A86422	Practicall divinity: or a helpe through the blessing of God to lead men more to look within themselves, and to unite experienced Christians in the bond and fellowship of the Spirit. / Delivered in sundry exercises lately spoken by Cap. Paul Hobson, upon these texts. Published by an hearty wellwiller to peace and unity among the dissenting godly, and to the promotion of spirituall and experimentall truths, without affectation of opinions, or prejudice against persons. Tending as to the edification of the reader chiefly : so also, somewhat in vindication of the authour.	Hobson, Paul.	1646 (1646)	Wing H2275; Thomason E1167_3; ESTC R208788	40,074	124

of_o divine_a crown_n this_o be_v enough_o to_o make_v a_o man_n not_o only_o to_o be_v content_a to_o bear_v affliction_n and_o frown_n from_o the_o world_n but_o also_o to_o love_v the_o cross_n to_o love_v the_o frown_n when_o thou_o have_v a_o loss_n in_o thy_o estate_n in_o thy_o name_n or_o any_o way_n christ_n come_v with_o his_o love_n and_o make_v a_o over_o abundant_a supply_n i_o do_v not_o say_v he_o give_v thou_o the_o same_o thing_n but_o he_o give_v thou_o that_o which_o be_v a_o thousand_o time_n more_o worth_a if_o thou_o lose_v farthing_n and_o gain_v pound_n if_o thou_o lose_v straw_n and_o gain_v pearl_n what_o loss_n have_v thou_o thus_o christ_n do_v to_o a_o saint_n at_o the_o very_a instant_n of_o his_o suffering_n if_o he_o live_v with_o &_o in_o christ_n for_o christ_n way_n be_v not_o to_o send_v the_o affliction_n and_o let_v it_o lie_v heavy_a and_o press_v a_o man_n down_o and_o then_o he_o afterward_o let_v man_n reason_n themselves_o into_o content_n for_o a_o saint_n content_a as_o a_o saint_n be_v not_o from_o reason_n but_o from_o a_o present_a enjoyment_n of_o christ_n which_o be_v communicate_v at_o that_o very_a instant_n

four_o reason_n why_o the_o saint_n be_v so_o bold_a in_o declare_v and_o engage_v for_o god_n be_v because_o in_o all_o their_o suffering_n they_o engage_v not_o at_o their_o own_o cost_n and_o charge_n they_o live_v not_o by_o their_o own_o life_n they_o live_v not_o by_o their_o own_o strength_n but_o they_o engage_v at_o christ_n charge_n &_o they_o live_v by_o christ_n life_n they_o spend_v upon_o his_o strength_n it_o be_v a_o phrase_n we_o have_v often_o up_o especial_o in_o the_o country_n they_o may_v spend_v free_o that_o spend_v upon_o other_o man_n purse_n so_o the_o saint_n they_o go_v on_o in_o their_o way_n and_o walk_v like_o saint_n because_o they_o live_v not_o by_o and_o of_o themselves_o their_o life_n and_o their_o strength_n and_o their_o comfort_n be_v all_o christ_n they_o spend_v upon_o his_o stock_n this_o make_v they_o so_o free_a and_o so_o bold_a spend_v while_o they_o will_v they_o have_v a_o vast_a treasure_n never_o to_o be_v exhaust_v still_o christ_n supply_v they_o with_o new_a strength_n and_o new_a life_n let_v man_n go_v on_o to_o revile_v and_o abuse_v the_o saint_n and_o study_v name_n of_o faction_n and_o independent_o and_o the_o like_a to_o make_v they_o odious_a no_o matter_n christ_n assist_v they_o christ_n have_v name_n full_a of_o love_n and_o sweetness_n for_o they_o and_o if_o they_o shall_v proceed_v to_o persecution_n as_o they_o may_v and_o imprisonment_n no_o matter_n there_o come_v a_o new_a suppy_n from_o christ_n answerable_a to_o their_o suffering_n but_o the_o saint_n be_v weak_a and_o not_o know_v this_o they_o many_o time_n needlesl_o trouble_v themselves_o with_o forthink_v what_o they_o shall_v do_v if_o suffer_v and_o affliction_n and_o trouble_v increase_v and_o the_o reason_n be_v because_o they_o apply_v and_o compare_v future_a trouble_n to_o present_a strength_n but_o those_o that_o live_v in_o christ_n and_o with_o christ_n they_o know_v they_o can_v engage_v upon_o any_o new_a affliction_n but_o there_o be_v a_o new_a supply_n of_o strength_n and_o courage_n and_o life_n from_o christ_n and_o therefore_o they_o reason_v thus_o if_o bond_n reproach_n and_o imprisonment_n or_o death_n itself_o do_v attend_v i_o there_o be_v fresh_a joy_n new_a life_n and_o more_o srength_n attend_v the_o more_o opposer_n the_o more_o strength_n the_o more_o joy_n the_o more_o glory_n the_o more_o love_n the_o more_o embrace_n the_o more_o overcomings_n of_o love_n and_o therefore_o this_o be_v that_o which_o make_v they_o bold_a in_o declare_v for_o god_n who_o more_o bold_a for_o god_n in_o declare_v truth_n then_o the_o apostle_n in_o act_n the_o four_o though_o they_o know_v trouble_n and_o persecution_n attend_v they_o 4.10_o act_n 4.10_o and_o bond_n
