to_o take_v upon_o he_o the_o humane_a nature_n o_o it_o be_v a_o great_a mystery_n i_o believe_v also_o that_o it_o be_v a_o great_a mystery_n in_o regard_n of_o the_o way_n of_o its_o particular_a

that_o i_o see_v christ_n to_o be_v of_o use_n to_o cleanse_v i_o justification_n sanctification_n see_v before_o justification_n before_o i_o see_v he_o justify_v my_o person_n which_o be_v a_o

and_o now_o i_o begin_v in_o some_o measure_n to_o apprehend_a what_o a_o temptation_n be_v in_o a_o time_n of_o temptation_n which_o be_v half_o a_o deliverance_n out_o of_o it_o this_o through_o the_o mercy_n of_o god_n in_o christ_n jesus_n i_o find_v by_o experience_n in_o prayer_n and_o about_o prayer_n i_o find_v first_o the_o subtlety_n of_o satan_n temptation_n wherein_o i_o find_v he_o prayer_n satan_n malice_n against_o the_o work_n of_o prayer_n to_o be_v as_o great_a hinderer_n of_o that_o work_n of_o prayer_n as_o of_o any_o other_o if_o he_o can_v keep_v from_o it_o he_o will_v

that_o pray_v and_o wait_v upon_o he_o and_o when_o the_o devil_n see_v i_o bend_v upon_o prayer_n than_o he_o put_v i_o upon_o prayer_n which_o in_o time_n i_o see_v be_v his_o work_n and_o in_o time_n it_o prove_v great_o to_o the_o devil_n disadvantage_n and_o much_o for_o my_o encouragement_n i_o find_v by_o experience_n that_o he_o be_v like_o a_o ape_n imitate_v what_o ever_o good_a god_n do_v in_o the_o soul_n and_o there_o be_v need_n of_o much_o of_o god_n to_o discern_v his_o policy_n in_o this_o particular_a he_o have_v counterfeit_a grace_n as_o well_o as_o god_n have_v true_a grace_n and_o he_o have_v evil_a joy_n as_o god_n have_v soule-refreshing_a revive_v and_o sweet_a consolation_n he_o will_v have_v scripture_n as_o well_o as_o god_n only_o his_o be_v to_o

pleasant_a when_o satan_n see_v he_o can_v not_o defile_v my_o soul_n by_o one_o temptation_n he_o set_v upon_o i_o by_o another_o and_o with_o manifold_a temptation_n all_o at_o once_o so_o that_o he_o put_v my_o soul_n into_o a_o dark_a mist_n by_o his_o temptation_n and_o i_o walk_v sad_o for_o some_o day_n together_o to_o the_o wonderment_n of_o my_o friend_n that_o be_v about_o i_o i_o can_v not_o express_v myself_o in_o any_o thing_n because_o my_o temptation_n and_o tumult_n in_o my_o spirit_n be_v so_o high_a in_o many_o thing_n but_o the_o lord_n at_o that_o time_n do_v much_o
