like_o peter_n if_o he_o see_v one_o love_n one_o virtue_n he_o make_v he_o love_v another_o virtue_n if_o he_o see_v one_o hate_n one_o vice_n he_o make_v he_o hate_v another_o vice_n if_o he_o see_v

thy_o servant_n hear_v 3._o than_o he_o take_v he_o up_o to_o the_o mount_n like_o moses_n and_o open_v his_o heart_n unto_o he_o teach_v he_o a_o way_n to_o make_v use_n of_o all_o that_o he_o see_v

have_v as_o good_a a_o blessing_n as_o judah_n but_o when_o jaacob_n bless_v he_o genesis_n the_o 35._o chapter_n &_o 22._o verse_n he_o remember_v his_o sin_n with_o bilhah_n and_o therefore_o curb_v his_o blessing_n for_o when_o he_o bless_v he_o he_o say_v 4._o thou_o shall_v not_o be_v excellent_a as_o if_o he_o shall_v say_v reuben_n thou_o shall_v have_v some_o thing_n but_o thou_o shall_v not_o have_v so_o much_o as_o thou_o shall_v have_v because_o of_o thy_o uncleanness_n with_o bilhah_n so_o moses_n shall_v have_v go_v to_o canaan_n as_o well_o as_o caleb_n but_o god_n remember_v his_o murmur_a at_o the_o water_n of_o bitterness_n and_o when_o he_o desire_v to_o go_v unto_o it_o god_n will_v not_o hear_v he_o but_o let_v he_o see_v it_o from_o a_o hill_n and_o so_o he_o die_v so_o the_o three_o servant_n shall_v have_v receive_v as_o many_o talent_n as_o his_o fellow_n but_o the_o lord_n remember_v how_o he_o hide_v the_o talon_n which_o he_o have_v and_o therefore_o will_v give_v he_o no_o more_o lest_o he_o shall_v hide_v they_o too_o so_o we_o shall_v have_v more_o understanding_n more_o judgement_n and_o more_o knowledge_n but_o god_n see_v what_o we_o do_v with_o this_o and_o therefore_o stay_v his_o hand_n lest_o we_o shall_v abuse_v any_o more_o this_o be_v saint_n johns_n meaning_n when_o he_o say_v god_n give_v grace_n for_o grace_n 16._o that_o be_v where_o he_o find_v one_o grace_n there_o he_o give_v another_o this_o be_v saint_n paul_n meaning_n rom._n 1._o where_o he_o say_v the_o righteousness_n of_o god_n be_v reveal_v from_o faith_n to_o faith_n signify_v that_o they_o which_o have_v faith_n shall_v have_v more_o faith_n therefore_o this_o be_v the_o fearful_a sign_n that_o we_o have_v no_o faith_n nor_o grace_n if_o god_n do_v not_o increase_v our_o faith_n and_o his_o grace_n in_o we_o for_o to_o he_o which_o have_v shall_v be_v give_v therefore_o if_o we_o have_v faith_n we_o shall_v have_v love_n if_o we_o have_v love_n we_o shall_v have_v knowledge_n if_o we_o have_v knowledge_n we_o shall_v have_v zeal_n if_o we_o have_v zeal_n we_o shall_v have_v holiness_n as_o he_o which_o have_v break_v one_o commandment_n be_v

when_o thou_o hate_v the_o learned_a so_o do_v the_o envious_a man_n all_o both_o good_a and_o bad_a therefore_o this_o be_v the_o worst_a sin_n because_o it_o come_v near_o the_o sin_n against_o

as_o eve_n be_v of_o her_o nakedness_n will_v they_o wear_v such_o guard_n and_o paint_v their_o face_n but_o to_o please_v see_v now_o how_o god_n do_v mock_v they_o for_o they_o be_v not_o like_v

therefore_o when_o nabuchadnezzar_n say_v for_o the_o honour_n of_o my_o majesty_n he_o shall_v have_v say_v for_o the_o honour_n of_o god_n majesty_n and_o then_o this_o have_v be_v record_v for_o

like_a man_n so_o here_o the_o wicked_a be_v say_v to_o repent_v but_o the_o wicked_a repent_v not_o like_o the_o faithful_a but_o as_o it_o be_v say_v of_o esau_n that_o he_o seek_v repentance_n so_o they_o may_v be_v rather_o say_v to_o repent_v than_o to_o repent_v in_o deed_n for_o if_o judas_n have_v repent_v like_o peter_n he_o shall_v have_v be_v forgive_v like_o peter_n but_o to_o show_v that_o he_o do_v not_o repent_v well_o when_o he_o have_v commit_v one_o sin_n he_o add_v another_o to_o it_o for_o when_o he_o have_v murder_v his_o master_n he_o murder_v himself_o too_o therefore_o if_o you_o ask_v how_o he_o repent_v i_o think_v he_o repent_v so_o as_o most_o usurer_n repent_v upon_o their_o deathbed_n there_o be_v a_o shame_n of_o sin_n &_o guilt_n of_o conscience_n &_o fear_v of_o judgement_n even_o in_o the_o reprobate_n which_o be_v a_o foretaste_n of_o hell_n which_o the_o wicked_a feel_v even_o as_o peace_n of_o conscience_n &_o joy_n in_o the_o holy_a ghost_n be_v a_o foretaste_n of_o heaven_n which_o the_o godly_a feel_v before_o they_o come_v thither_o so_o judas_n be_v displease_v with_o the_o uglines_n of_o his_o treachery_n and_o have_v a_o misshape_a sorrow_n like_o a_o bear_n whelp_n but_o without_o any_o conversion_n to_o god_n or_o hope_v of_o mercy_n or_o prayer_n for_o pardon_n or_o purpose_n to_o amend_v only_o he_o feel_v a_o shame_n and_o guilt_n and_o anguish_n in_o his_o heart_n which_o be_v rather_o a_o punishment_n of_o his_o sin_n than_o a_o repentance_n for_o his_o sin_n and_o a_o preparative_n to_o hell_n which_o he_o be_v go_v unto_o for_o hardness_n of_o heart_n and_o despair_n of_o mercy_n be_v sin_n &_o punishment_n for_o sin_n too_o but_o true_a repentance_n be_v such_o a_o sorrow_n for_o one_o sin_n as_o breed_v a_o dislike_n of_o all_o sin_n and_o move_v to_o pray_v and_o resolve_v to_o amend_v which_o fall_v upon_o none_o but_o the_o elect_a and_o therefore_o paul_n call_v the_o heart_n of_o the_o reprobate_n 5._o a_o heart_n which_o can_v repent_v but_o if_o the_o papist_n doctrine_n of_o repentance_n be_v true_a there_o be_v nothing_o want_v in_o judas_n repentance_n for_o in_o he_o may_v be_v find_v all_o the_o part_n of_o their_o repentance_n for_o we_o see_v in_o this_o reprobate_n contrition_n of_o heart_n confession_n of_o mouth_n and_o satisfaction_n of_o work_n which_o be_v all_o the_o papist_n repentance_n for_o contrition_n it_o be_v say_v he_o repent_v for_o confession_n he_o say_v i_o have_v sin_v for_o satisfaction_n he_o restore_v his_o money_n again_o and_o yet_o he_o be_v judas_n the_o son_n of_o perdition_n and_o therefore_o as_o christ_n tell_v the_o lawyer_n that_o one_o thing_n be_v want_v in_o his_o obedience_n so_o judas_n tell_v the_o papist_n that_o one_o thing_n be_v want_v in_o their_o repentance_n that_o be_v the_o conversion_n of_o a_o man_n to_o god_n &_o change_v of_o mind_n when_o a_o sinner_n renounce_v himself_o for_o shame_n of_o his_o sin_n and_o yield_v to_o righteousness_n with_o as_o great_a love_n as_o ever_o he_o love_v wickedness_n if_o judas_n have_v repent_v so_o he_o will_v rather_o have_v suffer_v pain_n like_o job_n than_o by_o unlawful_a mean_n rid_v himself_o out_o of_o pain_n like_o cain_n which_o think_v to_o prevent_v god_n judgment_n against_o he_o this_o be_v not_o a_o sign_n of_o repentance_n but_o a_o sign_n of_o despair_n therefore_o let_v every_o one_o learn_v this_o that_o so_o long_o as_o god_n mercy_n be_v great_a than_o man_n iniquity_n there_o be_v no_o cause_n to_o despair_v but_o to_o hope_v for_o why_o do_v

when_o to_o weep_v god_n have_v set_v vriah_n for_o a_o example_n when_o the_o church_n be_v quiet_a &_o his_o country_n safe_a vriah_n can_v rejoice_v aswell_o as_o other_o but_o when_o the_o
