the_o holy_a ghost_n good_a and_o bad_a believer_n and_o unbeliever_n speak_v often_o the_o same_o good_a word_n but_o they_o can_v speak_v the_o same_o thing_n nor_o from_o the_o same_o principle_n nature_n speak_v in_o the_o one_o in_o the_o other_o grace_n the_o one_o may_v say_v very_o passionate_o he_o have_v sin_v and_o sometime_o almost_o drown_v his_o word_n in_o tear_n but_o the_o other_o say_v repent_o i_o have_v sin_v and_o flood_n his_o heart_n with_o godly_a sorrow_n three_o to_o clear_v it_o yet_o more_o the_o general_a confession_n of_o the_o saint_n have_v these_o four_o thing_n in_o they_o first_o beside_o the_o fact_n they_o acknowledge_v the_o blot_n that_o there_o be_v much_o defilement_n and_o blackness_n in_o every_o sin_n that_o it_o be_v the_o only_a pollution_n and_o abasement_n of_o the_o creature_n second_o they_o confess_v the_o fault_n that_o they_o have_v do_v very_o ill_o in_o what_o they_o have_v do_v and_o very_o foolish_o even_o like_o a_o beast_n that_o have_v no_o understanding_n three_o they_o confess_v a_o guilt_n contract_v by_o what_o they_o have_v do_v that_o their_o person_n may_v be_v lay_v liable_a to_o the_o sentence_n of_o the_o law_n for_o every_o such_o act_n if_o christ_n have_v not_o take_v away_o the_o curse_n and_o condemn_a power_n of_o it_o confession_n of_o sin_n in_o the_o strict_a nature_n of_o it_o put_v we_o into_o the_o hand_n of_o justice_n though_o through_o the_o grace_n of_o the_o new_a covenant_n it_o put_v we_o into_o the_o hand_n of_o mercy_n four_o hence_o the_o saint_n confess_v all_o the_o punishment_n threaten_v in_o the_o book_n of_o god_n to_o be_v due_a to_o sin_n and_o be_v ready_a to_o acquit_v god_n whatsoever_o he_o have_v award_v against_o sinner_n o_o lord_n righteousness_n belong_v unto_o thou_o but_o unto_o we_o confusion_n of_o face_n as_o at_o this_o day_n to_o the_o man_n of_o judah_n and_o to_o the_o inhabitant_n of_o jerusalem_n dan._n 9_o 7._o and_o as_o in_o this_o confession_n for_o the_o matter_n they_o acknowledge_v the_o blot_n the_o fault_n the_o guilt_n the_o punishment_n of_o sin_n so_o for_o the_o manner_n which_o set_v the_o difference_n yet_o wide_o between_o the_o general_a confession_n of_o wicked_a and_o godly_a man_n they_o confess_v first_n free_o acknowledgement_n of_o sin_n be_v not_o extort_a by_o the_o pain_n and_o trouble_v which_o seize_v on_o they_o as_o in_o pharaoh_n saul_n and_o judas_n but_o when_o god_n give_v they_o best_o day_n they_o be_v ready_a to_o speak_v worst_a of_o themselves_o and_o when_o they_o receive_v most_o mercy_n from_o god_n than_o god_n receive_v most_o and_o deep_a acknowledgement_n of_o sin_n from_o they_o they_o be_v never_o so_o humble_v in_o the_o sight_n of_o sin_n as_o when_o they_o be_v most_o exalt_v in_o see_v the_o salvation_n of_o the_o lord_n the_o goodness_n of_o god_n lead_v they_o to_o this_o repentance_n they_o be_v not_o drive_v to_o it_o by_o wrath_n and_o thunder_n second_o they_o confess_v feel_o when_o they_o say_v they_o have_v sin_v they_o know_v what_o they_o say_v they_o taste_v the_o bitterness_n of_o sin_n and_o groan_v under_o the_o burdensomeness_n of_o it_o as_o it_o pass_v out_o in_o confession_n a_o natural_a man_n confession_n run_v through_o he_o as_o water_n through_o a_o pipe_n which_o leave_v no_o impression_n or_o send_v there_o nor_o do_v they_o upon_o the_o matter_n any_o more_o taste_v what_o sin_n be_v than_o the_o pipe_n do_v of_o what_o relish_n water_n be_v or_o if_o a_o natural_a man_n feel_v any_o thing_n in_o confession_n it_o be_v the_o evil_a of_o punishment_n fear_v not_o the_o evil_a of_o his_o sin_n commit_v three_o they_o confess_v sincere_o they_o mean_v what_o they_o say_v &_o be_v in_o earnest_n both_o with_o god_n and_o their_o own_o soul_n bless_a be_v the_o man_n in_o who_o spirit_n there_o be_v no_o guile_n psal_n 32._o 2._o the_o natural_a man_n cast_v out_o his_o sin_n by_o confession_n as_o seaman_n cast_v their_o good_n overboard_o in_o a_o storm_n which_o in_o the_o calm_a they_o wish_v for_o again_o they_o so_o cast_v out_o the_o evil_a spirit_n that_o they_o be_v content_a to_o receive_v he_o again_o when_o he_o return_v though_o it_o be_v with_o seven_o worse_a than_o himself_o even_o while_o they_o confess_v sin_n with_o their_o lip_n they_o keep_v it_o like_o a_o sweet_a bit_n under_o their_o tongue_n and_o wish_v it_o well_o enough_o while_o they_o speak_v it_o very_o ill_a four_o they_o confess_v beleeve_o while_o they_o have_v a_o eye_n of_o sorrow_n upon_o sin_n they_o have_v a_o eye_n of_o faith_n upon_o christ_n judas_n say_v he_o have_v sin_v in_o betray_v innocent_a blood_n mat._n 27._o 4._o but_o instead_o of_o wash_v in_o that_o

a_o godly_a man_n maintain_v his_o innocency_n and_o justify_v himself_o before_o man_n he_o willing_o acknowledge_v his_o infirmity_n and_o judge_n himself_o fore_o god_n job_n have_v spend_v much_o

better_a of_o his_o servant_n then_o they_o do_v of_o themselves_o when_o god_n speak_v of_o job_n we_o find_v not_o one_o blot_n in_o all_o his_o character_n all_o be_v commendation_n nothing_o of_o

buffet_v ourselves_o often_o by_o confession_n three_o confession_n affect_v the_o heart_n with_o sin_n and_o engage_v the_o heart_n against_o it_o every_o confession_n of_o the_o evil_a we_o do_v be_v a_o new_a obligation_n not_o to_o do_v it_o any_o more_o the_o best_a in_o their_o worst_a part_n have_v so_o much_o freedom_n to_o sin_n that_o they_o have_v need_n enough_o to_o be_v bind_v
