he_o that_o do_v not_o know_v his_o master_n will_v be_v beat_v when_o the_o thing_n commit_v be_v worthy_a of_o stripe_n though_o he_o do_v not_o know_v so_o much_o because_o the_o thing_n deserve_v

that_o if_o he_o have_v know_v it_o he_o will_v not_o have_v do_v it_o and_o that_o as_o soon_o as_o he_o do_v know_v it_o he_o will_v or_o may_v repent_v of_o it_o so_o 1_o cor._n 2._o 8._o if_o

they_o they_o will_v have_v repent_v but_o now_o when_o a_o man_n know_v it_o afore_o and_o also_o consider_v it_o in_o the_o very_o commit_v it_o and_o yet_o do_v it_o than_o there_o be_v no_o room_n for_o such_o a_o supposition_n and_o less_o hope_n for_o what_o be_v it_o that_o shall_v reduce_v this_o man_n to_o repentance_n be_v it_o not_o his_o knowledge_n now_o if_o that_o have_v no_o power_n to_o keep_v he_o from_o his_o sin_n than_o it_o may_v be_v judge_v that_o it_o will_v not_o be_v of_o force_n to_o bring_v he_o to_o repentance_n for_o it_o for_o by_o sin_v the_o heart_n be_v make_v more_o hard_a and_o the_o knowledge_n and_o the_o authority_n of_o it_o weaken_a and_o lessen_v as_o all_o power_n be_v when_o contemn_v and_o resist_v rom._n 1._o 21._o their_o foolish_a heart_n become_v dark_a aristotle_n himself_o have_v a_o touch_n of_o this_o notion_n in_o the_o three_o of_o his_o ethic_n that_o if_o a_o man_n sin_n out_o of_o ignorance_n when_o he_o know_v it_o he_o repent_v of_o it_o if_o out_o of_o passion_n when_o the_o passion_n be_v over_o he_o be_v sorry_a for_o what_o he_o have_v do_v but_o when_o a_o man_n sin_n deliberate_o and_o out_o of_o knowledge_n it_o be_v a_o sign_n he_o be_v fix_v and_o set_v in_o mischief_n and_o therefore_o it_o be_v count_v wickedness_n and_o malice_n and_o hence_o it_o be_v that_o those_o that_o have_v be_v enlighten_v with_o the_o high_a kind_n of_o light_n but_o that_o of_o save_a grace_n heb._n 6._o 4_o 5._o and_o heb._n 10._o if_o they_o sin_v wilful_o after_o such_o a_o knowledge_n of_o the_o truth_n god_n look_v on_o they_o as_o those_o that_o will_v never_o repent_v and_o therefore_o likewise_o the_o school_n give_v this_o as_o the_o reason_n why_o the_o devil_n sin_n obstinate_o and_o can_v repent_v because_o of_o their_o full_a knowledge_n they_o sin_n with_o they_o know_v all_o in_o the_o full_a latitude_n that_o it_o may_v be_v know_v and_o yet_o go_v on_o second_o the_o vast_a difference_n that_o in_o god_n account_n be_v put_v between_o sin_n of_o knowledge_n other_o and_o of_o ignorance_n will_v appear_v by_o the_o different_a respect_n and_o regard_n that_o god_n have_v to_o they_o in_o the_o repentance_n he_o require_v and_o accept_v for_o they_o and_o that_o both_o in_o the_o act_n of_o repentance_n and_o also_o in_o the_o state_n of_o grace_n and_o repentance_n upon_o which_o god_n accept_v a_o man_n or_o for_o want_n of_o which_o he_o reject_v he_o first_o when_o a_o man_n come_v to_o perform_v the_o act_n of_o repentance_n and_o to_o humble_v himself_o for_o sin_n and_o to_o turn_v from_o it_o god_n exact_v not_o that_o sin_n of_o ignorance_n shall_v particular_o be_v repent_v of_o but_o if_o they_o be_v repent_v of_o but_o in_o the_o general_n &_o in_o the_o lump_n

in_o a_o sin_n he_o do_v not_o know_v to_o be_v a_o sin_n and_o yet_o be_v in_o the_o state_n of_o grace_n as_o the_o patriarch_n in_o poligamie_n and_o in_o divorce_v their_o wife_n but_o to_o lie_v in_o a_o sin_n of_o knowledge_n be_v not_o compatible_a with_o grace_n but_o unless_o a_o man_n maintain_v a_o constant_a fight_n against_o it_o hate_v it_o confess_v it_o forsake_v it_o he_o can_v have_v mercy_n this_o can_v stand_v with_o uprightness_n of_o heart_n a_o friend_n may_v keep_v

correspondency_n with_o one_o he_o suspect_v not_o to_o be_v a_o enemy_n unto_o his_o friend_n and_o be_v true_a to_o his_o friendship_n notwithstanding_o but_o if_o he_o know_v he_o to_o be_v a_o
