he_o will_v say_v whether_o he_o will_v speak_v comfort_n to_o his_o soul_n or_o no_o and_o then_o away_o with_o carnal_a reason_n and_o delusion_n of_o satan_n my_o brethren_n you_o shall_v in_o the_o first_o place_n go_v to_o god_n and_o advise_v with_o he_o and_o hear_v what_o his_o good_a pleasure_n be_v towards_o you_o and_o never_o inquire_v of_o your_o own_o carnal_a reason_n again_o there_o be_v oft_o another_o great_a fault_n in_o the_o people_n of_o god_n that_o as_o they_o go_v not_o to_o christ_n in_o the_o first_o place_n for_o advice_n and_o counsel_n so_o in_o the_o second_o place_n when_o they_o have_v it_o they_o rest_v not_o upon_o it_o many_o a_o one_o there_o be_v who_o after_o he_o have_v be_v convince_v evident_o and_o clear_o by_o the_o power_n of_o the_o word_n right_o and_o strong_o apply_v that_o his_o estate_n be_v good_a before_o god_n and_o that_o his_o conscience_n be_v sincere_a his_o heart_n upright_o and_o that_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n have_v begin_v a_o everlasting_a work_n of_o grace_n in_o he_o yet_o notwithstanding_o oftentimes_o relinquish_v that_o ground_n that_o god_n have_v give_v he_o to_o stand_v upon_o and_o let_v go_v that_o hold_n that_o have_v be_v reach_v out_o from_o heaven_n for_o he_o to_o sustain_v himself_o by_o and_o return_v home_o again_o to_o a_o view_n of_o his_o own_o weakness_n and_o infirmity_n he_o forsake_v his_o own_o mercy_n and_o grow_v forgetful_a of_o his_o former_a comfort_n the_o consolation_n of_o the_o almighty_a seem_v small_a unto_o he_o he_o will_v not_o quiet_v himself_o in_o that_o truth_n which_o god_n have_v make_v know_v nor_o rest_n upon_o his_o word_n as_o he_o require_v yea_o but_o the_o soul_n repli_v alas_o shall_v a_o man_n content_v himself_o with_o a_o blind_a persuasion_n that_o his_o estate_n be_v good_a and_o not_o try_v his_o title_n to_o heaven_n or_o search_v whether_o his_o interest_n in_o christ_n be_v such_o as_o will_v not_o deceive_v he_o at_o the_o last_o i_o say_v yes_o a_o man_n shall_v look_v into_o himself_o and_o examine_v himself_o whether_o he_o be_v in_o the_o faith_n or_o no_o but_o always_o let_v the_o lord_n be_v judge_n let_v his_o word_n only_o pass_v sentence_n upon_o thou_o never_o judge_v thyself_o bare_o by_o what_o either_o satan_n seem_v to_o suggest_v or_o thy_o own_o sinful_a weakness_n will_v persuade_v thou_o unto_o but_o when_o the_o word_n of_o god_n be_v reveal_v and_o his_o truth_n manifest_v unto_o thou_o when_o the_o minister_n out_o of_o the_o scripture_n have_v settle_v thy_o conscience_n and_o declare_v thy_o case_n good_a by_o such_o assure_a evidence_n as_o thou_o may_v safe_o build_v upon_o then_o hold_v there_o and_o believe_v nothing_o to_o the_o contrary_a search_v yourselves_o but_o still_o do_v it_o by_o the_o word_n of_o god_n if_o this_o course_n be_v take_v and_o well_o observe_v where_o there_o be_v thousand_o of_o complaint_n among_o christian_n there_o will_v be_v scarce_o one_o for_o my_o brethren_n the_o ground_n of_o all_o our_o feebleness_n and_o distrust_n and_o distemper_n lie_v especial_o in_o this_o that_o we_o neglect_v our_o ground_n and_o do_v not_o fix_v upon_o those_o truth_n which_o god_n have_v reveal_v and_o make_v know_v unto_o we_o either_o public_o or_o private_o hold_v this_o therefore_o for_o ever_o as_o the_o best_a direction_n i_o can_v give_v thou_o if_o my_o soul_n shall_v be_v condemn_v the_o word_n of_o god_n shall_v condemn_v it_o if_o i_o must_v judge_v myself_o to_o have_v no_o grace_n the_o word_n of_o god_n shall_v say_v it_o if_o i_o must_v conclude_v salvation_n as_o yet_o belong_v not_o unto_o i_o it_o shall_v be_v because_o the_o word_n say_v so_o and_o not_o because_o satan_n or_o my_o own_o imagination_n say_v so_o this_o carry_v thousand_o of_o poor_a soul_n into_o manifold_a distemper_n because_o they_o settle_v not_o themselves_o upon_o the_o truth_n of_o god_n which_o always_o stand_v as_o mount_v zion_n unmoveable_a and_o will_v make_v they_o rest_v in_o abundance_n of_o peace_n in_o the_o midst_n of_o all_o those_o disquiet_n that_o be_v raise_v by_o satan_n and_o our_o own_o distrustful_a heart_n last_o in_o a_o word_n do_v the_o lord_n himself_o call_v for_o and_o require_v this_o at_o our_o hand_n the_o lord_n i_o say_v who_o only_o have_v right_a and_o authority_n to_o command_v we_o do_v he_o enjoin_v we_o when_o he_o speak_v to_o hear_v and_o obey_v oh_o now_o therefore_o though_o a_o unworthy_a minister_n can_v persuade_v you_o to_o yield_v up_o yourselves_o to_o the_o practice_n of_o this_o duty_n yet_o let_v the_o lord_n himself_o prevail_v with_o you_o and_o woe_n to_o that_o soul_n that_o will_v not_o be_v persuade_v by_o the_o lord_n himself_o take_v notice_n

in_o the_o fear_n of_o god_n observe_v that_o which_o christ_n himself_o injoyn_v and_o so_o often_o call_v for_o in_o the_o second_o and_o and_o three_o chapter_n of_o the_o revelation_n he_o that_o
