reach_v it_o now_o there_o be_v many_o way_n for_o our_o imitation_n wherein_o angel_n perform_v the_o will_n of_o god_n first_o they_o do_v the_o will_n of_o god_n in_o purity_n of_o affection_n

you_o angel_n that_o excel_v in_o strength_n that_o do_v his_o commandment_n in_o obey_v the_o voice_n of_o his_o word_n etc._n etc._n so_o must_v we_o perform_v the_o will_n of_o 20._o god_n in_o

which_o make_v that_o we_o can_v perfect_o repent_v we_o of_o all_o our_o sin_n in_o this_o life_n now_o against_o this_o doctrine_n there_o may_v be_v three_o objection_n object_n 1_o object_n 1._o all_o the_o work_n of_o god_n be_v perfect_a repentance_n be_v a_o work_n of_o god_n therefore_o repentance_n may_v be_v perfect_a in_o a_o man_n in_o this_o life_n answ._n to_o this_o i_o answer_v the_o work_n of_o god_n be_v of_o two_o sort_n first_o some_o god_n work_v immediate_o second_o some_o he_o work_v not_o immediate_o by_o himself_o but_o mediate_o by_o man_n now_o those_o work_n of_o god_n which_o he_o work_v by_o himself_o they_o be_v perfect_a work_n and_o have_v no_o defect_n but_o those_o work_n which_o god_n work_v by_o mean_n of_o man_n those_o be_v not_o always_o perfect_a but_o many_o time_n carry_v some_o point_n and_o mark_n of_o frailty_n in_o they_o as_o we_o know_v a_o scrivener_n who_o write_v a_o perfect_a hand_n of_o himself_o yet_o let_v he_o put_v the_o pen_n into_o a_o lead_v child_n hand_n though_o he_o guide_v it_o his_o writing_n will_v not_o be_v so_o fair_a as_o that_o of_o his_o teacher_n because_o it_o somewhat_o participate_v of_o the_o child_n unskilfulnesse_n so_o it_o be_v in_o this_o matter_n of_o repentance_n because_o this_o be_v not_o a_o work_n which_o god_n work_v mere_o by_o himself_o but_o by_o the_o mean_n of_o a_o man_n himself_o assist_v use_v his_o will_n and_o other_o affection_n therein_o therefore_o because_o there_o be_v defect_n in_o man_n affection_n and_o reluctation_n in_o his_o will_n resist_v well-doing_n therefore_o his_o repentance_n must_v needs_o be_v imperfect_a object_n 2_o the_o second_o objection_n be_v take_v out_o of_o scripture_n where_o the_o scripture_n many_o time_n seem_v to_o speak_v of_o the_o perfection_n of_o a_o christian_a sometime_o command_v it_o as_o math._n 5._o 48._o be_v you_o therefore_o perfect_a even_o as_o your_o father_n which_o be_v in_o heaven_n be_v perfect_a sometime_o commend_v man_n for_o it_o as_o 1._o cor._n 2._o 6._o howbeit_o we_o speak_v wisdom_n among_o they_o that_o be_v perfect_a etc._n etc._n so_o phil._n 3._o 13._o let_v we_o therefore_o as_o many_o as_o be_v perfect_a be_v thus_o mind_v etc._n etc._n and_o therefore_o if_o there_o be_v perfection_n in_o other_o grace_n there_o be_v also_o perfection_n in_o repentance_n answ._n to_o this_o i_o say_v perfection_n that_o the_o scripture_n speak_v of_o be_v either_o comparative_a in_o comparison_n of_o other_o as_o in_o the_o same_o three_o chapter_n of_o the_o philippian_n s._n paul_n have_v plain_o affirm_v that_o he_o be_v not_o perfect_a before_o god_n however_o now_o he_o be_v perfect_a comparatiuè_n more_o perfect_a than_o other_o man_n who_o have_v not_o such_o excellent_a gift_n and_o grace_n as_o noah_n be_v a_o just_a and_o perfect_a man_n in_o respect_n of_o those_o wretched_a people_n who_o live_v in_o those_o time_n gen._n 6._o 50._o so_o job_n and_o zacharie_n in_o this_o respect_n be_v call_v ●ust_z man_n second_o exit_fw-la parte_fw-la we_o may_v be_v say_v to_o be_v just_a and_o perfect_a in_o some_o respect_n and_o degree_n as_o math._n 5._o be_v you_o therefore_o perfect_a as_o your_o heavenly_a father_n be_v perfect_a here_o we_o can_v be_v so_o perfect_a in_o the_o intention_n of_o our_o love_n but_o in_o the_o extension_n thereof_o to_o love_v all_o sort_n to_o love_v our_o enemy_n to_o love_v friend_n and_o foe_n and_o do_v good_a to_o all_o of_o all_o sort_n with_o a_o eye_n unto_o god_n that_o be_v that_o perfection_n here_o mean_v and_o speak_v of_o object_n 3_o the_o three_o objection_n be_v this_o all_o the_o grace_n of_o god_n that_o be_v imperfect_a in_o this_o life_n shall_v be_v perfect_v in_o heaven_n 1._o cor._n 13._o 10._o but_o our_o repentance_n shall_v not_o be_v perfect_v in_o heaven_n for_o in_o heaven_n there_o be_v no_o sorrow_n for_o sin_n as_o reu._n 16._o 17._o for_o god_n shall_v wipe_v away_o all_o tear_n from_o their_o eye_n therefore_o because_o repentance_n shall_v not_o be_v perfect_v in_o heaven_n it_o must_v needs_o be_v perfect_v in_o this_o life_n to_o this_o i_o answer_v there_o be_v two_o part_n of_o repentance_n considerable_a 1._o there_o be_v a_o poenall_a part_n if_o i_o may_v so_o call_v it_o 2._o a_o part_n that_o consist_v in_o sanctify_a motion_n answ._n that_o part_n of_o repentance_n which_o be_v poenall_a sorrow_n afflict_v tear_n and_o such_o like_a shall_v cease_v in_o heaven_n and_o be_v mere_o shut_v up_o within_o the_o bound_n of_o this_o life_n but_o that_o part_n thereof_o which_o consist_v in_o sanctify_a motion_n shall_v be_v perfect_v in_o heaven_n because_o we_o shall_v perfect_o dislike_v and_o hate_v all_o the_o sin_n that_o over_o we_o have_v commit_v thus_o the_o doctrine_n be_v clear_a the_o use_n be_v three_o use_v 1_o first_o see_v that_o no_o man_n repentance_n be_v perfect_a in_o this_o life_n therefore_o as_o we_o pray_v unto_o god_n to_o pardonour_v other_o imperfection_n so_o we_o must_v pray_v to_o pardon_v the_o fail_n of_o our_o repentance_n not_o to_o weigh_v they_o in_o the_o balance_n of_o justice_n lest_o they_o be_v find_v light_n but_o in_o the_o balance_n of_o ●…ercie_n where_o small_a thing_n be_v take_v in_o good_a worth_n and_o therefore_o as_o the_o man_n in_o the_o gospel_n come_v to_o christ_n with_o tear_n say_v lord_n i_o believe_v help_v my_o unbelief_n so_o must_v we_o all_o ●4_n cry_n unto_o god_n with_o mournful_a and_o heavy_a heart_n lord_n i_o repent_v but_o for_o christ_n sake_n pardon_v the_o many_o fail_n of_o my_o repentance_n use_v 2_o second_o see_v our_o repentance_n be_v imperfect_a in_o this_o life_n therefore_o it_o be_v clear_a that_o no_o man_n by_o his_o repentance_n can_v merit_v any_o thing_n at_o the_o hand_n of_o god_n the_o very_a schoolman_n say_v the_o selfsame_o thing_n that_o any_o defect_n co●rad_n want_n or_o impenitency_n make_v our_o repentance_n to_o be_v imperfect_a yea_o all_o we_o can_v do_v be_v full_a of_o defect_n and_o want_n therefore_o no_o merit_n before_o god_n and_o if_o it_o merit_v nothing_o at_o the_o hand_n of_o god_n then_o when_o man_n have_v repent_v they_o of_o their_o sin_n they_o have_v need_v still_o of_o the_o blood_n of_o christ_n to_o make_v reconciliation_n and_o atonement_n for_o they_o it_o be_v the_o opinion_n of_o some_o in_o the_o world_n that_o if_o one_o have_v repent_v of_o a_o sin_n by_o and_o by_o he_o shall_v be_v save_v by_o the_o virtue_n of_o his_o repentance_n but_o the_o truth_n be_v that_o though_o repentance_n be_v a_o necessary_a duty_n and_o disposition_n without_o which_o no_o man_n live_a can_v be_v save_v in_o this_o state_n of_o sin_n and_o though_o it_o be_v never_o so_o sincere_o perform_v and_o often_o reiterated_a yet_o because_o it_o be_v full_a of_o so_o many_o imperfection_n it_o have_v need_n of_o the_o blood_n of_o christ_n to_o perfect_v it_o and_o reconcile_v we_o unto_o god_n holy_a clean_a and_o unblameable_a in_o his_o sight_n as_o peter_n tell_v we_o you_o also_o as_o lively_a stone_n be_v build_v up_o a_o spiritual_a 5._o house_n a_o holy_a priesthood_n
