in_o all_o thing_n frightful_o such_o be_v time_n of_o prevalent_a melancholy_n and_o of_o satan_n temptation_n in_o their_o violence_n and_o hurry_n and_o of_o frequent_o prevail_a corruption_n before_o that_o by_o frequent_a act_n we_o have_v gain_v some_o new_a experience_n of_o ourselves_o in_o these_o time_n a_o man_n present_a and_o immediate_a duty_n be_v to_o put_v forth_o the_o

christ_n even_o as_o the_o sting_a israelite_n look_v unto_o the_o brazen_a serpent_n then_o he_o who_o be_v blind_a be_v sure_o dead_a and_o now_o he_o that_o see_v not_o christ_n can_v be_v alive_a if_o then_o a_o man_n have_v look_v to_o aaron_n or_o moses_n or_o both_o that_o can_v not_o have_v save_v his_o life_n and_o now_o let_v a_o man_n have_v all_o possible_a respect_n to_o ceremonial_a

master_n as_o a_o child_n his_o father_n as_o a_o wife_n her_o husband_n as_o a_o subject_a his_o king_n as_o a_o ransom_a slave_n his_o redeemer_n the_o father_n that_o draw_v soul_n unto_o christ_n efficacious_o command_v all_o from_o the_o great_a to_o the_o very_a lest_o to_o hear_v his_o son_n in_o short_a the_o gospel_n evident_o declare_v that_o grace_n as_o star_n do_v differ_v in_o

differ_v from_o other_o in_o strength_n of_o part_n and_o in_o acts._n yet_o of_o they_o that_o be_v so_o much_o as_o newborn_a or_o spiritual_o quicken_v and_o have_v christ_n in_o the_o low_a degree_n form_v in_o they_o we_o be_v teach_v that_o all_o do_v look_v unto_o come_v unto_o receive_v and_o hear_v jesus_n christ_n as_o he_o be_v offer_v by_o god_n that_o be_v as_o prophet_n priest_n and_o king_n to_o give_v we_o the_o sight_n the_o pardon_n and_o the_o cure_n of_o our_o spiritual_a disease_n that_o we_o want_v i_o will_v be_v yet_o more_o plain_a and_o instructive_a unto_o the_o least_o babe_n who_o help_n i_o do_v most_o especial_o design_n and_o therefore_o conclude_v with_o this_o assertion_n there_o be_v twelve_o step_n that_o man_n take_v in_o sin_n and_o in_o grace_n in_o evil_a and_o good_a towards_o hell_n and_o heaven_n the_o least_o of_o damn_a sinner_n take_v they_o in_o sin_n and_o the_o least_o of_o redeem_a saint_n take_v they_o in_o grace_n he_o that_o take_v they_o in_o sin_n however_o he_o be_v paint_v he_o be_v a_o very_a sepulchre_n he_o that_o take_v they_o in_o grace_n howsoever_o he_o may_v be_v defile_v blemish_v and_o blacken_v he_o be_v unquestionable_o a_o live_a temple_n of_o god_n god_n dwell_v in_o he_o and_o he_o in_o god_n these_o step_v here_o follow_v in_o their_o natural_a order_n they_o be_v stranger_n at_o home_n that_o ken_v they_o not_o 1._o the_o first_o be_v the_o admission_n of_o suggestion_n unregenerate_a man_n admit_v the_o suggestion_n of_o sin_n and_o satan_n and_o the_o world_n they_o brook_v and_o bear_v they_o as_o eve_n do_v the_o serpent_n but_o the_o suggestion_n of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n and_o his_o minister_n concern_v repentance_n and_o faith_n and_o holiness_n they_o can_v bear_v but_o turn_v from_o they_o as_o from_z offers_z to_o their_o loss_n even_o with_o scorn_n if_o not_o rage_n regenerate_v soul_n act_n quite_o contrary_o they_o be_v impatient_a most_o time_n of_o sinful_a motion_n and_o answer_v they_o as_o joseph_n answer_v his_o mistress_n with_o detestation_n and_o hasty_a flight_n and_o as_o for_o the_o heavenly_a motion_n foresay_v they_o well_o endure_v they_o give_v they_o audience_n and_o turn_v not_o away_o from_o they_o as_o from_o thing_n stingy_a and_o bite_a 2._o the_o second_o be_v the_o retention_n of_o suggestion_n admit_v unregenerate_a man_n hold_v their_o sinful_a one_o in_o mind_n and_o talk_v with_o themselves_o concern_v they_o in_o secret_a place_n regenerate_v man_n do_v likewise_o retain_v god_n and_o his_o minister_n suggestion_n unto_o they_o and_o a_o great_a deal_n of_o discourse_n they_o have_v with_o themselves_o about_o the_o same_o they_o commune_v with_o their_o heart_n upon_o their_o bed_n while_o other_o sleep_n 3._o the_o three_o be_v the_o approbation_n of_o suggestion_n retain_v unregenerate_a man_n do_v next_o smile_v upon_o their_o sinful_a one_o inward_o say_v this_o be_v a_o agreeable_a and_o a_o sweet_a suggestion_n i_o will_v sure_o follow_v it_o if_o i_o can_v so_o sweet_a it_o be_v i_o can_v spit_v it_o out_o of_o my_o mind_n the_o regenerate_v do_v in_o like_a sort_n favour_n and_o like_v well_o the_o holy_a suggestion_n unto_o they_o make_v say_v in_o their_o heart_n good_a be_v this_o word_n of_o the_o lord_n o_o that_o we_o have_v skill_n zeal_n
