lord_n of_o host_n which_o be_v wonderful_a in_o counsel_n and_o excellent_a in_o work_v what_o be_v the_o meaning_n of_o that_o that_o that_o make_v the_o prophet_n cry_v out_o that_o the_o lord_n

you_o believe_v in_o god_n but_o not_o in_o christ_n my_o meaning_n be_v this_o your_o say_v be_v beget_v and_o breed_v according_a to_o the_o doctrine_n and_o principle_n of_o the_o old_a testament_n it_o be_v good_a and_o true_a but_o it_o be_v breed_v and_o nourish_v according_a to_o the_o principle_n and_o strain_n of_o the_o old_a testament_n which_o old_a testament_n say_v the_o apostle_n

way_n which_o appear_v three_o way_n first_o there_o be_v a_o heathenish_a desire_n of_o sanctification_n of_o holiness_n holiness_n be_v a_o bless_a thing_n and_o there_o be_v none_o desire_n more_o earnest_o sincere_o to_o be_v holy_a than_o the_o saint_n in_o the_o new_a testament_n holiness_n be_v upon_o the_o bridle_n of_o the_o horse_n of_o the_o church_n yet_o there_o be_v a_o desire_n of_o holiness_n in_o the_o soul_n that_o be_v legal_a faith_n that_o by_o the_o earnest_a desire_n of_o holiness_n a_o man_n may_v see_v the_o frame_n of_o his_o faith_n to_o be_v legal_a there_o may_v be_v a_o thirst_n that_o arise_v from_o a_o feverish_a distemper_n of_o body_n that_o be_v not_o good_a therefore_o true_o a_o man_n may_v desire_v holiness_n more_o than_o happiness_n as_o you_o be_v wont_a to_o express_v it_o he_o may_v desire_v holiness_n and_o to_o avoid_v sin_n more_o than_o hell_n itself_o and_o any_o thing_n in_o the_o world_n he_o may_v say_v he_o will_v not_o for_o a_o world_n but_o overcome_v his_o lust_n and_o o_o that_o i_o can_v overcome_v my_o frowardness_n and_o my_o pride_n and_o yet_o it_o may_v be_v a_o heathenish_a kind_n of_o thirst_n i_o have_v know_v people_n that_o have_v go_v every_o day_n to_o hear_v and_o have_v weep_v and_o desire_a holiness_n and_o yet_o out_o of_o a_o heathenish_a desire_n of_o holiness_n why_o what_o be_v the_o meaning_n of_o this_o how_o come_v this_o about_o the_o soul_n resolve_v to_o be_v justify_v and_o to_o find_v favour_n with_o god_n partly_o by_o the_o righteousness_n of_o christ_n and_o partly_o by_o some_o grace_n not_o that_o it_o have_v but_o that_o it_o hope_n to_o have_v therefore_o the_o soul_n as_o a_o feverish_a man_n reach_v out_o and_o lay_v down_o this_o conclusion_n i_o must_v be_v holy_a and_o there_o be_v some_o thing_n if_o i_o can_v reach_v they_o than_o i_o shall_v be_v well_o and_o so_o the_o fever_n grow_v high_a and_o high_o and_o god_n cross_v he_o for_o it_o be_v against_o the_o way_n of_o the_o gospel_n god_n will_v do_v no_o good_a to_o we_o if_o we_o go_v contrary_a to_o his_o glory_n therefore_o if_o we_o weep_v our_o heart_n out_o we_o shall_v not_o have_v it_o for_o it_o be_v a_o design_n of_o our_o own_o say_v god_n you_o will_v not_o be_v content_a with_o the_o righteousness_n of_o christ_n but_o you_o will_v have_v something_o to_o make_v it_o up_o you_o will_v believe_v and_o be_v holy_a but_o you_o shall_v go_v my_o way_n or_o not_o at_o all_o now_o a_o saint_n that_o be_v according_a to_o god_n mind_n first_o upon_o believe_v in_o jesus_n christ_n and_o his_o righteousness_n his_o soul_n be_v full_o satisfy_v and_o he_o be_v at_o peace_n he_o say_v lord_n whether_o i_o be_v holy_a or_o not_o i_o see_v a_o full_a righteousness_n in_o jesus_n christ_n to_o justify_v i_o and_o to_o sanctify_v i_o and_o pacify_v my_o conscience_n and_o lord_n here_o i_o be_o thou_o know_v that_o i_o have_v nothing_o but_o my_o old_a nature_n thou_o be_v wise_a all_o my_o sin_n be_v do_v away_o do_v with_o i_o what_o thou_o will_v if_o thou_o will_v put_v i_o to_o pain_n or_o into_o poverty_n or_o into_o hell_n or_o suffer_v i_o to_o go_v in_o rag_n all_o my_o life_n long_o do_v so_o as_o a_o godly_a man_n say_v if_o pride_n and_o frowardness_n must_v have_v its_o work_n though_o i_o have_v rather_o go_v to_o hell_n for_o the_o time_n yet_o here_o i_o be_o i_o rejoice_v in_o my_o spirit_n because_o i_o be_o accept_v of_o thou_o so_o here_o be_v a_o desire_n of_o holiness_n but_o it_o be_v not_o heathenish_a as_o if_o a_o man_n can_v have_v no_o assurance_n and_o comfort_n in_o his_o soul_n till_o he_o have_v get_v such_o a_o degree_n of_o grace_n these_o be_v feverish_a desire_n second_o it_o appear_v to_o i_o that_o your_o comfort_n be_v not_o right_a that_o your_o faith_n be_v not_o according_a to_o the_o gospel_n because_o of_o the_o startling_n in_o your_o conscience_n after_o sin_n that_o when_o god_n suffer_v the_o soul_n to_o be_v overtake_v and_o to_o fall_v the_o soul_n startle_v that_o be_v horror_n seize_v present_o upon_o the_o conscience_n and_o hardness_n upon_o the_o heart_n there_o be_v a_o startle_a that_o make_v a_o man_n that_o he_o can_v go_v on_o in_o his_o call_n that_o make_v all_o his_o neighbour_n take_v notice_n of_o he_o as_o if_o he_o be_v not_o his_o own_o man_n take_v it_o as_o a_o

to_o desire_v holiness_n but_o i_o say_v there_o be_v a_o heathenish_a desire_n of_o holiness_n and_o startle_v at_o sin_n that_o argue_v that_o the_o conscience_n be_v not_o quiet_v in_o christ_n object_n you_o will_v say_v when_o a_o saint_n fall_v into_o sin_n shall_v he_o take_v no_o notice_n of_o it_o answ_n yes_o and_o have_v no_o peace_n till_o he_o have_v pour_v out_o his_o soul_n to_o

that_o be_v one_o thing_n that_o in_o my_o serious_a thought_n i_o think_v god_n be_v offend_v with_o second_o as_o our_o formal_a humiliation_n so_o our_o feign_a reformation_n it_o be_v the_o

yet_o for_o all_o this_o her_o treacherous_a siste_v judah_n do_v not_o turn_v to_o i_o with_o her_o whole_a heart_n but_o feign_o here_o be_v a_o great_a deal_n of_o stir_n about_o reformation_n here_o be_v a_o great_a deal_n of_o cry_n but_o a_o little_a reality_n look_v to_o our_o congregation_n to_o our_o ordinance_n to_o every_o thing_n among_o we_o you_o may_v put_v all_o in_o a_o

this_o he_o refer_v to_o the_o saint_n that_o be_v upright_o and_o to_o comfort_v they_o he_o take_v a_o comparison_n from_o the_o husbandman_n that_o blow_v the_o field_n for_o the_o creature_n be_v

and_o harrow_n you_o and_o if_o the_o lord_n follow_v you_o with_o one_o affliction_n after_o another_o that_o whosoever_o escape_v you_o suffer_v if_o not_o without_o yet_o within_o and_o sometime_o you_o have_v both_o you_o think_v god_n deal_v wonderful_a strange_o with_o you_o say_v he_o look_v on_o the_o ploughman_n if_o ever_o you_o see_v one_o plough_n you_o will_v say_v yonder_o man_n do_v but_o plough_n and_o harrow_v the_o land_n and_o make_v it_o fit_a to_o sow_v barley_n or_o oat_n or_o wheat_n he_o have_v some_o end_n in_o it_o they_o be_v the_o common_a heath_n that_o lie_v unplow_a but_o where_o there_o be_v good_a ground_n they_o plough_v it_o and_o when_o he_o have_v plough_v it_o be_v his_o discretion_n to_o sow_v so_o it_o be_v that_o when_o the_o lord_n continue_v his_o affliction_n upon_o thou_o thou_o shall_v consider_v that_o god_n that_o be_v thy_o good_a father_n have_v some_o gracious_a design_n to_o sow_v barley_n or_o wheat_n or_o rye_n to_o sow_v some_o grace_n more_o and_o what_o though_o he_o plough_v thou_o or_o i_o or_o another_o more_o than_o other_o man_n or_o woman_n some_o land_n be_v plough_v thrice_o some_o four_o time_n beside_o the_o sow_a they_o be_v so_o tough_a and_o dogged_a so_o some_o nature_n must_v be_v oft_o and_o deep_o and_o long_o plough_v therefore_o stare_v not_o so_o much_o upon_o the_o affliction_n but_o consider_v the_o gracious_a design_n and_o purpose_n of_o god_n to_o sow_v thou_o and_o to_o do_v thou_o good_a thou_o and_o i_o have_v barren_a heart_n and_o there_o be_v little_a corn_n that_o be_v please_v to_o he_o there_o therefore_o he_o mean_v by_o the_o affliction_n that_o he_o lay_v on_o thou_o by_o such_o a_o sickness_n by_o such_o a_o perverse_a husband_n by_o such_o a_o ungracious_a child_n or_o loss_n of_o estate_n the_o lord_n mean_v to_o sow_v thy_o barren_a heart_n and_o then_o bless_v be_v his_o name_n if_o the_o lord_n do_v that_o thou_o may_v well_o suffer_v he_o to_o plough_v and_o harrow_v thou_o any_o way_n with_o any_o instrument_n as_o he_o please_v then_o he_o take_v another_o comparison_n from_o thresh_v the_o fitche_n be_v not_o thresh_v with_o a_o thresh_a instrument_n neither_o be_v a_o cartwheel_n turn_v about_o upon_o the_o cummin_n etc._n etc._n that_o be_v the_o affliction_n of_o the_o saint_n be_v also_o like_o the_o thresh_a of_o corn_n as_o there_o be_v no_o land_n that_o bear_v corn_n without_o plough_v no_o more_o can_v we_o enjoy_v it_o without_o thresh_v some_o more_o some_o less_o some_o one_o way_n some_o another_o now_o say_v he_o in_o the_o manner_n of_o affliction_n you_o may_v observe_v two_o thing_n from_o the_o thresh_a of_o man_n which_o be_v in_o another_o manner_n in_o those_o country_n then_o with_o we_o it_o be_v tread_v out_o with_o the_o ox_n and_o they_o do_v bring_v a_o wheel_n and_o horseman_n to_o ride_v upon_o their_o corn_n in_o those_o dry_a country_n and_o some_o be_v beat_v with_o a_o staff_n and_o small_a corn_n they_o do_v whip_v out_o with_o a_o rod._n so_o say_v he_o there_o be_v two_o thing_n to_o be_v observe_v in_o the_o manner_n of_o god_n deal_n you_o that_o be_v weak_a people_n weak_a christian_n the_o lord_n see_v that_o you_o be_v little_a fitche_n fitche_n be_v a_o little_a grain_n and_o cummin_n especial_o christ_n call_v they_o little_a thing_n yet_o little_a and_o weak_a christian_n be_v like_o cummin_n and_o fitche_n god_n will_v not_o bring_v a_o cart_n wheel_n over_o they_o that_o shall_v bruise_v they_o to_o piece_n and_o make_v they_o worth_n nothing_o but_o he_o will_v beat_v they_o with_o a_o staff_n and_o the_o cummin_n with_o a_o rod_n that_o be_v where_o there_o be_v a_o little_a weak_a saint_n the_o lord_n will_v take_v a_o little_a wand_n a_o rod_n a_o small_a light_a affliction_n but_o bread_n corn_n be_v bruise_v because_o he_o will_v not_o ever_o be_v thresh_v it_o not_o break_v it_o with_o the_o wheel_n etc._n etc._n that_o be_v sometime_o also_o god_n mean_v to_o lay_v all_o the_o affliction_n as_o it_o be_v at_o once_o upon_o his_o child_n where_o he_o see_v a_o strong_a saint_n many_o time_n he_o bring_v his_o horseman_n and_o his_o cartwheel_n as_o he_o do_v with_o job_n you_o know_v job_n have_v but_o a_o bout_n and_o so_o he_o go_v over_o and_o some_o of_o his_o day_n before_o and_o his_o day_n after_o be_v comfortable_a god_n bring_v strong_a affliction_n upon_o his_o child_n the_o reason_n be_v because_o god_n will_v not_o always_o be_v thresh_v he_o will_v not_o always_o afflict_v for_o then_o the_o spirit_n of_o man_n will_v fail_v before_o he_o if_o thy_o affliction_n be_v light_a say_v i_o be_o a_o little_a fitch_n or_o cummin_n if_o they_o be_v heavy_a say_v they_o will_v be_v short_a for_o the_o husbandman_n though_o he_o deal_v more_o coarse_o with_o his_o corn_n then_o with_o his_o fitche_n yet_o he_o take_v it_o into_o his_o barn_n and_o lay_v it_o up_o safe_a so_o though_o thy_o affliction_n be_v sore_o thou_o may_v from_o the_o practice_n of_o the_o husbandman_n say_v they_o will_v be_v short_a therefore_o endeavour_n to_o learn_v a_o little_a from_o affliction_n and_o how_o to_o carry_v and_o behave_v thyself_o like_o a_o saint_n wait_v patient_o upon_o god_n to_o know_v god_n design_n and_o meaning_n this_o also_o come_v forth_o from_o the_o
