A33961	Defensative armour, against four of Sathan's most fiery darts viz. temptations to atheistical and blasphemous impressions and thoughts, self-murther, despair, and presumption : wherein is discoursed the nature of these temptations, the several tempters to these sins, the arguments ordinarily used by the tempters in the inforcing of them, and some proper advice is offered to those who are exercised with them / by J.C. D.D. ...	Collinges, John, 1623-1690.	1680 (1680)	Wing C5312; ESTC R12985	145,095	356

old_a in_o any_o sin_n second_o take_v heed_n of_o any_o kind_n of_o prodigious_a sin_v there_o be_v degree_n in_o sin_n all_o sin_n be_v not_o of_o the_o same_o thy_fw-mi or_o magnitude_n there_o

yet_o we_o shall_v not_o find_v it_o so_o easy_a to_o believe_v that_o god_n will_v forgive_v the_o great_a sin_n as_o the_o small_a and_o so_o the_o devil_n have_v the_o great_a advantage_n from_o

the_o direct_a or_o reflex_n light_a of_o conscience_n do_v often_o cause_v a_o very_a great_a darkness_n which_o be_v feel_v in_o the_o soul_n for_o though_o in_o the_o heat_n and_o madness_n of_o

you_o know_v that_o christ_n have_v tell_v we_o that_o all_o sin_n and_o blasphemy_n shall_v be_v forgive_v only_o the_o sin_n against_o the_o holy_a ghost_n shall_v never_o be_v forgive_v and_o the_o

drive_v a_o soul_n to_o despair_n tell_v it_o that_o it_o have_v sin_v this_o sin_n and_o therefore_o there_o be_v no_o hope_n for_o it_o the_o vanity_n of_o which_o appear_v from_o the_o soul_n thus_o tempt_v usual_a ignorance_n what_o the_o sin_n against_o the_o holy_a ghost_n be_v as_o to_o which_o indeed_o the_o most_o judicious_a divine_n have_v be_v much_o at_o lo●s_n to_o determine_v

that_o text_n heb._n 10._o that_o there_o be_v a_o wilful_a sin_v after_o the_o knowledge_n of_o the_o truth_n after_o which_o there_o will_v remain_v no_o sacrifice_n for_o sin_n but_o what_o that_o

place_n i_o will_v have_v thou_o scrious_o consider_v whether_o the_o freeness_n of_o divine_a grace_n in_o the_o remission_n of_o sin_n be_v due_o think_v of_o by_o thou_o who_o objecte_v thus_o against_o thyself_o take_v heed_n thou_o have_v not_o some_o thought_n within_o thou_o that_o thou_o shall_v recompense_v god_n by_o thy_o future_a holiness_n for_o thy_o past_a provocation_n and_o whether_o that_o which_o discourage_v thy_o hope_v in_o god_n and_o look_v up_o unto_o he_o for_o mercy_n be_v not_o a_o prospect_n that_o thou_o be_v not_o like_a to_o have_v time_n enough_o to_o

thy_o transgression_n for_o my_o own_o name_n sake_n and_o we_o have_v redemption_n even_o forgiveness_n of_o sin_n through_o his_o blood_n the_o end_n which_o god_n aim_v at_o in_o the_o forgiveness_n of_o any_o soul_n sin_n be_v his_o own_o glory_n the_o glorify_v of_o the_o riches_n of_o his_o grace_n not_o receive_v the_o homage_n of_o a_o holy_a life_n though_o that_o be_v thy_o duty_n and_o what_o god_n require_v of_o thou_o yet_o i_o say_v that_o be_v not_o god_n great_a and_o ultimate_a end_n he_o will_v have_v mercy_n on_o who_o he_o will_v have_v mercy_n and_o extend_v

it_o be_v not_o for_o our_o sake_n nor_o for_o our_o future_a work_n sake_n but_o for_o his_o own_o name_n sake_n and_o for_o his_o dear_a s●n's_n sake_n that_o he_o grant_v unto_o any_o pardon_v and_o forgiveness_n of_o sin_n now_o although_o the_o time_n of_o thy_o life_n yet_o to_o come_v in_o probability_n will_v not_o be_v commensurate_a to_o the_o time_n of_o life_n which_o be_v past_a and_o spend_v in_o sin_v and_o dishonour_v god_n yet_o why_o may_v not_o the_o great_a god_n glorify_v the_o riches_n of_o his_o grace_n in_o the_o free_a forgiveness_n of_o thou_o why_o may_v he_o not_o exalt_v the_o blood_n of_o his_o son_n in_o wash_v thy_o soul_n 2._o second_o it_o be_v not_o for_o we_o to_o know_v time_n and_o season_n which_o be_v in_o god_n power_n only_o it_o be_v true_a god_n seem_v to_o have_v reveal_v that_o every_o soul_n have_v a_o set_a time_n beyond_o which_o be_v will_v show_v it_o no_o favour_n and_o that_o this_o be_v not_o only_o the_o end_n of_o our_o

be_v past_a where_o have_v we_o any_o direction_n from_o the_o word_n of_o god_n to_o fix_v any_o such_o time_n or_o to_o conclude_v it_o as_o to_o any_o period_n of_o time_n we_o know_v the_o master_n of_o the_o vineyard_n call_v to_o some_o to_o come_v and_o work_n in_o his_o vineyard_n at_o the_o 11_o hour_n and_o we_o know_v also_o that_o the_o thief_n upon_o the_o cross_n be_v tell_v in_o the_o last_o hour_n of_o his_o life_n that_o he_o shall_v that_o night_n be_v with_o christ_n in_o paradise_n secret_n thing_n belong_v unto_o god_n reveal_v thing_n only_o to_o we_o and_o to_o

his_o word_n command_v we_o as_o our_o certain_a duty_n 3._o three_o suppose_v there_o be_v a_o heart_n find_v in_o we_o to_o be_v sorry_a for_o our_o sin_n humble_v for_o they_o and_o to_o turn_v

and_o therefore_o you_o shall_v observe_v in_o that_o dreadful_a text_n heb._n 6._o the_o apostle_n say_v of_o they_o that_o have_v be_v once_o enlighten_v and_o have_v taste_v of_o the_o heavenly_a
