these_o four_o with_o these_o two_o motive_n 1._o know_v this_o christian_n that_o the_o great_a reason_n of_o all_o the_o anxiety_n and_o torment_n of_o thy_o life_n flow_v not_o so_o much_o from_o

the_o spirit_n if_o we_o can_v get_v the_o victory_n over_o our_o desire_n we_o may_v go_v through_o the_o world_n sing_v hardly_o will_v we_o be_v torment_v with_o the_o thing_n that_o torment_v we_o one_o desire_n brave_a apparel_n another_o honour_n a_o three_o good_a entertainment_n and_o they_o want_v they_o it_o be_v not_o the_o want_n of_o they_o that_o be_v the_o cross_n but_o their_o desire_n that_o make_v it_o the_o cross_n it_o be_v evident_a from_o this_o one_o will_v want_v their_o desire_n and_o not_o be_v cross_v one_o will_v take_v well_o with_o a_o reeky_a cottage_n and_o a_o piece_n of_o brown_a bread_n that_o another_o will_v account_v a_o cross_n the_o reason_n be_v the_o one_o desire_n be_v not_o like_o the_o other_o a_o second_o motive_n be_v it_o be_v one_o of_o the_o great_a reason_n that_o make_v christ_n have_v so_o content_v a_o lise_fw-fr in_o the_o world_n there_o be_v hardly_o a_o man_n the_o father_n have_v cross_v more_o than_o he_o do_v he_o and_o

to_o lay_v his_o head_n he_o be_v sometime_o lead_v so_o the_o wilderess_n and_o tempt_v of_o the_o devil_n and_o the_o prince_n of_o this_o world_n come_v against_o he_o but_o have_v nothing_o within_o he_o for_o he_o have_v no_o desire_n therefore_o he_o be_v not_o disquiet_v he_o will_v come_v to_o a_o hill_n side_n and_o sleep_v all_o night_n another_o time_n he_o will_v be_v on_o the_o

have_v mo_z cross_n and_o more_o quietness_n the_o reason_n be_v he_o have_v no_o desire_n if_o we_o can_v get_v the_o victory_n over_o our_o pride_n our_o ambition_n our_o lasciviousness_n the_o hundred_o part_n of_o what_o we_o have_v will_v satisfy_v we_o but_o it_o be_v our_o appetite_n and_o not_o our_o necessity_n that_o have_v a_o great_a influence_n on_o our_o torment_n use_v 3_o three_o for_o use_n be_v the_o covenant_n satisfaction_n to_o all_o our_o desire_n then_o the_o three_o use_n be_v of_o consolation_n and_o it_o speak_v comfortable_o especial_o to_o three_o sort_n 1._o to_o they_o that_o it_o may_v be_v have_v not_o much_o sense_n and_o experimental_a proof_n of_o god_n ready_o when_o they_o go_v to_o pray_v he_o hide_v he_o neither_o give_v liberty_n to_o

you_o the_o covenant_n must_v be_v take_v for_o the_o inheritance_n so_o long_o as_o we_o be_v minor_n we_o must_v look_v on_o the_o promise_v as_o a_o heretage_n and_o if_o he_o lie_v in_o a_o

from_o it_o as_o hungry_a as_o i_o go_v and_o yet_o he_o have_v give_v thou_o a_o part_n of_o the_o covenant_n it_o be_v lamentable_a to_o see_v so_o excellent_a a_o covenant_n purchase_v by_o such_o a_o person_n contrive_v by_o such_o a_o mediator_n and_o to_o see_v believer_n lay_v so_o little_a weight_n on_o it_o suppose_v he_o deny_v thou_o sense_n in_o thy_o spiritual_a interest_n yet_o thou_o have_v ground_n to_o sing_v that_o thou_o have_v satisfaction_n to_o thy_o desire_n if_o he_o lie_v in_o a_o part_n of_o the_o covenant_n and_o clear_v up_o thy_o interest_n in_o it_o 2_o for_o consolation_n they_o that_o go_v through_o the_o world_n load_v with_o cross_n they_o hardly_o find_v the_o world_n but_o scowl_n on_o they_o they_o may_v be_v prone_a to_o bring_v up_o a_o ill_a report_n on_o god_n to_o say_v he_o give_v other_o folk_n their_o desire_n but_o give_v not_o i_o my_o but_o have_v he_o give_v thou_o the_o covenant_n and_o will_v thou_o say_v any_o thing_n to_o

in_o god_n remember_v you_o that_o note_v that_o in_o the_o covenant_n god_n lay_v himself_o out_o to_o the_o outmost_a like_o a_o certain_a king_n make_v a_o feast_n at_o the_o marriage_n of_o his_o

occur_v in_o this_o verse_n and_o the_o observation_n shall_v be_v this_o doctrine_n that_o the_o covenant_n be_v satisfaction_n to_o all_o our_o desire_n if_o god_n have_v make_v with_o i_o a_o everlasting_a covenant_n it_o be_v that_o which_o may_v satisfy_v all_o my_o desire_n it_o be_v true_a it_o will_v not_o satisfy_v our_o irregular_a and_o unwarrantable_a desire_n it_o will_v not_o satisfy_v covetous_a and_o lascivious_a desire_n i_o remember_v i_o read_v of_o a_o man_n who_o come_v to_o a_o philosopher_n o_o say_v he_o he_o be_v a_o happy_a man_n that_o have_v all_o his_o desire_n the_o philosopher_n answer_v he_o be_v a_o happy_a man_n but_o a_o far_o happy_a man_n that_o desire_v nothing_o but_o what_o he_o ought_v to_o desire_v so_o if_o we_o desire_v nothing_o but_o what_o we_o ought_v to_o desire_v the_o covenant_n will_v satisfy_v all_o our_o desire_n this_o shall_v be_v the_o theme_n that_o i_o resolve_v to_o follow_v a_o little_a that_o a_o interest_n in_o the_o everlasting_a covenant_n be_v satisfaction_n to_o all_o our_o lawful_a desire_n it_o will_v be_v a_o great_a work_n to_o convince_v you_o of_o this_o but_o i_o hope_v to_o make_v it_o appear_v from_o very_o rational_a ground_n and_o so_o let_v you_o see_v that_o the_o torment_n we_o have_v in_o our_o life_n it_o be_v not_o from_o want_n of_o ground_n of_o satisfaction_n to_o our_o desire_n but_o from_o the_o irregularity_n of_o our_o desire_n we_o go_v in_o our_o desire_n beyond_o what_o we_o ought_v that_o the_o covenant_n afford_v ground_n of_o satisfaction_n to_o all_o our_o desire_n before_o i_o prove_v it_o i_o must_v give_v you_o this_o caution_n as_o introductory_n to_o it_o satisfaction_n of_o desire_n consist_v in_o two_o thing_n 1._o the_o object_n that_o satisfy_v must_v be_v adequat_fw-la and_o full_a it_o must_v be_v as_o comprehensive_a as_o the_o desire_n be_v large_a other_o way_n it_o can_v satisfy_v it_o be_v very_o observable_a that_o schoolman_n teach_v that_o in_o glory_n if_o there_o be_v one_o desire_n unsatisfied_a it_o will_v be_v a_o degree_n of_o misery_n he_o that_o have_v a_o appetite_n and_o have_v his_o desire_n unsatisfied_a be_v in_o so_o far_o miserable_a and_o if_o there_o be_v one_o desire_n and_o one_o thing_n in_o our_o appetite_n not_o satisfy_v it_o will_v be_v a_o degree_n of_o misery_n so_o what_o be_v satisfy_v to_o desire_n must_v be_v adequat_fw-la and_o full_o proportion_v to_o the_o desire_n 2._o as_o it_o must_v be_v a_o full_a so_o it_o must_v be_v suitable_a satisfaction_n as_o some_o describe_v it_o it_o consist_v in_o a_o suitableness_n of_o the_o object_n to_o the_o faculty_n so_o that_o if_o you_o ask_v what_o be_v that_o which_o satisfy_v the_o desire_n of_o the_o soul_n it_o be_v a_o full_a object_n and_o a_o object_n suitable_a to_o all_o the_o faculty_n in_o the_o soul_n so_o when_o we_o say_v the_o covenant_n satisfy_v all_o our_o desire_n there_o be_v two_o thing_n wemu_v instruct_v to_o you_o that_o the_o covenant_n be_v full_a and_o comprehensive_a of_o all_o the_o good_a we_o can_v desire_v and_o that_o these_o good_a thing_n be_v suitable_a to_o our_o desire_n these_o two_o i_o will_v labour_v to_o make_v out_o in_o this_o sermon_n that_o i_o may_v prove_v that_o the_o covenant_n be_v satisfaction_n to_o all_o our_o desire_n i_o shall_v first_o prove_v it_o to_o be_v full_a and_o adequat_fw-la and_o then_o prove_v it_o to_o be_v suitable_a and_o consequent_o prove_v it_o full_a satisfaction_n to_o all_o our_o desire_n first_o that_o the_o covenant_n be_v full_a abundant_o adequat_fw-la and_o comprehensive_a of_o all_o the_o thing_n we_o can_v warrantable_a desire_n for_o clear_v of_o this_o i_o will_v offer_v you_o first_o some_o general_a proof_n of_o it_o and_o second_o some_o particular_a and_o special_a proof_n of_o it_o first_o i_o will_v offer_v you_o some_o general_a proof_n of_o it_o and_o by_o way_n of_o introduction_n to_o they_o i_o will_v give_v you_o this_o in_o the_o entry_n that_o god_n in_o the_o covenant_n resolve_v to_o lay_v himself_o out_o to_o the_o outmost_a mat._n 22._o the_o gospel-offers_a in_o the_o covenant_n be_v like_a to_o a_o certain_a king_n that_o make_v a_o marriage-feast_n at_o the_o marriage_n of_o his_o only_a son_n a_o king_n make_v a_o feast_n and_o make_v a_o marriage-feast_n at_o the_o marriage_n of_o his_o only_a son_n thou_o may_v be_v sure_a he_o will_v lay_v himself_o out_o to_o the_o outmost_a at_o that_o feast_n so_o the_o lord_n have_v lay_v himself_o out_o to_o the_o outmost_a in_o the_o covenant_n this_o be_v general_o premise_v it_o may_v make_v you_o expect_v that_o it_o will_v not_o be_v difficult_a to_o prove_v that_o the_o covenant_n contain_v satisfaction_n to_o all_o our_o desire_n and_o i_o will_v offer_v you_o these_o four_o general_a proof_n of_o it_o 1._o the_o covenant_n contain_v all_o the_o excellency_n that_o be_v to_o be_v find_v in_o the_o creature_n ordinary_o our_o desire_n they_o be_v regulat_fw-la by_o our_o sense_n like_o eva_n we_o see_v the_o apple_n and_o we_o have_v a_o appetite_n after_o it_o according_a as_o we_o see_v our_o appetite_n and_o our_o desire_n be_v regulat_fw-la by_o hear_v and_o see_v there_o be_v nothing_o excellent_a that_o ever_o we_o hear_v of_o or_o see_v but_o it_o be_v contain_v in_o the_o covenant_n take_v a_o

to_o gather_v all_o the_o similitude_n together_o and_o they_o evidence_n that_o there_o be_v nothing_o excellent_a in_o the_o creature_n but_o it_o be_v promise_v in_o the_o covenant_n if_o a_o man_n

since_o the_o covenant_n contain_v all_o these_o thing_n that_o be_v excellent_a among_o the_o creature_n be_v it_o any_o wonder_n that_o it_o satisfy_v all_o desire_n all_o pleasure_n profit_n

let_v they_o be_v in_o prison_n let_v they_o be_v in_o a_o fever_n in_o reproach_n or_o in_o poverty_n yet_o they_o have_v a_o great_a deal_n of_o sweet_a quietness_n i_o will_v tell_v you_o they_o have_v all_o their_o desire_n satisfy_v in_o the_o covenant_n they_o desire_v no_o more_o and_o a_o man_n that_o have_v all_o his_o desire_n in_o what_o condition_n soever_o he_o be_v he_o be_v
