from_o the_o difference_n in_o the_o encourage_n occurrency_n of_o god_n providence_n we_o come_v now_o to_o the_o next_o doctrinal_a conclusion_n which_o be_v raise_v from_o hence_o there_o be_v a_o

a_o great_a deal_n of_o difference_n between_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n people_n at_o some_o time_n from_o that_o they_o be_v at_o other_o time_n now_o moses_n seem_v to_o have_v further_a courage_n and_o strength_n then_o former_o we_o have_v many_o example_n in_o scripture_n and_o daily_a experience_n of_o this_o that_o there_o be_v a_o wonderful_a difference_n between_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n people_n at_o sometime_o and_o at_o other_o time_n as_o elijah_n be_v a_o man_n of_o mighty_a courage_n that_o can_v look_v ahab_n on_o the_o face_n and_o when_o ahab_n say_v be_v thou_o he_o that_o trouble_v israel_n nay_o say_v he_o it_o be_v thou_o and_o thy_o father_n house_n at_o another_o time_n he_o flee_v from_o jezebel_n and_o god_n say_v to_o he_o what_o do_v thou_o here_o elijah_n be_v thou_o flee_v from_o a_o woman_n that_o but_o the_o other_o day_n have_v such_o a_o courage_n and_o so_o david_n there_o be_v a_o time_n when_o david_n be_v afraid_a and_o behave_v himself_o with_o much_o folly_n in_o his_o fear_n as_o in_o the_o change_n of_o his_o behaviour_n before_o the_o king_n of_o gath_n at_o another_o time_n as_o in_o psalm_n 23._o he_o will_v not_o fear_v what_o man_n can_v do_v unto_o he_o though_o he_o walk_v in_o the_o valley_n of_o the_o shadow_n of_o death_n and_o so_o in_o many_o psalm_n you_o have_v his_o heart_n mighty_o deject_v in_o the_o begin_n of_o the_o psalm_n and_o before_o he_o have_v do_v mighty_o raise_v and_o so_o abraham_n sometime_o he_o have_v mighty_a strength_n and_o confidence_n of_o his_o faith_n at_o other_o time_n his_o faith_n fail_v he_o and_o he_o be_v fain_o to_o equivocate_v and_o shift_v for_o himself_o and_o so_o jeremiah_n god_n say_v he_o will_v make_v he_o as_o a_o brazen_a wall_n and_o he_o will_v give_v he_o a_o spirit_n of_o courage_n at_o another_o time_n jeremiah_n be_v mighty_o deject_v because_o of_o the_o reproach_n he_o meet_v withal_o and_o he_o will_v speak_v no_o more_o in_o the_o name_n of_o god_n unto_o the_o people_n and_o so_o peter_n there_o be_v a_o time_n when_o he_o be_v afraid_a of_o a_o poor_a damsel_n at_o other_o time_n who_o so_o bold_a as_o peter_n as_o in_o

the_o soul_n to_o god_n that_o it_o be_v impossible_a the_o soul_n shall_v be_v damn_v and_o therefore_o it_o be_v a_o great_a miracle_n than_o ever_o any_o be_v enable_v to_o do_v though_o god_n

yet_o it_o be_v the_o most_o difficult_a work_n in_o the_o world_n first_o difficult_a in_o regard_n of_o the_o impediment_n no_o work_n have_v such_o great_a impediment_n as_o this_o the_o soul_n see_v a_o enmity_n between_o god_n and_o it_o and_o see_v itself_o a_o pollute_a creature_n and_o see_v the_o law_n of_o god_n in_o its_o strictness_n and_o the_o justice_n of_o god_n must_v be_v satisfy_v and_o see_v the_o wrath_n of_o god_n burn_v against_o it_o and_o have_v nothing_o in_o its_o self_n to_o satisfy_v god_n yet_o faith_n do_v break_v through_o all_o these_o and_o if_o it_o can_v break_v through_o these_o then_o certain_o it_o will_v break_v through_o any_o thing_n for_o there_o can_v be_v no_o great_a impediment_n to_o any_o service_n that_o god_n call_v to_o than_o there_o be_v to_o this_o one_o work_n of_o believe_a let_v we_o not_o therefore_o be_v fear_v by_o any_o difficulty_n and_o mountain_n that_o lie_v in_o our_o way_n to_o any_o work_n because_o there_o can_v never_o be_v any_o mountain_n lay_v in_o our_o way_n to_o hinder_v we_o in_o any_o work_n as_o do_v lie_v in_o our_o way_n to_o hinder_v we_o from_o believe_a and_o if_o faith_n do_v burst_v through_o those_o impediment_n it_o shall_v be_v able_a to_o break_v through_o all_o other_o impediment_n second_o it_o be_v difficult_a not_o only_o because_o of_o the_o impediment_n but_o because_o it_o be_v the_o high_a duty_n of_o all_o to_o reach_v high_a be_v painful_a to_o the_o body_n so_o the_o high_a action_n of_o the_o soul_n be_v difficult_a to_o the_o soul_n now_o faith_n be_v high_a the_o object_n be_v high_a the_o act_n be_v high_a and_o the_o end_n be_v high_a the_o object_n be_v the_o high_a object_n it_o be_v the_o perfect_a righteousness_n of_o a_o mediator_n god-man_n and_o the_o act_n be_v of_o the_o high_a nature_n it_o be_v a_o act_n of_o unite_n the_o soul_n with_o the_o deity_n as_o by_o sin_n the_o soul_n depart_v from_o god_n so_o by_o faith_n the_o soul_n come_v to_o be_v make_v one_o and_o for_o the_o end_n that_o be_v high_a it_o be_v for_o the_o satisfaction_n of_o infinite_a justice_n and_o for_o appease_v of_o infinite_a wrath_n and_o for_o acceptation_n from_o infinite_a holiness_n let_v god_n be_v never_o so_o holy_a infinite_o more_o than_o we_o can_v conceive_v of_o he_o yet_o faith_n do_v procure_v acceptance_n for_o such_o a_o pollute_a filthy_a creature_n as_o man_n be_v from_o the_o infinite_a holiness_n of_o god_n three_o it_o be_v difficult_a because_o it_o have_v the_o least_o furtherance_n from_o any_o principle_n of_o nature_n some_o other_o grace_n as_o patience_n and_o justice_n and_o sobriety_n they_o have_v some_o help_n from_o the_o principle_n in_o reason_n and_o nature_n but_o faith_n have_v no_o help_n from_o any_o principle_n in_o reason_n or_o nature_n and_o therefore_o sure_o it_o be_v difficult_a and_o if_o it_o be_v the_o most_o glorious_a and_o difficult_a thing_n sure_o it_o will_v enable_v the_o soul_n to_o do_v most_o glorious_a and_o difficult_a work_n five_o faith_n appear_v to_o be_v a_o most_o strong_a thing_n to_o carry_v the_o soul_n through_o any_o service_n because_o it_o enable_v a_o soul_n to_o go_v on_o in_o any_o way_n of_o service_n that_o god_n call_v to_o in_o a_o gracious_a manner_n and_o this_o do_v facillitate_v a_o work_n a_o main_a thing_n that_o make_v our_o service_n difficult_a be_v our_o blunder_a about_o they_o and_o go_v about_o they_o in_o a_o confuse_a untoward_a manner_n we_o do_v not_o carry_v thing_n gracious_o and_o sweet_o in_o a_o outward_a work_n to_o carry_v it_o on_o in_o a_o right_a manner_n do_v mighty_o further_o the_o work_n so_o in_o any_o work_n that_o godset_v we_o about_o if_o we_o go_v on_o in_o the_o right_a way_n that_o god_n set_v we_o about_o it_o will_v help_v we_o against_o difficulty_n we_o may_v thank_v ourselves_o because_o we_o go_v about_o our_o work_n unto_o wardly_a as_o a_o apprentice_n that_o handle_v his_o tool_n untoward_o he_o work_v with_o as_o much_o strength_n as_o another_o but_o not_o go_v in_o the_o right_a manner_n to_o work_v he_o do_v but_o hack_v &_o spoil_v his_o work_n whereas_o a_o mason_n or_o

he_o know_v how_o to_o order_v it_o because_o he_o have_v skill_n when_o as_o other_o will_v throw_v away_o the_o work_n and_o can_v not_o tell_v what_o to_o do_v so_o many_o not_o have_v the_o

no_o marvel_n if_o you_o be_v tire_v when_o you_o do_v not_o know_v the_o right_a rule_n but_o the_o principle_n of_o faith_n be_v beget_v by_o the_o word_n and_o be_v feed_v and_o nourish_v by_o the_o word_n it_o will_v keep_v the_o heart_n close_o to_o the_o word_n and_o give_v skill_n to_o the_o soul_n to_o apply_v itself_o to_o the_o rule_n and_o therefore_o though_o the_o work_n be_v hard_a yet_o to_o such_o a_o one_o in_o comparison_n it_o be_v easy_a and_o so_o carry_v through_o abundance_n of_o difficulty_n which_o otherwise_o will_v hinder_v he_o six_o faith_n carry_v through_o difficult_a work_n thing_n that_o be_v hard_a to_o be_v do_v because_o by_o faith_n it_o be_v that_o the_o soul_n of_o a_o believer_n have_v much_o to_o do_v with_o god_n with_o the_o
