The

of

,
doth
minister
an
argument
unto
the
Soul
,
for
the
justifying
of
sin
:
that
it
may
appear
to
be
nothing
but
the
doing
of
that
which
may
lawfully

be
done

One
of

waies
which
sinners
are
wont
to
take
,
that
they
may
go
on
freely
,
and
uncontroledly
,
in
a
course
of
sin
,
is
by
stopping
the

of

;

would
otherwise
check

for

that

men
,
to
stifle
the
workings
of

,
that
it
may
not
rebuke

condemn
them
for

,
is
by
standing
up
in
justification

of

That
the
example
of
the

is
a
principal
argument
,
which
sinners
produce
to
this
end
,
namely
to
justifie

deeds
,

to
maintain
the
corruptions

things
That

wickedness
in
the
sight
of
God
,
and
so
may
justly
expose
us
to
a
greater
measure
of
his
indignation
,
for
a
person
not
only
to
live
in
the
practise
of
sin
,
but
to
defend
and
justifie
those
practises
.
but
he
will
not
plead
the
cause
of
sin
to
set
his
mouth
against
the
heavens
,
His
answer
was
for
the
fact

for
their
drunkenness
He
may
destroy
them
with
a
double
destruction
;

for

for

and

that

and

For
a
person
thus
to
plead
in
defence
of
his
sin
,
it
is
to
put
himself
at
the
greatest
distance
from
repentance
and
conversion
,
and
consequentially
from
the
pardoning
grace
and
favour
of
God
annexed
thereunto
.
And
I
will
establish

covenant
with
thee
,

thou
shalt

That

three

That
it
is
a
sure
token
of
abundant
,
desperate
atheism
,
lodging
in
the
heart
,
and
that
mightily
prevaileth
over
the
heart
,
when
a
sinner
is
kept
from
pollutions
,
meerly
from
the
shame
of

,
and
is
not
afraid
of

presence

.
terrible
judgments
Consider
this
ye
that
forget
God
,
lest
I
tear
you
in
pieces
,
and
there
be
none
to
deliver
.
Although
an
impenitent
sinner
may
escape
the
shame
of
the
world
here
,
yet
he
shall
not
be
able
to
escape
everlasting
shame
and
contempt
hereafter
,
when
he
is
brought
before

of
our
Lord
Jesus
Christ
.
O
,

Then
shall
the
wicked

,

,
And
many
of
them
that
sleep
in
the
dust
of

earth
shall
awake
,
some
to

,
and
some
to
shame
and

contempt
.
All
sin
whatsoever
is
shameful
in
its
own
nature
and
tendency
,
as
considered
in

,

however

is

there

ye

that

incouragement

Lest

the

Then
I
said
I

But

These

for

endured
the

despising
the

is
set
down

For
consider
him
that

such

love

the
most

kindness

can
shew
,
to

to
endeavour
to

from

sins
;
and
so
to
be
a
means
of

from
the

pit

Dost
thou
love

Hast
thou
an
affectionate
desire
of
the
welfare
of
thy
friends
?
Why
,
What
knowest
thou
,
O

whether
thou
shalt

thine

?
Or
how
knowest
thou
,
O

,
whether
thou
shalt

thy

?
How
knowest

thou
mayest

thou
mayest

If
thou

,
and
call

;

Then
shalt
thou

I
will
cause
thee
to

to

of

.
The
generality
of
people
will
cry
unto
God
,
and
seem
tobe
much
displeased
with
their
sins
,
only
in
the
time
of
sickness
and
adversity
,
when
the
hand
of
God
is
upon
them
,
and
his
rod
upon
their
backs
:
But
in
the
dayes
of
their
health
and
prosperity
,
they
forget
the
Lord
,
and
perhaps
entertain
not
so
much
as
a
serious
thought
of
him
,
from
one
end
of
the
day
to
the
other
.
Let
favour
be
shewed
to
the
wicked
,
yet
will
he
not
learn
righteousness
:
in
the
land
of
uprightness
will
he
deal
unjustly
,
and
will
not
behold
the
majesty
of
the
Lord
.
Lord
,
in

have
they
visited
thee
:
they
poured
out
a
prayer
,
when
thy
chastening
was
upon
them
.
When
he
slew
them
then
they
sought
him
,
and
they
returned
,
and
inquired
early
after
God
.
And
they
remembred
,
that
God
was
their
rock
,
and
the
high
God
their
Redeemer
.
Nevertheless
they
did
flatter
him
with
their
mouth
,
and
lied
unto
him
with
their
tongues
.
For
their
heart
was
not
right

him
,
neither
were
they

covenant

devotions
in
the
day
of

,
And
they
would
be
sure
to
prove
very
miserable
comforters
:
They
say
unto
a
stock
,
thou
art
my
father
,
and
to
a
stone
,
thou
hast
brought
me
forth
:
for
they
have
turned
their
back
unto
me
,
and
not
the
face
.
But
in
the
time
of
their
trouble
,
they
will
say
,
arise
and
save
us
.
But
where
are
thy
Gods
,
which
thou
hast
made
thee
?
Let
them
arise
,
if
they
can
save
thee
,

time
of
thy
trouble
