the_o power_n and_o dominion_n of_o sin_n this_o be_v the_o character_n of_o a_o wicked_a man_n thus_o pharach_n the_o guilt_n may_v trouble_v he_o that_o god_n do_v punish_v he_o but_o the_o power_n of_o his_o hard_a heart_n never_o trouble_v he_o thus_o it_o be_v in_o wicked_a man_n there_o disquiet_a of_o sin_n never_o make_v they_o put_v upon_o effectual_a endeavour_n for_o the_o subdue_a and_o mortify_v of_o sin_n but_o godly_a man_n be_v of_o a_o different_a temper_n they_o work_v more_o to_o mortify_v sin_n then_o to_o pacify_v conscience_n more_o to_o subdue_v the_o power_n of_o

sense_n of_o sin_n i_o will_v not_o so_o caution_n treat_v on_o this_o doctrine_n as_o many_o libertine_n do_v to_o lay_v aside_o all_o manner_n of_o humiliation_n for_o sin_n because_o some_o man_n be_v cast_v down_o too_o much_o they_o will_v not_o be_v cast-down_a at_o all_o for_o sin_n use_v 1_o not_o to_o prosecute_v such_o a_o principle_n it_o be_v the_o way_n for_o to_o run_v into_o all_o manner_n of_o licentious_a liberty_n and_o to_o be_v all_o upon_o the_o extreme_n second_o labour_v to_o order_v the_o affection_n and_o passion_n of_o thy_o mind_n so_o that_o when_o soever_o you_o be_v humble_v and_o in_o sorrow_n for_o sin_n you_o take_v heed_n that_o you_o do_v not_o cast_v off_o sorrow_n for_o sin_n be_v sure_a that_o you_o have_v such_o a_o degree_n of_o humiliation_n for_o

much_o for_o the_o three_o question_n sermon_n iii_o psal_n 42._o 11._o why_o be_v thou_o cast_v down_o o_o my_o soul_n and_o why_o be_v thou_o disquiet_v within_o i_o hope_v thou_o in_o god_n for_o i_o shall_v yet_o praise_v he_o the_o health_n of_o my_o countenance_n and_o my_o god_n question_n 4_o the_o four_o question_n in_o order_n to_o be_v consider_v be_v this_o that_o see_v that_o god_n people_n may_v be_v cast_v down_o too_o much_o for_o sin_n and_o too_o much_o humble_v under_o the_o sight_n and_o sense_n of_o corruption_n then_o what_o may_v be_v the_o reason_n that_o wicked_a and_o ungodly_a man_n be_v not_o cast_v down_o at_o all_o for_o sin_n and_o see_v that_o godly_a man_n may_v be_v cast_v down_o for_o sin_n here_o too_o much_o and_o not_o cast_v off_o for_o sin_n hereafter_o and_o wicked_a man_n that_o shall_v be_v cast_v into_o hell_n for_o sin_n when_o they_o die_v yet_o be_v not_o all_o cast_v down_o for_o sin_n while_o they_o live_v what_o reason_n may_v be_v give_v for_o this_o answer_v 1_o now_o for_o the_o resolution_n of_o this_o question_n i_o shall_v lay_v down_o these_o six_o particular_n by_o way_n of_o answer_n the_o first_o reason_n why_o wicked_a man_n though_o they_o shall_v be_v cast_v off_o yet_o they_o be_v not_o at_o all_o cast_v down_o for_o sin_n it_o arise_v sin_n from_o their_o ignorance_n of_o the_o dangerous_a and_o damnable_a nature_n of_o sin_n they_o have_v a_o blind_a mind_n and_o a_o dumb_a conscience_n they_o see_v not_o such_o evil_a in_o sin_n as_o godly_a man_n do_v althouch_v wicked_a man_n know_v what_o sin_n be_v in_o general_a yet_o it_o be_v but_o a_o general_a notion_n of_o sin_n in_o the_o head_n and_o they_o have_v no_o particular_a and_o experimental_a and_o distinct_a notion_n of_o the_o evil_a and_o dangerous_a nature_n of_o sin_n upon_o their_o heart_n and_o conscience_n and_o therefore_o it_o come_v to_o pass_v that_o they_o be_v not_o cast_v down_o for_o sin_n but_o this_o general_a notion_n of_o sin_n cast_v they_o off_o and_o do_v not_o cast_v they_o down_o and_o this_o be_v the_o reason_n that_o they_o do_v not_o see_v sin_n to_o become_v exceed_o sinful_a and_o they_o do_v not_o take_v notice_n of_o the_o evil_a of_o sin_n the_o damn_v nature_n of_o sin_n according_a to_o that_o expression_n in_o jer._n 2._o 23._o how_o can_v thou_o say_v i_o be_o not_o pollute_v i_o have_v not_o go_v after_o baalim_fw-la see_v thy_o way_n in_o the_o valley_n 23._o know_v what_o thou_o have_v do_v thou_o be_v a_o swift_a dromedary_n traverse_v her_o way_n here_o the_o jew_n they_o be_v great_a in_o sin_n and_o do_v abound_v in_o wickedness_n yet_o they_o be_v ready_a to_o say_v that_o they_o be_v not_o sinful_a at_o least_o they_o do_v not_o know_v that_o they_o be_v so_o it_o be_v for_o want_v of_o the_o knowledge_n of_o their_o way_n &_o the_o sinfulness_n of_o their_o do_n that_o they_o be_v not_o cast_v down_o for_o sin_n shall_v a_o man_n meet_v a_o lion_n in_o the_o wilderness_n he_o will_v be_v afraid_a of_o that_o and_o the_o reason_n be_v because_o he_o know_v that_o the_o lion_n be_v hurtful_a but_o if_o a_o man_n see_v a_o lion_n paint_v on_o the_o wall_n he_o be_v not_o afraid_a of_o that_o because_o he_o know_v that_o can_v hurt_v he_o so_o when_o man_n shall_v look_v upon_o sin_n but_o not_o look_v upon_o it_o as_o a_o lion_n in_o the_o wilderness_n that_o will_v certain_o destroy_v bewail_v he_o if_o he_o avoid_v it_o not_o but_o to_o look_v upon_o sin_n as_o a_o lion_n paint_v on_o the_o wall_n that_o have_v no_o power_n to_o do_v they_o hurt_v they_o see_v sin_n but_o it_o be_v general_o and_o notional_o and_o not_o particular_o and_o experimental_o the_o second_o reason_n be_v this_o it_o arise_v from_o a_o principle_n of_o presumption_n of_o pardon_v grace_n and_o mercy_n when_o wicked_a man_n hear_v the_o thundering_n and_o curse_n of_o the_o law_n denounce_v against_o sin_n and_o sinner_n deliver_v by_o the_o minister_n of_o the_o gospel_n to_o awaken_v they_o from_o the_o sleep_n of_o sin_n and_o security_n when_o they_o hear_v of_o the_o severity_n of_o god_n justice_n and_o that_o he_o be_v a_o sin-revenging_a god_n and_o that_o he_o will_v by_o no_o mean_n clear_v the_o guilty_a but_o will_v render_v to_o every_o one_o according_a to_o his_o way_n and_o work_n now_o what_o do_v a_o wicked_a man_n do_v in_o this_o case_n do_v this_o awaken_v his_o conscience_n to_o see_v the_o evil_n of_o sin_n no_z but_o he_o do_v the_o quite_o contrary_a he_o then_o from_o a_o principle_n of_o presumption_n of_o pardon_v grace_n and_o mercy_n in_o god_n bless_v himself_o in_o his_o own_o way_n and_o he_o say_v i_o shall_v have_v peace_n though_o i_o walk_v after_o the_o imagination_n of_o my_o own_o evil_a heart_n as_o if_o they_o 19_o shall_v say_v let_v sin_n trouble_v they_o that_o will_v let_v it_o cast_v down_o they_o that_o will_v be_v cast_v down_o it_o shall_v never_o cast_v down_o i_o it_o shall_v never_o trouble_v i_o what_o shall_v sin_n trouble_v my_o conscience_n '_o or_o disquiet_v my_o peace_n for_o or_o why_o shall_v i_o mourn_v and_o trouble_v myself_o about_o that_o which_o i_o need_v not_o that_o which_o other_o seem_v to_o break_v their_o heart_n for_o it_o shall_v never_o break_v my_o sleep_n for_o i_o hope_v that_o it_o shall_v never_o damn_v my_o soul_n btt_o i_o hope_v though_o i_o do_v commit_v sin_n yet_o i_o hope_v god_n will_v pardon_v sin_n and_o though_o i_o be_o sinful_a yet_o i_o know_v god_n be_v merciful_a and_o thus_o they_o do_v from_o a_o principle_n of_o presumption_n go_v on_o in_o a_o way_n of_o sin_n without_o any_o trouble_n for_o it_o or_o cast_v down_o under_o the_o sight_n and_o sense_n of_o sin_n at_o all_o but_o than_o three_o the_o three_o reason_n why_o wicked_a man_n be_v not_o cast_v down_o for_o sin_n at_o all_o it_o arise_v from_o that_o obdurateness_n from_o that_o hardness_n that_o be_v in_o their_o heart_n and_o from_o that_o searedness_n in_o their_o conscience_n there_o be_v a_o generation_n of_o man_n that_o it_o may_v be_v say_v of_o they_o as_o concern_v sin_n they_o be_v past_a feeling_n according_a to_o that_o expression_n of_o the_o apostle_n eph._n 4._o 19_o who_o be_v past_a feeling_n have_v give_v themselves_o over_o unto_o lasciviousness_n 19_o to_o work_v all_o uncleanness_n with_o greediness_n and_o as_o st._n paul_n say_v 1_o timothy_n 4_o 2._o they_o have_v their_o conscience_n sear_v with_o a_o hot_a iron_n when_o man_n have_v so_o accustom_v themselves_o to_o sin_n that_o sin_n shall_v harden_v the_o heart_n and_o sear_v the_o conscience_n 2._o and_o then_o no_o marvel_n if_o they_o be_v not_o at_o all_o cast_v down_o for_o sin_n then_o four_o wicked_a man_n they_o be_v not_o cast_v down_o for_o sin_n at_o all_o it_o arise_v from_o this_o because_o that_o they_o do_v stifle_v the_o rebuke_n of_o conscience_n when_o it_o do_v rebuke_v they_o and_o check_v
