every_o one_o that_o beleve_v she_o have_v never_o more_o faithful_a subject_n and_o i_o dare_v undertake_v she_o never_o have_v more_o fervent_a prayer_n for_o her_o prosperity_n in_o government_n

for_o here_o we_o see_v plain_o that_o he_o renounce_v all_o those_o which_o think_v better_a of_o themselves_o then_o sinner_n as_o these_o pharise_n who_o dream_v that_o their_o own_o

it_o be_v well_o worth_a the_o note_n for_o who_o do_v he_o call_v righteous_a but_o those_o which_o trust_v only_o in_o their_o own_o righteousness_n and_o make_v no_o account_n of_o the_o righteousness_n of_o christ_n now_o these_o he_o do_v renounce_v first_o because_o it_o be_v the_o determinate_a will_n &_o purpose_n of_o his_o father_n which_o send_v he_o that_o whosoever_o will_v make_v himself_o righteous_a &_o be_v his_o own_o christ_n &_o his_o own_o jesus_n shall_v lie_v still_o in_o blindness_n &_o sleep_v in_o his_o own_o confusion_n an_o other_o cause_n may_v be_v that_o forsomuch_o as_o he_o come_v purposely_o to_o seek_v &_o to_o save_v that_o which_o be_v lose_v &_o the_o righteous_a imagine_v that_o they_o neu●r_o go_v astray_o therefore_o he_o let_v they_o be_v as_o they_o be_v an_o other_o reason_n may_v yet_o be_v take_v of_o the_o set_n forth_o his_o father_n glory_n for_o that_o there_o shall_v be_v more_o joy_v in_o heaven_n over_o one_o sinner_n that_o repent_v then_o over_o ninety_o and_o nine_o just_a person_n which_o need_v no_o repentance_n and_o no_o doubt_n if_o he_o have_v offer_v to_o call_v they_o he_o have_v but_o lose_v his_o

belove_a beware_v how_o you_o stand_v upon_o your_o own_o righteousness_n because_o of_o a_o few_o good_a work_n sure_o you_o have_v no_o more_o portion_n in_o christ_n then_o the_o very_a pharisee_n that_o ever_o be_v for_o if_o our_o saviour_n jesus_n will_v be_v find_v faithful_a in_o his_o messiaship_n he_o must_v renounce_v you_o and_o say_v i_o come_v not_o to_o call_v the_o righteous_a not_o the_o righteous_a who_o then_o sinner_n sinner_n behold_v dear_o belove_v if_o you_o think_v to_o reap_v the_o benefit_n of_o christ_n come_n you_o must_v humble_v yourselves_o and_o become_v sinner_n but_o how_o or_o in_o what_o manner_n do_v he_o call_v sinner_n the_o call_n of_o christ_n be_v of_o two_o sort_n the_o one_o be_v common_a wherewith_o we_o be_v in_o deed_n stir_v up_o after_o a_o sort_n but_o not_o effectual_o bind_v &_o bring_v to_o the_o purpose_n for_o that_o they_o be_v not_o please_v with_o the_o mean_n as_o god_n word_n the_o sacrament_n sermon_n &c_n &c_n and_o this_o be_v common_a to_o the_o reprobate_n &_o righteous_a as_o well_o as_o to_o the_o elect_v &_o sinner_n now_o the_o other_o be_v a_o convenient_a and_o a_o mighty_a call_n whereby_o the_o mind_n of_o sinner_n be_v touch_v and_o thorough_o charge_v for_o in_o this_o very_a manner_n he_o do_v call_v sinner_n to_o repentance_n first_o he_o sound_v in_o their_o ear_n by_o the_o voice_n of_o his_o law_n the_o great_a danger_n of_o death_n and_o damnation_n wherein_o they_o stand_v because_o they_o have_v so_o wilful_o transgress_v his_o commandment_n &_o this_o strike_v they_o in_o such_o horror_n of_o their_o sin_n &_o fear_n of_o his_o vengeance_n that_o they_o will_v be_v glad_a to_o be_v reconcile_v to_o god_n the_o father_n lest_o he_o shall_v pour_v upon_o they_o their_o deserve_a punishment_n then_o he_o send_v they_o the_o sweet_a comfort_n of_o the_o gospel_n which_o show_v they_o that_o jesus_n christ_n be_v become_v their_o mediator_n &_o advocate_n &_o if_o they_o believe_v in_o he_o they_o shall_v be_v safe_a &_o sure_a whereupon_o he_o give_v they_o faith_n &_o plant_v it_o so_o fast_o in_o they_o that_o nothing_o can_v draw_v they_o from_o christ_n and_o lest_o this_o faith_n shall_v be_v idle_a &_o frutlesse_o he_o send_v they_o the_o holy_a ghost_n the_o spirit_n of_o adoption_n to_o work_v in_o their_o heart_n according_a to_o their_o call_n and_o thus_o you_o see_v how_o jesus_n christ_n call_v sinner_n to_o repentance_n if_o you_o shall_v question_v far_o with_o i_o &_o inquire_v of_o the_o time_n when_o he_o call_v sinner_n that_o be_v
