thou_o so_o much_o as_o from_o his_o son_n in_o one_o regard_n that_o be_v thou_o have_v not_o such_o a_o dreadful_a apprehension_n of_o god_n withdraw_v from_o thou_o as_o christ_n have_v for_o christ_n will_v never_o have_v cry_v out_o else_o my_o god_n my_o god_n why_o have_v thou_o forsake_v i_o this_o be_v a_o real_a thing_n christ_n do_v not_o speak_v at_o uncertainty_n he_o do_v feel_v a_o withdraw_n of_o the_o influence_n sweetness_n and_o comfort_n of_o the_o lord_n though_o still_o he_o have_v union_n with_o he_o by_o nature_n and_o he_o be_v his_o father_n as_o before_o but_o the_o human_a nature_n do_v not_o feel_v the_o influence_n of_o the_o grace_n and_o sweetness_n and_o the_o shine_n of_o the_o favour_n of_o god_n as_o at_o other_o time_n and_o therefore_o he_o cry_v out_o my_o god_n my_o god_n why_o have_v thou_o forsake_v i_o exercise_v thy_o faith_n upon_o christ_n as_o one_o that_o be_v in_o spiritual_a desertion_n it_o be_v true_a perhaps_o that_o christ_n do_v not_o come_v to_o determine_v himself_o that_o he_o be_v utter_o forsake_v as_o thou_o do_v but_o christ_n be_v apprehensive_a of_o god_n withdraw_v himself_o and_o therefore_o this_o may_v bring_v ease_n and_o rest_v unto_o thy_o soul_n and_o the_o rather_o because_o that_o his_o be_v so_o forsake_v it_o be_v to_o sanctify_v thy_o be_v forsake_v it_o be_v to_o take_v away_o the_o curse_n of_o those_o desertion_n that_o thou_o have_v in_o thyself_o such_o desertion_n as_o be_v in_o any_o affliction_n material_o they_o be_v a_o curse_n they_o be_v such_o thing_n as_o in_o their_o own_o nature_n be_v a_o curse_n christ_n be_v so_o forsake_v by_o the_o father_n do_v take_v away_o the_o curse_n that_o be_v in_o spiritual_a desertion_n and_o there_o be_v no_o such_o way_n for_o the_o soul_n that_o be_v in_o spiritual_a desertion_n as_o to_o look_v up_o to_o christ_n and_o to_o consider_v that_o christ_n be_v forsake_v for_o my_o sake_n christ_n be_v forsake_v for_o i_o that_o i_o may_v not_o be_v eternal_o forsake_v so_o there_o be_v these_o three_o thing_n in_o look_v up_o to_o christ_n as_o forsake_v first_o thou_o see_v that_o the_o lord_n that_o be_v the_o belove_a son_n of_o god_n be_v forsake_v forsake_v by_o god_n second_o here_o thou_o may_v see_v the_o merit_n of_o this_o that_o it_o be_v to_o sanctify_v thy_o forsake_v that_o thy_o forsake_v may_v not_o be_v a_o curse_n to_o thou_o three_o it_o be_v that_o thou_o may_v not_o be_v eternal_o forsake_v by_o god_n so_o that_o by_o exercise_v of_o thy_o faith_n thus_o upon_o he_o thou_o may_v get_v a_o great_a deal_n of_o rest_n and_o ease_n unto_o thy_o soul_n a_o carnal_a heart_n when_o he_o find_v this_o terror_n of_o spirit_n he_o run_v to_o his_o company_n music_n good_a cheer_n and_o business_n of_o the_o world_n but_o a_o gracious_a heart_n run_v to_o christ_n and_o go_v to_o he_o that_o be_v thus_o forsake_v of_o the_o lord_n for_o he_o second_o if_o thou_o be_v under_o the_o burden_n of_o spiritual_a desertion_n then_o look_v up_o to_o christ_n as_o be_v such_o a_o mediator_n as_o be_v full_a of_o grace_n and_o goodness_n there_o be_v such_o a_o fullness_n of_o the_o grace_n of_o god_n in_o he_o as_o make_v he_o a_o sufficient_a object_n for_o the_o faith_n of_o adherence_n when_o he_o can_v be_v unto_o i_o a_o object_n of_o the_o faith_n of_o evidence_n i_o say_v we_o be_v to_o exercise_v faith_n upon_o christ_n when_o we_o be_v under_o this_o burden_n of_o spiritual_a desertion_n thus_o we_o be_v to_o look_v upon_o christ_n as_o be_v the_o fullness_n of_o the_o godhead_n of_o all_o the_o treasure_n of_o grace_n and_o goodness_n have_v so_o much_o of_o the_o grace_n and_o mercy_n of_o god_n in_o he_o as_o shall_v make_v he_o a_o fit_a object_n of_o the_o faith_n of_o adherence_n though_o he_o be_v not_o now_o to_o i_o a_o object_n of_o the_o faith_n of_o evidence_n quest_n you_o will_v say_v what_o be_v the_o meaning_n of_o that_o i_o mean_v by_o the_o faith_n of_o evidence_n that_o i_o be_o able_a to_o say_v that_o christ_n be_v i_o and_o i_o have_v a_o argument_n to_o persuade_v my_o conscience_n that_o he_o be_v i_o that_o be_v the_o faith_n of_o evidence_n but_o yet_o there_o be_v enough_o in_o christ_n to_o draw_v forth_o the_o soul_n to_o re●t_v upon_o he_o from_o the_o faith_n of_o adherence_n that_o be_v thus_o though_o i_o can_v draw_v argument_n to_o rely_v upon_o christ_n as_o i_o yet_o i_o will_v cleave_v to_o he_o and_o adhere_v to_o he_o i_o know_v there_o be_v no_o help_n but_o here_o and_o therefore_o here_o i_o will_v cleave_v and_o cling_v here_o now_o be_v the_o faith_n of_o adherence_n now_o because_o there_o be_v so_o much_o grace_n in_o it_o therefore_o christ_n may_v be_v a_o great_a object_n of_o thy_o faith_n of_o adherence_n when_o thou_o can_v not_o see_v he_o to_o be_v a_o object_n of_o the_o faith_n of_o evidence_n and_o that_o be_v a_o way_n to_o help_v the_o soul_n in_o time_n of_o spiritual_a desertion_n when_o many_o poor_a soul_n be_v under_o spiritual_a affliction_n and_o desertion_n they_o think_v of_o no_o other_o faith_n to_o rest_v upon_o christ_n but_o bare_o upon_o the_o faith_n of_o evidence_n and_o when_o they_o have_v evidence_n to_o their_o soul_n that_o christ_n be_v they_o and_o that_o from_o some_o fruit_n of_o grace_n in_o they_o than_o they_o rely_v upon_o he_o but_o now_o learn_v that_o there_o be_v such_o a_o faith_n the_o faith_n of_o adherence_n and_o christ_n may_v appear_v to_o a_o soul_n as_o a_o fit_a object_n to_o the_o soul_n for_o the_o faith_n of_o adherence_n when_o he_o can_v be_v to_o it_o a_o object_n of_o the_o faith_n of_o evidence_n three_o another_o help_n to_o the_o soul_n that_o be_v under_o spiritual_a desertion_n
