have_v begin_v to_o resolve_v to_o follow_v the_o lord_n in_o his_o pure_a way_n of_o holiness_n thus_o open_v unto_o you_o in_o the_o light_n though_o to_o the_o loss_n of_o all_o and_o though_o it_o be_v to_o the_o bear_v your_o part_n of_o the_o great_a reproach_n that_o lie_v upon_o they_o that_o love_v he_o more_o than_o their_o life_n and_o at_o such_o a_o time_n there_o be_v feel_v a_o secret_a joy_n in_o a_o hide_a ground_n in_o your_o soul_n and_o the_o seed_n of_o the_o kingdom_n that_o have_v be_v long_o bury_v up_o begin_v to_o spring_v up_o in_o you_o in_o which_o seed_n your_o soul_n feel_v some_o touching_n of_o that_o heavenly_a life_n &_o joy_n which_o for_o the_o time_n exceed_v all_o thing_n that_o this_o world_n can_v afford_v and_o whensoever_o you_o come_v to_o feel_v this_o refresh_a dew_n upon_o your_o soul_n then_o take_v heed_n and_o wait_v single_o in_o the_o sense_n of_o it_o keep_v your_o eye_n to_o the_o joy_n that_o be_v now_o set_v before_o you_o in_o christ_n jesus_n the_o seed_n for_o if_o you_o let_v your_o mind_n wander_v and_o your_o eye_n gad_n abroad_o there_o be_v object_n on_o every_o hand_n to_o lead_v you_o out_o from_o your_o

dwell_v nor_o take_v delight_n in_o a_o pollute_a temple_n but_o will_v withdraw_v himself_o as_o he_o do_v from_o israel_n of_o old_a and_o from_o their_o temple_n when_o it_o be_v pollute_v and_o profane_v and_o beside_o when_o your_o mind_n be_v take_v hold_v of_o by_o any_o of_o the_o corruptible_a thing_n in_o this_o changeable_a world_n there_o will_v present_o kindle_v a_o desire_v long_a and_o lust_a after_o the_o enjoyment_n of_o those_o thing_n though_o contrary_a to_o the_o will_n of_o god_n and_o then_o next_o the_o reasoner_n and_o consulter_n get_v up_o in_o thou_o and_o start_v a_o question_n may_v not_o i_o enjoy_v the_o lord_n and_o this_o may_v not_o i_o keep_v in_o the_o way_n of_o truth_n and_o yet_o do_v this_o or_o that_o thing_n which_o my_o heart_n desire_v and_o though_o it_o be_v not_o perfect_o according_a to_o the_o truth_n make_v manifest_a in_o i_o yet_o i_o will_v have_v my_o will_n my_o lust_n my_o desire_n satisfy_v but_o this_o one_o time_n and_o that_o be_v not_o much_o say_v the_o consulter_n and_o this_o be_v but_o a_o small_a matter_n there_o be_v other_o that_o do_v great_a thing_n than_o this_o and_o such_o like_a reason_n enter_v the_o mind_n and_o this_o grieve_v and_o vex_v that_o good_a and_o righteous_a tender_a spirit_n that_o move_v in_o thou_o and_o bring_v a_o weight_n and_o oppression_n upon_o the_o pure_a in_o thou_o and_o that_o withdraw_v itself_o again_o from_o thou_o in_o which_o thy_o light_n do_v arise_v unto_o thou_o and_o so_o a_o night_n come_v upon_o thou_o for_o where_o the_o serpent_n can_v bring_v any_o to_o make_v a_o question_n of_o obey_v the_o truth_n he_o be_v as_o ready_a to_o frame_v a_o answer_n as_o to_o beget_v the_o question_n but_o his_o answer_n always_o come_v with_o a_o liberty_n and_o persuasion_n to_o disobey_v as_o it_o do_v by_o eve_n in_o the_o beginning_n and_o when_o transgression_n be_v finish_v than_o death_n enter_v upon_o thou_o with_o its_o dark_a power_n and_o manifold_a sorrow_n pierce_v thy_o poor_a soul_n though_o the_o fruit_n be_v desirable_a to_o be_v eat_v yet_o now_o it_o be_v eat_v thou_o can_v not_o come_v at_o life_n to_o eat_v of_o that_o too_o though_o thou_o desire_v it_o but_o be_v drive_v out_o and_o keep_v out_o with_o a_o flame_a sword_n that_o turn_v every_o way_n against_o thou_o and_o here_o be_v now_o a_o ground_n lay_v for_o doubt_n and_o question_n of_o a_o high_a nature_n than_o before_o to_o raise_v in_o thou_o for_o before_o thou_o doubt_v of_o the_o truth_n itself_o whether_o it_o be_v the_o truth_n but_o now_o have_v taste_v of_o it_o and_o receive_v a_o convincement_n of_o it_o and_o yet_o let_v forth_o thy_o mind_n from_o it_o after_o other_o lover_n &_o thy_o ear_n after_o the_o voice_n of_o the_o adulteress_n and_o so_o cause_v the_o pure_a light_n to_o withdraw_v from_o thou_o through_o thy_o rebellion_n now_o thou_o desire_v thou_o may_v but_o see_v again_o what_o thou_o have_v see_v and_o feel_v again_o what_o thou_o have_v feel_v but_o doubt_v &_o fear_v that_o thou_o shall_v never_o see_v nor_o feel_v nor_o enjoy_v the_o like_a again_o and_o now_o thou_o wish_v o_o that_o thou_o have_v stand_v in_o the_o cross_n to_o thy_o own_o will_n &_o that_o thou_o have_v deny_v thyself_o that_o thou_o may_v not_o thus_o have_v lose_v the_o sight_n and_o sense_n of_o thy_o soul_n beloe_v and_o now_o thou_o see_v by_o woeful_a experience_n whence_o doubt_n and_o fear_n and_o sorrow_n do_v arise_v even_o thy_o join_n with_o the_o enemy_n who_o bring_v forth_o reason_n against_o the_o obedience_n to_o the_o light_n and_o therefore_o now_o hearken_v to_o that_o which_o remain_v in_o thou_o though_o darkness_n &_o sorrow_n do_v encompass_v thou_o yet_o there_o be_v something_o remain_v which_o give_v thou_o a_o sense_n of_o thy_o state_n and_o condition_n and_o make_v thou_o to_o know_v thy_o loss_n and_o want_n hear_v the_o voice_n of_o this_o and_o this_o will_v humble_v thou_o and_o bring_v thou_o into_o true_a brokenness_n of_o heart_n and_o contriteness_n of_o spirit_n and_o as_o thou_o come_v to_o know_v that_o state_n than_o thou_o have_v something_o to_o offer_v to_o the_o lord_n of_o his_o own_o prepare_v which_o will_v be_v far_o more_o acceptable_a to_o he_o then_o a_o multitude_n of_o word_n &_o preformance_n &_o duty_n so_o call_v and_o as_o thou_o in_o the_o true_a lowliness_n of_o mind_n do_v come_v before_o the_o lord_n and_o offer_v up_o this_o offering_n god_n will_v hear_v in_o heaven_n and_o will_v answer_v the_o cry_n of_o the_o poor_a and_o needy_a soul_n that_o can_v be_v satisfy_v without_o his_o presence_n and_o he_o will_v remember_v his_o mercy_n of_o old_a which_o never_o fail_v for_o his_o seed_n sake_n which_o be_v not_o yet_o bring_v forth_o in_o thou_o and_o when_o god_n do_v again_o shine_v forth_o unto_o thou_o and_o make_v his_o power_n know_v thou_o must_v expect_v it_o must_v be_v in_o judgement_n because_o of_o the_o transgression_n thou_o have_v go_v into_o that_o he_o may_v consume_v that_o in_o thou_o which_o lead_v thou_o into_o the_o sin_n from_o his_o pure_a law_n which_o be_v lgiht_v for_o zion_n be_v redeem_a by_o judgement_n and_o therefore_o take_v heed_n lest_o thou_o be_v offend_v at_o his_o appearance_n take_v heed_n that_o thou_o limit_v not_o the_o holy_a one_o but_o if_o his_o appearance_n be_v with_o more_o sharpness_n and_o bitterness_n to_o the_o carnal_a part_n than_o before_o it_o be_v but_o just_a it_o shall_v be_v so_o it_o be_v the_o lord_n let_v he_o do_v what_o he_o will_v he_o see_v more_o cause_n now_o than_o before_o by_o how_o much_o more_o thou_o have_v sin_v against_o his_o goodness_n but_o bow_v to_o his_o judgement_n bear_v his_o indignation_n as_o micah_n say_v because_o thou_o have_v sin_v against_o he_o mic._n 7.9_o and_o as_o thou_o yield_v to_o his_o righteous_a judgement_n thou_o will_v know_v the_o come_n to_o the_o midst_n of_o they_o in_o which_o the_o mercy_n be_v remember_v and_o make_v manifest_a and_o therefore_o the_o hasty_a and_o impatient_a that_o flee_v the_o judgement_n as_o soon_o as_o it_o begin_v a_o little_a to_o appear_v in_o they_o they_o never_o find_v the_o true_a deliverance_n but_o get_v ease_v another_o way_n which_o last_v but_o for_o a_o moment_n but_o they_o who_o come_v to_o know_v a_o thorough_a work_n wrought_v in_o their_o earth_n and_o the_o floor_n thorough_o purge_v they_o come_v to_o know_v the_o true_a and_o last_a peace_n to_o their_o immortal_a soul_n and_o although_o this_o be_v not_o obtain_v by_o ease_n and_o liberty_n to_o the_o carnal_a mind_n which_o must_v die_v yet_o the_o end_n crown_v all_o that_o hold_v out_o to_o it_o they_o be_v the_o save_v one_o as_o christ_n say_v mark_v 13.13_o and_o they_o find_v the_o return_v with_o sheaf_n as_o the_o prophet_n say_v psal_n 126.5_o 6._o they_o that_o sow_v in_o tear_n shall_v reap_v in_o joy_n they_o go_v forth_o say_v he_o with_o weep_v and_o bear_v precious_a seed_n but_o they_o shall_v return_v with_o joy_n and_o bring_v their_o sheaf_n and_o as_o christ_n say_v they_o that_o forsake_v father_n and_o mother_n wife_n and_o child_n house_n or_o land_n yea_o or_o their_o own_o life_n for_o my_o sake_n shall_v have_v a_o hundred_o fold_n in_o this_o time_n and_o in_o the_o
