in_o the_o epistle_n of_o judas_n they_o follow_v the_o way_n of_o cain_n that_o be_v to_o allay_v and_o stifle_v the_o trouble_n of_o conscience_n by_o sensual_a delight_n and_o worldly_a affair_n some_o with_o saul_n play_v upon_o music_n do_v not_o take_v this_o course_n to_o use_v sinful_a wrong_n mean_v to_o allay_v trouble_n of_o mind_n as_o a_o man_n in_o fever_n let_v down_o cold_a

increase_v the_o heat_n just_a as_o if_o man_n be_v sting_v with_o a_o bee_n and_o they_o will_v run_v to_o a_o bunch_n of_o nettle_n and_o rub_v themselves_o therewith_o to_o allay_v the_o sting_n of_o the_o bee_n belove_v when_o man_n be_v sting_v by_o god_n wrath_n and_o then_o shall_v run_v to_o sin_n to_o heal_v they_o it_o be_v but_o like_o a_o man_n rub_v of_o himself_o with_o nettle_n to_o allay_v the_o sting_n of_o a_o bee_n like_o a_o man_n that_o have_v his_o house_n a_o fall_a and_o will_v take_v a_o firebrand_n to_o uphold_v his_o build_n o_o belove_a when_o you_o be_v under_o trouble_n of_o mind_n to_o run_v to_o merry_a meeting_n to_o music_n to_o building_n to_o buy_v and_o bargain_v and_o not_o run_v to_o god_n on_o thy_o knee_n this_o be_v not_o the_o way_n to_o regain_v comfort_n it_o be_v the_o way_n to_o increase_v thy_o sorrow_n and_o to_o cause_v more_o anger_n and_o anguish_n on_o thy_o conscience_n i_o may_v exemplify_v it_o further_o by_o a_o disease_n which_o some_o woman_n have_v in_o their_o breast_n which_o they_o call_v the_o wolf_n the_o disease_n they_o say_v it_o be_v feed_v by_o flesh_n and_o if_o flesh_n be_v put_v upon_o the_o

peace_n of_o spirit_n 8._o be_v more_o industrious_a in_o do_v duty_n then_o in_o get_v comfort_n it_o be_v the_o fault_n of_o many_o christian_n they_o spend_v more_o time_n in_o fruitless_a complaint_n that_o they_o want_v comfort_n then_o in_o holy_a endeavour_n to_o perform_v duty_n now_o if_o the_o people_n of_o god_n will_v take_v but_o this_o rule_n to_o be_v more_o industrious_a and_o spend_v more_o time_n in_o perform_v duty_n then_o in_o gain_v comfort_n their_o comfort_n may_v be_v soon_o get_v and_o their_o duty_n better_o perform_v when_o a_o house_n be_v on_o fire_n it_o be_v not_o our_o work_n to_o inquire_v how_o the_o fire_n come_v but_o to_o labour_v to_o put_v out_o the_o fire_n so_o when_o man_n shall_v suspect_v their_o condition_n and_o complain_v of_o

divine_v observe_v of_o david_n the_o scripture_n tell_v you_o he_o be_v a_o man_n of_o a_o ruddy_a complexion_n the_o effect_n thereof_o be_v to_o be_v merry_a and_o pleasant_a yet_o he_o do_v grieve_v and_o roar_v under_o disquietness_n of_o soul_n for_o sin_n again_o melancholy_n do_v impair_v the_o health_n of_o the_o body_n but_o sorrow_n for_o sin_n do_v not_o so_o again_o a_o melancholy_a man_n can_v delight_v in_o god_n nor_o in_o duty_n whereas_o a_o man_n under_o trouble_n of_o mind_n though_o he_o be_v trouble_v for_o sin_n yet_o he_o can_v rejoice_v in_o god_n and_o delight_n in_o duty_n godly_a sorrow_n and_o spiritual_a joy_n be_v no_o way_n contradictory_n each_o to_o other_o but_o rather_o subservient_fw-fr each_n to_o other_o second_o take_v this_o caution_n do_v not_o mistake_v that_o to_o be_v trouble_n of_o mind_n for_o sin_n which_o be_v only_o a_o trouble_n for_o some_o outward_a disaster_n in_o the_o world_n when_o a_o man_n be_v trouble_v for_o the_o loss_n of_o a_o child_n or_o for_o the_o loss_n of_o a_o estate_n many_o man_n deceive_v themselves_o and_o take_v their_o worldly_a sorrow_n for_o spiritual_a trouble_n which_o if_o this_o be_v true_a achitophel_n shall_v be_v a_o trouble_a man_n for_o sin_n he_o come_v home_o sad_a and_o hang_v himself_o then_o haman_n shall_v have_v godly_a sorrow_n for_o he_o be_v trouble_v for_o cross_n in_o the_o world_n he_o come_v home_o sad_a and_o tell_v all_o his_o friend_n what_o have_v befall_v he_o belove_a you_o must_v not_o look_v upon_o worldly_a trouble_n to_o be_v spiritual_a trouble_n but_o thus_o do_v when_o you_o find_v the_o heart_n overwhelm_v with_o worldly_a trouble_n o_o labour_n to_o direct_v it_o into_o spiritual_a trouble_n to_o shed_v tear_n for_o sin_n when_o thou_o shed_v tear_n for_o the_o loss_n of_o a_o estate_n why_o turn_v that_o flood_n of_o tear_n to_o weep_v for_o sin_n to_o turn_v the_o mill_n of_o godly_a sorrow_n to_o grind_v thy_o heart_n to_o powder_v in_o the_o sense_n of_o sin_n it_o be_v a_o debasement_n to_o tear_n to_o be_v shed_v for_o every_o try_v beloved_n to_o shed_v tear_n for_o worldly_a thing_n it_o be_v to_o be_v prodigal_a of_o your_o tear_n three_o take_v this_o caution_n do_v not_o conceive_v that_o to_o be_v trouble_n for_o sin_n that_o cause_v shame_n among_o man_n many_o reprobate_n be_v trouble_v for_o sin_n but_o why_o it_o be_v not_o because_o god_n receive_v dishonour_n by_o sin_n but_o because_o they_o shall_v receive_v shame_n for_o their_o sin_n this_o be_v not_o evangelical_n trouble_v many_o man_n be_v like_o judah_n genesis_n 38._o 23._o and_o judah_n say_v let_v she_o take_v it_o to_o she_o lest_o we_o be_v ashamed_a behold_v i_o send_v this_o kid_n and_o thou_o have_v not_o find_v she_o as_o if_o

will_v have_v conscience_n let_v they_o alone_o and_o they_o will_v let_v sin_n alone_o lest_o they_o shall_v be_v ashamed_a if_o so_o be_v that_o the_o conceal_n of_o a_o sin_n can_v conceal_v

that_o a_o heathen_a shall_v go_v so_o far_o say_v he_o that_o if_o i_o think_v that_o all_o my_o sin_n can_v be_v conceal_v from_o all_o the_o world_n yet_o we_o must_v do_v nothing_o covetous_o

this_o to_o be_v godly_a sorrow_n and_o evangelical_a remorse_n in_o they_o alas_o beloved_n judas_n be_v trouble_v for_o one_o sin_n but_o not_o for_o another_o sin_n he_o be_v trouble_v for_o ill_o
