of_o our_o neighbour_n sin_n not_o we_o the_o cover_n of_o our_o own_o avail_v we_o nothing_o unless_o we_o repent_v confess_v and_o forsake_v they_o it_o be_v write_v in_o the_o proverb_n that_o he_o

no_o mercy_n to_o be_v hope_v for_o without_o sincere_a repentance_n and_o a_o thorough-paced_n amendment_n ii_o when_o faith_n have_v once_o level_v these_o mountain_n of_o presumption_n and_o

never_o sufficient_o prepare_v the_o way_n of_o our_o lord_n unless_o the_o spirit_n of_o love_n begin_v to_o move_v the_o water_n our_o self-love_n may_v cry_v its_o eye_n out_o and_o almost_o

when_o sinner_n sleep_v secure_o they_o dream_v of_o nothing_o but_o the_o sensual_a satisfaction_n and_o the_o transitory_a pleasure_n of_o this_o life_n but_o when_o they_o once_o be_v rouse_v and_o

a_o supernatural_a light_n they_o dread_v it_o with_o a_o natural_a fear_n neither_o be_v there_o any_o need_n of_o quote_v aquinas_n for_o this_o truth_n it_o be_v as_o evident_o natural_a to_o to_o fear_v the_o pain_n of_o sense_n as_o it_o be_v to_o love_v the_o pleasure_n of_o it_o 2._o the_o uneasiness_n of_o this_o fear_n be_v troublesome_a to_o we_o and_o when_o it_o be_v great_a we_o

arrefted_a and_o eternal_o confine_v from_o all_o that_o ever_o please_v we_o when_o it_o once_o look_v big_a and_o terrible_a upon_o we_o it_o soon_o bring_v down_o our_o stomach_n and_o make_v we_o content_v now_o to_o think_v how_o merciful_a god_n be_v and_o seek_v for_o hope_n of_o comfort_n in_o the_o merit_n of_o his_o son_n 3._o when_o we_o be_v thus_o consider_v how_o good_a god_n be_v and_o how_o bad_a we_o be_v how_o great_a his_o mercy_n be_v and_o how_o little_a we_o deserve_v it_o how_o severe_a his_o justice_n be_v and_o how_o much_o we_o have_v provoke_v it_o when_o we_o be_v waver_v betwixt_o hope_n and_o fear_v and_o ponder_v the_o reason_n on_o both_o side_n admire_v that_o incomprehensible_a mercy_n which_o move_v the_o most_o high_a god_n to_o send_v his_o only_a son_n for_o the_o redemption_n of_o the_o world_n and_o be_v astonish_v at_o his_o inexorable_a justice_n which_o will_v not_o be_v atone_v by_o any_o other_o sacrifice_n when_o we_o compare_v the_o crookedness_n of_o sin_n with_o the_o straight_a path_n of_o virtue_n the_o truth_n the_o purity_n and_o equity_n of_o god_n law_n with_o our_o hypocrisy_n uncleanness_n and_o iniquity_n when_o we_o study_v the_o charm_a feature_n of_o his_o divine_a beauty_n and_o in_o his_o own_o light_n see_v our_o horrible_a deformity_n it_o be_v then_o that_o we_o begin_v to_o love_v he_o as_o the_o fountain_n of_o all_o righteousness_n and_o because_o we_o love_v he_o therefore_o we_o detest_v and_o hate_v our_o sin_n by_o which_o we_o have_v offend_v he_o it_o be_v then_o that_o we_o be_v sensible_a what_o fool_n we_o have_v be_v to_o forsake_v our_o god_n the_o fountain_n of_o live_v water_n and_o seek_v our_o happiness_n among_o his_o creature_n by_o hew_v out_o cistern_n break_a cistern_n which_o can_v hold_v no_o water_n it_o be_v then_o our_o heart_n be_v ready_a to_o break_v with_o grief_n to_o think_v that_o we_o have_v err_v from_o the_o straight_a way_n of_o truth_n and_o we_o try_v ourselves_o in_o the_o crooked_a way_n of_o wickedness_n and_o destruction_n it_o be_v then_o i_o say_v we_o firm_o purpose_v to_o begin_v a_o new_a life_n because_o we_o hate_v the_o old_a one_o and_o then_o according_a to_o the_o prophet_n we_o cast_v away_o from_o we_o all_o our_o transgression_n because_o we_o have_v now_o a_o new_a heart_n and_o a_o new_a spirit_n we_o love_v our_o god_n who_o hitherto_o we_o slight_v and_o for_o his_o sake_n we_o hate_v the_o vice_n which_o former_o we_o love_v and_o love_v the_o virtue_n which_o heretofore_o we_o hate_v by_o what_o have_v be_v already_o say_v it_o be_v easy_a to_o answer_v a_o very_a important_a question_n whether_o sorrow_n arise_v from_o the_o fear_n of_o hell_n alone_o may_v deserve_v the_o name_n of_o true_a repentance_n it_o be_v agree_v by_o all_o and_o declare_v

what_o be_v less_o do_v we_o not_o all_o of_o we_o value_v our_o body_n more_o than_o our_o clothe_n and_o our_o life_n more_o than_o meat_n and_o can_v we_o think_v that_o he_o who_o voluntary_o

we_o not_o only_o ask_v they_o but_o make_v it_o our_o chief_a business_n to_o deserve_v they_o by_o spend_v our_o whole_a life_n in_o his_o service_n behold_v the_o fowl_n of_o the_o air_n say_v he_o they_o sow_v not_o neither_o do_v they_o reap_v nor_o gather_v into_o barn_n they_o be_v idle_a and_o careless_n they_o do_v nothing_o for_o themselves_o and_o nevertheless_o our_o heavenly_a father_n
