thus_o much_o of_o the_o nature_n of_o true_a repentance_n i_o come_v now_o to_o some_o direction_n concern_v it_o i._o remember_v repentance_n though_o never_o so_o serious_a be_v not_o to_o be_v rest_v in_o as_o any_o satisfaction_n for_o sin_n or_o any_o cause_n of_o the_o pardon_n thereof_o that_o be_v the_o act_n of_o god_n free_a grace_n in_o christ_n yet_o it_o be_v of_o such_o necessity_n to_o sinner_n that_o none_o may_v expect_v pardon_n without_o it_o it_o be_v necessary_a for_o these_o three_o reason_n 1._o because_o god_n have_v command_v it_o and_o the_o gospel_n enjoin_v it_o as_o a_o condition_n of_o the_o new_a covenant_n 2._o that_o we_o may_v taste_v something_o of_o the_o bitterness_n of_o sin_n that_o so_o we_o may_v the_o more_o careful_o avoid_v it_o for_o the_o time_n to_o come_v 3._o to_o prepare_v and_o fit_v we_o to_o receive_v pardon_n to_o dispose_v we_o into_o such_o a_o frame_n as_o be_v suitable_a to_o such_o a_o blessing_n 4._o to_o make_v we_o set_v a_o high_a value_n on_o god_n pardon_v mercy_n and_o christ_n merit_n and_o blood_n how_o dear_a and_o precious_a be_v christ_n to_o a_o soul_n true_o humble_v for_o sin_n ii_o consider_v as_o there_o be_v no_o sin_n so_o small_a but_o it_o deserve_v damnation_n so_o there_o be_v no_o sin_n so_o great_a that_o it_o can_v bring_v damnation_n upon_o those_o who_o true_o repent_v it_o be_v not_o the_o fall_n into_o the_o water_n drown_v a_o man_n but_o continue_v in_o it_o not_o get_v out_o again_o no_o sin_n damn_v a_o man_n but_o as_o it_o be_v accompany_v with_o final_a impenitency_n and_o unbelief_n therefore_o the_o sin_n against_o the_o holy_a ghost_n be_v unpardonable_a because_o those_o that_o commit_v that_o sin_n do_v never_o repent_v or_o fly_v to_o christ_n for_o pardon_n iii_o look_v to_o it_o that_o thy_o repentance_n and_o sorrow_n for_o thy_o sin_n spring_n from_o evangelicall_n motive_n such_o as_o be_v before_o mention_v and_o not_o mere_o from_o shame_n or_o fear_v of_o hell_n &_o wrath_n iv_o labour_n that_o thy_o sorrow_n for_o sin_n may_v bear_v some_o proportion_n to_o the_o greatness_n of_o thy_o sin_n every_o small_a touch_n of_o sorrow_n may_v not_o be_v sufficient_a as_o sin_n be_v the_o great_a of_o evil_n so_o our_o sorrow_n for_o it_o shall_v be_v the_o great_a sorrow_n betake_v thyself_o therefore_o to_o a_o more_o solemn_a mourning_n and_o rent_v of_o heart_n for_o the_o great_a sin_n of_o thy_o life_n refuse_v to_o be_v comfort_v with_o any_o worldly_a comfort_n till_o thou_o have_v obtain_v thy_o pardon_n but_o remember_v godly_a sorrow_n be_v not_o always_o to_o be_v measure_v by_o plenty_n of_o tear_n and_o vehemency_n of_o expression_n but_o by_o the_o weight_n of_o it_o on_o the_o heart_n by_o the_o deep_a displeasure_n of_o the_o soul_n against_o sin_n there_o may_v be_v a_o deep_a rational_a sorrow_n for_o sin_n where_o there_o be_v no_o such_o outward_a passionate_a expression_n of_o it_o v._o content_v not_o thyself_o with_o a_o general_a repentance_n but_o know_v that_o it_o be_v thy_o duty_n to_o endeavour_v to_o repent_v of_o thy_o particular_a sin_n particular_o do_v not_o

commit_v by_o thou_o may_v still_o lie_v at_o thy_o door_n if_o not_o repent_v of_o review_n therefore_o thy_o life_n past_a suffer_v thy_o conscience_n to_o speak_v free_o to_o thou_o and_o to_o

or_o practice_n these_o be_v the_o conclusion_n i_o come_v now_o in_o the_o three_o place_n to_o the_o motive_n and_o encouragement_n to_o believe_v in_o christ_n 1._o consider_v for_o thy_o encouragement_n how_o able_a christ_n be_v to_o save_v thou_o there_o be_v more_o merit_n in_o the_o son_n of_o god_n to_o obtain_v our_o pardon_n than_o there_o be_v guilt_n of_o sin_n in_o we_o to_o

his_o person_n the_o satisfaction_n make_v must_v needs_o be_v infinite_a and_o so_o abundant_o sufficient_a 2._o consider_v his_o willingness_n and_o readiness_n to_o accept_v to_o mercy_n all_o poor_a humble_a sinner_n that_o come_v unto_o he_o he_o never_o reject_v any_o man_n that_o come_v unto_o he_o and_o acknowledge_v he_o for_o the_o true_a messiah_n and_o unfeigned_o give_v up_o himself_o to_o be_v save_v by_o he_o his_o willingness_n to_o save_v sinner_n can_v but_o appear_v to_o thou_o if_o thou_o consider_v these_o three_o thing_n 1._o his_o gracious_a word_n before_o he_o come_v into_o the_o world_n the_o prophet_n in_o the_o person_n of_o christ_n proclaim_v thus_o isa_n 55.1_o ho_o every_o one_o that_o thirst_v come_v you_o to_o the_o water_n etc._n etc._n 2._o his_o free_a and_o general_a invitation_n when_o he_o be_v in_o the_o world_n john_n 7.37_o in_o the_o last_o day_n that_o great_a day_n of_o the_o feast_n jesus_n stand_v and_o cry_v say_v if_o any_o one_o

consider_v that_o to_o believe_v and_o rest_n on_o christ_n crucify_v and_o to_o take_v he_o for_o our_o lord_n and_o saviour_n be_v to_o perform_v that_o act_n to_o which_o justification_n and_o remission_n of_o sin_n be_v promise_v john_n 3.16_o god_n so_o love_v the_o world_n that_o he_o give_v his_o only_a beget_v son_n that_o whosoever_o believe_v in_o he_o shall_v not_o perish_v but_o have_v everlasting_a life_n christ_n and_o all_o his_o benefit_n be_v promise_v to_o a_o believe_a soul_n will_v thou_o not_o therefore_o give_v up_o thyself_o to_o he_o 4._o consider_v it_o be_v the_o duty_n of_o all_o true_o humble_a sinner_n to_o go_v to_o christ_n and_o believe_v in_o he_o it_o be_v the_o duty_n of_o a_o sick_a man_n to_o apply_v himself_o to_o a_o skilful_a physician_n and_o as_o such_o a_o one_o must_v not_o destroy_v his_o own_o life_n by_o a_o wilful_a refuse_v the_o physic_n that_o will_v cure_v he_o so_o neither_o must_v the_o humble_a sinner_n destroy_v his_o own_o soul_n by_o refuse_v to_o close_v with_o christ_n he_o must_v not_o add_v to_o all_o the_o rest_n of_o his_o sin_n unbelief_n and_o a_o wilful_a neglect_n of_o christ_n and_o the_o salvation_n by_o he_o purchase_v and_o so_o free_o offer_v 5._o consider_v that_o the_o humble_a sinner_n by_o believe_v in_o christ_n do_v not_o only_o bring_v comfort_n and_o salvation_n to_o his_o own_o soul_n but_o also_o in_o a_o eminent_a manner_n bring_v glory_n to_o god_n when_o thou_o though_o discourage_v in_o thyself_o by_o reason_n of_o thy_o sin_n dare_v venture_v thy_o soul_n in_o the_o hand_n of_o christ_n when_o thou_o make_v thy_o way_n through_o all_o doubt_n scruple_n and_o misgiving_n of_o heart_n and_o take_v god_n bare_a word_n because_o he_o have_v say_v it_o thereby_o set_v thy_o seal_n to_o his_o truth_n and_o faithfulness_n and_o do_v resolve_v to_o throw_v thyself_o on_o his_o free_a mercy_n and_o christ_n merit_n for_o pardon_n and_o life_n to_o lay_v thy_o soul_n at_o christ_n foot_n and_o to_o clasp_v about_o he_o though_o he_o kill_v thou_o this_o be_v a_o excellent_a and_o a_o heroical_a act_n of_o faith_n which_o bring_v glory_n to_o god_n as_o abraham_n faith_n do_v of_o who_o it_o be_v say_v rom._n 4.20_o that_o he_o stagger_v not_o at_o the_o promise_n of_o god_n through_o unbelief_n but_o be_v strong_a in_o faith_n give_v glory_n to_o god_n 6._o consider_v it_o be_v the_o great_a folly_n and_o madness_n in_o the_o world_n for_o a_o humble_a sinner_n not_o to_o close_v with_o christ_n and_o commit_v his_o soul_n unto_o he_o what_o a_o irrational_a and_o unprofitable_a sin_n be_v unbelief_n if_o we_o go_v not_o to_o christ_n where_o can_v salvation_n possible_o be_v have_v as_o those_o leper_n reason_v 2_o king_n 7.3_o if_o we_o
