him
off
;
fo
though God
have cart off
a
man
or
a
woman
,
yet
that
man
or
woman may have
much
fuccefs in
their way
;
you
that are Marriners, you
cannot
draw
an
argument,
that
becaufe
you
have had
a
good Voyage,
and have pact
fuch
dangers
(though you
have
committed many fins)) that
God
is
at
peace
with
you,
and
that
all
your
faults
are pall over ; no,
you may
have
many good
fucceflès
in
your
Voyages,
and
yet
peritlt
at length for
the
fins
you
have
committed
in
your
Voyages
;
and
fo
you
may have
good
fuccefs,
as
Said
had
good
fuccefs
in
war,
and
yet
was call
offfor
all
that.
Fifthly,
Others
fay,
we
are
not
fo
vain
to
make
outward
pro
fierity
an argument
or
ground that
our
fins
are pardoned:
but
we
farrow
for
fin,
repent
of
them,and
turn from
them,and
rely
on
Gods
mercy
through
Chrift that
oar
fns
are pardoned,
thefe
are
arguments
of
a
higher nature
than the former
;
and
if
there
be
true
forrow,
unfeigned repentance, reformation,
and a
trulling
in Gods mercy through
Jefus
Chritt,
they
will be
good arguments
indeed
:
but
now
I
fall
thew
you
there
may
be all
thefe,
and
yet
fin
not
pardoned
;
yea
a
relying
on
Chrifl,at
leaft fo as
people may think
they
rely
upon
Chrift,
and yet not
fin
pardoned.

Though there
things
we
mentioned
Taff
may feem
to
be
hard,
yet
the
tryal
of
them
is
a
very
fife
and
wholfome
thing,
becaufe
if
you
mitlake
in
this, you are
undone
;
you
will
examine
Evidences
for your
Houfes and Lands
;
do
fo
in
the
great
matters
between
God
and
your
fouls
:
And
for forrow
for
fin,
I
(hall
make
it plain, there
may
be a
great
deal
of
for.-
row
for fin,
and yet
fin
not
pardoned;
you
know the exam-
ple
of
Ahab,

to
29
verfes,
And
it
came pars
when
Ahab heard
thofe
words,
that
he
rent
his clothes,
and
put
fuck cloibupon
his
flefh,and
fatted,
and
lay
in fackcloth
and
went
foft`
when
God
did
but fend
the Prophet
to
tell
him
of
his fin;
prefently
upon
the Prophets words
he
rent his
clothes, .which
was
a
fign
of
exsream
forrow
in
thofe
times,
and
them
he put on Sackcloth
:.
he
put off his
Princely
Robes,
his
brave
Apparel
,
and put
on
Sackcloth,
and
that
not
for
an
outward
garment,
but upon his Beth, and then
fatted
.
and
lay
in
Sackcloth,
and went foftly
as
a
dejected
man
