cradle_n of_o security_n in_o such_o manner_n but_o learn_v that_o for_o so_o much_o as_o our_o life_n 1._o be_v a_o continual_a warrefare_n and_o man_n be_v 7._o bear_v to_o travail_v as_o the_o

that_o wey_v it_o a_o right_n for_o what_o be_v the_o cause_n that_o we_o see_v so_o many_o in_o trial_n and_o tribulation_n either_o impatient_a or_o count_v it_o untollerable_a utter_o to_o relent_v

if_o then_o we_o will_v profit_v aright_o by_o this_o doctrine_n we_o must_v rather_o look_v for_o the_o worse_o than_o the_o best_a and_o they_o shall_v no_o estate_n too_o much_o move_v we_o but_o in_o every_o condition_n whether_o of_o prosperity_n or_o adversity_n we_o shall_v set_v our_o hand_n 62_o to_o the_o plough_n not_o look_v back_o and_o so_o be_v find_v meet_v for_o the_o kingdom_n of_o god_n again_o it_o minister_v unto_o we_o a_o doctrine_n of_o exceed_a comfort_n for_o though_o trouble_v come_v one_o in_o the_o neck_n of_o a_o other_o yet_o be_v not_o our_o whole_a life_n one_o only_a trouble_n without_o intermission_n wherein_o appear_v the_o exceed_a love_n of_o our_o good_a and_o gracious_a god_n who_o know_v our_o weakness_n &_o pity_v our_o estate_n have_v in_o

thereby_o labour_v the_o more_o cunning_o to_o deceive_v wherein_o we_o may_v learn_v a_o lesson_n most_o needful_a to_o be_v observe_v to_o wit_n that_o satan_n such_o be_v his_o subtlety_n when_o he_o go_v about_o to_o seduce_v any_o that_o make_v a_o conscience_n of_o sin_n godliness_n &_o know_v in_o any_o measure_n how_o god_n be_v to_o be_v serve_v and_o have_v a_o care_n to_o put_v the_o

bring_v christ_n jesus_n unto_o jerusalem_n where_o he_o may_v seem_v to_o be_v most_o void_a of_o any_o molestation_n &_o there_o go_v about_o to_o mole_v he_o for_o in_o deed_n he_o be_v sure_a to_o be_v in_o those_o 19_o place_n and_o pry_v into_o those_o exercise_n that_o of_o themselves_o be_v most_o excellent_a as_o for_o example_n if_o he_o can_v not_o persuade_v with_o thou_o to_o leave_v of_o or_o never_o enterprise_v the_o hear_n of_o the_o word_n of_o god_n because_o thou_o know_v it_o must_v be_v hear_v if_o he_o can_v neither_o make_v thy_o profit_n keep_v thou_o at_o home_n nor_o thy_o pleasure_n cause_v thou_o to_o be_v employ_v else_o where_o word_n yet_o will_v he_o seek_v to_o deceive_v thou_o when_o thou_o come_v there_o for_o either_o he_o will_v labour_v to_o put_v into_o thy_o mind_n the_o consideration_n of_o such_o a_o business_n that_o thou_o have_v at_o home_n or_o such_o a_o thing_n that_o thou_o have_v leave_v undo_v or_o to_o make_v thou_o heavy_a and_o fall_v on_o sleep_n or_o else_o if_o he_o can_v not_o prevail_v that_o way_n well_o he_o will_v put_v other_o motion_n into_o thy_o mind_n which_o of_o themselves_o be_v very_o good_a and_o godly_a to_o this_o end_n that_o he_o may_v steal_v thy_o hart_n from_o attend_v unto_o the_o doctrine_n in_o hand_n and_o this_o be_v a_o marvelous_a subtlety_n for_o who_o will_v think_v that_o it_o be_v satan_n that_o put_v good_a cogitation_n into_o a_o man_n mind_n but_o it_o be_v most_o certain_a that_o if_o he_o can_v prevail_v no_o other_o way_n yet_o will_v he_o have_v thou_o employ_v in_o a_o other_o matter_n less_o needful_a for_o thou_o at_o that_o instant_n to_o the_o end_n that_o he_o may_v make_v thou_o sin_n against_o god_n in_o not_o listen_v unto_o he_o when_o he_o speak_v unto_o thou_o and_o that_o he_o may_v deprive_v thou_o of_o the_o benefit_n of_o that_o doctrine_n then_o deliver_v i_o speak_v not_o all_o this_o while_n of_o those_o who_o mind_n he_o do_v carry_v away_o by_o the_o wander_a of_o the_o eye_n by_o behold_v this_o man_n and_o that_o man_n yea_o &_o often_o the_o disquietness_n of_o some_o where_o at_o thou_o be_v great_o greeve_v do_v he_o also_o use_v as_o a_o mean_a to_o draw_v thy_o hart_n from_o the_o thing_n in_o hand_n prayer_n the_o same_o course_n he_o take_v even_o in_o the_o holy_a action_n of_o prayer_n how_o hard_o a_o thing_n be_v it_o for_o a_o man_n to_o pray_v zealous_o feel_o and_o attentive_o either_o he_o will_v make_v thou_o heavy_a and_o therefore_o he_o will_v say_v thou_o be_v unfit_a to_o prayer_n &_o so_o let_v it_o pass_v for_o that_o time_n or_o thou_o feel_v not_o the_o remorse_n of_o conscience_n for_o sin_n which_o heretofore_o thou_o have_v or_o which_o thou_o shall_v &_o therefore_o he_o will_v bid_v thou_o take_v heed_n thou_o pray_v not_o lest_o y_fw-mi u._fw-mi offend_v god_n in_o thy_o prayer_n or_o if_o by_o neither_o of_o these_o mean_n he_o can_v dissuade_v thou_o from_o that_o holy_a exercise_n yet_o will_v he_o come_v steal_v on_o thou_o to_o take_v away_o thy_o hart_n from_o that_o which_o thou_o speak_v &_o so_o make_v it_o unprofitable_a unto_o thou_o so_o that_o the_o true_a
