strength_n of_o tentation_n be_v upon_o the_o saint_n they_o partake_v very_o much_o of_o the_o concealment_n of_o secret_a sin_n for_o the_o same_o lust_n and_o corruption_n that_o prevail_v upon_o the_o will_n of_o a_o saint_n to_o do_v so_o great_a a_o sin_n against_o which_o his_o will_n be_v determinate_o bend_v and_o resolve_v cast_v also_o very_o common_o a_o mist_n on_o the_o

the_o spirit_n and_o therefore_o a_o saint_n after_o a_o great_a sin_n when_o he_o come_v true_o to_o discern_v it_o be_v like_o a_o man_n awake_v awake_v i_o say_v out_o of_o a_o slumber_n of_o the_o

manage_v &_o the_o wrath_n of_o god_n come_v upon_o he_o because_o he_o serve_v that_o god_n in_o a_o ill_a manner_n who_o no_o doubt_n he_o love_v with_o a_o good_a zeal_n and_o affection_n now_o if_o vzzah_n be_v save_v by_o this_o doctrine_n he_o must_v actual_o repent_v of_o this_o sin_n which_o be_v so_o mortal_a to_o he_o but_o first_o we_o read_v of_o no_o such_o actual_a repentance_n and_o next_o the_o suddenness_n of_o the_o stroke_n may_v seem_v to_o prevent_v it_o but_o on_o the_o other_o side_n if_o he_o do_v actual_o repent_v then_o may_v any_o saint_n else_o be_v think_v actual_o to_o repent_v and_o so_o this_o question_n be_v again_o needless_a as_o before_o be_v prove_v to_o be_v absurd_a and_o sure_o he_o which_o give_v jezabel_n that_o sedu●…d_v the_o servant_n

therefore_o nothing_o can_v hinder_v he_o but_o that_o he_o may_v prevent_v the_o time_n which_o he_o have_v in_o one_o hand_n with_o the_o grace_n which_o he_o have_v in_o a_o other_o yea_o as_o he_o be_v the_o lord_n both_o of_o life_n and_o grace_n so_o be_v he_o of_o tentation_n therefore_o as_o he_o can_v command_v time_n to_o stay_v and_o grace_n to_o hasten_v so_o also_o can_v he_o command_v

and_o i_o think_v that_o arminian_o can_v hardly_o disprove_v it_o if_o a_o saint_n have_v in_o he_o the_o grace_n of_o repentance_n which_o will_v bring_v forth_o the_o act_n of_o repentance_n if_o it_o have_v time_n it_o be_v somewhat_o strange_a that_o a_o saint_n shall_v be_v damn_v not_o for_o want_v of_o grace_n but_o only_o for_o want_n of_o time_n now_o the_o remain_a grace_n of_o repentance_n after_o the_o fall_n of_o saint_n appear_v before_o in_o david_n hezekiah_n and_o peter_n who_o ready_o repent_v upon_o their_o summons_n and_o even_o bertius_fw-la himself_o confess_v
