that_o be_v you_o will_v not_o go_v out_o from_o yourselves_o to_o the_o lord_n christ_n and_o therefore_o can_v receive_v mercy_n and_o grace_n from_o his_o majesty_n hand_n though_o thou_o be_v never_o so_o base_a and_o vile_a if_o thou_o can_v go_v to_o the_o lord_n jesus_n and_o rest_n upon_o he_o for_o mercy_n nothing_o shall_v stand_v between_o thou_o and_o heaven_n but_o if_o thou_o stick_v in_o thyself_o all_o the_o grace_n in_o christ_n can_v do_v thou_o no_o good_a second_o this_o carnal_a confidence_n make_v a_o man_n unprofitable_a under_o all_o the_o mean_n that_o god_n bestow_v 6._o jer._n 17.5_o 6._o as_o the_o prophet_n jeremy_n say_v curse_v be_v he_o that_o trust_v in_o the_o arm_n of_o flesh_n and_o depart_v from_o the_o lord_n why_o what_o shall_v become_v of_o he_o the_o text_n say_v he_o shall_v be_v like_o a_o heath_n in_o the_o wilderness_n and_o shall_v never_o see_v good_a the_o nature_n of_o the_o heath_n be_v this_o though_o all_o the_o dew_n of_o heaven_n and_o all_o the_o shower_n in_o the_o world_n fall_v upon_o it_o and_o though_o the_o sun_n shine_v never_o so_o hot_o it_o will_v never_o grow_v fruitful_a it_o will_v never_o yield_v any_o fruit_n of_o increase_n but_o it_o be_v unfruitful_a still_o such_o a_o soul_n thou_o will_v be_v thou_o that_o rest_v upon_o thy_o own_o service_n &_o say_v because_o thou_o hear_v and_o pray_v and_o do_v sanctify_v the_o lord_n day_n therefore_o thou_o must_v needs_o go_v to_o heaven_n i_o say_v thou_o shall_v never_o see_v good_a by_o all_o the_o mean_n of_o grace_n if_o thou_o make_v they_o independent_a cause_n of_o salvation_n all_o the_o promise_n in_o the_o gospel_n shall_v never_o establish_v thou_o and_o all_o the_o judgement_n in_o the_o world_n will_v never_o terrify_v thou_o thou_o shall_v never_o have_v any_o save_a grace_n wrought_v in_o thou_o by_o they_o the_o truth_n be_v he_o that_o have_v all_o mean_n and_o have_v not_o a_o christ_n in_o all_o he_o shall_v never_o see_v good_a by_o all_o therefore_o thou_o that_o rest_v upon_o thy_o part_n and_o gift_n and_o upon_o thy_o duty_n thou_o will_v have_v a_o heart_n so_o besot_v that_o grace_n will_v never_o come_v into_o thy_o heart_n and_o god_n will_v never_o quiet_v thy_o conscience_n it_o may_v be_v a_o poor_a drunkard_n be_v convert_v and_o humble_v but_o thou_o stand_v still_o and_o can_v get_v no_o good_a by_o all_o the_o mean_n in_o the_o world_n therefore_o say_v thus_o to_o thyself_o do_v this_o carnal_a confidence_n cut_v i_o off_o from_o all_o the_o grace_n and_o mercy_n that_o be_v in_o christ_n and_o without_o mercy_n and_o pardon_v from_o christ_n i_o be_o undo_v for_o ever_o and_o without_o grace_n i_o be_o a_o poor_a defile_a wretch_n here_o and_o shall_v be_v damn_v for_o ever_o after_o if_o i_o rest_v here_o i_o may_v bid_v adve_o to_o all_o mercy_n nay_o all_o the_o mean_n that_o i_o have_v never_o do_v i_o good_a be_v this_o the_o fruit_n of_o my_o carnal_a confidence_n oh_o lord_n withdraw_v my_o heart_n from_o it_o last_o when_o all_o the_o mean_n of_o grace_n will_v not_o pluck_v away_o the_o soul_n from_o rest_v upon_o itself_o mean_n the_o four_o mean_n when_o reason_n will_v not_o rule_v he_o nor_o mean_n will_v not_o prevail_v with_o a_o poor_a sinner_n as_o common_o a_o great_a while_o they_o will_v not_o then_o the_o lord_n tire_v a_o poor_a soul_n with_o his_o own_o distemper_n and_o the_o lord_n deal_v with_o the_o soul_n as_o a_o enemy_n deal_v with_o a_o castle_n that_o he_o have_v besiege_v when_o the_o citizen_n will_v not_o yield_v up_o the_o castle_n he_o famish_v they_o and_o cut_v off_o all_o provision_n and_o make_v they_o consume_v within_o and_o so_o at_o last_o they_o be_v force_v to_o resign_v it_o up_o upon_o any_o term_n so_o when_o the_o lord_n have_v lay_v siege_n to_o a_o carnal_a heart_n and_o have_v show_v he_o his_o woeful_a condition_n and_o yet_o the_o heart_n will_v not_o of_o nor_o will_v not_o take_v up_o any_o term_n of_o peace_n but_o still_o he_o will_v shift_v for_o himself_o now_o what_o do_v the_o lord_n do_v he_o take_v away_o the_o comfort_n of_o all_o the_o mean_n that_o he_o have_v till_o he_o be_v famish_v with_o the_o want_n of_o god_n favour_n and_o then_o he_o be_v content_a to_o yield_v up_o all_o to_o the_o god_n of_o heaven_n and_o earth_n it_o be_v just_a so_o with_o this_o prodigal_n all_o the_o world_n can_v not_o persuade_v he_o but_o he_o may_v live_v better_o of_o his_o portion_n and_o so_o away_o he_o go_v and_o when_o he_o have_v try_v the_o world_n and_o can_v get_v no_o succour_n at_o last_o he_o confess_v it_o be_v better_a to_o be_v at_o a_o father_n find_v and_o now_o he_o see_v that_o a_o father_n house_n be_v admirable_o good_a and_o that_o the_o servant_n and_o child_n in_o their_o father_n house_n be_v happy_a for_o they_o have_v bread_n enough_o and_o enough_o again_o and_o to_o spare_v too_o and_o so_o he_o be_v force_v to_o return_v so_o it_o be_v with_o many_o poor_a distress_a soul_n all_o the_o argument_n under_o heaven_n can_v quiet_v they_o and_o all_o the_o mean_n in_o the_o world_n can_v pluck_v they_o from_o themselves_o and_o we_o tell_v they_o daily_o that_o they_o must_v not_o expect_v grace_n nor_o power_n nor_o pardon_n from_o themselves_o 3._o 2_o joh._n 3._o it_o be_v mercy_n and_o peace_n say_v the_o apostle_n you_o will_v have_v peace_n of_o conscience_n and_o pardon_v of_o sin_n and_o assurance_n of_o god_n love_n and_o whence_o will_v you_o have_v it_o you_o will_v have_v it_o from_o your_o duty_n it_o be_v not_o prayer_n and_o peace_n nor_o hear_v and_o peace_n but_o it_o be_v mercy_n and_o peace_n and_o therefore_o away_o to_o the_o lord_n jesus_n that_o you_o may_v receive_v mercy_n from_o he_o yet_o we_o can_v get_v poor_a creature_n from_o themselves_o but_o they_o will_v fain_o shuffle_v for_o themselves_o and_o have_v a_o little_a comfort_n of_o their_o own_o and_o they_o say_v lord_n can_v my_o prayer_n my_o care_n and_o fast_a merit_n salvation_n now_o what_o do_v god_n then_o he_o say_v to_o such_o a_o soul_n go_v try_v then_o put_v to_o the_o best_a of_o thy_o strength_n and_o use_v all_o the_o mean_n that_o thou_o can_v and_o see_v what_o thou_o can_v do_v see_v if_o thou_o can_v cure_v thy_o conscience_n and_o heal_v those_o wound_n of_o thou_o and_o subdue_v the_o corruption_n of_o thy_o heart_n with_o thy_o prayer_n and_o ability_n but_o when_o the_o soul_n have_v make_v trial_n and_o welter_v and_o weary_a itself_o at_o last_o he_o find_v that_o all_o the_o mean_n he_o can_v use_v can_v quiet_v he_o nor_o comfort_v his_o conscience_n and_o the_o poor_a sinner_n be_v pinch_v and_o weary_v and_o the_o lord_n will_v not_o answer_v his_o prayer_n nor_o sweeten_v the_o desire_n of_o his_o soul_n and_o the_o lord_n will_v not_o bless_v the_o word_n to_o he_o for_o his_o comfort_n and_o at_o last_o the_o soul_n say_v such_o a_o poor_a

love_n you_o may_v thank_v yourselves_o for_o it_o they_o see_v nothing_o and_o they_o look_v for_o nothing_o from_o themselves_o and_o therefore_o they_o go_v home_o to_o the_o gate_n of_o mercy_n to_o the_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n and_o they_o have_v bread_n enough_o if_o you_o will_v come_v home_o to_o christ_n you_o may_v have_v be_v comfort_v also_o now_o therefore_o go_v to_o the_o lord_n
