they_o will_v return_v from_o the_o vanity_n of_o their_o course_n unto_o god_n and_o labour_n for_o a_o state_n of_o righteousness_n there_o be_v many_o argument_n in_o scripture_n to_o enforce_v

of_o a_o holy_a communion_n with_o god_n and_o those_o of_o a_o holy_a conversation_n before_o god_n two_o great_a argument_n to_o enforce_v this_o exhortation_n may_v be_v draw_v from_o my_o discourse_n 1._o this_o be_v the_o only_a way_n to_o behold_v the_o lord_n face_n no_o way_n to_o behold_v god_n face_n in_o this_o life_n but_o in_o righteousness_n no_o hope_n hereafter_o to_o behold_v his_o face_n in_o glory_n but_o in_o righteousness_n man_n may_v please_v themselves_o with_o dream_n and_o flatter_v themselves_o with_o vain_a hope_n but_o no_o man_n in_o this_o life_n see_v any_o thing_n of_o god_n no_o man_n enjoy_v any_o thing_n of_o god_n but_o the_o righteous_a man_n the_o lord_n hear_v not_o sinner_n the_o lord_n accept_v not_o the_o unrighteous_a person_n nor_o can_v any_o without_o righteousness_n ever_o hope_v to_o behold_v the_o face_n of_o the_o lord_n in_o glory_n those_o who_o be_v not_o clothe_v with_o the_o righteousness_n of_o christ_n shall_v indeed_o behold_v the_o lord_n face_n in_o the_o day_n of_o judgement_n but_o it_o shall_v be_v his_o angry_a face_n and_o it_o shall_v be_v against_o their_o will_n that_o they_o behold_v the_o

to_o hide_v they_o from_o he_o who_o sit_v on_o the_o throne_n they_o indeed_o shall_v be_v fill_v but_o it_o shall_v be_v with_o their_o own_o way_n for_o the_o recompense_n of_o their_o hand_n shall_v be_v give_v they_o and_o with_o the_o lord_n wrath_n and_o vengeance_n on_o they_o for_o their_o sin_n for_o this_o they_o shall_v have_v at_o the_o lord_n hand_n they_o shall_v lie_v down_o in_o sorrow_n those_o alone_a who_o while_o they_o live_v behold_v the_o face_n of_o god_n in_o righteousness_n shall_v enjoy_v any_o thing_n of_o god_n here_o or_o in_o the_o life_n which_o be_v to_o

no_o small_a thing_n that_o righteous_a person_n have_v enough_o in_o this_o life_n even_o in_o their_o dark_a hour_n to_o give_v they_o satisfaction_n a_o sinner_n have_v not_o enough_o when_o he_o be_v at_o the_o full_a to_o give_v he_o a_o satisfaction_n his_o eye_n even_o then_o will_v not_o be_v satisfy_v with_o see_v nor_o his_o ear_n with_o hear_v nor_o his_o hand_n with_o gripe_v he_o will_v never_o have_v enough_o yet_o in_o his_o life_n he_o take_v his_o portion_n son_n remember_v say_v abraham_n in_o that_o parable_n luk._n 16._o 24._o that_o in_o thy_o life_n time_n thou_o have_v thy_o good_a thing_n but_o now_o see_v the_o state_n of_o a_o child_n of_o god_n take_v he_o when_o he_o be_v low_a he_o have_v what_o be_v reasonable_o enough_o to_o give_v he_o satisfaction_n it_o may_v be_v he_o have_v not_o at_o all_o time_n his_o overflowing_n of_o joy_n his_o spiritual_a superfluity_n as_o i_o may_v call_v they_o but_o he_o have_v the_o perpetual_a feast_n of_o a_o good_a conscience_n be_v not_o these_o two_o thing_n enough_o to_o persuade_v some_o soul_n into_o a_o study_n and_o labour_n after_o righteousness_n be_v it_o nothing_o to_o have_v communion_n with_o god_n to_o behold_v his_o face_n it_o be_v the_o happiness_n of_o the_o bless_a angel_n to_o be_v ever_o behold_v the_o face_n of_o god_n and_o certain_o man_n be_v not_o capable_a of_o a_o

of_o death_n shall_v take_v the_o terror_n of_o it_o off_o our_o spirit_n no_o man_n be_v afraid_a to_o go_v to_o sleep_v why_o shall_v we_o be_v more_o afraid_a to_o die_v but_o for_o unbelief_n and_o a_o reprove_v conscience_n 2._o be_v it_o indeed_o a_o perpetual_a sleep_n there_o will_v be_v less_o of_o relief_n in_o it_o but_o there_o shall_v be_v a_o awake_n out_o of_o this_o sleep_n though_o the_o night_n be_v long_o there_o shall_v be_v a_o morning_n this_o doctrine_n of_o the_o resurrection_n be_v indeed_o the_o great_a argument_n of_o comfort_n against_o death_n the_o

solve_n with_o these_o word_n 3._o but_o yet_o the_o feast_n to_o which_o we_o shall_v awake_v in_o the_o resurrection_n be_v of_o a_o further_a consequence_n to_o relieve_v we_o under_o disturbance_n of_o this_o nature_n this_o be_v that_o which_o clear_v the_o martyr_n that_o although_o he_o have_v a_o ill_a supper_n he_o shall_v have_v a_o good_a breakfast_n the_o sleep_n of_o death_n be_v not_o like_o the_o sleep_n the_o prophet_n speak_v of_o when_o a_o man_n dream_v he_o be_v at_o a_o feast_n and_o when_o he_o awake_v behold_v he_o be_v a_o hungry_a indeed_o there_o be_v no_o dream_v in_o this_o sleep_n but_o when_o the_o child_n of_o god_n awake_v from_o it_o in_o the_o resurrection_n he_o shall_v awake_v to_o a_o feast_n not_o a_o imaginary_a but_o a_o real_a feast_n where_o he_o shall_v be_v fill_v with_o the_o likeness_n of_o god_n to_o all_o eternity_n 3._o branch_n last_o what_o we_o have_v hear_v administer_v great_a consolation_n to_o such_o as_o mourn_v for_o their_o

judge_v of_o love_n or_o hate_v by_o all_o that_o be_v before_o he_o 1._o eccles_n 9_o 1._o for_o it_o may_v fall_v out_o alike_o to_o he_o that_o be_v spiritual_o wise_a and_o to_o he_o that_o be_v spiritual_o a_o fool_n 2._o partly_o by_o mind_v she_o of_o what_o the_o apostle_n tell_v we_o that_o god_n chasten_v who_o he_o 6._o heb._n 12._o 6._o love_v and_o scourge_v every_o one_o who_o he_o receive_v 3._o partly_o argue_v thus_o with_o she_o if_o affliction_n be_v token_n of_o divine_a wrath_n than_o health_n and_o prosperity_n be_v sign_n of_o divine_a love_n which_o be_v evident_o self_n 4._o part_o by_o remember_v she_o of_o the_o many_o example_n of_o god_n child_n in_o scripture_n to_o who_o god_n have_v wring_v out_o bitter_a water_n in_o a_o full_a cup_n who_o yet_o at_o that_o time_n when_o they_o be_v so_o afflict_v be_v undoubted_o belove_v of_o god_n and_o exceed_v precious_a in_o his_o eye_n such_o be_v joseph_n david_n job_n daniel_n and_o many_o other_o record_v in_o scripture_n with_o these_o and_o such_o like_a argument_n i_o have_v satisfy_v her_o sanctify_a reason_n and_o judgement_n and_o think_v i_o shall_v have_v hear_v no_o more_o of_o this_o temptation_n but_o soon_o after_o it_o be_v enforce_v two_o thing_n she_o have_v to_o say_v 1._o the_o greatness_n of_o her_o affliction_n speak_v more_o than_o a_o chastisement_n with_o a_o rod_n she_o be_v scourge_v with_o scorpion_n 2._o the_o lord_n multiply_v affliction_n and_o repeat_v sad_a providence_n to_o she_o seem_v to_o argue_v that_o he_o have_v a_o quarrel_n against_o she_o why_o else_o shall_v he_o return_v upon_o her_o body_n when_o he_o have_v serve_v a_o execution_n upon_o all_o she_o have_v beside_o to_o this_o i_o reply_v 1._o that_o the_o affliction_n of_o god_n people_n be_v not_o call_v chastisement_n because_o they_o be_v l●ght_v or_o little_a but_o because_o they_o come_v from_o the_o hand_n of_o a_o gracious_a father_n not_o as_o legal_a demand_n of_o satisfaction_n to_o divine_a justice_n offend_v because_o they_o flow_v from_o a_o principle_n of_o love_n not_o of_o wrath_n and_o be_v design_v to_o a_o gracious_a end_n 2._o that_o for_o the_o multitude_n of_o they_o job_n have_v as_o many_o yet_o be_v a_o person_n singular_o belove_v of_o god_n and_o one_o of_o who_o god_n give_v testimony_n that_o there_o be_v not_o one_o like_o he_o in_o all_o the_o east_n 3._o that_o as_o the_o affliction_n of_o job_n be_v of_o divers_a hand_n and_o exceed_v heavy_a so_o the_o succession_n of_o they_o be_v much_o like_a to_o she_o god_n first_o take_v away_o his_o child_n than_o his_o estate_n and_o last_o of_o all_o let_v loose_a satan_n upon_o his_o person_n and_o give_v he_o a_o liberty_n to_o tempt_v he_o with_o these_o and_o such_o like_a consideration_n i_o endeavour_v to_o arm_v she_o against_o this_o fiery_a dart_n at_o last_o it_o please_v he_o who_o be_v therefore_o tempt_v that_o he_o may_v be_v able_a to_o succour_v those_o that_o be_v tempt_v by_o his_o mighty_a power_n to_o lift_v she_o over_o this_o stone_n of_o stumble_v and_o she_o become_v full_o satisfy_v that_o she_o can_v neither_o from_o the_o greatness_n nor_o multitude_n of_o her_o trial_n conclude_v any_o thing_n against_o the_o love_n of_o god_n to_o she_o 2._o tempt_v if_o during_o her_o affliction_n she_o do_v not_o also_o want_v the_o inward_a consolation_n of_o the_o holy_a spirit_n but_o alas_o say_v she_o i_o have_v no_o inward_a assurance_n of_o god_n love_n no_o sensible_a consolation_n etc._n etc._n perceive_v that_o her_o adversary_n have_v betake_v himself_o to_o a_o new_a battery_n i_o endeavour_v to_o direct_v she_o in_o the_o use_n of_o the_o armour_n of_o god_n for_o the_o repel_v of_o his_o dart_n throw_v from_o hence_o by_o offer_v to_o her_o consideration_n 1._o that_o even_o god_n dear_a child_n have_v often_o want_v these_o influence_n of_o the_o spirit_n what_o else_o make_v david_n cry_v out_o when_o will_v thou_o comfort_v i_o and_o vestor●_n unto_o i_o the_o joy_n of_o thy_o salvation_n what_o else_o make_v the_o spouse_n cant._n 3_o 1._o at_o such_o a_o loss_n for_o he_o who_o her_o soul_n love_v what_o else_o cause_v those_o sad_a complaint_n of_o the_o psalmist_n psal_n 77._o to_o this_o she_o reply_v that_o it_o be_v true_a but_o sure_o if_o she_o indeed_o have_v any_o interest_n in_o god_n he_o will_v not_o hide_v himself_o from_o one_o so_o press_v with_o affliction_n as_o she_o be_v god_n indeed_o may_v thus_o try_v his_o child_n in_o health_n and_o at_o liberty_n but_o will_v a_o tender_a father_n so_o hide_v himself_o from_o so_o distress_a and_o a_o die_a child_n this_o be_v hard_a to_o imagine_v of_o god_n who_o be_v love_n i_o reply_v to_o this_o purpose_n that_o sensible_a consolation_n be_v not_o the_o necessary_n of_o salvation_n 2._o that_o the_o love_n of_o god_n to_o his_o child_n be_v far_o more_o see_v in_o give_v the_o soul_n necessary_n than_o accommodate_v it_o with_o superfluity_n 3._o that_o god_n be_v no_o where_n in_o scripture_n tie_v by_o his_o promise_n to_o saint_n for_o the_o comfort_n of_o assurance_n to_o be_v give_v they_o in_o at_o this_o or_o that_o hour_n 4._o that_o it_o be_v a_o very_a great_a mistake_n in_o christian_n to_o judge_v they_o want_v the_o manifestation_n of_o the_o spirit_n because_o they_o want_v these_o consolatory_a reflection_n for_o the_o spirit_n manife_v itself_o in_o the_o soul_n as_o well_o by_o the_o influence_n of_o strengthen_v and_o quicken_a as_o comfort_v grace_n and_o the_o witnessing_n of_o it_o that_o david_n be_v become_v like_o a_o bottle_n in_o the_o smoke_n that_o his_o eye_n fail_v for_o god_n word_n say_v when_o will_v thou_o comfort_v i_o psal_n 119._o 82_o 83._o yet_o he_o be_v at_o that_o time_n god_n child_n yea_o the_o man_n according_a to_o his_o heart_n that_o job_n also_o as_o might_n be_v gather_v from_o several_a passage_n in_o his_o book_n often_o want_v these_o sensible_a manifestation_n at_o last_o i_o commend_v a_o sermon_n upon_o that_o subject_n to_o she_o after_o the_o read_n of_o which_o her_o spirit_n be_v more_o compose_v and_o she_o satisfy_v that_o if_o she_o can_v but_o find_v the_o strengthen_n and_o quicken_a influence_n of_o divine_a grace_n she_o have_v no_o reason_n for_o want_v of_o sensible_a consolation_n to_o conclude_v against_o herself_o 3_o tempt_v satan_n perceive_v this_o fiery_a dart_n well_o nigh_o quench_v betake_v he_o again_o to_o his_o quiver_n for_o another_o arrow_n his_o next_o device_n be_v to_o persuade_v she_o that_o she_o want_v also_o the_o strengthen_v grace_n of_o god_n soon_o after_o i_o hear_v she_o speak_v to_o this_o sense_n it_o be_v true_a sir_n if_o i_o can_v but_o find_v the_o grace_n of_o god_n strengthen_v i_o unto_o duty_n against_o sin_n i_o think_v i_o ought_v not_o to_o cast_v away_o my_o hope_n though_o i_o do_v want_n assurance_n that_o i_o

she_o tell_v i_o it_o be_v true_a she_o have_v learn_v from_o the_o apostle_n rom._n 8._o 11._o that_o if_o she_o have_v the_o spirit_n of_o christ_n she_o be_v he_o which_o way_n soever_o the_o
