our_o heart_n to_o meditate_v on_o the_o vanity_n of_o worldly_a thing_n or_o on_o the_o comfort_n and_o peace_n of_o a_o good_a conscience_n or_o on_o the_o shortness_n of_o this_o life_n or_o whatsoever_o other_o good_a matter_n that_o we_o can_v most_o willing_o receive_v and_o entertain_v for_o such_o will_v find_v the_o easy_a entrance_n and_o be_v likely_a to_o abide_v the_o long_a with_o we_o and_o if_o our_o former_a thought_n and_o care_n do_v interrupt_v we_o and_o intermingle_v themselves_o against_o our_o will_n and_o so_o break_v off_o or_o hinder_v our_o meditation_n yet_o we_o must_v then_o force_v ourselves_o to_o call_v home_o our_o wander_a thought_n and_o labour_n to_o drive_v out_o these_o fancy_n as_o 15.11_o as_o gen._n 15.11_o abraham_n drive_v away_o the_o bird_n that_o light_v on_o his_o sacrifice_n 2_o we_o may_v for_o the_o same_o purpose_n betake_v ourselves_o to_o good_a company_n such_z as_o who_o word_n may_v minister_v grace_n to_o our_o heart_n when_o we_o hear_v they_o and_o who_o savoury_a talk_n may_v possess_v our_o mind_n with_o a_o love_n and_o like_n of_o they_o for_o look_v how_o much_o we_o give_v our_o mind_n to_o mark_v such_o man_n discourse_n and_o so_o much_o we_o pare_v away_o or_o diminish_v of_o our_o distract_n thought_n 3_o we_o may_v and_o it_o will_v be_v most_o available_a if_o we_o do_v bend_v and_o set_v our_o self_n about_o the_o read_n of_o scripture_n or_o peruse_v of_o some_o other_o wise_a and_o sober_a writing_n which_o may_v both_o take_v up_o our_o thought_n and_o inform_v our_o mind_n so_o it_o seem_v david_n do_v in_o the_o time_n of_o his_o distress_n 119.23_o distress_n psal_n 119.23_o prince_n say_v he_o do_v sit_v and_o speak_v against_o i_o but_o thy_o servant_n do_v meditate_v in_o thy_o statute_n and_o again_o 119.92_o again_o psal_n 119.92_o unless_o thy_o law_n have_v be_v my_o delight_n i_o shall_v then_o have_v perish_v in_o my_o affliction_n by_o which_o speech_n we_o may_v gather_v that_o david_n do_v not_o sit_v down_o and_o bemoan_v himself_o with_o discontent_a thought_n but_o he_o run_v to_o god_n word_n and_o do_v meditate_v in_o his_o law_n and_o have_v comfort_n from_o thence_o in_o all_o his_o trouble_n and_o so_o shall_v we_o do_v if_o any_o fear_n afflict_v our_o mind_n we_o shall_v go_v to_o the_o book_n of_o god_n and_o busy_v ourselves_o with_o think_v on_o the_o sweet_a say_n that_o be_v there_o deliver_v and_o teach_v 4_o we_o shall_v set_v ourselves_o with_o as_o much_o chearfulnesse_n as_o we_o may_v about_o the_o business_n and_o work_n of_o our_o honest_a calling_n for_o these_o be_v duty_n that_o god_n require_v at_o our_o hand_n and_o they_o be_v employment_n that_o we_o be_v well_o acquaint_v with_o and_o such_o business_n withal_o as_o new_a occasion_n every_o day_n will_v put_v we_o upon_o and_o in_o these_o respect_v it_o will_v be_v the_o more_o easy_a to_o busy_v our_o mind_n about_o the_o order_n of_o they_o and_o if_o these_o have_v their_o due_a place_n careful_a thought_n will_v have_v the_o less_o room_n these_o be_v the_o diversion_n which_o we_o may_v use_v in_o this_o case_n and_o if_o thus_o or_o in_o any_o other_o the_o like_a kind_n we_o set_v our_o head_n and_o heart_n on_o work_v we_o shall_v both_o busy_a our_o mind_n with_o good_a thought_n that_o may_v profit_v we_o and_o keep_v out_o worldly_a care_n that_o will_v annoy_v we_o but_o if_o when_o care_n and_o fear_n do_v seize_v upon_o we_o we_o avoid_v action_n and_o shun_v company_n and_o cast_v off_o the_o care_n of_o our_o calling_n and_o get_v into_o a_o corner_n that_o we_o may_v give_v scope_n to_o our_o care_n and_o may_v invent_v argument_n to_o amplify_v our_o misery_n it_o be_v no_o martiell_n if_o our_o fear_n and_o care_n and_o unquiet_a thought_n get_v head_n against_o we_o when_o as_o ourselves_o do_v uphold_v they_o with_o our_o own_o hand_n ii_o rule_n 2_o we_o must_v strive_v to_o take_v away_o the_o cause_n that_o breed_v these_o unquiet_a care_n for_o as_o in_o heal_v sick_a body_n physician_n never_o think_v the_o cure_n to_o be_v sound_a till_o the_o cause_n of_o the_o disease_n be_v remove_v so_o it_o be_v in_o heal_a sick_a and_o distemper_a mind_n there_o can_v be_v no_o sound_a cure_n till_o the_o cause_n which_o first_o breed_v the_o disease_n and_o afterward_o do_v uphold_v it_o be_v remove_v or_o take_v away_o now_o the_o cause_n of_o this_o sickness_n which_o in_o this_o place_n we_o endeavour_v to_o cure_v be_v especial_o these_o two_o a_o immoderate_a love_n of_o worldly_a thing_n and_o a_o fearful_a distrust_n of_o god_n providence_n and_o fatherly_a care_n over_o we_o 1_o a_o immoderate_a love_n of_o the_o world_n be_v a_o cause_n of_o inordinate_a care_n because_o 6.21_o because_o matt._n 6.21_o where_o our_o treasure_n be_v there_o will_v our_o heart_n also_o be_v as_o our_o saviour_n say_v if_o our_o treasure_n that_o be_v that_o which_o we_o esteem_v and_o desire_v and_o love_n as_o some_o special_a jewel_n of_o great_a worth_n if_o it_o be_v in_o heaven_n then_o our_o heart_n will_v be_v in_o heaven_n ever_o think_v upon_o and_o ever_o long_v after_o the_o celestial_a joy_n and_o the_o society_n of_o the_o glorious_a saint_n and_o angel_n and_o the_o presence_n of_o the_o bless_a trinity_n in_o the_o enjoy_n whereof_o be_v fullness_n of_o joy_n for_o evermore_o and_o if_o our_o treasure_n be_v upon_o earth_n if_o we_o desire_v and_o love_v the_o thing_n of_o this_o life_n as_o our_o great_a good_a then_o our_o heart_n will_v be_v upon_o the_o earth_n still_o think_v on_o the_o world_n and_o ever_o reach_v and_o gape_v after_o it_o we_o shall_v sometime_o be_v study_v how_o to_o get_v they_o and_o sometime_o how_o to_o increase_v they_o and_o sometime_o how_o to_o dispose_v of_o they_o and_o when_o we_o have_v nothing_o to_o do_v about_o they_o yet_o our_o heart_n will_v delight_v to_o look_v upon_o they_o and_o to_o handle_v they_o as_o the_o worldling_n often_o tell_v over_o his_o gold_n and_o silver_n not_o because_o he_o know_v not_o the_o sum_n but_o because_o he_o delight_v in_o the_o sight_n and_o sound_v of_o it_o and_o if_o once_o these_o thing_n be_v lose_v which_o be_v so_o much_o love_v the_o heart_n follow_v after_o they_o mourning_n and_o sorow_v that_o his_o joy_n be_v go_v as_o when_o david_n take_v michal_n away_o from_o phaltiel_n her_o suppose_a husband_n 3.16_o husband_n 2_o sam._n 3.16_o he_o go_v with_o she_o along_o weep_a for_o that_o which_o a_o man_n do_v love_v immoderate_o when_o he_o have_v it_o for_o that_o he_o will_v mourn_v immoderate_o when_o he_o have_v lose_v it_o and_o hence_o it_o be_v that_o because_o rachel_n do_v too_o excessive_o desire_v child_n before_o she_o have_v they_o therefore_o the_o 31.15_o the_o jer._n 31.15_o prophet_n do_v bring_v she_o in_o as_o a_o pattern_n of_o they_o that_o mourn_v for_o their_o child_n when_o they_o be_v not_o for_o as_o it_o fare_v with_o thing_n that_o appertain_v to_o the_o body_n those_o that_o be_v loose_a from_o the_o flesh_n as_o our_o clothes_n and_o armour_n be_v these_o we_o can_v put_v on_o and_o off_o without_o annoyance_n or_o pain_n but_o that_o which_o stick_v to_o our_o flesh_n as_o the_o skin_n do_v if_o that_o be_v pull_v or_o pluck_v from_o we_o it_o put_v we_o to_o pain_n and_o breed_v smart_a and_o sorrow_n so_o it_o be_v with_o the_o thing_n of_o this_o world_n if_o they_o be_v unto_o we_o as_o our_o clothes_n thing_n without_o we_o &_o such_o as_o we_o desire_v only_o for_o our_o use_n then_o we_o can_v both_o possess_v they_o and_o lose_v they_o with_o patience_n and_o content_a mind_n as_o we_o see_v it_o be_v with_o job_n when_o he_o have_v lose_v all_o that_o ever_o he_o have_v 21._o have_v job._n 1.20_o 21._o he_o fall_v down_o upon_o the_o ground_n and_o worship_v or_o praise_v god_n and_o say_v naked_a come_v i_o out_o of_o my_o mother_n womb_n &_o naked_a shall_v i_o return_v thither_o the_o lord_n give_v and_o the_o lord_n have_v take_v away_o bless_a be_v the_o name_n of_o the_o lord_n job_n when_o he_o be_v strip_v of_o all_o his_o good_n and_o servant_n and_o child_n all_o the_o store_n that_o he_o have_v in_o the_o world_n he_o think_v of_o himself_o no_o otherwise_o then_o as_o of_o one_o that_o be_v naked_a and_o strip_v of_o his_o clothes_n and_o therefore_o
