whatsoever_o we_o receive_v be_v receive_v according_a to_o the_o disposition_n of_o the_o receiver_n what_o be_v the_o reason_n why_o people_n in_o the_o time_n of_o sickness_n be_v ready_a to_o

child_n though_o they_o walk_v in_o fiery_a temptation_n their_o heart_n have_v not_o so_o much_o as_o the_o favour_n of_o they_o there_o be_v three_o thing_n that_o do_v cause_n the_o difference_n in_o the_o disposition_n of_o heart_n for_o receive_v a_o truth_n of_o god_n or_o receive_v a_o temptation_n to_o sin_n first_o the_o abate_n of_o the_o strength_n of_o that_o which_o be_v opposite_a unto_o any_o truth_n or_o unto_o any_o temptation_n when_o as_o a_o truth_n come_v to_o a_o man_n there_o be_v in_o every_o man_n heart_n something_o opposite_a to_o that_o truth_n now_o if_o the_o strength_n of_o that_o which_o be_v opposite_a be_v abate_v that_o it_o do_v not_o stir_v the_o truth_n prevail_v which_o a_o great_a deal_n of_o strength_n but_o if_o that_o which_o be_v opposite_a to_o a_o truth_n be_v work_v and_o stir_v at_o such_o a_o time_n when_o they_o truth_n come_v then_o though_o it_o come_v a_o great_a deal_n more_o strong_o it_o can_v prevail_v and_o so_o if_o temptation_n come_v and_o the_o principle_n that_o be_v opposite_a to_o that_o temptation_n be_v stir_v at_o that_o time_n a_o man_n can_v prevail_v against_o it_o but_o if_o a_o man_n have_v some_o principle_n of_o grace_n and_o that_o lie_v dead_a when_o the_o temptation_n come_v than_o a_o great_a deal_n less_o temptation_n prevail_v second_o that_o which_o make_v a_o difference_n in_o the_o disposition_n of_o the_o spirit_n of_o man_n for_o receive_v a_o truth_n or_o receive_v a_o temptation_n be_v the_o stir_v or_o activeness_n of_o those_o habit_n that_o be_v suitable_a to_o a_o truth_n or_o unto_o a_o temptation_n when_o there_o come_v a_o truth_n present_v to_o a_o man_n that_o call_v for_o duty_n service_n or_o suffering_n if_o a_o man_n have_v principle_n suitable_a to_o the_o duty_n and_o these_o principle_n be_v now_o stir_v than_o he_o can_v close_v with_o that_o truth_n and_o it_o prevail_v powerful_o and_o so_o for_o sin_n if_o a_o man_n have_v seed_n and_o habit_n of_o sin_n and_o temptation_n come_v when_o these_o seed_n and_o habit_n be_v stir_v than_o he_o close_v with_o it_o present_o three_o but_o the_o especial_a thing_n that_o make_v the_o disposition_n of_o a_o man_n to_o receive_v a_o truth_n or_o a_o temptation_n different_a at_o one_o time_n from_o that_o it_o be_v at_o another_o be_v when_o self_n be_v engage_v in_o a_o business_n as_o now_o take_v it_o in_o person_n or_o opinion_n suppose_v there_o be_v such_o a_o man_n or_o woman_n that_o i_o be_o any_o way_n engage_v to_o and_o serve_v my_o turn_n in_o in_o any_o thing_n that_o be_v speak_v for_o they_o or_o their_o commendation_n i_o be_o ready_a to_o embrace_v it_o but_o suppose_v this_o man_n or_o woman_n do_v not_o serve_v my_o turn_n but_o the_o engagement_n be_v break_v than_o i_o believe_v the_o least_o evil_n that_o be_v speak_v against_o they_o when_o as_o i_o will_v not_o have_v believe_v ten_o time_n as_o much_o before_o not_o that_o there_o be_v more_o in_o they_o then_o before_o but_o only_o the_o frame_n and_o disposition_n of_o my_o heart_n towards_o they_o be_v otherwise_o then_o before_o and_o so_o in_o opinion_n if_o a_o man_n hold_v a_o

seek_v with_o all_o his_o might_n to_o maintain_v it_o not_o because_o the_o consequent_n be_v true_a but_o because_o it_o be_v his_o opinion_n that_o he_o hold_v come_v to_o a_o man_n that_o be_v ignorant_a which_o hold_v a_o opinion_n and_o tell_v he_o naked_o the_o consequent_n that_o will_v follow_v upon_o that_o opinion_n he_o hold_v without_o any_o reference_n to_o that_o opinion_n and_o he_o be_v mighty_o against_o they_o but_o come_v another_o time_n and_o seek_v to_o draw_v those_o consequent_n from_o that_o opinion_n which_o he_o hold_v and_o he_o seek_v to_o maintain_v they_o which_o he_o will_v not_o do_v but_o for_o that_o engagement_n he_o have_v unto_o that_o opinion_n but_o when_o a_o gracious_a heart_n find_v this_o that_o all_o engagement_n to_o man_n and_o the_o

when_o he_o see_v other_o seek_v to_o make_v he_o afraid_a because_o it_o will_v have_v be_v a_o dishonour_n to_o god_n and_o his_o cause_n five_o beside_o sinful_a fear_n be_v that_o which_o do_v
