o he_o will_n and_o if_o humane_a law_n be_v offend_v there_o be_v severity_n enough_o in_o correct_v god_n law_n be_v break_v daily_o and_o no_o man_n look_v after_o it_o of_o all_o other_o that_o one_o gross_a point_n that_o christian_n be_v come_v to_o think_v it_o unnecessary_a nay_o needless_a nay_o sinful_a to_o beg_v remission_n of_o sin_n then_o farewell_n gospel_n and_o religion_n and_o all_o st._n austin_n have_v some_o in_o his_o time_n that_o be_v of_o that_o opinion_n therefore_o he_o have_v diverse_a passage_n against_o it_o they_o have_v no_o sin_n the_o form_n that_o christ_n give_v it_o agree_v to_o every_o christian_a it_o be_v a_o form_n that_o all_o christian_n must_v use_v to_o the_o world_n end_n they_o must_v still_o pray_v forgive_v we_o our_o trespass_n as_o long_o as_o they_o live_v and_o breath_n not_o only_o all_o other_o christian_n but_o the_o apostle_n the_o

need_n of_o receive_v we_o merciful_o favourable_o receive_v we_o to_o thy_o grace_n in_o that_o i_o show_v you_o the_o reason_n why_o it_o be_v annex_v to_o the_o former_a part_n as_o a_o clause_n of_o illustration_n show_v thyself_o gracious_a by_o pardon_v our_o sin_n as_o a_o clause_n of_o inducement_n we_o entreat_v thou_o for_o the_o goodness_n of_o thy_o grace_n and_o mercy_n to_o show_v thyself_o so_o in_o pardon_v our_o sin_n we_o come_v to_o god_n for_o grace_n in_o the_o name_n of_o grace_n and_o for_o mercy_n in_o the_o name_n of_o mercy_n three_o as_o a_o clause_n that_o make_v up_o a_o perfect_a ennumeration_n of_o all_o want_n that_o be_v comprise_v under_o these_o two_o head_n take_v away_o iniquity_n and_o receive_v we_o gracious_o thus_o sarr_o i_o go_v that_o that_o remain_v in_o the_o second_o part_n be_v only_o the_o order_n of_o these_o two_o particular_n for_o there_o be_v some_o reason_n why_o the_o prophet_n set_v they_o in_o this_o order_n why_o not_o first_o receive_v we_o gracious_o and_o then_o take_v away_o iniquity_n for_o all_o other_o blessing_n be_v originate_v in_o the_o love_n and_o favour_n of_o god_n it_o be_v from_o his_o love_n and_o grace_n that_o he_o grant_v pardon_n to_o we_o of_o our_o transgression_n there_o be_v no_o pardon_n of_o sin_n where_o there_o be_v not_o grace_n and_o favour_n and_o love_n therefore_o the_o psalmist_n psal_n 85._o he_o set_v they_o in_o another_o order_n o_o lord_n thou_o have_v be_v gracious_a to_o the_o land_n and_o then_o follow_v in_o verse_n 2._o thou_o have_v forgive_v the_o iniquity_n of_o thy_o people_n first_o god_n be_v gracious_a and_o then_o he_o forgive_v iniquity_n the_o pardon_n of_o sin_n must_v flow_v from_o his_o grace_n and_o favour_n it_o be_v true_a the_o love_n of_o god_n must_v of_o necessity_n go_v before_o in_o the_o order_n of_o nature_n all_o the_o effect_n of_o his_o love_n and_o favour_n whatsoever_o the_o cause_n must_v be_v before_o the_o effect_n and_o the_o fountain_n before_o the_o stream_n in_o nature_n but_o yet_o the_o scripture_n use_v some_o difference_n of_o set_v down_o these_o particular_n for_o sometime_o it_o set_v the_o one_o before_o and_o sometime_o the_o other_o the_o reason_n be_v because_o they_o be_v mutual_o enfold_v and_o so_o close_o knit_v that_o one_o can_v be_v without_o the_o other_o there_o be_v no_o great_a demonstration_n of_o god_n grace_n and_o favour_n than_o the_o pardon_n of_o sin_n if_o there_o be_v grace_n and_o favour_n there_o will_v be_v forgiveness_n where_o there_o be_v forgiveness_n there_o be_v a_o evident_a testimony_n that_o god_n have_v show_v the_o riches_n of_o his_o grace_n therefore_o though_o the_o prophet_n set_v it_o here_o in_o another_o order_n than_o sometime_o it_o be_v in_o scripture_n there_o be_v good_a reason_n for_o it_o beside_o that_o there_o may_v be_v three_o thing_n say_v for_o the_o justification_n of_o this_o order_n there_o be_v three_o reason_n of_o it_o either_o as_o they_o contain_v in_o they_o a_o petition_n for_o the_o enlargement_n of_o the_o continuance_n of_o grace_n or_o for_o the_o enlargement_n of_o the_o evidence_n and_o demonstration_n of_o grace_n or_o a_o petition_n for_o the_o enlargement_n of_o the_o communication_n of_o his_o grace_n to_o they_o in_o all_o these_o 3._o sense_n the_o order_n be_v every_o way_n justifiable_a first_o in_o put_v these_o two_o together_o there_o be_v a_o petition_n for_o the_o inlargment_n of_o the_o continuance_n of_o god_n grace_n take_v away_o iniquity_n and_o receive_v we_o gracious_o in_o these_o two_o he_o pray_v for_o the_o give_v of_o grace_n and_o the_o duration_n and_o perpetuation_n of_o it_o so_o the_o order_n be_v thus_o grace_n can_v be_v continue_v till_o it_o be_v bestow_v and_o give_v in_o the_o first_o word_n he_o pray_v for_o the_o give_v of_o it_o that_o god_n will_v receive_v they_o to_o a_o state_n of_o reconciliation_n in_o the_o second_o that_o he_o will_v continue_v they_o and_o keep_v they_o in_o that_o estate_n show_v thyself_o first_o gracious_a in_o pardon_v our_o sin_n and_o show_v thyself_o again_o gracious_a in_o keep_v we_o from_o commit_v sin_n what_o profit_v it_o though_o our_o former_a sin_n be_v pardon_v if_o we_o continue_v in_o they_o therefore_o the_o prophet_n teach_v they_o to_o beg_v not_o only_o for_o forgiveness_n of_o sin_n but_o for_o strengthen_v of_o grace_n to_o continue_v in_o it_o to_o show_v that_o apenitent_a faithful_a soul_n stand_v in_o need_n of_o god_n after_o his_o sin_n be_v pardon_v we_o have_v not_o do_v with_o god_n when_o our_o sin_n be_v pardon_v we_o need_v a_o further_a enlargement_n of_o grace_n to_o keep_v we_o in_o that_o estate_n lest_o we_o relapse_n therefore_o the_o believe_v soul_n make_v up_o his_o prayer_n of_o these_o two_o lord_n thou_o have_v be_v gracious_a and_o i_o rely_v upon_o thou_o for_o the_o time_n to_o come_v that_o thou_o will_v still_o the_o point_n be_v this_o that_o the_o faithful_a soul_n after_o it_o have_v have_v a_o taste_n of_o the_o goodness_n of_o god_n in_o the_o pardon_n of_o sin_n it_o rest_v not_o there_o but_o go_v on_o still_o to_o beg_v more_o grace_n a_o great_a enlargement_n of_o favour_n it_o must_v needs_o be_v so_o in_o the_o order_n of_o our_o desire_n grace_n be_v of_o a_o ravish_a nature_n when_o it_o possess_v the_o heart_n it_o inflame_v it_o even_o in_o heaven_n where_o grace_n be_v full_a there_o be_v a_o appetite_n of_o complacency_n for_o desire_n of_o the_o continuance_n of_o that_o grace_n and_o favour_n though_o there_o can_v be_v a_o desire_n of_o more_o where_o the_o vessel_n be_v full_a but_o in_o earth_n where_o grace_n be_v pour_v in_o by_o drop_n there_o be_v a_o appetite_n of_o desire_n because_o there_o be_v want_v continual_o and_o we_o never_o have_v grace_n but_o that_o we_o see_v we_o want_v more_o than_o a_o man_n love_v grace_v more_o when_o god_n power_v in_o more_o and_o he_o think_v he_o want_v more_o it_o be_v the_o order_n in_o god_n proceed_v he_o lay_v this_o method_n he_o give_v his_o spirit_n for_o this_o purpose_n not_o only_o to_o cleanse_v we_o from_o sin_n but_o to_o strengthen_v we_o for_o new_a obedience_n not_o only_o to_o seal_v to_o we_o our_o reconciliation_n for_o the_o present_a but_o to_o keep_v we_o for_o the_o time_n to_o come_v and_o both_o these_o be_v the_o free_a gift_n and_o work_v of_o god_n spirit_n it_o be_v his_o spirit_n that_o seal_v to_o we_o pardon_n and_o it_o be_v his_o spirit_n that_o strengthen_v we_o that_o we_o may_v
