than_o ever_o we_o do_v in_o yield_v to_o it_o 2_o you_o shall_v find_v yourselves_o able_a to_o rest_n prayer_n to_o pray_v to_o hear_v and_o to_o sanctify_v the_o sabbath_n make_v your_o heart_n good_a and_o you_o shall_v do_v these_o thing_n with_o delight_n for_o simile_n as_o when_o a_o man_n hand_n be_v out_o of_o joint_n he_o can_v work_v so_o if_o the_o soul_n be_v out_o of_o frame_v it_o can_v pray_v etc._n etc._n 3_o you_o shall_v find_v yourselves_o able_a to_o bear_v affliction_n affliction_n before_o you_o can_v bear_v nothing_o but_o every_o thing_n be_v as_o a_o burden_n unto_o you_o a_o man_n have_v a_o shoulder_n that_o be_v out_o of_o joint_n can_v bear_v any_o thing_n so_o if_o sin_n be_v mingle_v with_o affliction_n it_o make_v that_o bitter_a but_o after_o you_o have_v purge_v yourselves_o from_o sin_n you_o shall_v be_v able_a to_o bear_v they_o but_o when_o there_o be_v no_o strength_n within_o how_o shall_v we_o bear_v they_o 4_o when_o you_o heart_n be_v perfect_a last_a the_o wound_n will_v present_o be_v heal_v and_o grow_v well_o the_o peace_n of_o the_o wicked_a be_v but_o like_o a_o wound_n that_o be_v skin_v over_o at_o the_o last_o it_o will_v break_v out_o again_o he_o may_v make_v a_o show_n for_o a_o while_n but_o there_o be_v a_o secret_a disease_n in_o he_o and_o the_o late_a end_n of_o that_o man_n will_v be_v worse_o than_o the_o

his_o conscience_n that_o will_v be_v worse_o than_o all_o he_o endure_v before_o and_o thus_o you_o see_v this_o doctrine_n be_v most_o sweet_a to_o all_o those_o that_o have_v perfect_a heart_n but_o to_o the_o other_o that_o remain_v still_o in_o their_o sin_n most_o dangerous_a a_o profitable_a sermon_n preach_v at_o lincolns-inn_n on_o gen._n xxii_o fourteen_o as_o it_o be_v say_v to_o

which_o be_v not_o in_o a_o general_a manner_n to_o be_v behold_v but_o in_o his_o special_a providence_n to_o his_o servant_n in_o their_o affliction_n the_o second_o thing_n be_v the_o time_n when_o
