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

truth_n as_o entertain_v and_o second_v his_o humour_n but_o he_o that_o have_v the_o light_n of_o grace_n delight_v equal_o in_o all_o truth_n though_o they_o seem_v direct_o to_o oppose_v his_o

to_o faith_n and_o to_o all_o the_o truth_n that_o it_o reveal_v may_v assure_v himself_o his_o understanding_n be_v enlighten_v by_o grace_n but_o he_o that_o find_v it_o not_o whatsoever_o he_o

faith_n can_v but_o love_v faith_n it_o be_v our_o saviour_n christ_n manner_n of_o argue_v with_o his_o disciple_n if_o you_o be_v of_o the_o world_n the_o world_n will_v love_v his_o own_o but_o you_o be_v not_o of_o the_o world_n therefore_o the_o world_n hate_v you_o john_n 15.19_o the_o sum_n and_o abstract_n of_o our_o saviour_n speech_n be_v this_o the_o world_n love_v not_o a_o spiritual_a profession_n because_o spiritual_a thing_n be_v none_o of_o their_o own_o if_o spiritual_a thing_n be_v their_o own_o they_o will_v love_v a_o spiritual_a profession_n so_o i_o may_v argue_v with_o other_o if_o faith_n be_v their_o own_o they_o can_v but_o love_v faith_n and_o the_o truth_n which_o it_o reveal_v and_o this_o be_v the_o second_o thing_n to_o which_o david_n petition_n must_v be_v apply_v namely_o to_o the_o understanding_n now_o in_o the_o three_o place_n this_o petition_n must_v be_v apply_v to_o the_o will_v heal_n my_o will_n for_o among_o all_o the_o

the_o wound_n of_o infirmity_n or_o of_o ignorance_n and_o therefore_o that_o must_v be_v heal_v before_o the_o soul_n can_v be_v in_o a_o safe_a condition_n the_o will_v indeed_o be_v in_o a_o better_a case_n after_o the_o affection_n and_o understanding_n be_v heal_v than_o it_o be_v before_o for_o be_v a_o indifferent_a faculty_n of_o itself_o it_o be_v move_v by_o the_o affection_n and_o therefore_o when_o the_o affection_n be_v heal_v it_o have_v not_o such_o strong_a provocation_n to_o sin_n and_o be_v a_o blind_a faculty_n of_o itself_o it_o receive_v information_n from_o the_o

will_n the_o will_n have_v his_o proper_a wound_n and_o so_o must_v have_v his_o proper_a cure_n and_o here_o the_o manner_n of_o heal_v be_v still_o by_o supernatural_a grace_n grace_n have_v heat_n for_o the_o will_n as_o well_o as_o light_v for_o the_o understanding_n otherwise_o it_o can_v not_o heal_v the_o soul_n sufficient_o for_o the_o devil_n have_v light_a but_o he_o have_v no_o heat_n

which_o i_o will_v not_o only_o desire_v above_o all_o other_o spiritual_a grace_n but_o above_o all_o they_o and_o all_o the_o joy_n of_o heaven_n together_o faith_n be_v the_o foundation_n upon_o which_o we_o must_v build_v our_o love_n for_o how_o can_v we_o love_v god_n as_o we_o ought_v if_o we_o believe_v not_o in_o he_o as_o we_o ought_v and_o yet_o love_n may_v exceed_v faith_n in_o
