how_o he_o labour_v to_o convert_v his_o fellow_n thief_n and_o to_o make_v he_o give_v all_o the_o glory_n to_o god_n he_o be_v so_o wound_v to_o the_o soul_n that_o his_o fellow_n thief_n shall_v

here_o you_o may_v see_v his_o penitential_a faith_n he_o believe_v not_o with_o a_o general_a faith_n but_o with_o a_o save_n and_o particular_a faith_n with_o faith_n and_o assurance_n he_o look_v on_o christ_n as_o his_o jesus_n he_o say_v unto_o jesus_n there_o be_v not_o one_o idle_a word_n in_o this_o text_n the_o holy_a ghost_n say_v he_o say_v unto_o jesus_n he_o say_v not_o that_o he_o

of_o my_o own_o will_n hitherto_o all_o my_o steal_n and_o other_o sin_n have_v be_v to_o fulfil_v my_o own_o will_n but_o now_o i_o confess_v thou_o to_o be_v my_o lord_n and_o be_v i_o to_o live_v

do_v not_o only_o pray_v thus_o but_o say_v basil_n he_o offer_v much_o prayer_n unto_o god_n even_o as_o much_o as_o his_o short_a time_n can_v permit_v these_o word_n be_v but_o the_o sum_n of_o

now_o show_v i_o such_o a_o repentance_n whereby_o thou_o may_v put_v down_o peter_n and_o all_o the_o apostle_n of_o christ_n either_o show_v i_o such_o a_o repentance_n extraordinary_a
