to_o equal_v those_o worthy_a example_n of_o repentance_n for_o i_o think_v it_o not_o only_o lawful_a but_o commendable_a for_o every_o one_o to_o desire_v the_o best_a gift_n we_o may_v desire_v to_o equal_v and_o if_o we_o can_v to_o excel_v david_n mary_n magdalen_n or_o any_o other_o provide_v always_o that_o we_o submit_v our_o will_n to_o the_o will_n of_o god_n and_o when_o we_o see_v that_o it_o be_v not_o his_o pleasure_n to_o confer_v upon_o we_o such_o gift_n as_o he_o confer_v upon_o they_o we_o must_v not_o therefore_o murmur_v against_o he_o nor_o work_v our_o own_o disquiet_n and_o trouble_v by_o make_v such_o unprofitable_a comparison_n but_o give_v thanks_o to_o god_n for_o what_o we_o have_v let_v we_o comfort_v ourselves_o with_o that_o consider_v always_o that_o all_o sorrow_n whether_o it_o be_v in_o a_o great_a or_o small_a quantity_n if_o it_o proceed_v from_o grace_n be_v able_a to_o save_v our_o soul_n and_o this_o be_v the_o second_o condition_n necessary_a to_o a_o true_a confession_n that_o be_v sorrow_n and_o true_a contrition_n of_o heart_n the_o three_o condition_n necessary_a to_o a_o true_a confession_n be_v amendment_n of_o life_n although_o a_o man_n confess_v his_o sin_n every_o day_n yet_o if_o he_o forsake_v they_o not_o his_o confession_n be_v but_o a_o mere_a formality_n and_o this_o condition_n be_v require_v in_o many_o place_n of_o the_o scripture_n but_o i_o will_v only_o name_v a_o place_n or_o two_o in_o the_o 28_o chapter_n of_o the_o proverb_n and_o the_o 13_o verse_n it_o be_v say_v he_o that_o cover_v his_o sin_n shall_v not_o prosper_v but_o whoso_o confess_v and_o forsake_v they_o shall_v have_v mercy_n not_o every_o hypocrite_n that_o make_v a_o formal_a confession_n but_o he_o that_o confess_v and_o forsake_v his_o sin_n shall_v have_v mercy_n and_o again_o ezra_n 10.11_o ezra_n say_v unto_o the_o people_n now_o therefore_o make_v confession_n unto_o the_o lord_n god_n of_o your_o father_n and_o do_v his_o pleasure_n and_o separate_v yourselves_o from_o the_o people_n of_o the_o land_n and_o from_o the_o strange_a wife_n he_o do_v not_o only_o stir_v up_o the_o people_n to_o confess_v their_o sin_n to_o god_n but_o to_o do_v his_o pleasure_n also_o and_o to_o separate_v themselves_o from_o the_o people_n of_o the_o land_n with_o who_o they_o have_v contract_v affinity_n and_o to_o put_v away_o their_o strange_a wife_n without_o which_o their_o confession_n have_v be_v but_o vain_a it_o be_v i_o know_v a_o common_a opinion_n at_o this_o time_n that_o a_o actual_a amendment_n of_o life_n be_v not_o necessary_a and_o essential_a to_o confession_n but_o that_o a_o purpose_n of_o amendment_n with_o faith_n in_o christ_n jesus_n be_v sufficient_a and_o although_o they_o commit_v the_o same_o sin_n every_o day_n yet_o if_o they_o resolve_v to_o amend_v after_o they_o have_v commit_v they_o many_o think_v themselves_o if_o they_o shall_v die_v after_o such_o resolution_n in_o a_o good_a and_o safe_a condition_n but_o this_o belove_v be_v a_o gross_a and_o manifest_a delusion_n and_o contrary_a to_o those_o place_n of_o scripture_n that_o have_v be_v already_o allege_v and_o to_o many_o other_o which_o may_v be_v allege_v to_o this_o purpose_n it_o be_v true_a indeed_o that_o faith_n in_o christ_n jesus_n if_o it_o can_v be_v in_o any_o man_n without_o a_o actual_a amendment_n be_v able_a to_o save_v he_o but_o herein_o they_o deceive_v themselves_o in_o that_o they_o think_v true_a faith_n consistent_a with_o bare_a and_o naked_a resolution_n and_o not_o always_o accompany_v with_o a_o actual_a amendment_n for_o true_a faith_n will_v show_v itself_o in_o action_n and_o can_v be_v perfect_v and_o know_v by_o bare_a and_o naked_a resolution_n whatsoever_o be_v bear_v of_o god_n say_v saint_n john_n overcome_v the_o world_n and_o this_o be_v the_o victory_n that_o overcome_v the_o world_n even_o our_o faith_n 1_o john_n 5.4_o by_o true_a faith_n therefore_o a_o man_n overcome_v the_o world_n now_o how_o can_v he_o be_v say_v to_o overcome_v the_o world_n that_o have_v not_o forsake_v his_o sin_n for_o a_o victory_n be_v win_v by_o action_n and_o not_o by_o bare_a and_o naked_a resolution_n have_v drunkard_n think_v you_o overcome_v the_o world_n have_v adulterer_n unclean_a person_n swearer_n and_o usurer_n overcome_v the_o world_n no_o they_o be_v overcome_v themselves_o and_o have_v not_o overcome_v the_o world_n take_v heed_n therefore_o you_o deceive_v not_o yourselves_o think_v not_o you_o have_v faith_n before_o you_o find_v the_o fruit_n of_o faith_n in_o your_o life_n and_o conversation_n i_o presume_v there_o be_v none_o here_o but_o will_v say_v they_o have_v faith_n but_o i_o pray_v god_n many_o among_o you_o be_v not_o delude_v shall_v i_o demand_v of_o you_o whether_o you_o believe_v in_o god_n or_o whether_o you_o believe_v a_o heaven_n and_o a_o hell_n and_o a_o resurrection_n from_o the_o dead_a i_o dare_v say_v you_o will_v all_o answer_n yes_o but_o then_o if_o i_o can_v look_v into_o your_o life_n and_o see_v your_o secret_a practice_n i_o be_o afraid_a i_o shall_v find_v many_o of_o you_o to_o be_v such_o as_o if_o yet_o believe_v no_o such_o matter_n i_o say_v if_o i_o can_v look_v into_o your_o life_n i_o be_o afraid_a i_o shall_v find_v many_o of_o you_o to_o be_v such_o as_o if_o you_o believe_v neither_o heaven_n not_o hell_n nor_o the_o resurrection_n of_o the_o dead_a nor_o any_o other_o article_n of_o faith_n for_o wherein_o do_v many_o among_o we_o exceed_v a_o infidel_n that_o believe_v none_o of_o these_o thing_n be_v it_o possible_a that_o infidelity_n shall_v produce_v as_o good_a effect_n in_o they_o as_o faith_n in_o you_o be_v faith_n so_o sluggish_a a_o virtue_n that_o it_o can_v he_o still_o and_o not_o be_v active_a no_o be_v sure_a if_o thy_o faith_n break_v not_o into_o action_n it_o be_v but_o a_o dead_a faith_n in_o the_o 11_o chapter_n to_o the_o hebrew_n there_o be_v many_o commend_v for_o faith_n but_o they_o be_v all_o say_v to_o have_v do_v something_o by_o it_o it_o be_v say_v by_o faith_n abel_n offer_v a_o better_a sacrifice_n than_o cain_n and_o so_o of_o all_o the_o rest_n it_o be_v say_v they_o do_v something_o by_o faith_n but_o there_o be_v none_o which_o be_v say_v to_o have_v make_v good_a resolution_n by_o faith_n and_o to_o have_v keep_v none_o of_o they_o true_a faith_n therefore_o must_v be_v know_v and_o perfect_v by_o action_n and_o not_o by_o bare_a and_o naked_a resolution_n and_o this_o be_v the_o three_o condition_n necessary_a to_o a_o true_a confession_n that_o be_v amendment_n of_o life_n the_o four_o condition_n necessary_a to_o a_o true_a confession_n be_v satisfaction_n i_o shall_v not_o need_v to_o prove_v this_o condition_n necessary_a because_o it_o be_v manifest_o include_v in_o the_o former_a for_o there_o can_v be_v no_o amendment_n without_o satisfaction_n he_o that_o do_v wrong_v another_o and_o do_v not_o repair_v the_o injury_n can_v be_v say_v to_o amend_v but_o sin_v against_o justice_n for_o justice_n give_v to_o every_o one_o his_o due_a which_o he_o refuse_v to_o do_v that_o will_v not_o restore_v his_o neighbour_n good_n or_o his_o neighbour_n credit_n when_o he_o have_v wrongful_o deprive_v he_o of_o they_o now_o therefore_o let_v every_o one_o examine_v his_o confession_n and_o see_v whether_o it_o have_v all_o these_o condition_n or_o no_o first_o whether_o he_o have_v make_v a_o diligent_a examination_n of_o his_o whole_a life_n and_o confess_v all_o his_o particular_a and_o individual_a sin_n as_o far_o as_o he_o be_v able_a second_o whether_o his_o confession_n be_v join_v with_o true_a sorrow_n and_o contrition_n of_o heart_n three_o whether_o he_o have_v for_o saken_a the_o sin_n which_o he_o have_v confess_v four_o whether_o he_o have_v make_v satisfaction_n as_o far_o as_o he_o be_v able_a for_o all_o the_o wrong_n and_o injury_n he_o have_v do_v if_o his_o confession_n have_v all_o these_o condition_n it_o be_v good_a but_o if_o it_o want_v any_o of_o they_o he_o have_v but_o play_v the_o formal_a hypocrite_n and_o so_o much_o of_o the_o second_o part_n of_o david_n confession_n which_o be_v his_o confession_n in_o respect_n of_o the_o act_n i_o come_v now_o to_o the_o last_o part_n which_o be_v his_o confession_n in_o respect_n of_o the_o object_n i_o have_v sin_v against_o thou_o the_o object_n against_o who_o this_o sin_n be_v commit_v be_v not_o express_v in_o the_o word_n of_o my_o text_n but_o be_v imply_v in_o this_o word_n thou_o yet_o we_o shall_v not_o need_v to_o go_v far_o to_o seek_v it_o for_o it_o be_v express_v in_o the_o same_o verse_n i_o say_v lord_n be_v merciful_a unto_o i_o beale_v my_o soul_n for_o i_o have_v sin_v against_o thou_o it_o be_v

heal_v i_o come_v now_o to_o speak_v of_o the_o last_o part_n which_o be_v his_o confession_n of_o the_o cause_n of_o those_o wound_n in_o these_o word_n for_o i_o have_v sin_v against_o thou_o the_o right_a method_n of_o heal_v require_v that_o we_o show_v the_o cause_n of_o the_o malady_n as_o far_o as_o we_o be_v able_a for_o the_o cause_n be_v remove_v the_o effect_n will_v cease_v that_o david_n do_v here_o in_o these_o last_o word_n for_o i_o have_v sin_v against_o thou_o and_o this_o last_o part_n of_o my_o text_n be_v that_o which_o we_o be_v chief_o to_o look_v upon_o and_o to_o take_v into_o consideration_n for_o before_o as_o i_o have_v show_v you_o he_o give_v occasion_n to_o those_o that_o be_v of_o the_o church_n to_o sin_n to_o those_o that_o be_v out_o of_o it_o to_o blaspheme_v first_o he_o commit_v adultery_n and_o after_o that_o as_o if_o adultery_n be_v to_o be_v purge_v by_o murder_n or_o as_o if_o uriah_n lose_v honour_n have_v be_v to_o be_v repair_v by_o the_o loss_n of_o his_o life_n he_o command_v he_o to_o be_v unjust_o murder_v but_o here_o you_o may_v see_v he_o mark_v out_o the_o way_n to_o repentance_n and_o go_v himself_o before_o to_o direct_v we_o for_o as_o he_o be_v not_o ashamed_a to_o commit_v sin_n so_o he_o be_v not_o ashamed_a to_o confess_v it_o and_o to_o make_v public_a satisfaction_n to_o the_o whole_a world_n for_o my_o text_n and_o many_o other_o place_n of_o the_o psalm_n remain_v as_o it_o be_v so_o many_o public_a register_n of_o his_o sin_n he_o sigh_v and_o weep_v and_o lament_a day_n and_o night_n and_o in_o a_o word_n show_v all_o the_o mark_n and_o token_n of_o a_o humble_a and_o contrite_a heart_n break_v with_o the_o sense_n of_o his_o sin_n and_o the_o apprehension_n of_o god_n anger_n against_o they_o if_o a_o gold_n ring_n be_v break_v it_o lose_v part_n of_o its_o grace_n and_o lustre_n but_o if_o you_o set_v a_o diamond_n or_o a_o saphyr_n or_o a_o ruby_n in_o the_o break_a place_n it_o give_v a_o great_a lustre_n than_o it_o do_v before_o so_o david_n by_o his_o sin_n lose_a part_n of_o that_o grace_n and_o lustre_n that_o make_v he_o shine_v so_o bright_o in_o the_o church_n of_o god_n but_o his_o confession_n humility_n repentance_n and_o other_o virtue_n like_o so_o many_o precious_a stone_n set_v in_o a_o gold_n ring_n in_o the_o place_n where_o it_o be_v break_v have_v make_v he_o shine_v bright_a after_o his_o fall_n then_o in_o his_o former_a time_n of_o innocence_n for_o as_o his_o sin_n be_v great_a so_o be_v his_o sorrow_n and_o repentance_n and_o i_o will_v

by_o the_o free_a and_o full_a consent_n of_o my_o will_n i_o have_v so_o sin_v that_o these_o sin_n be_v proper_o and_o only_o i_o it_o be_v the_o custom_n of_o many_o to_o excuse_v themselves_o
