hearken_v to_o a_o temptation_n of_o this_o nature_n must_v be_v a_o freedom_n from_o some_o present_a evil_n or_o some_o imminent_a evil._n chap._n v._n what_o be_v to_o be_v do_v by_o christian_n to_o prevent_v such_o impression_n the_o first_o direction_n to_o take_v heed_n to_o ourselves_o as_o to_o the_o prevailing_n of_o melancholy_n what_o mean_v to_o be_v use_v in_o order_n thereto_o

what_o in_o this_o discourse_n i_o do_v chief_o intend_v viz._n to_o show_v what_o be_v to_o be_v do_v in_o the_o case_n of_o this_o temptation_n either_o for_o the_o prevent_v these_o impression_n or_o second_o for_o the_o resist_a of_o they_o if_o we_o find_v they_o be_v come_v to_o temptation_n i_o will_v discourse_v a_o little_a large_o upon_o the_o first_o head_n for_o as_o we_o say_v prevent_v physic_n be_v the_o best_a physic_n it_o do_v at_o least_o save_o the_o patient_a a_o great_a deal_n of_o pain_n and_o trouble_n and_o what_o we_o say_v in_o another_o case_n turpius_fw-la

of_o this_o temptation_n but_o there_o be_v none_o of_o we_o all_o but_o for_o aught_o we_o know_v may_v come_v under_o this_o burden_n which_o other_o have_v find_v too_o heavy_a for_o they_o to_o

be_v impossible_a to_o tell_v you_o how_o far_o the_o wisdom_n of_o god_n may_v or_o may_v not_o think_v fit_a to_o try_v any_o of_o you_o and_o in_o order_n to_o it_o to_o let_v loose_a satan_n against_o you_o nor_o how_o far_o lust_n and_o corruption_n may_v prevail_v in_o any_o of_o you_o i_o shall_v only_o advise_v the_o most_o probable_a mean_n 1._o in_o the_o first_o place_n take_v heed_n as_o to_o your_o bodily_a health_n with_o respect_n to_o melancholy_n experience_n tell_v we_o that_o few_o religious_a soul_n be_v infest_a with_o these_o impression_n but_o such_o as_o be_v cloister_v in_o melancholic_a body_n melancholy_n prevail_a darken_v our_o reason_n that_o we_o be_v not_o able_a to_o make_v true_a conclusion_n from_o gospel_n principle_n and_o the_o same_o experience_n also_o tell_v we_o that_o there_o be_v few_o even_o religious_a person_n that_o fall_v into_o great_a prevailing_n of_o melancholy_n if_o it_o abide_v long_o upon_o they_o but_o they_o have_v some_o or_o more_o impression_n of_o this_o nature_n although_o indeed_o in_o some_o they_o be_v weak_a in_o other_o they_o be_v strong_a some_o have_v they_o more_o often_o repeat_v other_o more_z seldom_o this_o therefore_o be_v high_o to_o be_v attend_v by_o every_o good_a christian_a who_o dread_v the_o thought_n of_o so_o dark_a a_o hour_n of_o temptation_n as_o this_o be_v for_o although_o as_o i_o tell_v you_o in_o the_o former_a part_n of_o my_o discourse_n i_o do_v believe_v every_o child_n of_o god_n have_v the_o seed_n of_o god_n so_o far_o abide_v in_o he_o as_o he_o shall_v never_o murder_v himself_o yet_o the_o prevailing_n of_o this_o distemper_n may_v so_o far_o distract_v he_o for_o aught_o i_o know_v that_o he_o may_v kill_v himself_o as_o well_o as_o one_o in_o another_o distraction_n by_o a_o fever_n or_o the_o like_a which_o take_v away_o the_o use_n of_o his_o reason_n and_o this_o be_v very_o sad_a and_o uncomfortable_a beside_o if_o it_o shall_v not_o rise_v so_o high_a yet_o the_o best_a of_o christian_n may_v have_v a_o long_a trouble_n and_o disquietude_n give_v he_o from_o such_o motion_n and_o solicitation_n though_o final_o they_o do_v not_o so_o far_o prevail_v against_o he_o if_o you_o therefore_o love_v your_o soul_n the_o peace_n quiet_a and_o comfort_n of_o they_o if_o you_o will_v avoid_v the_o trouble_n and_o disturbance_n of_o these_o temptation_n and_o impression_n take_v heed_n of_o the_o prevailing_n of_o this_o humour_n you_o will_v say_v to_o i_o what_o can_v we_o do_v in_o this_o case_n i_o answer_v there_o be_v natural_a and_o moral_a or_o civil_a and_o religious_a mean_n to_o be_v use_v do_v not_o neglect_v they_o 1._o the_o natural_a mean_n be_v such_o medicine_n or_o prescription_n as_o learned_a physician_n who_o be_v doubtless_o god_n ordinance_n in_o this_o case_n shall_v judge_v fit_a to_o direct_v and_o prescribe_v i_o have_v not_o without_o a_o great_a deal_n of_o trouble_n sometime_o observe_v the_o stubbornness_n of_o some_o in_o other_o thing_n intelligent_a christian_n as_o to_o this_o particular_a o_o they_o will_v tell_v you_o physician_n can_v do_v they_o no_o good_a god_n must_v cure_v god_n must_v heal_v they_o and_o who_o deni_v but_o that_o it_o be_v god_n must_v heal_v they_o but_o it_o be_v every_o whit_n as_o rational_a to_o say_v you_o will_v eat_v no_o meat_n or_o drink_v no_o drink_n it_o be_v god_n that_o must_v maintain_v your_o soul_n in_o life_n as_o to_o say_v when_o you_o be_v under_o great_a and_o more_o dangerous_a bodily_a distemper_n you_o will_v take_v no_o physic_n use_v no_o mean_n because_o it_o be_v god_n must_v heal_v you_o because_o god_n must_v heal_v we_o must_v he_o therefore_o work_v a_o miracle_n in_o do_v it_o for_o we_o or_o do_v not_o god_n do_v it_o ordinary_o by_o his_o concurrence_n with_o natural_a mean_n in_o which_o he_o have_v create_v a_o natural_a virtue_n in_o order_n to_o that_o end_n it_o be_v true_a sometime_o physician_n prove_v of_o no_o value_n in_o the_o case_n but_o it_o be_v as_o true_a that_o very_a often_o god_n do_v concur_v with_o and_o bless_v natural_a mean_n and_o i_o have_v often_o know_v that_o the_o use_n of_o natural_a mean_n in_o the_o begin_n especial_o of_o these_o distemper_n where_o also_o this_o temptation_n have_v commence_v with_o this_o bodily_a distemper_n have_v both_o remove_v the_o distemper_n and_o the_o temptation_n also_o god_n will_v not_o please_v always_o to_o work_v certain_o and_o infallible_o with_o mean_n that_o we_o may_v know_v that_o our_o healing_n be_v from_o he_o there_o be_v beside_o these_o moral_a and_o rational_a mean_n to_o be_v use_v which_o though_o they_o do_v not_o as_o the_o other_o purge_v out_o the_o peccant_a humour_n yet_o hinder_v the_o increase_n and_o effect_n of_o it_o let_v i_o name_v some_o of_o they_o 1._o take_v heed_n about_o employ_v your_o sense_n about_o terrible_a object_n either_o see_v object_n that_o be_v apt_a to_o affright_v and_o terrify_v or_o hear_v relation_n or_o discourse_n of_o that_o nature_n or_o read_v book_n upon_o subject_n apt_a to_o affright_v and_o terrify_v when_o man_n and_o woman_n be_v under_o this_o distemper_n object_n very_o ordinary_o make_v very_o deep_a impression_n upon_o our_o fancy_n and_o as_o we_o ought_v at_o all_o time_n to_o avoid_v object_n that_o may_v feed_v our_o thought_n inclinable_a to_o the_o obedience_n of_o other_o lust_n so_o under_o this_o distemper_n we_o be_v equal_o concern_v to_o divert_v our_o sense_n from_o any_o object_n
