before_o any_o act_n will_v not_o hold_v that_o all_o our_o life_n after_o the_o act_n from_o immediate_a divine_a production_n go_v beyond_o the_o degree_n of_o the_o habit_n we_o know_v that_o god_n

our_o faculty_n to_o do_v they_o which_o be_v habitual_a grace_n b._n what_o be_v your_o own_o judgement_n in_o this_o point_n a._n our_o judgement_n be_v 1._o that_o he_o that_o true_o at_o the_o present_n prefer_v the_o please_a of_o god_n and_o his_o salvation_n before_o all_o this_o world_n be_v sincere_a and_o justify_v 2._o that_o of_o these_o some_o have_v well_o settle_v apprehension_n and_o resolution_n but_o other_o have_v such_o shallow_a conception_n and_o weak_a resolution_n as_o that_o a_o very_a strong_a temptation_n will_v change_v their_o mind_n and_o overcome_v they_o 3._o but_o if_o they_o escape_v such_o temptation_n and_o be_v not_o overcome_v they_o shall_v be_v save_v for_o god_n will_v not_o damn_v man_n for_o possible_a sin_n and_o apostasy_n which_o they_o be_v never_o guilty_a of_o but_o only_o for_o that_o which_o they_o do_v commit_v 4._o and_o that_o it_o be_v no_o certain_a sign_n of_o hypocrisy_n that_o they_o will_v have_v fall_v away_o have_v their_o temptation_n be_v great_a but_o only_o a_o proof_n that_o they_o be_v weak_a 5._o else_o to_o pray_v lead_v we_o not_o into_o temptation_n but_o deliver_v we_o from_o evil_a shall_v be_v rather_o discover_v not_o our_o sincerity_n or_o hypocrisy_n by_o temptation_n 6._o therefore_o god_n use_v to_o proportion_v man_n trial_n to_o their_o strength_n and_o that_o young_a and_o weak_a believer_n may_v persevere_v he_o expose_v they_o not_o antecedent_o to_o their_o provocation_n to_o great_a temptation_n as_o he_o do_v the_o strong_a even_o as_o while_o a_o young_a tree_n have_v little_a root_n it_o have_v also_o but_o a_o little_a top_n else_o have_v it_o the_o top_n of_o a_o great_a tree_n and_o but_o the_o root_n of_o a_o plant_n the_o first_o great_a wind_n will_v overturn_v it_o 7._o even_o strong_a christian_n may_v possible_o have_v some_o temptation_n which_o will_v over-match_n their_o strength_n and_o turn_v they_o from_o christ_n if_o god_n shall_v not_o keep_v they_o from_o such_o temptation_n 8._o therefore_o there_o be_v some_o temptation_n so_o far_o above_o the_o very_a nature_n of_o man_n by_o such_o grace_n as_o be_v not_o a_o mere_a miracle_n to_o be_v overcome_v as_o that_o god_n do_v not_o suffer_v mankind_n to_o be_v try_v with_o they_o as_o to_o be_v most_o exquisite_o torment_v many_o month_n or_o a_o long_a time_n and_o in_o that_o unusual_a trial_n of_o the_o poor_a christian_n in_o japon_n though_o many_o endure_v those_o torment_n many_o week_n yet_o nature_n can_v not_o sustain_v they_o to_o the_o last_o but_o when_o they_o have_v suffer_v as_o much_o as_o many_o smithfield_n burn_n to_o death_n at_o last_o almost_o all_o deny_v christ_n so_o that_o christianity_n be_v now_o there_o extirpate_v now_o if_o rogers_n bradford_n hooper_n show_v sincerity_n by_o suffer_a death_n why_o shall_v we_o not_o think_v that_o these_o do_v so_o that_o suffer_v far_o more_o than_o they_o though_o afterward_o the_o degree_n be_v great_a than_o their_o strength_n 9_o we_o hold_v that_o god_n punishment_n and_o mercy_n to_o man_n in_o this_o world_n be_v very_o much_o exercise_v in_o either_o permit_v or_o not_o permit_v great_a temptation_n enough_o temptation_n the_o same_o bradwardine_n l._n 2._o c._n 16._o hold_v that_o the_o cause_n of_o the_o damn_n obstinacy_n in_o sin_n be_v not_o only_a themselves_o and_o god_n not-willing_a to_o cure_v and_o save_v they_o but_o also_o god_n positive_a will_n by_o which_o their_o obstinate_a will_n be_v for_o ever_o continue_v in_o the_o act_n but_o i_o see_v not_o why_o we_o shall_v assert_v god_n positive_a will_n of_o sin_n in_o hell_n or_o earth_n when_o his_o not-effectual_a willing_a to_o cure_v it_o be_v enough_o and_o that_o for_o great_a sin_n he_o oft_o deliver_v man_n up_o to_o satan_n and_o give_v he_o the_o great_a power_n over_o they_o yea_o that_o the_o nature_n of_o sin_n itself_o be_v such_o as_o give_v great_a advantage_n to_o the_o tempter_n as_o he_o that_o will_v with_o achan_n look_v on_o the_o wedge_n of_o gold_n or_o that_o will_v please_v his_o taste_n with_o delicious_a drink_n and_o meat_n or_o that_o will_v permit_v his_o eye_n immodest_a spectacle_n have_v thereby_o let_v in_o the_o devil_n into_o his_o imagination_n and_o will_v not_o easy_o thence_o cast_v he_o out_o and_o on_o the_o other_o side_n he_o that_o please_v

last_o we_o therefore_o hold_v that_o see_v temptation_n do_v not_o only_o try_v our_o sincerity_n or_o hypocrisy_n else_o we_o shall_v desire_v they_o for_o self-examination_n but_o also_o tend_v to_o change_v man_n mind_n and_o make_v they_o worse_o the_o way_n to_o persevere_v be_v to_o pray_v against_o and_o avoid_v temptation_n and_o resist_v those_o that_o can_v be_v avoid_v this_o be_v our_o judgement_n in_o which_o you_o see_v that_o we_o hold_v that_o all_o weak_a christian_n that_o be_v sincere_a may_v have_v assurance_n of_o their_o present_a justification_n though_o they_o be_v not_o strong_a enough_o to_o stand_v the_o great_a trial_n and_o that_o they_o may_v well_o hope_v that_o god_n will_v save_v they_o from_o over_o strong_a temptation_n while_o they_o sincere_o do_v
