the_o way_n of_o his_o worship_n seek_v to_o he_o for_o strength_n in_o every_o estate_n and_o condition_n what_o ever_o he_o put_v i_o into_o whether_o spiritual_a or_o temporal_a when_o satan_n

there_o be_v so_o much_o imperfection_n and_o then_o god_n be_v please_v for_o to_o make_v i_o apprehend_v that_o jesus_n christ_n must_v come_v and_o take_v away_o the_o imperfection_n of_o our_o

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 great_a refreshment_n to_o my_o spirit_n then_o i_o begin_v to_o make_v use_n of_o those_o weapon_n that_o the_o apostle_n speak_v of_o which_o be_v not_o carnal_a but_o mighty_a through_o god_n for_o the_o pull_n down_o strong_a hold_n etc._n etc._n and_o the_o lord_n do_v give_v i_o much_o sweetness_n by_o communion_n with_o himself_o so_o that_o i_o can_v go_v to_o he_o more_o adoption_n the_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

the_o same_o time_n to_o stay_v my_o soul_n upon_o it_o be_v god_n token_n to_o know_v paul_n by_o behold_v he_o pray_v from_o which_o word_n i_o see_v god_n take_v special_a notice_n of_o those_o 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 discourage_v from_o duty_n and_o god_n to_o encourage_v all_o the_o way_n of_o satan_n be_v evil_a and_o all_o the_o note_n note_n way_n of_o god_n be_v exceed_o good_a and_o his_o path_n be_v very_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 stay_n and_o refresh_v my_o spirit_n with_o the_o word_n isay_n 50._o 10._o whereby_o 10._o isa_n 50._o 10._o i_o see_v that_o my_o condition_n at_o that_o time_n be_v no_o other_o than_o be_v incident_a to_o god_n own_o people_n and_o so_o the_o lord_n carry_v i_o on_o from_o one_o condition_n to_o another_o in_o strait_n and_o reveal_v no_o more_o to_o i_o for_o the_o present_a then_o this_o that_o my_o condition_n be_v such_o as_o be_v incident_a to_o the_o saint_n the_o next_o thing_n i_o see_v be_v that_o jesus_n illumination_n more_o illumination_n christ_n be_v the_o justifier_n of_o his_o people_n and_o that_o justification_n be_v convey_v to_o the_o soul_n in_o a_o way_n of_o believe_a and_o then_o my_o soul_n say_v oh_o that_o i_o can_v believe_v on_o he_o that_o justify_v the_o ungodly_a the_o more_o understanding_n i_o have_v of_o god_n in_o that_o way_n the_o more_o i_o see_v of_o my_o own_o filthiness_n i_o see_v filthiness_n in_o the_o holy_a thing_n of_o god_n as_o perform_v by_o i_o so_o that_o i_o find_v that_o word_n of_o the_o apostle_n good_a that_o in_o i_o that_o be_v in_o my_o flesh_n dwell_v no_o good_a thing_n but_o to_o will_n be_v by_o the_o 7._o rom._n 7._o grace_n of_o god_n present_v with_o i_o but_o how_o to_o do_v good_a i_o find_v not_o which_o through_o the_o grace_n of_o god_n wrought_v in_o my_o soul_n a_o restless_a desire_n after_o a_o christ_n in_o a_o way_n of_o believe_a that_o so_o i_o may_v fetch_v strength_n from_o christ_n for_o the_o subdue_a of_o every_o corruption_n that_o i_o may_v know_v whether_o i_o be_v in_o a_o state_n of_o justification_n this_o i_o find_v that_o the_o more_o satan_n tempt_v i_o that_o his_o temptation_n be_v as_o a_o weapon_n put_v into_o my_o hand_n to_o fight_v against_o himself_o withal_o through_o the_o mighty_a operation_n of_o god_n his_o strength_n be_v make_v know_v in_o my_o weakness_n still_o hard_a i'faith_o hard_a god_n put_v into_o my_o soul_n such_o a_o restless_a disposition_n that_o i_o can_v not_o be_v satisfy_v without_o christ_n so_o that_o i_o say_v within_o myself_o give_v i_o a_o christ_n or_o i_o die_v and_o the_o disposition_n to_o believe_v i_o find_v very_o difficult_a and_o hard_a when_o god_n set_v i_o upon_o it_o a_o work_n too_o hard_o for_o i_o without_o the_o power_n of_o a_o omnipotent_a god_n which_o it_o the_o way_n of_o obtain_v it_o make_v i_o the_o more_o eagarly_a to_o pursue_v it_o at_o the_o hand_n of_o he_o who_o be_v able_a to_o give_v it_o god_n when_o his_o set_a time_n be_v come_v wrought_v every_o disposition_n in_o i_o suitable_a to_o the_o grace_n that_o he_o be_v about_o to_o convey_v to_o my_o soul_n and_o then_o i_o see_v nothing_o in_o any_o thing_n either_o in_o heaven_n or_o earth_n that_o can_v do_v i_o good_a but_o the_o reveal_n jesus_n christ_n to_o my_o soul_n duty_n will_v not_o justify_v no_o inherent_a grace_n be_v no_o justification_n in_o it_o
