my_o pardon_v mercy_n and_o shall_v my_o creature_n seek_v after_o it_o for_o no_o other_o end_n nor_o high_a aim_n but_o mere_o to_o save_v their_o own_o skin_n you_o bring_v down_o the_o grace_n

be_v a_o great_a dishonour_n to_o his_o grace_n 2._o it_o be_v the_o worst_a time_n because_o you_o come_v to_o seek_v after_o pardon_v grace_n when_o it_o be_v the_o time_n of_o god_n wrath_n prov._n 11.4_o the_o time_n of_o affliction_n and_o trouble_v sickness_n and_o death_n be_v call_v the_o day_n of_o wrath_n riches_n avail_v not_o in_o the_o day_n of_o god_n wrath_n riches_n avail_v for_o

needs_o be_v the_o worst_a time_n that_o possible_a can_v be_v i_o reason_v thus_o and_o consider_v of_o it_o if_o god_n do_v deny_v his_o mercy_n in_o the_o day_n of_o mercy_n be_v it_o likely_a that_o he_o will_v grant_v mercy_n in_o the_o day_n of_o wrath_n while_o you_o be_v alive_a and_o have_v liberty_n health_n and_o opportunity_n to_o come_v to_o hear_v the_o doctrine_n of_o the_o

now_o if_o god_n deny_v you_o grace_n in_o this_o day_n of_o mercy_n that_o you_o be_v not_o so_o much_o as_o enlighten_v your_o soul_n melt_v and_o your_o heart_n stir_v do_v you_o think_v that_o now_o you_o be_v upon_o your_o sick-bed_n or_o deathbed_n which_o be_v a_o day_n of_o wrath_n unto_o you_o for_o so_o it_o be_v to_o those_o that_o have_v not_o their_o sin_n pardon_v before_o it_o be_v a_o day_n of_o wrath_n and_o god_n time_n of_o visit_v for_o sin_n be_v it_o likely_a that_o god_n will_v now_o show_v thou_o mercy_n i_o beseech_v you_o consider_v the_o usual_a way_n of_o god_n work_v on_o man_n be_v according_a to_o his_o ordinance_n now_o the_o ordinary_a way_n of_o god_n convey_v grace_n be_v by_o the_o ministry_n of_o the_o word_n do_v god_n ever_o appoint_v any_o

in_o his_o own_o appoint_a way_n it_o be_v not_o likely_a he_o will_v come_v any_o other_o way_n i_o remember_v in_o a_o treatise_n of_o mr._n bolton_n he_o have_v this_o expression_n let_v any_o

before_o in_o the_o ordinance_n of_o grace_n wrought_v upon_o they_o than_o it_o must_v needs_o be_v the_o worst_a time_n that_o can_v be_v to_o seek_v pardon_n of_o sin_n in_o a_o day_n of_o trouble_n or_o affliction_n because_o that_o be_v usual_o a_o time_n of_o god_n wrath_n visit_v for_o sin_n 3._o the_o work_n of_o the_o soul_n in_o seek_v after_o god_n pardon_v mercy_n and_o apply_v of_o it_o to_o himself_o as_o it_o be_v the_o excellent_a work_n that_o ever_o a_o creature_n do_v perform_v so_o it_o do_v require_v the_o most_o exquisite_a work_n of_o the_o spirit_n that_o ever_o be_v require_v or_o that_o ever_o any_o creature_n be_v set_v about_o it_o be_v the_o most_o intensive_a work_n of_o the_o spirit_n of_o man_n the_o applying_z of_o the_o grace_n of_o god_n in_o christ_n and_o the_o close_n with_o it_o for_o justification_n it_o be_v the_o high_a most_o exquisite_a most_o glorious_a and_o most_o admirable_a work_n of_o the_o spirit_n of_o man_n that_o ever_o be_v in_o the_o world_n and_o it_o require_v the_o great_a intenseness_n and_o strength_n of_o a_o man_n spirit_n that_o ever_o any_o work_n do_v now_o then_o to_o put_v this_o off_o till_o such_o a_o time_n as_o a_o man_n strength_n be_v go_v and_o he_o through_o disease_n unfit_a for_o any_o thing_n and_o when_o as_o all_o the_o strength_n he_o have_v will_v be_v little_a enough_o to_o help_v he_o to_o bear_v his_o pain_n this_o must_v needs_o be_v the_o worst_a time_n you_o be_v mistake_v if_o you_o think_v the_o apply_v of_o god_n mercy_n in_o christ_n be_v but_o in_o say_v lord_n have_v mercy_n upon_o i_o no_o it_o be_v god_n put_v the_o heart_n of_o man_n to_o do_v the_o most_o glorious_a work_n that_o have_v the_o great_a operation_n in_o it_o that_o ever_o he_o do_v i_o remember_v it_o relate_v of_o one_o that_o live_v wicked_o and_o divers_a seek_v to_o reclaim_v he_o say_v he_o come_v when_o i_o be_o upon_o my_o sick_a bed_n that_o be_v time_n enough_o and_o afterward_o he_o be_v sick_a be_v put_v in_o mind_n of_o it_o you_o say_v you_o will_v do_v it_o then_o but_o then_o he_o swear_v a_o great_a oath_n say_v what_o be_v this_o a_o time_n to_o repent_v in_o because_o he_o then_o feel_v so_o much_o trouble_v and_o anguish_n that_o take_v up_o his_o thought_n that_o he_o be_v stir_v with_o indignation_n to_o be_v put_v upon_o repent_v then_o in_o a_o time_n when_o he_o feel_v so_o much_o dolour_n of_o spirit_n by_o the_o pain_n that_o be_v upon_o he_o be_v this_o a_o time_n to_o repent_v in_o if_o that_o be_v not_o then_o do_v it_o betimes_o 4._o it_o be_v the_o worst_a time_n because_o god_n shall_v lose_v a_o great_a part_n of_o his_o end_n in_o pardon_v sin_n for_o when_o god_n pardon_v sin_n it_o be_v to_o this_o end_n that_o his_o poor_a creature_n may_v honour_v and_o worship_v he_o in_o ●his_fw-la world_n and_o do_v he_o service_n but_o now_o to_o seek_v for_o god_n pardon_v grace_n when_o thou_o can_v do_v he_o no_o more_o service_n in_o this_o world_n how_o can_v thou_o think_v that_o he_o will_v accept_v thou_o then_o he_o come_v to_o redeem_v we_o that_o we_o may_v serve_v he_o in_o holiness_n and_o righteousness_n all_o the_o day_n of_o our_o life_n and_o he_o know_v there_o be_v no_o such_o way_n to_o engage_v the_o heart_n of_o man_n to_o serve_v he_o as_o pardon_v grace_n for_o when_o once_o a_o soul_n see_v itself_o deliver_v from_o those_o enemy_n of_o sin_n and_o of_o the_o law_n that_o will_v destroy_v he_o his_o heart_n will_v be_v mighty_o set_v to_o honour_n god_n and_o serve_v he_o in_o holiness_n and_o righteousness_n all_o his_o day_n and_o therefore_o to_o seek_v for_o pardon_v when_o thou_o can_v do_v god_n no_o more_o service_n in_o this_o world_n must_v needs_o be_v the_o worst_a time_n for_o how_o know_v thou_o that_o he_o will_v accept_v thou_o then_o i_o beseech_v you_o observe_v one_o text_n of_o scripture_n that_o be_v abuse_v by_o many_o people_n for_o i_o suppose_v that_o i_o be_o speak_v to_o a_o great_a many_o very_a ignorant_a in_o the_o way_n of_o god_n and_o therefore_o i_o desire_v to_o speak_v plain_o unto_o you_o there_o be_v one_o place_n though_o misapprehend_v and_o mistake_v that_o be_v the_o main_a prop_n of_o many_o carnal_a heart_n as_o it_o be_v read_v in_o some_o book_n at_o what_o time_n soever_o a_o sinner_n repent_v etc._n etc._n i_o know_v no_o such_o

thou_o that_o although_o thou_o do_v want_v the_o present_a sense_n of_o the_o work_n of_o god_n upon_o thou_o yet_o thy_o heart_n belong_v after_o god_n and_o thou_o be_v unsatisfied_a in_o this_o

have_v have_v heretofore_o and_o wait_v upon_o god_n for_o his_o return_n again_o for_o he_o will_v come_v and_o thy_o soul_n shall_v rejoice_v again_o in_o he_o as_o that_o martyr_n mr._n glover_n a_o little_a before_o he_o suffer_v the_o spirit_n of_o god_n seem_v to_o leave_v he_o and_o he_o be_v in_o extreme_a darkness_n and_o have_v no_o feel_n of_o any_o evidence_n of_o god_n love_n to_o he_o yet_o he_o be_v to_o die_v the_o next_o day_n and_o all_o his_o evidence_n be_v lose_v in_o his_o own_o apprehension_n yet_o his_o friend_n tell_v he_o that_o god_n will_v appear_v and_o desire_v

yet_o no_o sense_n or_o evidence_n of_o god_n love_n but_o when_o he_o be_v tie_v to_o the_o stake_n he_o cry_v out_o he_o be_v come_v he_o be_v come_v so_o that_o you_o must_v not_o argue_v because_o you_o have_v no_o present_a sense_n that_o therefore_o you_o have_v no_o evidence_n of_o your_o good_a condition_n but_o if_o you_o have_v have_v it_o heretofore_o you_o may_v build_v upon_o it_o that_o your_o state_n be_v good_a although_o you_o have_v no_o present_a sense_n that_o be_v the_o second_o rule_n the_o three_o rule_n be_v this_o to_o help_v you_o how_o to_o make_v use_n of_o sign_n when_o you_o will_v put_v yourselves_o on_o trial_n you_o must_v take_v heed_n you_o do_v not_o cast_v your_o estate_n for_o the_o trial_n of_o yourselves_o on_o time_n of_o temptation_n judge_v not_o of_o your_o estate_n by_o what_o you_o find_v and_o feel_v in_o time_n of_o temptation_n for_o they_o be_v very_o unfit_a time_n to_o determine_v your_o condition_n upon_o a_o trial_n then_o as_o when_o temptation_n be_v exceed_o strong_a and_o horror_n and_o fear_n come_v into_o the_o soul_n and_o perhaps_o some_o hear_v may_v know_v what_o i_o mean_v when_o i_o speak_v of_o horror_n and_o fear_n come_v in_o strong_o upon_o they_o than_o it_o be_v a_o time_n that_o you_o have_v rather_o need_v to_o call_v upon_o god_n and_o fall_v down_o upon_o your_o knee_n to_o prayer_n then_o to_o look_v to_o the_o trial_n and_o examination_n of_o yourselves_o at_o that_o time_n it_o be_v with_o many_o in_o this_o case_n as_o it_o have_v be_v with_o some_o that_o have_v be_v strike_v with_o horror_n of_o death_n before_o the_o judge_n and_o have_v have_v the_o book_n give_v they_o to_o read_v though_o they_o have_v be_v good_a scholar_n and_o able_a to_o read_v before_o yet_o when_o the_o horror_n of_o death_n have_v be_v so_o upon_o they_o they_o have_v not_o be_v able_a to_o read_v one_o word_n and_o so_o it_o be_v with_o many_o of_o god_n child_n in_o time_n of_o strong_a temptation_n they_o be_v not_o able_a to_o read_v their_o evidence_n as_o child_n when_o their_o eye_n be_v blear_v and_o blind_v give_v they_o the_o book_n and_o they_o can_v read_v thereon_o so_o when_o your_o heart_n be_v under_o great_a temptation_n and_o affliction_n this_o be_v not_o a_o time_n of_o trial_n then_o by_o the_o way_n if_o it_o be_v not_o for_o a_o godly_a man_n much_o less_o for_o a_o wicked_a man_n many_o wicked_a man_n put_v it_o off_o to_o the_o day_n of_o death_n and_o never_o so_o much_o as_o put_v themselves_o to_o trial_n till_o horror_n of_o conscience_n or_o fear_n of_o death_n put_v they_o upon_o it_o it_o be_v a_o ill_a time_n for_o god_n people_n to_o try_v themselves_o then_o suppose_v you_o will_v weigh_v gold_n you_o will_v not_o do_v it_o in_o a_o storm_n or_o wind_n the_o trial_n of_o our_o estate_n be_v like_o the_o weigh_v of_o gold_n for_o we_o be_v to_o weigh_v ourselves_o by_o the_o balance_n of_o the_o sanctuary_n that_o we_o may_v know_v whether_o we_o shall_v be_v weight_n when_o god_n come_v to_o weigh_v we_o for_o every_o soul_n must_v be_v weigh_v and_o woe_n be_v to_o those_o to_o who_o god_n shall_v say_v as_o he_o do_v to_o belshazzar_n when_o the_o hand-writing_n appear_v upon_o the_o wall_n it_o be_v so_o terrible_a to_o he_o that_o his_o knee_n smite_v one_o against_o another_o but_o what_o be_v that_o thou_o be_v weigh_v in_o the_o balance_n and_o be_v find_v too_o light_a such_o a_o hand_n will_v many_o find_v one_o day_n poor_a soul_n that_o think_v thyself_o in_o a_o good_a

balance_n of_o the_o sanctuary_n when_o you_o weigh_v gold_n you_o must_v not_o hold_v the_o scale_n in_o the_o midst_n of_o wind_n storm_n and_o tempest_n that_o hurry_v the_o balance_n up_o and_o

and_o the_o heavy_a uppermost_a but_o if_o you_o hold_v they_o in_o a_o still_a place_n you_o may_v try_v to_o a_o grain_n so_o the_o soul_n of_o man_n be_v like_o the_o scale_n in_o the_o wind_n in_o a_o time_n of_o temptation_n thou_o will_v have_v enough_o to_o come_v in_o to_o turn_v the_o balance_n lift_v it_o up_o and_o make_v thou_o seem_v too_o light_a and_o therefore_o when_o you_o will_v weigh_v your_o condition_n do_v it_o when_o your_o heart_n be_v compose_v and_o you_o be_v yourselves_o when_o your_o heart_n be_v quiet_a then_o lay_v your_o soul_n to_o the_o balance_n many_o
