not_o deceive_v they_o for_o we_o may_v find_v many_o who_o have_v sometime_o desire_v it_o earnest_o and_o yet_o never_o obtain_v it_o as_o balaam_n that_o a_o man_n can_v hardly_o have_v show_v any_o difference_n betwixt_o their_o desire_v of_o it_o and_o the_o desire_n of_o such_o as_o have_v attain_v to_o it_o indeed_o for_o that_o instant_n but_o in_o time_n it_o have_v appear_v that_o it_o be_v but_o sudden_a or_o of_o short_a continuance_n and_o fail_v before_o it_o obtain_v that_o which_o it_o seek_v as_o by_o they_o who_o in_o the_o gospel_n be_v say_v to_o have_v joy_v in_o that_o which_o they_o desire_v to_o hear_v over_o but_o it_o vanish_v whereas_o the_o desire_n of_o the_o other_o can_v be_v satisfy_v without_o it_o but_o mourn_v and_o long_v for_o it_o and_o pine_v

therefore_o such_o must_v know_v that_o their_o desire_n which_o be_v sometime_o fleet_a and_o sometime_o faint_a must_v become_v both_o fervent_a and_o constant_a as_o in_o the_o parable_n of_o the_o

of_o god_n and_o of_o christ_n jesus_n in_o we_o and_o be_v the_o work_n or_o fruit_n of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n by_o the_o gospel_n which_o although_o they_o be_v not_o of_o like_a authority_n with_o

the_o believer_n to_o try_v that_o he_o have_v this_o excellent_a gift_n of_o faith_n these_o eight_o grace_n be_v companion_n of_o it_o and_o more_o easy_o perceive_v and_o discern_v than_o faith_n

but_o i_o ask_v this_o question_n of_o they_o again_o why_o they_o shall_v be_v most_o earnest_o bend_v to_o prayer_n and_o read_n at_o such_o time_n when_o they_o see_v other_o duty_n to_o be_v lay_v upon_o they_o necessary_o be_v it_o not_o because_o they_o see_v they_o can_v do_v they_o that_o the_o devil_n set_v they_o forward_o so_o hot_o at_o such_o a_o time_n to_o go_v about_o they_o that_o they_o may_v think_v themselves_o to_o be_v godly_a than_o they_o be_v and_o so_o be_v deceive_v impediment_n and_o why_o be_v they_o not_o but_o even_o half_a so_o fervent_a in_o go_v about_o read_v pray_v and_o other_o heavenly_a serve_v of_o god_n when_o they_o have_v time_n and_o leisure_n which_o if_o they_o be_v it_o be_v well_o let_v they_o rest_v with_o peace_n therein_o so_o shall_v they_o be_v the_o fit_a to_o outward_a duty_n and_o so_o do_v they_o must_v not_o count_v themselves_o let_v when_o they_o do_v that_o which_o be_v their_o call_n if_o they_o do_v not_o let_v they_o wise_o mark_v how_o they_o be_v blindfolded_a on_o both_o side_n and_o make_v conscience_n so_o to_o do_v the_o one_o duty_n in_o his_o season_n that_o the_o other_o be_v not_o count_v a_o hindrance_n

that_o when_o two_o duty_n meet_v together_o at_o one_o time_n both_o be_v of_o great_a weight_n that_o they_o pray_v god_n to_o give_v they_o discretion_n to_o consider_v which_o be_v most_o
