weak_a child_n as_o from_o a_o strong_a nor_o from_o a_o sick_a servant_n as_o from_o a_o healthful_a it_o be_v his_o wisdom_n to_o consider_v what_o we_o be_v and_o according_o to_o deal_v with_o we_o and_o therefore_o we_o may_v be_v sure_a that_o he_o will_v not_o cast_v we_o off_o for_o our_o infirmity_n but_o as_o a_o father_n bear_v with_o his_o son_n that_o fear_v he_o though_o he_o spy_v many_o fault_n in_o he_o like_a as_o a_o father_n pity_v his_o child_n so_o the_o lord_n pity_v they_o that_o fear_v he_o for_o he_o know_v our_o frame_n heremember_v that_o we_o be_v but_o dust_n psal._n 103._o 13._o 14._o so_o the_o lord_n have_v compassion_n on_o they_o that_o fear_v he_o why_o because_o he_o know_v whereof_o we_o be_v make_v he_o remember_v that_o we_o be_v but_o dust_n so_o we_o see_v that_o when_o the_o israelite_n have_v so_o provoke_v god_n that_o he_o can_v scarce_o hold_v his_o hand_n off_o they_o yet_o he_o stay_v his_o hand_n even_o then_o when_o he_o be_v ready_a to_o strike_v and_o many_o time_n say_v the_o text_n psal._n 78._o 38._o 39_o but_o he_o be_v full_a of_o compassion_n forgive_v their_o iniquity_n and_o destroy_v they_o not_o yea_o many_o a_o time_n turn_v he_o his_o anger_n away_o and_o do_v not_o stir_v up_o his_o wrath_n for_o he_o remember_v that_o they_o be_v but_o flesh_n and_o that_o they_o be_v even_o a_o wind_n that_o pass_v away_o and_o come_v not_o again_o he_o call_v back_o his_o anger_n because_o he_o remember_v they_o be_v but_o flesh_n and_o herein_o god_n show_v his_o wisdom_n and_o we_o we_o a_o wise_a man_n look_v for_o no_o more_o of_o his_o servant_n then_o he_o be_v able_a to_o do_v but_o on_o the_o contrary_a a_o foolish_a man_n expect_v asmuch_o from_o a_o weak_a as_o from_o a_o strong_a and_o fall_v present_o upon_o he_o if_o he_o do_v not_o as_o much_o so_o we_o ourselves_o show_v our_o wisdom_n in_o other_o thing_n as_o for_o example_n if_o there_o be_v a_o little_a gold_n and_o much_o dross_n mingle_v together_o a_o wise_a man_n will_v not_o for_o the_o dross_n sake_n cast_v away_o the_o gold_n but_o purify_v and_o try_v it_o so_o if_o we_o have_v corn_n although_o there_o be_v some_o cockle_n in_o it_o yet_o a_o wise_a husbandman_n will_v not_o reject_v it_o but_o winnough_o it_o and_o purge_v it_o so_o god_n be_v a_o wise_a god_n do_v not_o cast_v we_o off_o present_o for_o our_o infirmity_n if_o there_o be_v any_o truth_n and_o sincerity_n in_o we_o and_o as_o god_n be_v wise_a so_o compassionate_a and_o bear_v with_o our_o infirmity_n the_o taskmaster_n want_v compassion_n and_o therefore_o expect_v more_o from_o the_o israelite_n than_o they_o be_v able_a to_o do_v so_o whilst_o we_o be_v under_o the_o law_n there_o be_v a_o burden_n lay_v upon_o we_o which_o neither_o we_o nor_o our_o our_o father_n can_v bear_v but_o now_o if_o we_o be_v once_o undergrace_n the_o lord_n do_v not_o lay_v such_o load_n upon_o we_o but_o if_o there_o be_v truth_n in_o the_o heart_n he_o accept_v of_o our_o endeavour_n although_o accompany_v with_o many_o weakness_n a_o second_o reason_n be_v take_v 2._o from_o the_o covenant_n for_o so_o long_o as_o a_o man_n be_v in_o the_o covenant_n his_o infirmity_n can_v cut_v he_o off_o from_o god_n mercy_n now_o it_o be_v certain_a we_o may_v have_v many_o infirmity_n and_o the_o covenant_n remain_v unbroken_a for_o every_o sin_n do_v not_o break_v the_o covenant_n but_o those_o that_o untie_v the_o marriage_n knot_n as_o in_o marriage_n every_o offence_n do_v not_o disannul_v the_o marriage_n but_o only_o the_o breach_n of_o the_o marriage_n vow_n to_o wit_n adultery_n so_o only_o here_o those_o sin_n that_o break_v the_o covenant_n which_o untie_v the_o marriage_n knot_n as_o it_o be_v and_o that_o be_v first_o when_o we_o take_v any_o 1._o new_a master_n and_o this_o we_o do_v when_o we_o let_v any_o sin_n reign_n in_o our_o heart_n if_o we_o set_v up_o any_o sin_n that_o command_v and_o rule_v we_o then_o the_o covenant_n be_v break_v for_o thou_o have_v choose_v a_o new_a master_n second_o if_o we_o take_v another_o 2._o husband_n and_o this_o we_o do_v when_o we_o make_v a_o league_n with_o sin_n if_o we_o be_v in_o league_n with_o any_o thing_n in_o the_o world_n that_o do_v draw_v our_o heart_n from_o god_n we_o break_v our_o covenant_n in_o choose_v another_o husband_n but_o other_o fail_n do_v not_o break_v the_o covenant_n and_o while_o it_o remain_v in_o force_n we_o have_v interest_n in_o god_n mercy_n for_o he_o can_v forget_v his_o covenant_n which_o if_o he_o shall_v yet_o christ_n be_v the_o mediator_n and_o will_v put_v he_o in_o mind_n of_o it_o a_o three_o reason_n be_v draw_v 3._o from_o the_o common_a condition_n of_o all_o the_o saint_n take_v all_o the_o saint_n that_o ever_o live_v and_o every_o one_o of_o they_o have_v have_v infirmity_n now_o if_o god_n shall_v be_v too_o extreme_a to_o mark_v our_o iniquity_n psal._n 130._o 3._o 4._o who_o shall_v stand_v if_o god_n shall_v cast_v off_o all_o that_o have_v infirmity_n than_o none_o shall_v be_v save_v and_o then_o wherefore_o have_v christ_n die_v but_o say_v the_o psalmist_n mercy_n be_v with_o thou_o therefore_o thou_o be_v to_o be_v fear_v that_o be_v if_o god_n be_v so_o severe_a a_o master_n that_o he_o will_v endure_v no_o fail_v than_o he_o shall_v have_v no_o servant_n but_o it_o be_v his_o mercy_n that_o make_v he_o to_o be_v fear_v and_o thus_o we_o see_v that_o infirmity_n do_v not_o cut_v we_o off_o from_o god_n mercy_n if_o we_o be_v sound_a at_o the_o heart_n but_o withal_o we_o must_v remember_v these_o two_o caution_n first_o though_o infirmity_n 1._o do_v not_o utter_o exclude_v we_o from_o the_o mercy_n of_o god_n yet_o they_o may_v bring_v upon_o we_o many_o and_o sore_a affliction_n and_o hinder_v we_o of_o many_o blessing_n &_o here_o we_o must_v remember_v these_o distinction_n first_o there_o be_v a_o voluntary_a infirmity_n which_o proceed_v 1._o from_o our_o own_o will_n &_o by_o how_o much_o the_o more_o will_n be_v in_o a_o infirmity_n by_o so_o much_o the_o more_o god_n be_v provoke_v to_o anger_n and_o to_o punish_v and_o afflict_v we_o but_o there_o be_v another_o infirmity_n which_o arise_v from_o some_o impediment_n which_o a_o man_n will_v fain_o remove_v but_o he_o can_v as_o for_o example_n a_o man_n will_v fain_o remember_v all_o he_o hear_v but_o he_o can_v because_o his_o memory_n be_v frail_a and_o he_o can_v help_v it_o he_o will_v convert_v many_o to_o god_n but_o he_o can_v because_o he_o have_v weak_a part_n he_o will_v fain_o have_v such_o a_o lust_n remove_v but_o god_n do_v not_o please_v to_o set_v his_o spirit_n at_o liberty_n though_o he_o do_v his_o uttermost_a endeavour_n for_o that_o must_v still_o be_v remember_v for_o if_o a_o man_n say_v he_o will_v pray_v fervent_o morning_n &_o evening_n &_o yet_o sit_v still_o &_o do_v not_o set_v upon_o the_o duty_n and_o strive_v to_o do_v it_o this_o be_v the_o act_n of_o the_o sluggard_n so_o also_o in_o other_o thing_n second_o there_o be_v a_o infirmity_n 2_o that_o arise_v from_o want_n of_o grow_v for_o there_o be_v some_o babe_n in_o christ_n some_o bud_n that_o be_v but_o tender_a even_o as_o a_o tree_n have_v some_o bud_n and_o sprout_n as_o well_o as_o branch_n and_o these_o suck_n sap_n from_o the_o as_o well_o as_o the_o branch_n now_o god_n bear_v much_o with_o those_o that_o be_v such_o and_o will_v not_o present_o punish_v they_o for_o their_o fail_n he_o will_v not_o in_o this_o case_n quench_v the_o smoke_a flax_n nor_o break_v the_o bruise_a reed_n he_o will_v not_o put_v new_a wine_n into_o old_a vessel_n he_o know_v there_o be_v much_o of_o the_o old_a man_n still_o in_o they_o and_o therefore_o will_v not_o enjoin_v they_o to_o such_o great_a duty_n as_o they_o be_v not_o able_a to_o perform_v he_o will_v not_o put_v too_o much_o on_o they_o at_o the_o first_o he_o maunds_z we_o not_o to_o reject_v or_o despise_v those_o that_o be_v weak_a rom._n 14._o 13._o let_v we_o not_o therefore_o judge_v one_o another_o any_o more_o but_o judge_v this_o rather_o that_o no_o man_n put_v a_o stumbling-blocke_n or_o a_o occasion_n to_o fall_v in_o his_o brother_n way_n and_o sure_o then_o himself_o will_v practise_v that_o rule_n that_o he_o prescribe_v to_o we_o but_o now_o there_o be_v other_o infirmity_n that_o arise_v from_o sickness_n in_o those_o that_o have_v be_v strong_a and_o through_o some_o distemper_n be_v become_v sick_a and_o be_v fall_v from_o their_o first_o love_n as_o in_o the_o 2_o
