those_o mercy_n that_o thou_o have_v abuse_v and_o therefore_o thou_o have_v need_v to_o look_v for_o somewhat_o else_o to_o settle_v thy_o soul_n upon_o then_o this_o to_o say_v that_o god_n be_v

it_o never_o wrought_v to_o the_o pardon_n of_o any_o one_o sin_n and_o therefore_o if_o you_o look_v upon_o the_o mercy_n of_o god_n and_o do_v not_o look_v to_o the_o right_a way_n of_o the_o conveyance_n of_o it_o you_o may_v most_o dangerous_o mistake_v the_o ground_n and_o bottom_n of_o faith_n that_o justify_v be_v not_o mere_o to_o cast_v one_o self_n on_o the_o mercy_n of_o god_n for_o there_o be_v none_o but_o in_o a_o natural_a way_n know_v that_o god_n be_v a_o merciful_a god_n but_o the_o main_a ground_n of_o justification_n or_o of_o justify_v faith_n be_v the_o free_a grace_n of_o god_n through_o jesus_n christ_n that_o god_n be_v merciful_a through_o a_o mediator_n otherwise_o the_o ground_n of_o your_o faith_n be_v but_o on_o a_o mere_a confuse_a notion_n of_o the_o mercy_n of_o god_n which_o will_v certain_o fail_v you_o a_o heathen_a may_v have_v as_o much_o to_o be_v the_o ground_n of_o his_o faith_n that_o the_o great_a creator_n of_o heaven_n and_o

thus_o far_o a_o heathen_a may_v go_v but_o the_o ground_n and_o bottom_n of_o faith_n be_v not_o the_o mercy_n of_o god_n in_o general_n but_o the_o mercy_n of_o god_n in_o and_o through_o a_o mediator_n observe_v a_o little_a further_o the_o ground_n of_o justify_v faith_n be_v not_o thus_o that_o god_n for_o christ_n sake_n will_v forgive_v i_o for_o what_o christ_n have_v do_v to_o purchase_v my_o pardon_n but_o there_o be_v another_o work_n of_o faith_n in_o the_o soul_n of_o believer_n though_o the_o soul_n apprehend_v it_o not_o it_o be_v not_o the_o work_n of_o faith_n in_o justification_n to_o believe_v that_o christ_n have_v pay_v so_o much_o as_o my_o debt_n come_v to_o but_o thus_o the_o work_n of_o faith_n be_v to_o bring_v the_o soul_n unto_o christ_n and_o to_o

transact_v on_o he_o to_o who_o thou_o be_v marry_v and_o he_o will_v discharge_v the_o debt_n because_o thou_o be_v marry_v to_o he_o so_o that_o the_o ground_n of_o faith_n be_v not_o to_o look_v unto_o god_n mere_o through_o his_o son_n that_o so_o i_o may_v have_v pardon_n but_o thus_o i_o must_v come_v to_o have_v christ_n to_o be_v i_o i_o must_v be_v marry_v with_o christ_n and_o so_o

to_o look_v upon_o the_o riches_n of_o the_o grace_n of_o god_n in_o the_o mediation_n of_o his_o son_n i_o must_v come_v with_o a_o eye_n of_o faith_n to_o be_v marry_v unto_o christ_n and_o christ_n with_o i_o the_o riches_n of_o god_n grace_n in_o christ_n be_v open_v before_o we_o now_o make_v use_n of_o it_o as_o a_o trial_n to_o show_v the_o danger_n of_o false_a ground_n in_o rely_v upon_o
