it_o do_v not_o infer_v that_o we_o must_v bring_v faith_n to_o god_n but_o it_o be_v most_o necessary_a that_o god_n work_n faith_n in_o we_o to_o the_o ratification_n of_o the_o covenant_n faith_n

because_o god_n do_v uphold_v we_o above_o the_o power_n of_o fall_v away_o therefore_o we_o be_v not_o bind_v to_o persevere_v in_o believe_v and_o if_o god_n tie_v not_o the_o creature_n he_o have_v

in_o the_o term_n of_o the_o question_n but_o first_o i_o shall_v observe_v that_o mr._n bacon_n preach_v do_v rather_o tend_v to_o undermine_v godly_a sorrow_n he_o have_v these_o passage_n pharisaical_a repentance_n do_v consist_v in_o contrition_n confession_n humiliation_n and_o satisfaction_n first_o in_o contrition_n i_o brokennesse_n of_o heart_n thus_o the_o great_a pharisee_n of_o the_o world_n speak_v of_o it_o that_o there_o must_v be_v in_o those_o that_o do_v repent_v before_o they_o be_v accept_v of_o christ_n contrition_n enough_o i._o brokennesse_n of_o heart_n before_o they_o come_v to_o christ_n now_o i_o will_v fain_o know_v when_o we_o shall_v come_v to_o brokennesse_n of_o heart_n enough_o that_o we_o may_v be_v judge_v fit_a to_o come_v to_o christ_n i_o think_v none_o of_o they_o be_v able_a to_o give_v satisfaction_n and_o a_o little_a after_o you_o must_v not_o think_v to_o get_v a_o break_a heart_n before_o you_o have_v get_v christ_n but_o have_v christ_n he_o will_v give_v you_o a_o break_a heart_n here_o he_o make_v contrition_n a_o part_n of_o pharisaical_a repentance_n and_o account_v they_o the_o great_a pharisee_n of_o the_o time_n who_o require_v contrition_n enough_o before_o man_n be_v accept_v of_o christ_n but_o those_o preacher_n who_o in_o mr._n bacon_n esteem_n be_v pharisees_n do_v teach_v that_o true_a contrition_n be_v wrought_v in_o respect_n of_o time_n neither_o before_o nor_o after_o the_o receive_n of_o christ_n but_o at_o the_o same_o instant_n without_o which_o there_o be_v no_o come_n to_o

a_o break_a heart_n and_o contrition_n enough_o be_v require_v not_o in_o respect_n of_o quantity_n and_o measure_n but_o for_o quality_n and_o kind_n which_o be_v wont_a to_o be_v set_v forth_o by_o
