repentance_n that_o crucisy_n this_o sin_n but_o nature_n but_o his_o game_n and_o intemperance_n these_o he_o will_v keep_v a_o true_a convert_n make_v no_o distinction_n of_o pleasant_a or_o

there_o be_v another_o reason_n that_o thereby_o he_o may_v draw_v they_o to_o a_o acknowledgement_n of_o the_o great_a goodness_n of_o god_n that_o he_o be_v able_a to_o pardon_v all_o take_v away_o all_o iniquity_n all_o sum_v up_o together_o by_o say_v all_o they_o acknowledge_v that_o god_n can_v and_o will_v remit_v all_o if_o they_o repent_v of_o all_o and_o leave_v all_o note_v that_o there_o be_v no_o burden_n of_o sin_n so_o great_a but_o god_n can_v pardon_v it_o and_o take_v it_o away_o there_o be_v a_o great_a all_o of_o god_n mercy_n then_o of_o our_o sin_n and_o of_o christ_n merit_n then_o of_o our_o sin_n for_o all_o the_o sin_n of_o the_o world_n put_v together_o they_o be_v finite_a he_o be_v a_o infinite_a majesty_n but_o in_o themselves_o god_n can_v number_v they_o for_o they_o be_v write_v in_o his_o book_n the_o alsufficiency_n of_o that_o merit_n and_o sacrifice_n that_o christ_n lay_v down_o and_o the_o price_n of_o that_o inestimable_a blood_n that_o be_v infinite_a there_o can_v be_v no_o number_n make_v of_o the_o virtue_n of_o those_o drop_n of_o blood_n which_o christ_n shed_v there_o can_v be_v no_o number_n make_v of_o that_o mercy_n the_o drop_n of_o which_o god_n comprehend_v we_o with_o therefore_o mercy_n and_o merit_n be_v great_a than_o sin_n if_o we_o can_v confess_v all_o god_n can_v pardon_v all_o look_v as_o in_o nature_n the_o philosopher_n observe_v that_o infinite_a be_v of_o that_o extent_n that_o no_o finite_a can_v be_v proportionable_a as_o a_o infinite_a number_n though_o there_o can_v be_v none_o because_o another_o number_n may_v be_v add_v but_o a_o infinite_a number_n ten_o thousand_o million_o it_o be_v as_o far_o off_o of_o infinite_a as_o ten_o because_o there_o be_v no_o proportion_n because_o it_o may_v be_v multiply_v and_o multiply_v so_o though_o sin_n be_v many_o as_o million_o it_o have_v no_o proportion_n to_o the_o merit_n of_o christ_n why_o because_o they_o be_v infinite_a that_o blood_n be_v of_o excellent_a virtue_n it_o can_v wash_v white_a because_o it_o be_v infinite_a it_o have_v sufficiency_n to_o pardon_v all_o sin_n and_o do_v it_o easy_o so_o it_o be_v as_o if_o he_o have_v say_v o_o lord_n we_o be_v ready_a to_o confess_v all_o take_v all_o away_o what_o we_o can_v we_o alleadg_n against_o our_o self_n we_o beseech_v thou_o show_v mercy_n we_o know_v thy_o mercy_n be_v great_a than_o our_o sin_n as_o we_o confess_v all_o pardon_v thou_o all_o the_o scripture_n set_v it_o out_o by_o a_o all_o too_o the_o blood_n of_o jesus_n christ_n cleanse_v we_o from_o all_o sin_n god_n have_v make_v his_o promise_n so_o at_o what_o time_n soever_o a_o sinner_n repent_v i_o will_v blot_v out_o all_o his_o wickedness_n that_o thereby_o they_o may_v be_v draw_v to_o acknowledge_v his_o gooodnesse_n and_o mercy_n to_o exclude_v their_o sin_n therefore_o the_o prophet_n express_v it_o by_o this_o all_o their_o sin_n be_v innumerable_a but_o
