where_o i_o be_v say_v he_o whether_o i_o be_v in_o the_o body_n or_o be_v take_v out_o of_o the_o body_n i_o can_v test_v the_o lord_n he_o know_v and_o therefore_o still_o i_o say_v there_o be_v no_o cause_n why_o any_o of_o god_n people_n shall_v inordinate_o fear_v affliction_n see_v you_o may_v meet_v with_o the_o presence_n of_o christ_n in_o that_o condition_n and_o the_o presence_n of_o jesus_n christ_n will_v countervail_v the_o loss_n of_o all_o creature_n comfort_n and_o the_o sweetness_n of_o it_o will_v be_v equivalent_a to_o the_o bitterness_n of_o it_o let_v thy_o condition_n be_v never_o so_o low_a that_o be_v the_o three_o use_n four_o let_v the_o people_n of_o god_n expect_v the_o presence_n of_o christ_n in_o their_o affliction_n in_o their_o low_a condition_n see_v christ_n have_v promise_v his_o presence_n do_v you_o expect_v his_o presence_n look_v for_o his_o presence_n oh_o that_o we_o may_v labour_v to_o improve_v our_o affliction_n for_o this_o end_n that_o we_o may_v meet_v with_o more_o of_o christ_n that_o we_o may_v enjoy_v more_o of_o the_o presence_n of_o christ_n in_o our_o affliction_n true_o there_o be_v a_o great_a deal_n lose_v god_n people_n loose_a abundance_n of_o sweetness_n which_o they_o may_v enjoy_v both_o in_o ordinance_n and_o in_o affliction_n if_o their_o heart_n be_v raise_v up_o to_o look_v for_o the_o performance_n of_o that_o which_o christ_n have_v promise_v if_o we_o will_v believe_v that_o jesus_n christ_n will_v be_v as_o good_a as_o his_o word_n do_v our_o soul_n expect_v the_o fu●lfilling_n of_o this_o word_n that_o ●e_n shall_v see_v the_o presence_n of_o christ_n in_o affliction_n why_o then_o shall_v we_o be_v so_o loath_a to_o suffer_v for_o christ_n and_o be_v unwilling_a to_o submit_v to_o low_a ●_z see_v it_o be_v the_o will_n of_o god_n that_o we_o shall_v suffer_v therefore_o i_o beseech_v you_o you_o that_o be_v the_o people_n of_o god_n get_v your_o heart_n enlarge_v in_o affliction_n that_o so_o you_o may_v get_v above_o your_o affliction_n if_o that_o you_o shall_v certain_o meet_v with_o the_o presence_n of_o jesus_n christ_n in_o your_o afflict_a condition_n he_o have_v speak_v it_o he_o have_v give_v out_o the_o word_n and_o therefore_o he_o will_v fulfil_v it_o what_o confidence_n have_v the_o people_n of_o god_n in_o their_o affliction_n when_o they_o remember_v this_o i_o will_v fear_v none_o ill_o though_o i_o walk_v in_o the_o valley_n of_o the_o shadow_n of_o death_n and_o see_v what_o david_n say_v in_o the_o 27._o psalm_n the_o beginning_n of_o it_o the_o lord_n be_v my_o light_n and_o my_o salvation_n who_o shall_v i_o fear_v the_o lord_n be_v the_o strength_n of_o my_o li●e_z of_o who_o shall_v i_o be_v afraid_a i_o can_v tell_v who_o the_o enemy_n be_v who_o be_v it_o he_o look_n and_o he_o find_v none_o in_o all_o the_o world_n who_o shall_v i_o fear_v and_o be_v afraid_a of_o so_o long_o as_o the_o lord_n be_v with_o i_o i_o see_v no_o such_o enemy_n and_o therefore_o i_o beseech_v you_o that_o you_o will_v look_v after_o the_o presence_n of_o christ_n expect_v the_o presence_n of_o christ_n in_o all_o your_o affliction_n that_o you_o meet_v with_o object_n but_o you_o will_v say_v i_o have_v no_o such_o word_n as_o david_n have_v david_n may_v well_o bel●eve_v that_o the_o lord_n will_v uphold_v he_o for_o david_n have_v a_o particular_a word_n god_n speak_v to_o david_n he_o ●ware_v to_o david_n he_o swear_v by_o his_o holiness_n that_o he_o will_v not_o fail_v david_n and_o so_o other_o of_o the_o sain●s_n they_o have_v a_o particular_a word_n the_o lord_n speak_v to_o joshua_n fear_v not_o i_o will_v not_o leave_v thou_o be_v courageous_a but_o we_o have_v no_o such_o word_n and_o therefore_o how_o shall_v we_o expect_v to_o meet_v with_o christ_n in_o afflict_a condition_n answ_n i_o answer_v first_o of_o all_o though_o god_n do_v not_o speak_v now_o from_o heaven_n by_o vision_n he_o do_v not_o reveal_v himself_o by_o urim_n and_o thu●mim_n as_o unto_o david_n yet_o we_o have_v a_o large_a word_n than_o david_n have_v and_o joshuah_n have_v the_o scripture_n be_v large_a now_o we_o have_v abundance_n of_o the_o word_n there_o be_v but_o little_a of_o the_o scripture_n write_v in_o da●ids_n time_n and_o less_o in_o joshuahs_n time_n there_o be_v none_o of_o the_o write_a word_n but_o only_o the_o book_n of_o moses_n but_o now_o we_o have_v the_o word_n of_o god_n complete_a we_o have_v a_o sure_a word_n a_o large_a word_n and_o it_o be_v full_a of_o gracious_a invitation_n and_o encouragement_n and_o therefore_o the_o saint_n now_o may_v be_v encourage_v as_o well_o as_o they_o to_o who_o god_n speak_v second_o yea_o second_o i_o say_v god_n have_v send_v forth_o more_o of_o his_o spirit_n now_o in_o a_o gospel_n way_n in_o a_o way_n of_o gospel_n dispensation_n there_o be_v a_o great_a deal_n more_o of_o the_o spirit_n of_o christ_n pour_v out_o now_o it_o be_v the_o work_n of_o the_o spirit_n the_o office_n of_o the_o spirit_n to_o particularize_v those_o promise_n to_o the_o soul_n to_o take_v th●_n promise_n and_o bring_v they_o home_o to_o this_o and_o that_o particular_a soul_n now_o where_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n come_v ●●_o come_v with_o evidence_n and_o he_o bring_v home_o the_o word_n of_o grace_n to_o th●_n soul_n that_o the_o soul_n can_v gainsay_v it_o nor_o resist_v it_o object_n but_o you_o will_v say_v how_o shall_v i_o know_v it_o be_v the_o spirit_n of_o god_n that_o do_v speak_v to_o i_o answ_n i_o answer_v the_o spirit_n of_o god_n always_o speak_v according_a to_o the_o word_n of_o god_n i_o say_v it_o speak_v according_a to_o the_o write_a word_n that_o be_v give_v to_o we_o it_o speak_v according_a to_o the_o word_n of_o grace_n for_o the_o spirit_n and_o the_o word_n do_v bear_v mutual_a testimony_n one_o of_o another_o but_o i_o answer_v it_o be_v in_o the_o power_n of_o the_o spirit_n to_o resolve_v the_o soul_n the_o lord_n jesus_n send_v forth_o the_o spirit_n with_o so_o much_o evidence_n ●s_v to_o convince_v the_o heart_n that_o it_o be_v the_o spirit_n that_o speak_v the_o lord_n jesus_n he_o be_v able_a to_o persuade_v the_o soul_n that_o it_o be_v not_o a_o delusion_n but_o speak_v according_a to_o the_o word_n of_o grace_n it_o be_v indeed_o the_o voice_n of_o the_o father_n the_o voice_n of_o the_o spirit_n that_o speak_v objct._n but_o you_o will_v object_v further_o if_o the_o lord_n jesus_n be_v present_a with_o m●_n according_a to_o his_o promise_n if_o the_o lord_n be_v present_a with_o i_o in_o affliction_n why_o how_o be_v it_o possible_a that_o it_o shall_v be_v thus_o with_o i_o as_o it_o be_v how_o be_v it_o possible_a that_o there_o shall_v be_v so_o much_o deadness_n and_o so_o much_o of_o the_o world_n and_o unbelief_n surè_o the_o presence_n of_o christ_n be_v not_o with_o i_o in_o my_o affliction_n answ_n i_o answer_v to_o such_o a_o poor_a soul_n that_o look_v after_o the_o presence_n of_o christ_n and_o fain_o will_v enjoy_v the_o presence_n of_o christ_n but_o can_v see_v he_o in_o affliction_n i_o say_v first_o of_o all_o undoubted_o there_o be_v the_o presence_n of_o christ_n with_o thou_o and_o thou_o can_v not_o but_o thou_o may_v see_v something_o if_o unthankfulness_n do_v not_o lie_v before_o thy_o eye_n he_o be_v there_o the_o lord_n jesus_n be_v there_o and_o he_o will_v make_v good_a his_o word_n certain_o if_o he_o have_v promise_v to_o be_v with_o his_o people_n in_o afflict_a condition_n he_o will_v make_v good_a his_o word_n an●_n he_o be_v with_o thou_o at_o the_o door_n though_o he_o may_v be_v behind_o the_o curtain_n and_o undoubted_o he_o be_v not_o far_o as_o i_o say_v before_o joseph_n be_v with_o his_o brethren_n when_o they_o do_v not_o know_v he_o and_o so_o the_o lord_n jesus_n be_v present_a with_o his_o people_n and_o they_o do_v not_o see_v he_o he_o do_v feed_v they_o support_v they_o and_o maintain_v their_o life_n and_o they_o not_o know_v it_o second_o yea_o i_o say_v second_o that_o if_o thou_o do_v not_o see_v more_o of_o the_o presence_n of_o christ_n the_o fault_n be_v in_o thou_o it_o be_v not_o in_o the_o lord_n not_o in_o the_o word_n of_o the_o lord_n he_o be_v present_a according_a to_o the_o word_n that_o he_o have_v speak_v and_o therefore_o christ_n may_v be_v present_a and_o thou_o see_v he_o not_o because_o through_o negligence_n thou_o do_v not_o stir_v up_o thyself_o to_o take_v hold_n of_o he_o thou_o give_v way_n to_o a_o slothful_a spirit_n and_o so_o thou_o do_v not_o

when_o he_o first_o create_v they_o see_v the_o 148._o psalm_n what_o be_v speak_v there_o of_o all_o the_o creature_n of_o god_n they_o obey_v that_o law_n he_o give_v they_o verse_n 6._o who_o have_v also_o estdblish_v they_o for_o ever_o and_o ever_o he_o have_v make_v a_o decree_n which_o shall_v not_o pass_v verse_n 7._o praise_v the_o lord_n from_o the_o earth_n you_o dragon_n and_o

they_o all_o keep_v their_o bound_n they_o willing_o obey_v the_o word_n the_o command_n of_o their_o creator_n and_o therefore_o it_o be_v that_o the_o sun_n do_v rise_v and_o set_v that_o so_o may_v fulfil_v the_o word_n of_o the_o lord_n the_o sea_n that_o ebb_v and_o flow_v and_o so_o all_o creature_n they_o keek_z their_o motion_n and_o their_o station_n that_o so_o they_o may_v fulfil_v the_o word_n of_o the_o lord_n and_o keep_v that_o law_n that_o god_n give_v they_o at_o the_o first_o creation_n when_o he_o put_v they_o in_o order_n and_o set_v they_o in_o their_o bound_n yea_o sometime_o god_n do_v give_v another_o word_n to_o they_o he_o do_v alter_v the_o law_n that_o he_o make_v at_o their_o creation_n and_o he_o give_v a_o new_a word_n of_o command_n which_o be_v contrary_a to_o nature_n and_o then_o also_o the_o creature_n they_o obey_v that_o word_n of_o the_o lord_n see_v what_o god_n command_v in_o the_o second_o book_n of_o king_n 20._o 9_o 10._o verse_n verse_n 9_o and_o isaiah_n say_v this_o sign_n shall_v thou_o hau●_n of_o the_o lord_n that_o the_o lord_n will_v do_v the_o thing_n that_o he_o have_v speak_v shall_v the_o shadow_n go_v forward_o ten_o degree_n or_o go_v backward_o ten_o degree_n verse_n 10._o and_o hezekiah_n answer_v it_o be_v a_o light_a thing_n for_o the_o shadow_n to_o go_v down_o ten_o degree_n nay_o but_o let_v the_o shadow_n return_v backward_o ten_o degree_n verse_n 11._o and_o isaiah_n cry_v unto_o the_o lord_n and_o he_o broughe_v the_o shadow_n tne_v degree_n backward_o by_o which_o it_o have_v go_v down_o in_o the_o dial_n of_o ahaz_n see_v god_n he_o can_v alter_v the_o law_n of_o nature_n and_o at_o his_o command_n the_o sun_n shall_v not_o only_o go_v forward_o but_o it_o shall_v go_v backward_o if_o god_n say_v sun_n stand_v still_o it_o shall_v not_o move_v and_o if_o god_n say_v sun_n go_v back_o it_o go_v back_o ten_o degree_n thus_o you_o see_v that_o all_o the_o creature_n they_o obey_v the_o word_n of_o the_o lord_n they_o fulfil_v every_o command_n of_o god_n if_o he_o say_v to_o the_o wind_n wind_fw-mi arise_v arise_v and_o blow_v it_o present_o fulfil_v his_o word_n if_o he_o

the_o lord_n and_o than_o if_o he_o say_v go_v and_o blow_v such_o a_o man_n profit_n carry_v blessing_n in_o your_o wing_n the_o wind_n that_o present_o fulfil_v the_o word_n of_o the_o lord_n they_o be_v all_o his_o creature_n therefore_o they_o must_v go_v along_o with_o the_o lord_n they_o be_v all_o his_o servant_n and_o therefore_o they_o attend_v he_o they_o be_v all_o the_o army_n of_o the_o lord_n and_o all_o the_o host_n in_o heaven_n and_o earth_n be_v his_o army_n and_o therefore_o they_o must_v obey_v the_o word_n of_o their_o general_n they_o must_v obey_v his_o word_n of_o command_n they_o be_v all_o at_o his_o command_n and_o therefore_o i_o say_v where_o god_n be_v a_o friend_n the_o creature_n they_o must_v needs_o be_v friend_n they_o can_v do_v hurt_v for_o they_o all_o go_v along_o with_o god_n second_o the_o creature_n they_o can_v hurt_v but_o they_o must_v do_v good_a to_o the_o people_n of_o god_n for_o god_n have_v make_v a_o covenant_n with_o all_o the_o

now_o because_o god_n have_v make_v a_o league_n with_o they_o therefore_o of_o necessity_n fi●st_v of_o all_o they_o must_v do_v no_o hurt_n for_o that_o be_v one_o end_n of_o their_o league_n and_o
