be_v it_o never_o so_o well_o make_v and_o spread_v but_o i_o persuade_v myself_o two_o great_a and_o very_o usual_a cause_n yea_o most_o usual_a be_v ignorance_n and_o negligence_n either_o the_o soul_n be_v a_o stranger_n to_o the_o rock_n or_o else_o it_o do_v not_o put_v forth_o its_o leg_n in_o run_v to_o it_o 1._o a_o christian_a may_v have_v a_o great_a interest_n in_o christ_n a_o great_a portion_n in_o the_o rock_n of_o age_n and_o yet_o be_v in_o a_o great_a manner_n ignorant_a of_o he_o and_o this_o partial_a ignorance_n though_o it_o shall_v not_o hinder_v their_o final_a

soul_n be_v not_o so_o acquaint_v with_o the_o word_n of_o god_n that_o when_o it_o be_v in_o trouble_n it_o can_v turn_v to_o a_o promise_n present_o that_o shall_v relate_v to_o its_o condition_n it_o may_v be_v it_o may_v not_o be_v so_o acquaint_v with_o all_o the_o corner_n of_o christ_n gracious_a heart_n that_o it_o can_v present_o consider_v christ_n in_o a_o suitable_a notion_n to_o

make_v he_o go_v with_o a_o sad_a heart_n a_o great_a deal_n long_o than_o that_o soul_n that_o be_v more_o grow_v in_o the_o knowledge_n of_o christ_n more_o acquaint_v with_o every_o piece_n of_o his_o nature_n more_o experience_v in_o his_o way_n indeed_o second_o a_o great_a cause_n may_v be_v the_o soul_n negligence_n a_o knowledge_n may_v lie_v dormant_a in_o the_o soul_n a_o man_n may_v have_v leg_n and_o not_o use_v they_o so_o a_o christian_a may_v have_v a_o sufficient_a acquaintance_n with_o christ_n in_o his_o word_n of_o promise_n and_o way_n of_o mercy_n and_o yet_o for_o all_o this_o if_o it_o will_v sit_v still_o in_o a_o hour_n of_o trouble_n and_o never_o set_v itself_o to_o meditate_v upon_o these_o thing_n never_o put_v forth_o itself_o to_o try_v if_o it_o can_v

when_o thou_o be_v overwhelm_v with_o a_o rrouble_n be_v it_o from_o what_o cause_n it_o will_v to_o sit_v down_o and_o think_v what_o be_v now_o a_o bitter_a dispensation_n that_o do_v not_o please_v i_o i_o be_o trouble_v at_o it_o but_o let_v i_o think_v be_v there_o nothing_o of_o god_n in_o this_o dispensation_n come_v this_o affliction_n out_o of_o the_o dust_n see_v if_o thou_o can_v see_v

god_n be_v in_o this_o cross_n in_o this_o loss_n of_o a_o friend_n in_o this_o loss_n of_o estate_n and_o i_o be_v not_o aware_a of_o it_o sure_o it_o be_v the_o will_n of_o the_o lord_n concern_v
