never_o bring_v agrippa_n to_o altogether_o therefore_o they_o which_o fish_n for_o soul_n 〈◊〉_d must_v take_v paul_n net_n and_o remember_v what_o god_n say_v to_o jeremie_n 15._o 19_o let_v they_o

what_o passion_n expel_v what_o sin_n repent_v what_o good_a perform_v since_o we_o begin_v to_o receive_v thy_o benefit_n this_o day_n we_o must_v confess_v against_o ourselves_o that_o all_o our_o

a_o word_n of_o reproach_n until_o this_o day_n and_o all_o traitor_n be_v call_v judass_n for_o his_o sake_n that_o the_o prophecy_n may_v be_v fulfil_v the_o name_n of_o the_o wicked_a shall_v rot_v 7._o that_o be_v they_o shall_v be_v name_v with_o loathsomeness_n and_o remember_v with_o disdain_n as_o a_o man_n pass_v by_o a_o rot_a carrion_n and_o stop_v his_o nose_n until_o he_o be_v pass_v it_o this_o be_v the_o just_a wrath_n of_o god_n as_o christ_n promise_v that_o mary_n good_a work_n shall_v be_v speak_v of_o to_o the_o world_n end_n so_o he_o have_v cause_v judas_n evil_a work_n to_o be_v speak_v of_o unto_o the_o world_n end_n too_o for_o there_o be_v three_o evilles_n in_o one_o first_o his_o practice_n be_v impudent_a because_o he_o offer_v himself_o to_o be_v a_o traitor_n before_o he_o be_v ask_v then_o it_o be_v covetous_a because_o he_o be_v content_v to_o betray_v his_o lord_n for_o 30._o penny_n and_o last_o it_o be_v crafty_a because_o he_o betray_v he_o with_o a_o kiss_n which_o be_v a_o sign_n of_o love_n like_o this_o traitor_n do_v all_o other_o traitor_n and_o therefore_o be_v all_o call_v judass_n that_o be_v impudent_a and_o covetous_a and_o crafty_a like_o their_o master_n the_o next_o consideration_n be_v how_o judas_n his_o repentance_n come_v upon_o he_o in_o these_o word_n when_o he_o see_v that_o jesus_n be_v condemn_v etc._n etc._n peter_n hear_v three_o crow_n before_o he_o feel_v any_o remorse_n so_o judas_n see_v his_o lord_n apprepend_v &_o yet_o he_o repent_v not_o than_o he_o see_v he_o accuse_v and_o yet_o he_o repent_v not_o than_o he_o see_v he_o mock_v &_o yet_o he_o repent_v not_o than_o he_o see_v he_o buffet_v &_o yet_o he_o repent_v not_o at_o last_o he_o see_v he_o condemn_v and_o then_o say_v matthew_n he_o repent_v like_o one_o which_o slay_v his_o friend_n in_o his_o rage_n and_o sorrow_v when_o it_o be_v past_a in_o the_o sixth_o of_o genesis_n god_n be_v say_v to_o repent_v but_o god_n repent_v not_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 our_o saviour_n save_o marie_n magdalen_n which_o have_v seven_o devil_n and_o spare_v the_o thief_n which_o never_o do_v good_a but_o lest_o as_o great_a sinner_n as_o they_o shall_v despair_v of_o mercy_n if_o they_o repent_v if_o thou_o can_v knock_v his_o promise_n bind_v he_o to_o open_v therefore_o say_v not_o god_n will_v not_o give_v but_o i_o do_v not_o ask_v for_o god_n be_v ready_a to_o give_v than_o we_o to_o ask_v the_o next_o consideration_n be_v how_o judas_n restore_v his_o bribe_n again_o in_o the_o first_o of_o the_o proverbe_n 31._o solomon_n say_v the_o wicked_a shall_v

that_o now_o he_o be_v weary_a of_o his_o sin_n &_o will_v restore_v his_o bribe_n again_o even_o the_o same_o day_n that_o he_o take_v it_o it_o be_v give_v he_o in_o the_o night_n and_o in_o the_o

surprise_v judas_n at_o once_o so_o studdenlie_o as_o adam_n spy_v his_o nakedness_n and_o though_o they_o come_v after_o every_o sin_n yet_o they_o be_v never_o look_v for_o gehesi_n take_v his_o

man_n much_o more_o shall_v man_n humble_v himself_o for_o man_n therefore_o though_o paul_n speak_v of_o a_o matter_n wherein_o he_o may_v command_v as_o he_o say_v to_o philemon_n i_o may_v

3._o how_o many_o sin_n come_v with_o adam_n and_o how_o many_o curse_n come_v with_o sin_n so_o many_o mercy_n come_v with_o christ_n to_o answer_v they_o both_o therefore_o when_o paul_n can_v not_o

why_o he_o remember_v they_o of_o god_n mercy_n now_o he_o have_v prepare_v the_o way_n he_o commence_v his_o suit_n that_o they_o will_v give_v their_o body_n to_o god_n he_o speak_v not_o here_o of_o the_o soul_n though_o he_o will_v have_v they_o give_v their_o soul_n too_o as_o you_o may_v see_v in_o the_o next_o verse_n but_o he_o speak_v here_o of_o the_o body_n to_o show_v that_o the_o body_n be_v a_o servant_n to_o god_n as_o well_o as_o the_o soul_n both_o be_v too_o little_a and_o therefore_o one_o be_v not_o enough_o and_o therefore_o paul_n say_v glorify_v god_n in_o your_o body_n and_o in_o your_o soul_n too_o 20_o but_o here_o he_o speak_v the_o rather_o of_o the_o body_n to_o show_v that_o their_o battle_n will_v be_v with_o the_o flesh_n and_o that_o the_o flesh_n will_v be_v unwilling_a to_o this_o sacrifice_n as_o christ_n say_v the_o spirit_n be_v willing_a but_o the_o flesh_n be_v frail_a 43._o that_o be_v the_o flesh_n will_v not_o afford_v any_o thing_n
