therefore_o god_n do_v extraordinary_o comfort_v and_o encourage_v he_o as_o he_o do_v the_o rest_n of_o his_o prophet_n and_o apostle_n the_o same_o god_n no_o doubt_n it_o be_v that_o to_o this_o

for_o have_v not_o jerusalem_n sin_v and_o grievous_o sin_v they_o shall_v not_o have_v need_v exhortation_n to_o repentance_n nor_o reprehension_n for_o not_o repent_v adam_n sin_v in_o paradise_n the_o jew_n sin_v at_o jerusalem_n the_o pope_n sin_v at_o rome_n the_o hermit_n in_o the_o wilderness_n no_o change_n of_o place_n but_o the_o gift_n of_o grace_n stay_v the_o course_n of_o sin_n all_o man_n have_v sin_v at_o all_o time_n and_o in_o all_o place_n use_v 1_o the_o use_n hereof_o may_v be_v first_o for_o reproof_n against_o pelagian_n and_o semipelagian_n the_o papist_n which_o

this_o heresy_n though_o it_o be_v ancient_a needs_o no_o other_o confutation_n than_o the_o common_a experience_n of_o all_o the_o world_n use_v 2_o second_o it_o may_v serve_v to_o teach_v we_o all_o to_o walk_v wary_o and_o circumspect_o in_o every_o place_n because_o we_o can_v come_v into_o no_o place_n but_o we_o shall_v meet_v with_o occasion_n enough_o to_o entice_v we_o unto_o sin_n which_o occasion_n we_o must_v avoid_v as_o much_o as_o possible_o we_o may_v use_v 3_o a_o three_o use_n may_v teach_v all_o pastor_n and_o preacher_n to_o labour_v by_o all_o mean_v possible_a in_o this_o duty_n to_o convince_v the_o world_n of_o sin_n as_o christ_n exhort_v wheresoever_o they_o be_v place_v use_v 4_o the_o four_o use_n may_v be_v for_o magistrate_n to_o learn_v they_o to_o

put_v down_o sin_n the_o sword_n and_o the_o word_n shall_v go_v together_o in_o this_o duty_n a_o five_o use_n we_o may_v here_o insert_v that_o see_v jerusalem_n itself_o nor_o any_o other_o church_n or_o kingdom_n in_o the_o world_n be_v free_a from_o sin_n and_o the_o pure_a church_n that_o ever_o be_v have_v their_o many_o imperfection_n therefore_o none_o shall_v separate_v amsterdam_n separate_v papist_n for_o rome_n and_o rheims_n brownist_n for_o amsterdam_n themselves_o from_o the_o society_n of_o the_o faithful_a in_o any_o church_n state_n or_o kingdom_n where_o

the_o prophet_n before_o that_o time_n to_o call_v people_n to_o repentance_n and_o it_o be_v the_o first_o and_o chief_a point_n of_o doctrine_n which_o the_o apostle_n of_o christ_n be_v command_v by_o our_o saviour_n to_o urge_v after_o his_o resurrection_n that_o repentance_n and_o remission_n of_o sin_n shall_v be_v preach_v in_o the_o name_n of_o jesus_n begin_v at_o jerusalem_n 2._o luk._n 2._o where_o our_o prophet_n jeremie_n prophesy_v long_a time_n before_o ob._n but_o if_o jeremies_n mind_n and_o purpose_n be_v to_o exhort_v the_o jew_n unto_o repentance_n why_o do_v he_o not_o use_v plain_a word_n to_o persuade_v thereunto_o answ_n i_o answer_v that_o this_o metaphor_n of_o wash_v which_o our_o prophet_n use_v in_o this_o place_n be_v far_o more_o significant_a then_o if_o he_o have_v exhort_v to_o repentance_n in_o plain_a term_n for_o now_o in_o stead_n of_o one_o word_n which_o he_o may_v have_v use_v namely_o repent_v he_o use_v such_o word_n whereby_o they_o be_v both_o exhort_v to_o repentance_n and_o also_o teach_v how_o to_o repent_v we_o will_v therefore_o consider_v the_o word_n in_o particular_a and_o take_v they_o both_o for_o a_o exhortation_n and_o as_o a_o direction_n to_o repentance_n only_o this_o one_o thing_n i_o will_v crave_v by_o the_o way_n of_o entreaty_n that_o hereafter_o in_o all_o this_o sermon_n you_o will_v not_o take_v these_o word_n of_o our_o prophet_n any_o more_o as_o speak_v to_o the_o jew_n but_o direct_v unto_o we_o for_o whatsoever_o be_v write_v you_o know_v it_o be_v write_v for_o our_o learning_n and_o as_o jerusalem_n to_o who_o this_o be_v first_o speak_v be_v a_o type_n and_o figure_n of_o the_o church_n of_o god_n so_o do_v this_o exhortation_n wash_v thy_o heart_n from_o wickedness_n belong_v to_o all_o church_n and_o kingdom_n city_n &_o country_n nation_n and_o people_n to_o all_o i_o say_v in_o general_a and_o to_o every_o one_o in_o particular_a every_o one_o have_v need_n to_o have_v his_o heart_n wash_v and_o cleanse_v from_o wickedness_n so_o that_o now_o in_o this_o three_o circumstance_n we_o must_v speak_v of_o three_o thing_n three_o thing_n first_o of_o wash_v or_o cleanse_v second_o of_o wash_v or_o cleanse_v of_o the_o heart_n three_o of_o wash_v or_o cleanse_v the_o heart_n from_o wickedness_n and_o first_o of_o wash_v or_o cleanse_v wash_v 1._o note_v wash_v this_o metaphor_n of_o wash_v as_o it_o be_v very_o significant_a so_o it_o be_v very_o usual_a among_o the_o prophet_n the_o prophet_n esay_n when_o he_o have_v most_o sharp_o reprove_v the_o same_o nation_n of_o the_o jew_n call_v the_o prince_n thereof_o the_o prince_n of_o sodom_n and_o the_o people_n thereof_o the_o people_n of_o gomorrah_n upbraid_v they_o that_o they_o be_v a_o finnefull_a

their_o hand_n for_o it_o be_v a_o burden_n unto_o he_o yet_o on_o a_o sudden_a the_o prophet_n change_v his_o speech_n and_o exhort_v they_o to_o repentance_n with_o these_o like_a word_n of_o our_o text_n wash_v you_o make_v you_o clean_o take_v away_o the_o evil_a of_o your_o work_n from_o before_o my_o eye_n cease_v to_o do_v evil_a learn_v to_o do_v well_o seek_v judgement_n relieve_v the_o
