15._o that_o only_o one_o sin_n be_v declare_v to_o be_v irremissible_a the_o sin_n against_o the_o holy_a ghost_n the_o sin_n unto_o death_n as_o s._n john_n call_v it_o for_o which_o we_o be_v not_o bind_v to_o pray_v for_o all_o other_o we_o be_v and_o certain_a it_o be_v no_o man_n commit_v a_o sin_n against_o the_o holy_a ghost_n if_o he_o be_v afraid_a he_o have_v and_o desire_n that_o he_o have_v not_o for_o such_o penitential_a passion_n be_v against_o the_o definition_n of_o that_o sin_n 16._o that_o all_o the_o sermon_n in_o the_o scripture_n write_v to_o christian_n &_o disciple_n of_o jesus_n exhort_v man_n to_o repentance_n to_o be_v afflict_v to_o mourn_v and_o to_o weep_v to_o confession_n of_o sin_n be_v sure_a testimony_n of_o god_n purpose_n and_o desire_v to_o forgive_v we_o even_o when_o we_o fall_v after_o baptism_n and_o if_o our_o fall_n after_o baptism_n be_v irrecoverable_a than_o all_o preach_v be_v in_o vain_a and_o our_o faith_n be_v also_o vain_a and_o we_o can_v not_o with_o comfort_n rehearse_v the_o creed_n in_o which_o as_o soon_o as_o ever_o we_o profess_v jesus_n to_o have_v die_v for_o our_o sin_n we_o also_o be_v condemn_v by_o our_o own_o conscience_n of_o a_o sin_n that_o shall_v not_o be_v forgive_v and_o then_o all_o exhortation_n and_o comfort_n and_o fast_n and_o discipline_n be_v useless_a and_o too_o late_o if_o they_o be_v not_o give_v we_o before_o we_o can_v understand_v they_o for_o most_o common_o as_o soon_o as_o we_o can_v we_o enter_v into_o the_o region_n of_o sin_n for_o we_o commit_v evil_a action_n before_o we_o understand_v and_o together_o with_o our_o understanding_n they_o begin_v to_o be_v impute_v 17._o that_o if_o it_o can_v be_v otherwise_o infant_n be_v very_o ill_o provide_v for_o in_o the_o church_n who_o be_v baptize_v when_o they_o have_v no_o stain_n upon_o their_o brow_n but_o the_o misery_n they_o contract_v from_o adam_n and_o they_o be_v leave_v to_o be_v angel_n for_o ever_o after_o and_o live_v innocent_o in_o the_o midst_n of_o their_o ignorances_n and_o weakness_n and_o temptation_n and_o the_o heat_n and_o folly_n of_o youth_n or_o else_o to_o perish_v in_o a_o eternal_a ruin_n we_o can_v think_v or_o speak_v good_a thing_n of_o god_n if_o we_o entertain_v such_o evil_a suspicion_n of_o the_o mercy_n of_o the_o father_n of_o our_o lord_n jesus_n 18._o that_o the_o longsufferance_n and_o patience_n of_o god_n be_v indeed_o wonderful_a but_o therefore_o it_o leave_v we_o in_o certainty_n of_o pardon_n so_o long_o as_o there_o be_v possibility_n to_o return_v if_o we_o reduce_v ●he_v power_n to_o act_v 19_o that_o god_n call_v upon_o we_o to_o forgive_v our_o brother_n seventy_o time_n seven_o time_n and_o yet_o all_o that_o be_v but_o like_o the_o forgive_n a_o hundred_o penny_n for_o his_o sake_n who_o forgive_v we_o ten_o thousand_o talent_n for_o so_o the_o lord_n profess_v that_o he_o have_v do_v to_o he_o that_o be_v his_o servant_n and_o his_o domestic_a 20._o that_o if_o we_o can_v forgive_v a_o hundred_o thousand_o time_n it_o be_v certain_a god_n will_v do_v so_o to_o we_o our_o bless_a lord_n have_v command_v we_o to_o pray_v for_o pardon_n as_o we_o pardon_v our_o offend_a and_o penitent_a brother_n 21._o that_o even_o in_o the_o case_n of_o very_o great_a sin_n and_o great_a judgement_n inflict_v upon_o the_o sinner_n wise_a and_o good_a man_n and_o precedent_n of_o religion_n have_v declare_v their_o sense_n to_o be_v that_o god_n spend_v all_o his_o anger_n and_o make_v it_o expire_v in_o that_o temporal_a misery_n and_o so_o it_o be_v suppose_v to_o have_v be_v do_v in_o the_o case_n of_o ananias_n but_o that_o the_o hope_n of_o any_o penitent_a man_n may_v not_o rely_v upon_o any_o uncertainty_n we_o find_v in_o holy_a scripture_n that_o those_o christian_n who_o have_v for_o their_o scandalous_a crime_n deserve_v to_o be_v give_v over_o to_o satan_n to_o be_v buffet_v yet_o have_v hope_n to_o be_v save_v in_o the_o day_n of_o the_o lord_n 22._o that_o god_n glory_n in_o the_o title_n of_o mercy_n and_o forgiveness_n and_o will_v not_o have_v his_o appellative_n so_o finite_a and_o limit_v as_o to_o expire_v in_o one_o act_n or_o in_o a_o seldom_o pardon_v 23._o that_o man_n condition_n be_v desperate_a and_o like_a that_o of_o the_o fall_a angel_n equal_o desperate_a but_o unequal_o oppress_v consider_v our_o infinite_a weakness_n and_o ignorances_n in_o respect_n of_o their_o excellent_a understanding_n and_o perfect_a choice_n if_o he_o can_v be_v admit_v to_o no_o repentance_n after_o his_o infant_n baptism_n and_o if_o he_o may_v be_v admit_v to_o one_o there_o be_v nothing_o in_o the_o covenant_n of_o the_o gospel_n but_o he_o may_v also_o to_o a_o second_o and_o so_o for_o ever_o as_o long_o as_o he_o can_v repent_v and_o return_v and_o live_v to_o god_n in_o a_o timely_a religion_n 24._o that_o every_o man_n be_v a_o sinner_n 3.2_o in_o many_o thing_n we_o offend_v all_o and_o if_o we_o say_v we_o have_v no_o sin_n we_o deceive_v ourselves_o 1.8_o and_o therefore_o either_o all_o must_v perish_v or_o else_o there_o be_v mercy_n for_o all_o and_o so_o there_o be_v upon_o this_o very_a stock_n 11.32_o because_o christ_n die_v for_o sinner_n and_o god_n have_v comprehend_v all_o under_o sin_n that_o he_o may_v have_v mercy_n upon_o all_o 25._o that_o if_o ever_o god_n send_v temporal_a punishment_n into_o the_o world_n with_o purpose_n of_o amendment_n and_o if_o they_o be_v not_o all_o of_o they_o certain_a consignation_n to_o hell_n and_o unless_o every_o man_n that_o break_v his_o leg_n or_o in_o punishment_n lose_v a_o child_n or_o wife_n be_v certain_o damn_v it_o be_v certain_a that_o god_n in_o these_o case_n be_v angry_a and_o love_a chastise_n the_o sin_n to_o amend_v the_o person_n and_o smite_v that_o he_o may_v cure_v and_o judge_n that_o he_o may_v absolve_v 26._o that_o he_o that_o will_v not_o quench_v the_o smoke_a flax_n nor_o break_v the_o bruise_a reed_n will_v not_o tie_v we_o to_o perfection_n and_o the_o law_n and_o measure_n of_o heaven_n upon_o earth_n and_o if_o in_o every_o period_n of_o our_o repentance_n he_o be_v please_v with_o our_o duty_n and_o the_o voice_n of_o our_o heart_n and_o the_o hand_n of_o our_o desire_n he_o have_v tell_v we_o plain_o that_o he_o will_v not_o only_o pardon_v all_o the_o sin_n of_o the_o day_n of_o our_o folly_n but_o the_o return_n and_o surprise_v of_o sin_n in_o the_o day_n of_o repentance_n if_o we_o give_v no_o way_n and_o allow_v no_o affection_n and_o give_v no_o peace_n to_o any_o thing_n that_o be_v god_n enemy_n all_o the_o past_a sin_n and_o all_o the_o seldom_o return_v and_o ever_o repent_v evil_n being_n put_v upon_o the_o account_n of_o the_o crosse._n a_o exercise_n against_o despair_n in_o the_o day_n of_o our_o death_n to_o which_o may_v be_v add_v this_o short_a exercise_n to_o be_v use_v for_o the_o cure_v the_o temptation_n to_o direct_v despair_n in_o case_n that_o the_o hope_n and_o faith_n of_o good_a man_n be_v assault_v in_o the_o day_n of_o their_o calamity_n i_o consider_v that_o the_o ground_n of_o my_o trouble_n be_v my_o sin_n and_o if_o it_o be_v not_o for_o that_o i_o shall_v not_o need_v to_o be_v trouble_v but_o the_o help_n that_o all_o the_o world_n look_v for_o be_v such_o as_o suppose_v a_o man_n to_o be_v a_o sinner_n *_o indeed_o if_o from_o myself_o i_o be_v to_o derive_v my_o title_n to_o heaven_n than_o my_o sin_n be_v a_o just_a argument_n of_o despair_n but_o now_o that_o they_o bring_v i_o to_o christ_n that_o they_o drive_v i_o to_o a_o appeal_n to_o god_n mercy_n and_o to_o take_v sanctuary_n in_o the_o cross_n they_o ought_v not_o they_o can_v infer_v a_o just_a cause_n of_o despair_n *_o ay_o be_o sure_a it_o be_v a_o strange_a thing_n that_o god_n shall_v take_v upon_o he_o hand_n and_o foot_n and_o those_o hand_n and_o foot_n shall_v be_v nail_v upon_o a_o cross_n then_o that_o a_o man_n shall_v be_v partaker_n of_o the_o felicity_n of_o pardon_n and_o life_n eternal_a and_o it_o be_v strange_a yet_o that_o god_n shall_v do_v so_o much_o for_o man_n and_o that_o a_o man_n that_o desire_v it_o that_o labour_n for_o it_o that_o be_v in_o life_n and_o possibility_n of_o work_v his_o salvation_n shall_v inevitable_o miss_v that_o end_n for_o which_o that_o god_n suffer_v so_o much_o for_o what_o be_v the_o meaning_n and_o what_o be_v the_o extent_n and_o what_o be_v the_o signification_n
of_o the_o divine_a mercy_n in_o pardon_v sinner_n if_o it_o be_v think_v a_o great_a matter_n that_o i_o be_o charge_v with_o original_a sin_n i_o confess_v i_o feel_v the_o weight_n of_o it_o in_o load_n of_o temporal_a infelicity_n and_o proclivity_n to_o sin_n but_o i_o fear_v not_o the_o guilt_n of_o it_o since_o i_o be_o baptize_v and_o it_o can_v do_v honour_n to_o the_o reputation_n of_o god_n mercy_n that_o it_o shall_v be_v all_o spend_v in_o remission_n of_o what_o i_o never_o choose_v never_o act_v never_o know_v of_o can_v not_o help_v concern_v which_o i_o receive_v no_o commandment_n no_o prohibition_n but_o bless_a be_v god_n it_o be_v order_v in_o just_a measure_n that_o that_o original_a evil_n which_o i_o contract_v without_o my_o will_n shall_v be_v take_v away_o without_o my_o knowledge_n and_o what_o i_o suffer_v before_o i_o have_v a_o be_v be_v cleanse_v before_o i_o have_v a_o useful_a understanding_n but_o i_o be_o teach_v to_o believe_v god_n mercy_n to_o be_v infinite_a not_o only_o in_o himself_o but_o to_o we_o for_o mercy_n be_v a_o relative_a term_n and_o we_o be_v its_o correspondent_a of_o all_o the_o creature_n which_o god_n make_v we_o only_o in_o a_o proper_a sense_n be_v the_o subject_n of_o mercy_n and_o remission_n angel_n have_v more_o of_o god_n bounty_n than_o we_o have_v but_o not_o so_o much_o of_o his_o mercy_n and_o beast_n have_v little_a ray_n of_o his_o kindness_n and_o effect_n of_o his_o wisdom_n and_o graciousnesse_n in_o petty_a donative_n but_o nothing_o of_o mercy_n for_o they_o have_v no_o law_n and_o therefore_o no_o sin_n and_o need_v no_o mercy_n nor_o be_v capable_a of_o any_o since_o therefore_o man_n alone_o be_v the_o correlative_a or_o proper_a object_n and_o vessel_n of_o reception_n of_o a_o infinite_a mercy_n and_o that_o mercy_n be_v in_o give_v and_o forgive_n i_o have_v reason_n to_o hope_v that_o he_o will_v so_o forgive_v i_o that_o my_o sin_n shall_v not_o hinder_v i_o of_o heaven_n or_o because_o it_o be_v a_o gift_n i_o may_v also_o upon_o the_o stock_n of_o the_o same_o infinite_a mercy_n hope_v he_o will_v give_v heaven_n to_o i_o and_o if_o i_o have_v it_o either_o upon_o the_o title_n of_o give_v or_o forgive_a it_o be_v alike_o to_o i_o and_o will_v alike_o magnify_v the_o glory_n of_o the_o divine_a mercy_n 6.23_o and_o because_o eternal_a life_n be_v the_o gift_n of_o god_n i_o have_v less_o reason_n to_o despair_v for_o if_o my_o sin_n be_v few_o and_o my_o disproportion_n towards_o such_o a_o glory_n be_v less_o and_o my_o evenness_n more_o yet_o it_o be_v still_o a_o gift_n and_o i_o can_v not_o receive_v it_o but_o as_o a_o free_a and_o a_o gracious_a donative_n and_o so_o i_o may_v still_o god_n can_v still_o give_v it_o i_o and_o it_o be_v not_o a_o impossible_a expectation_n to_o wait_v and_o look_v for_o such_o a_o gift_n at_o the_o hand_n of_o the_o god_n of_o mercy_n the_o best_a man_n deserve_v it_o not_o and_o i_o who_o be_o the_o worst_a may_v have_v it_o give_v i_o *_o and_o i_o consider_v that_o god_n have_v set_v no_o measure_n of_o his_o mercy_n but_o that_o we_o be_v within_o the_o covenant_n that_o be_v repent_v person_n endeavour_v to_o serve_v he_o with_o a_o honest_a single_a heart_n and_o that_o within_o this_o covenant_n there_o be_v a_o very_a great_a latitude_n and_o variety_n of_o person_n and_o degree_n and_o capacity_n and_o therefore_o that_o it_o can_v stand_v with_o the_o proportion_n of_o so_o infinite_a a_o mercy_n that_o obedience_n be_v exact_v to_o such_o a_o point_n which_o he_o never_o express_v unless_o it_o shall_v be_v the_o least_o and_o that_o to_o which_o all_o capacity_n though_o otherwise_o unequal_a be_v fit_v and_o sufficient_o enable_v *_o but_o however_o i_o find_v that_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n teach_v the_o writer_n of_o the_o new_a testament_n to_o apply_v to_o we_o all_o in_o general_n and_o to_o every_o single_a person_n in_o particular_a some_o gracious_a word_n which_o god_n in_o the_o old_a testament_n speak_v to_o one_o man_n upon_o a_o special_a occasion_n in_o a_o single_a and_o temporal_a instance_n such_o be_v the_o word_n which_o god_n speak_v to_o joshuah_n i_o will_v never_o fail_v thou_o nor_o forsake_v thou_o and_o upon_o the_o stock_n of_o that_o promise_n s._n paul_n forbid_v covetousness_n 13.5_o and_o persuade_v contentedness_n because_o those_o word_n be_v speak_v by_o god_n to_o joshuah_n in_o another_o case_n if_o the_o gracious_a word_n of_o god_n have_v so_o great_a extension_n of_o part_n and_o intention_n of_o kind_a purpose_n than_o how_o many_o comfort_n have_v we_o upon_o the_o stock_n of_o all_o the_o excellent_a word_n which_o be_v speak_v in_o the_o prophet_n and_o in_o the_o psalm_n and_o i_o will_v never_o more_o
