of_o god_n and_o therefore_o to_o say_v boast_v be_v exclude_v by_o faith_n because_o faith_n be_v the_o gift_n of_o god_n will_v not_o serve_v the_o turn_n therefore_o the_o mystery_n of_o justification_n be_v a_o great_a mystery_n that_o notwithstanding_o faith_n be_v such_o a_o glorious_a work_n as_o it_o be_v one_o of_o the_o glorious_a work_n that_o ever_o any_o creature_n do_v yet_o that_o this_o shall_v be_v exclude_v by_o this_o i_o can_v but_o be_v persuade_v that_o there_o be_v more_o in_o the_o work_n of_o faith_n than_o in_o any_o thing_n adam_n ever_o have_v and_o that_o faith_n the_o power_n of_o believe_v be_v not_o in_o adam_n in_o the_o state_n of_o innocency_n why_o because_o it_o be_v now_o make_v such_o a_o grace_n as_o exclude_v all_o kind_n of_o boast_v for_o be_v it_o but_o the_o stir_v up_o of_o any_o power_n we_o have_v in_o adam_n it_o will_v no_o more_o exclude_v boast_v than_o if_o god_n stir_v up_o any_o other_o grace_n as_o love_n hope_v fear_v and_o the_o like_a but_o that_o it_o exclude_v boast_v this_o may_v be_v the_o most_o satisfactory_a answer_n work_v they_o can_v not_o exclude_v boast_v why_o though_o they_o be_v from_o the_o grace_n and_o gift_n of_o god_n yet_o they_o belong_v to_o man_n nature_n for_o if_o god_n will_v make_v a_o rational_a creature_n he_o must_v give_v it_o those_o perfection_n that_o be_v due_a to_o that_o nature_n now_o the_o image_n of_o god_n be_v in_o some_o regard_n due_a to_o such_o a_o nature_n but_o now_o god_n when_o he_o come_v to_o give_v faith_n he_o give_v a_o high_a thing_n than_o ever_o be_v due_a to_o the_o nature_n of_o man_n hence_o there_o be_v a_o great_a mystery_n in_o faith_n than_o in_o any_o other_o grace_n and_o therefore_o it_o be_v a_o great_a mystery_n that_o god_n shall_v justify_v a_o man_n by_o faith_n and_o yet_o this_o exclude_v boast_v more_o than_o any_o other_o thing_n ay_o but_o the_o scripture_n say_v god_n impute_v faith_n for_o righteousness_n object_n and_o when_o god_n enable_v we_o to_o believe_v be_v it_o not_o our_o own_o yea_o when_o we_o have_v it_o it_o be_v our_o own_o answ_n and_o when_o we_o be_v justify_v it_o be_v impute_v to_o we_o for_o righteousness_n but_o mark_v what_o i_o shall_v say_v it_o will_v be_v useful_a for_o the_o understanding_n that_o text_n in_o rom._n 4.22_o where_o it_o say_v faith_n be_v impute_v to_o he_o for_o righteousness_n you_o must_v not_o understand_v it_o thus_o that_o be_v that_o god_n do_v through_o the_o grace_n of_o christ_n now_o accept_v of_o abraham_n faith_n as_o his_o righteousness_n whereby_o he_o shall_v stand_v to_o be_v justify_v by_o it_o in_o the_o sight_n of_o god_n he_o do_v not_o thus_o accept_v of_o faith_n for_o righteousness_n no_o not_o through_o the_o mediation_n of_o christ_n nor_o by_o virtue_n of_o any_o covenant_n make_v by_o god_n with_o christ_n god_n do_v never_o make_v any_o covenant_n with_o christ_n that_o whereas_o man_n do_v owe_v obedience_n to_o all_o the_o law_n and_o that_o shall_v have_v be_v his_o righteousness_n have_v he_o continue_v in_o it_o but_o man_n now_o be_v unable_a to_o perform_v it_o that_o god_n will_v be_v now_o so_o favourable_a to_o he_o as_o that_o he_o will_v accept_v of_o faith_n for_o righteousness_n that_o be_v not_o the_o meaning_n of_o it_o for_o the_o word_n in_o the_o original_a translate_v for_o righteousness_n it_o be_v thus_o it_o be_v impute_v unto_o righteousness_n it_o be_v the_o same_o word_n use_v in_o rom._n 10.10_o with_o the_o heart_n man_n believe_v unto_o righteousness_n and_o with_o the_o mouth_n confession_n be_v make_v unto_o salvation_n now_o confession_n with_o the_o mouth_n be_v not_o make_v salvation_n itself_o but_o unto_o salvation_n so_o faith_n be_v not_o the_o righteousness_n itself_o but_o unto_o righteousness_n object_n that_o be_v by_o faith_n we_o come_v to_o get_v righteousness_n but_o why_o say_v the_o scripture_n god_n impute_v it_o unto_o righteousness_n i_o take_v it_o thus_o answ_n that_o forasmuch_o as_o faith_n be_v so_o glorious_a a_o principle_n infuse_v of_o god_n above_o any_o thing_n of_o our_o own_o god_n be_v please_v to_o account_v of_o it_o as_o if_o it_o be_v our_o own_o and_o so_o impute_v it_o unto_o righteousness_n the_o truth_n be_v it_o be_v not_o our_o own_o no_o not_o so_o our_o own_o as_o other_o grace_n be_v our_o own_o but_o god_n in_o point_n of_o justification_n be_v please_v to_o impute_v it_o as_o our_o own_o that_o we_o may_v come_v to_o have_v righteousness_n by_o it_o as_o if_o it_o be_v our_o own_o now_o this_o be_v a_o great_a mystery_n that_o god_n in_o the_o work_n of_o pardon_n of_o sin_n shall_v do_v it_o by_o the_o grace_n of_o faith_n and_o that_o this_o exclude_v all_o boast_n and_o yet_o righteousness_n impute_v to_o it_o as_o if_o it_o be_v our_o own_o hence_o by_o the_o way_n let_v we_o take_v heed_n of_o the_o opinion_n of_o those_o that_o say_v faith_n itself_o be_v impute_v for_o righteousness_n and_o that_o god_n through_o christ_n accept_v of_o faith_n as_o the_o matter_n of_o our_o righteousness_n the_o papist_n say_v we_o be_v justify_v by_o work_n and_o that_o god_n be_v please_v through_o christ_n to_o accept_v not_o of_o faith_n only_o but_o of_o humility_n fear_v love_n repentance_n joy_n etc._n etc._n though_o they_o be_v imperfect_a yet_o he_o be_v please_v to_o accept_v of_o these_o for_o our_o righteousness_n say_v the_o other_o opinion_n faith_n be_v our_o righteousness_n though_o god_n may_v require_v exact_a obedience_n to_o the_o whole_a law_n yet_o he_o be_v please_v to_o accept_v of_o faith_n both_o these_o opinion_n be_v beside_o the_o truth_n and_o therefore_o there_o be_v the_o same_o danger_n in_o the_o one_o as_o in_o the_o other_o and_o therefore_o both_o to_o avoid_v of_o the_o eight_o mystery_n god_n be_v infinite_o just_a and_o yet_o infinite_o merciful_a 8._o the_o eight_o particular_a be_v this_o that_o show_v pardon_n of_o sin_n be_v a_o great_a mystery_n because_o wherever_o god_n pardon_v sin_n he_o be_v infinite_o just_a and_o yet_o infinite_o merciful_a there_o be_v a_o admirable_a reconciliation_n between_o god_n justice_n and_o mercy_n which_o show_v it_o to_o be_v a_o great_a mystery_n there_o be_v three_o great_a mystery_n in_o religion_n 1._o the_o great_a mystery_n of_o the_o trinity_n that_o there_o shall_v be_v divers_a person_n and_o yet_o but_o one_o god_n the_o second_o be_v that_o in_o the_o person_n of_o christ_n there_o shall_v be_v two_o nature_n and_o yet_o but_o one_o person_n and_o then_o the_o three_o be_v the_o reconciliation_n of_o the_o mercy_n and_o justice_n of_o god_n in_o the_o forgiveness_n of_o a_o sinner_n many_o people_n when_o they_o seek_v for_o pardon_v of_o sin_n they_o only_o think_v of_o god_n infinite_a grace_n and_o mercy_n but_o not_o of_o his_o justice_n but_o certain_o who_o ever_o he_o be_v that_o come_v to_o be_v pardon_v god_n show_v himself_o infinite_o just_a as_o well_o as_o merciful_a that_o he_o be_v merciful_a that_o be_v clear_a to_o every_o one_o but_o how_o do_v it_o appear_v he_o be_v so_o infinite_o just_a for_o that_o there_o be_v a_o clear_a text_n for_o it_o rom._n 3.26_o to_o declare_v at_o this_o time_n his_o righteousness_n that_o he_o may_v be_v just_a and_o the_o justifier_n of_o he_o which_o believe_v in_o jesus_n so_o that_o god_n in_o the_o justify_n of_o he_o that_o believe_v in_o christ_n be_v just_a as_o well_o as_o merciful_a now_o then_o poor_a sinner_n lay_v these_o together_o that_o god_n shall_v work_v so_o strange_o in_o bring_v about_o the_o pardon_n of_o thy_o sin_n in_o such_o a_o mysterious_a way_n as_o this_o be_v certain_o it_o do_v demonstrate_v that_o thou_o be_v a_o bless_a man_n i_o beseech_v you_o think_v of_o what_o have_v be_v say_v and_o lay_v it_o in_o your_o breast_n go_v away_o with_o this_o upon_o your_o spirit_n lord_n i_o indeed_o hear_v much_o of_o the_o evil_a of_o sin_n and_o that_o it_o be_v a_o great_a evil_n than_o ever_o i_o think_v it_o to_o be_v and_o now_o i_o have_v begin_v to_o hear_v of_o the_o mighty_a work_n of_o god_n in_o pardon_n of_o sin_n i_o hope_v i_o shall_v for_o ever_o retain_v high_a thought_n of_o it_o than_o before_o brethren_n there_o be_v nothing_o in_o the_o world_n that_o people_n have_v slight_a thought_n of_o than_o of_o the_o pardon_n and_o forgiveness_n of_o sin_n they_o think_v it_o a_o slight_a matter_n but_o if_o there_o be_v any_o work_n that_o ever_o take_v up_o the_o

repentance_n that_o be_v a_o truth_n esau_n be_v very_o much_o trouble_v and_o shed_v many_o tear_n and_o yet_o there_o be_v no_o true_a repentance_n but_o i_o rather_o take_v the_o meaning_n of_o the_o text_n thus_o he_o find_v no_o place_n of_o repentance_n in_o his_o father_n isaac_n his_o father_n isaac_n have_v give_v the_o blessing_n to_o jacob_n and_o will_v not_o call_v it_o back_o though_o he_o seek_v it_o with_o tear_n there_o be_v no_o place_n for_o isaac_n to_o recall_v it_o any_o more_o though_o he_o shed_v many_o tear_n yet_o he_o go_v without_o it_o so_o that_o there_o may_v be_v much_o sorrow_n and_o thou_o may_v seek_v the_o blessing_n with_o many_o tear_n and_o yet_o god_n may_v be_v so_o turn_v against_o thou_o that_o there_o will_v be_v no_o place_n for_o repentance_n that_o be_v god_n will_v not_o call_v in_o that_o that_o be_v out_o against_o thou_o and_o of_o judas_n it_o be_v say_v when_o he_o see_v christ_n be_v condemn_v that_o he_o repent_v it_o be_v say_v he_o do_v repent_v yet_o judas_n be_v not_o pardon_v so_o that_o you_o see_v plain_o there_o may_v be_v repentance_n and_o yet_o sin_n never_o pardon_v indeed_o true_a repentance_n have_v ever_o pardon_v go_v along_o with_o it_o but_o the_o scripture_n speak_v of_o a_o repentance_n that_o may_v be_v without_o pardon_n therefore_o when_o thou_o say_v thou_o repente_v you_o must_v not_o look_v upon_o it_o so_o because_o you_o repent_v therefore_o your_o sin_n be_v pardon_v as_o if_o every_o repentance_n be_v true_a for_o thou_o mistake_v in_o the_o work_n of_o repentance_n thou_o think_v this_o to_o be_v repentance_n to_o salvation_n for_o thou_o to_o be_v sorry_a at_o the_o very_a heart_n for_o thy_o sin_n certain_o thou_o may_v be_v sorry_a at_o the_o heart_n and_o yet_o perish_v for_o all_o that_o i_o make_v no_o question_n but_o judas_n be_v sorry_a at_o his_o heart_n and_o wish_v it_o have_v never_o be_v do_v and_o if_o it_o be_v to_o do_v again_o he_o will_v never_o do_v it_o there_o be_v as_o much_o express_v he_o repent_v and_o he_o bring_v the_o 30_o piece_n again_o he_o be_v not_o only_o sorrowful_a but_o make_v satisfaction_n he_o bring_v the_o money_n back_o again_o that_o he_o have_v get_v in_o a_o wicked_a way_n and_o therefore_o if_o you_o think_v this_o to_o be_v true_a repentance_n you_o be_v mighty_o mistake_v but_o wherein_o be_v it_o that_o we_o fail_v it_o be_v not_o for_o i_o now_o to_o enter_v on_o the_o doctrine_n of_o true_a repentance_n i_o be_o to_o speak_v of_o it_o so_o far_o as_o to_o convince_v man_n that_o it_o be_v not_o a_o ground_n for_o hope_n of_o pardon_n of_o sin_n mark_v it_o when_o it_o be_v thus_o with_o thou_o thou_o repente_v because_o thou_o see_v that_o sin_n will_v bring_v thou_o into_o danger_n now_o thou_o have_v have_v the_o pleasure_n or_o the_o profit_n of_o it_o and_o thou_o see_v now_o it_o will_v bring_v thou_o into_o trouble_n and_o danger_n thou_o be_v sorry_a that_o ever_o thou_o do_v it_o certain_o if_o god_n will_v be_v satisfy_v with_o such_o kind_n of_o sorrow_n he_o may_v have_v enough_o of_o it_o in_o hell_n for_o there_o be_v yell_v and_o sorrow_n because_o of_o the_o trouble_v that_o sin_n have_v bring_v upon_o they_o to_o sorrow_n because_o of_o the_o trouble_n that_o our_o sin_n bring_v on_o we_o be_v mere_o natural_a and_o flow_v from_o nature_n itself_o and_o far_o from_o a_o save_a work_n of_o repentance_n therefore_o the_o repentance_n many_o hope_n to_o have_v what_o be_v it_o when_o we_o tell_v they_o of_o their_o sin_n they_o say_v they_o hope_v to_o repent_v what_o do_v they_o mean_v why_o they_o will_v take_v the_o pleasure_n of_o sin_n and_o when_o the_o punishment_n come_v they_o will_v be_v sorry_a for_o it_o and_o repent_v of_o it_o the_o ordinary_a way_n to_o put_v man_n off_o from_o this_o plea_n be_v to_o tell_v they_o how_o do_v you_o know_v you_o shall_v live_v or_o that_o your_o heart_n shall_v not_o be_v harden_v but_o suppose_v you_o do_v live_v and_o that_o you_o have_v a_o heart_n to_o do_v as_o you_o say_v yet_o your_o repentance_n may_v fail_v you_o if_o your_o repentance_n be_v no_o other_o than_o that_o which_o come_v for_o sorrow_n of_o sin_n because_o of_o the_o punishment_n it_o will_v fail_v you_o certain_o that_o repentance_n that_o must_v go_v for_o current_n in_o heaven_n be_v of_o another_o

build_v their_o believe_v of_o the_o pardon_n of_o their_o sin_n mere_o on_o their_o sorrow_n and_o such_o kind_n of_o sorrow_n they_o be_v like_o a_o man_n that_o will_v erect_v a_o great_a building_n and_o lay_v the_o foundation_n of_o it_o in_o a_o quag-mire_n or_o on_o the_o sand_n as_o the_o scripture_n speak_v when_o storm_n come_v the_o building_n fall_v i_o shall_v speak_v

never_o have_v peace_n for_o how_o can_v i_o tell_v the_o measure_n of_o sorrow_n i_o be_o to_o have_v before_o peace_n be_v speak_v and_o then_o if_o they_o feel_v not_o sorrow_n they_o be_v question_v again_o it_o be_v a_o dangerous_a thing_n to_o lay_v the_o hope_n of_o pardon_n of_o sin_n upon_o our_o own_o sorrow_n where_o or_o how_o then_o shall_v we_o lay_v our_o hope_n why_o upon_o the_o sorrow_n of_o jesus_n christ_n there_o you_o shall_v find_v the_o sure_a ground_n there_o may_v be_v some_o mistake_n there_o too_o but_o for_o the_o present_a i_o shall_v not_o stay_v on_o that_o we_o must_v look_v ten_o thousand_o time_n more_o at_o the_o sorrow_n of_o christ_n than_o at_o our_o own_o sorrow_n and_o therefore_o when_o your_o heart_n be_v trouble_v and_o you_o look_v for_o mercy_n depend_v more_o ten_o thousand_o time_n on_o the_o sorrow_n of_o christ_n than_o on_o all_o your_o own_o sorrow_n for_o your_o sorrow_n for_o sin_n can_v satisfy_v god_n justice_n and_o that_o that_o must_v be_v a_o ground_n of_o hope_n for_o the_o pardon_n of_o my_o sin_n must_v be_v something_o that_o must_v satisfy_v the_o justice_n of_o god_n for_o though_o there_o be_v never_o so_o much_o sorrow_n yet_o it_o will_v not_o satisfy_v god_n justice_n and_o consider_v further_o true_a sorrow_n rather_o follow_v the_o work_n of_o justification_n than_o prece_v it_o as_o thus_o i_o be_o not_o therefore_o pardon_v because_o i_o mourn_v but_o because_o i_o be_o pardon_v therefore_o i_o come_v to_o mourn_v so_o stand_v the_o truth_n in_o divinity_n in_o point_n of_o

to_o work_v sorrow_n and_o repentance_n many_o think_v justification_n flow_v from_o sorrow_n but_o thou_o must_v come_v to_o sorrow_n and_o repentance_n another_o way_n know_v that_o all_o true_a
