poor_a soul_n do_v lie_v some_o there_o be_v upon_o who_o heart_n the_o word_n of_o god_n have_v make_v some_o impression_n and_o they_o have_v be_v under_o some_o conviction_n of_o conscience_n and_o they_o have_v have_v some_o trouble_n for_o sin_n and_o some_o fear_n about_o their_o eternal_a state_n but_o these_o conviction_n be_v now_o abate_v and_o their_o trouble_n for_o sin_n grow_v less_o and_o less_o and_o they_o come_v into_o a_o calm_a they_o know_v not_o how_o and_o they_o bless_v themselves_o in_o this_o as_o if_o thing_n be_v much_o better_a than_o they_o be_v but_o alas_o they_o see_v not_o that_o this_o be_v the_o close_n up_o their_o day_n or_o of_o their_o eye_n they_o be_v now_o quiet_a indeed_o and_o can_v sin_v with_o less_o trouble_n then_o former_o the_o word_n come_v not_o near_o they_o and_o conscience_n hold_v her_o peace_n but_o this_o be_v a_o miserable_a sign_n of_o a_o decline_a soul_n look_v to_o it_o you_o who_o measure_n the_o goodness_n of_o your_o condition_n by_o the_o quietness_n and_o calmness_n of_o it_o not_o by_o your_o experience_n of_o the_o soundness_n of_o it_o consider_v that_o all_o thing_n be_v in_o peace_n and_o quiet_a whilst_o the_o strong_a man_n keep_v the_o house_n and_o that_o strong_a man_n be_v the_o devil_n when_o christ_n come_v and_o knock_v at_o the_o door_n of_o thy_o conscience_n it_o make_v some_o disturbance_n and_o the_o devil_n begin_v to_o bustle_v and_o make_v a_o noise_n but_o so_o soon_o as_o christ_n withdraw_v he_o lie_v down_o in_o his_o place_n again_o see_v all_o thing_n safe_a as_o you_o know_v if_o you_o come_v to_o a_o house_n in_o the_o night_n and_o knock_n at_o the_o door_n the_o dog_n will_v bark_v but_o when_o the_o noise_n be_v over_o and_o they_o perceive_v you_o be_v go_v they_o will_v lie_v down_o in_o their_o kennel_n again_o so_o be_v it_o in_o this_o case_n when_o christ_n come_v near_o unto_o thou_o and_o knock_v by_o conviction_n and_o thou_o be_v awaken_v and_o seem_v to_o offer_v at_o the_o way_n of_o christ_n and_o make_v a_o show_n of_o reformation_n than_o he_o roar_v upon_o thou_o and_o trouble_v thou_o but_o if_o he_o see_v that_o thou_o be_v willing_a to_o lie_v still_o and_o christ_n withdraw_v than_o satan_n will_v be_v quiet_a also_o and_o so_o thy_o conviction_n cease_v consider_v you_o that_o bless_v yourselves_o in_o the_o cessation_n of_o conviction_n and_o check_n of_o conscience_n that_o the_o night_n be_v the_o still_a and_o most_o silent_a time_n but_o it_o be_v the_o dark_a so_o may_v this_o time_n of_o quiet_a be_v the_o night_n of_o thy_o soul_n when_o the_o former_a time_n of_o thy_o conviction_n be_v thy_o day_n and_o do_v thou_o rejoice_v that_o thy_o day_n be_v go_v and_o that_o night_n be_v come_v upon_o thou_o oh_o if_o thou_o do_v but_o know_v what_o thou_o have_v lose_v in_o lose_v a_o faithful_a convince_a conscience_n thou_o will_v rather_o sit_v down_o and_o mourn_v over_o thy_o loss_n then_o rejoice_v in_o thy_o peace_n sin_n prevail_v over_o thou_o and_o thou_o be_v quiet_a the_o word_n smite_v and_o thou_o feel_v it_o not_o duty_n be_v neglect_v and_o thou_o be_v not_o trouble_v oh_o be_v this_o a_o peace_n to_o bless_v thyself_o in_o be_v thou_o joyful_a because_o quiet_a sure_o thou_o have_v little_a cause_n but_o you_o will_v say_v be_v it_o not_o our_o duty_n to_o rejoice_v in_o the_o peace_n of_o conscience_n and_o do_v not_o the_o people_n of_o god_n do_v so_o answ_n it_o be_v one_o thing_n to_o have_v peace_n of_o conscience_n and_o another_o thing_n to_o have_v quiet_a of_o conscience_n a_o enemy_n come_v and_o appear_v before_o a_o city_n and_o give_v it_o a_o alarm_n and_o perhaps_o he_o withdraw_v without_o storm_v of_o it_o upon_o the_o withdraw_n of_o the_o enemy_n there_o be_v quiet_a they_o be_v free_v from_o the_o fear_n of_o a_o present_a storm_n but_o there_o be_v no_o peace_n conclude_v betwixt_o they_o and_o the_o enemy_n perhaps_o be_v but_o withdraw_v to_o thy_o loss_n if_o they_o have_v come_v to_o a_o treaty_n and_o article_n of_o agreement_n have_v be_v draw_v up_o and_o the_o enemy_n have_v depart_v upon_o these_o than_o they_o may_v have_v rejoice_v in_o their_o peace_n but_o a_o wise_a man_n will_v not_o say_v such_o a_o enemy_n be_v at_o peace_n with_o we_o only_o they_o be_v quiet_a for_o the_o time_n but_o there_o be_v no_o cause_n to_o be_v secure_a concern_v such_o a_o one_o so_o long_o as_o a_o enemy_n perhaps_o he_o be_v but_o step_v back_o to_o take_v a_o better_a advantage_n as_o we_o find_v he_o do_v with_o christ_n he_o leave_v tempt_v of_o he_o that_o he_o may_v tempt_v he_o the_o more_o dangeroussy_a oh_o therefore_o inquire_v whether_o your_o quiet_a calm_a estate_n arise_v from_o the_o slumber_a conscience_n or_o from_o the_o treaty_n with_o it_o and_o agreement_n have_v it_o be_v hearken_v to_o and_o answer_v and_o pacify_v a_o enemy_n may_v sleep_v sometime_o in_o his_o tent_n and_o he_o make_v no_o noise_n not_o because_o he_o be_v reconcile_v but_o because_o he_o be_v asleep_a yet_o a_o sleep_a enemy_n be_v a_o enemy_n and_o thou_o may_v know_v it_o when_o he_o awake_v that_o it_o have_v be_v better_a that_o he_o have_v be_v keep_v wake_v if_o thy_o quiet_n be_v from_o the_o sleepiness_n of_o thy_o conscience_n not_o from_o the_o satisfaction_n of_o it_o thou_o shall_v find_v it_o have_v be_v better_a it_o have_v never_o slumber_v that_o it_o will_v awake_v like_o a_o giant_n and_o set_v upon_o thou_o with_o so_o much_o the_o more_o fierceness_n it_o be_v one_o thing_n to_o have_v trouble_n of_o conscience_n remove_v by_o satisfy_v the_o conscience_n and_o another_o thing_n to_o have_v they_o remove_v by_o sear_v the_o conscience_n a_o man_n be_v in_o a_o lethargy_n and_o he_o lie_v still_o and_o feel_v no_o pain_n he_o complain_v not_o but_o his_o friend_n stand_v weep_v about_o he_o because_o they_o know_v not_o whether_o he_o will_v awake_v again_o or_o not_o but_o they_o weep_v not_o over_o one_o that_o be_v in_o a_o sleep_n because_o they_o know_v that_o rest_n be_v sweet_a but_o the_o other_o dangerous_a and_o often_o deadly_a thus_o the_o case_n be_v with_o thou_o thou_o be_v now_o quiet_a and_o conscience_n smite_v thou_o not_o thou_o complain_v not_o oh_o but_o thy_o godly_a friend_n and_o relation_n mourn_v over_o thou_o they_o stand_v by_o thou_o as_o a_o die_a man_n oh_o say_v one_o i_o have_v hope_n of_o my_o husband_n or_o my_o wife_n or_o my_o child_n or_o my_o friend_n he_o or_o she_o be_v under_o some_o conviction_n for_o sin_n and_o

work_n but_o oh_o my_o hope_n be_v almost_o dead_a i_o see_v that_o conscience_n begin_v to_o be_v quiet_a and_o he_o begin_v to_o be_v careless_a and_o see_v how_o he_o be_v by_o little_a and_o little_a slide_a back_n into_o his_o former_a way_n oh_o i_o be_o afraid_a he_o will_v fall_v into_o a_o spirit_n of_o slumber_n and_o go_v to_o hell_n in_o it_o i_o have_v abundant_o more_o hope_n of_o his_o condition_n when_o he_o have_v less_o but_o these_o very_a soul_n which_o mourn_v over_o thou_o rejoice_v to_o see_v another_o soul_n quiet_a they_o be_v glad_a to_o hear_v of_o the_o comfort_n with_o which_o god_n have_v comfort_v some_o poor_a doubt_a soul_n because_o they_o see_v that_o such_o soul_n come_v by_o their_o peace_n in_o another_o way_n their_o peace_n be_v like_o

it_o god_n have_v give_v they_o peace_n by_o sprinkle_v their_o conscience_n with_o the_o blood_n of_o christ_n but_o thy_o peace_n be_v from_o the_o hardness_n and_o insensibleness_n of_o it_o thou_o

make_v he_o tremble_v he_o send_v away_o paul_n that_o he_o may_v be_v quiet_a because_o he_o do_v not_o see_v the_o good_a which_o
little_a thing_n will_v not_o trouble_v it_o now_o and_o therefore_o he_o have_v peace_n but_o i_o tell_v you_o this_o be_v a_o mistake_a peace_n which_o be_v build_v upon_o these_o thing_n for_o you_o see_v god_n people_n keep_v these_o yea_o increase_v some_o of_o they_o as_o their_o peace_n be_v establish_v but_o if_o thou_o have_v not_o lose_v these_o thou_o have_v not_o find_v peace_n and_o it_o be_v a_o miserable_a peace_n which_o be_v get_v by_o the_o loss_n of_o the_o tenderness_n of_o the_o conscience_n four_o the_o people_n of_o god_n will_v judge_v themselves_o for_o the_o

say_v time_n be_v that_o my_o conscience_n be_v awaken_v and_o i_o be_v sensible_a of_o sin_n and_o when_o i_o do_v step_v aside_o i_o be_v trouble_v and_o i_o can_v not_o be_v at_o quiet_a for_o want_v of_o the_o evidence_n of_o god_n love_n and_o of_o my_o eternal_a interest_n but_o how_o be_v it_o now_o there_o be_v a_o calm_a in_o my_o spirit_n but_o if_o my_o condition_n be_v as_o bad_a as_o it_o be_v when_o i_o be_v first_o trouble_v if_o my_o trouble_n be_v abate_v if_o my_o condition_n be_v not_o alter_v oh_o then_o my_o condition_n be_v much_o worse_o so_o much_o the_o worse_o by_o how_o much_o the_o more_o quiet_a it_o be_v but_o here_o be_v that_o stay_v the_o soul_n of_o god_n people_n and_o satisfy_v their_o spirit_n oh_o say_v such_o a_o one_o i_o find_v bless_v be_v

but_o bless_v be_v god_n he_o have_v reveal_v he_o to_o i_o for_o pardon_n i_o do_v perform_v duty_n before_o but_o i_o rest_v in_o it_o bless_a be_v god_n for_o the_o change_n i_o can_v do_v it_o now_o and_o deny_v it_o i_o be_v trouble_v before_o for_o the_o neglect_n of_o duty_n but_o i_o be_o now_o more_o grieve_v for_o the_o want_n of_o god_n presence_n in_o a_o duty_n when_o i_o be_v

work_n but_o now_o i_o look_v upon_o he_o in_o a_o covenant_n of_o grace_n when_o i_o be_v trouble_v than_o i_o look_v upon_o my_o gross_a sin_n only_o but_o now_o i_o look_v to_o my_o secret_a sin_n and_o i_o mourn_v over_o that_o which_o no_o eye_n see_v i_o be_v trouble_v because_o i_o be_v afraid_a of_o hell_n and_o i_o can_v apprehend_v no_o pardon_n for_o my_o sin_n but_o now_o i_o be_o

now_o i_o have_v another_o manner_n of_o trouble_n for_o sin_n it_o be_v as_o burden_n some_o and_o a_o bitter_a to_o i_o as_o ever_o and_o i_o hate_v it_o more_o than_o ever_o and_o now_o i_o mourn_v for_o it_o and_o melt_v away_o in_o the_o confusion_n of_o my_o face_n under_o the_o discovery_n of_o god_n free_a pardon_n of_o my_o sin_n whilst_o i_o be_v in_o trouble_n that_o keep_v i_o close_o to_o duty_n although_o it_o do_v not_o make_v i_o love_v the_o duty_n neither_o do_v it_o mortify_v my_o corruption_n but_o i_o find_v now_o that_o my_o peace_n keep_v i_o close_o to_o duty_n also_o yea_o and_o it_o make_v duty_n sweet_a to_o i_o and_o it_o do_v carry_v i_o more_o after_o holiness_n than_o my_o fear_n do_v for_o than_o i_o do_v study_v so_o much_o reformation_n as_o may_v serve_v to_o quiet_v my_o conscience_n but_o now_o i_o labour_v to_o be_v holy_a as_o god_n be_v holy_a 1_o john_n 3.3_o thus_o the_o gracious_a soul_n by_o compare_v his_o present_a peace_n with_o his_o

these_o or_o such_o as_o these_o it_o will_v judge_v itself_o for_o the_o loss_n of_o such_o trouble_n although_o thou_o do_v bless_v thyself_o for_o this_o that_o thy_o trouble_n be_v over_o and_o all_o be_v quiet_a but_o all_o this_o while_n thou_o have_v no_o experience_n of_o a_o change_n in_o thy_o soul_n five_o saint_n judge_v it_o better_a to_o be_v trouble_v for_o sin_n then_o to_o

at_o the_o neglect_v of_o duty_n because_o of_o these_o thing_n conscience_n will_v not_o let_v thou_o be_v quiet_a but_o now_o god_n have_v say_v to_o conscience_n let_v he_o alone_o he_o love_v these_o sin_n though_o he_o pretend_v to_o be_v trouble_v for_o they_o let_v he_o go_v on_o and_o enjoy_v they_o quiet_o and_o now_o thou_o be_v a_o drunkard_n again_o and_o quiet_a a_o swearer_n and_o quiet_a a_o unclean_a person_n and_o quiet_a a_o sabbth-breaker_n and_o quiet_a thou_o lie_v aside_o duty_n and_o yet_o be_v quiet_a oh_o let_v i_o tell_v thou_o if_o the_o people_n of_o god_n

and_o thereby_o to_o be_v keep_v out_o of_o the_o alehouse_n and_o thereby_o be_v keep_v to_o read_v and_o prayer_n then_o have_v thy_o peace_n which_o open_v a_o way_n to_o all_o thy_o former_a

of_o sin_n than_o now_o that_o thou_o have_v a_o peace_n which_o give_v thou_o liberty_n to_o sin_v as_o in_o former_a time_n the_o people_n of_o god_n will_v not_o have_v thy_o peace_n for_o the_o

the_o goodness_n of_o the_o conscience_n but_o thou_o be_v such_o a_o quietness_n as_o be_v a_o curse_n and_o arise_v from_o a_o judgement_n of_o god_n in_o blind_a thy_o eye_n in_o harden_v thy_o

he_o after_o his_o lust_n all_o the_o while_n and_o where_o conscience_n be_v awaken_v and_o the_o will_v not_o change_v there_o the_o devil_n may_v steal_v these_o trouble_n away_o upon_o false_a

enjoiment_n of_o its_o end_n which_o be_v the_o enjoyment_n of_o god_n therefore_o the_o main_a thing_n by_o which_o we_o shall_v judge_v of_o the_o work_n and_o so_o of_o the_o day_n of_o grace_n be_v this_o by_o labour_v to_o inform_v ourselves_o aright_o what_o difference_n there_o be_v betwixt_o these_o and_o former_a conviction_n and_o whether_o these_o be_v better_o than_o they_o or_o no_o which_o do_v die_v away_o and_o whether_o there_o be_v more_o of_o the_o will_n and_o affection_n in_o these_o than_o in_o those_o we_o former_o have_v for_o every_o work_n be_v so_o much_o the_o better_a as_o it_o have_v more_o of_o will_n in_o it_o which_o be_v indeed_o the_o seat_n of_o grace_n q._n how_o shall_v i_o know_v whether_o my_o stir_n be_v of_o my_o conscience_n or_o my_o will_n a._n i_o may_v give_v you_o many_o thing_n but_o i_o touch_v it_o now_o but_o occasionallie_o therefore_o i_o shall_v confine_v myself_o to_o these_o three_o short_a direction_n observe_v thy_o 1_o trouble_n 2_o ●_z 3_o endeavour_n first_o observe_v thy_o trouble_n whether_o they_o be_v most_o for_o the_o sense_n of_o sin_n or_o the_o apprehension_n of_o wrath_n if_o conscience_n be_v only_o awaken_v that_o eye_n only_o the_o wrath_n to_o come_v and_o think_v of_o nothing_o else_o but_o of_o escape_v and_o it_o take_v not_o sin_n into_o consideration_n but_o as_o it_o be_v force_v by_o the_o necessary_a connexion_n betwixt_o that_o and_o judgement_n but_o if_o the_o will_n and_o affection_n be_v wrought_v over_o in_o this_o trouble_n than_o the_o great_a trouble_n be_v because_o of_o the_o evil_a of_o sin_n as_o it_o dishonour_v god_n and_o as_o it_o hinder_v the_o soul_n from_o communion_n with_o god_n and_o the_o soul_n be_v trouble_v at_o the_o presence_n of_o that_o and_o study_n how_o it_o may_v be_v rid_v of_o that_o sin_n be_v a_o heavy_a burden_n to_o a_o sanctify_a will_n but_o wrath_n be_v the_o only_a burden_n to_o a_o entangle_a but_o not_o renew_v conscience_n 2_o observe_v thy_o desire_n what_o do_v they_o run_v out_o most_o after_o christ_n or_o comfort_n peace_n or_o purity_n if_o the_o trouble_n be_v only_o a_o force_a trouble_n from_o conscience_n than_o the_o soul_n do_v ordinary_o look_v no_o far_o than_o the_o present_a trouble_n and_o how_o to_o be_v rid_v of_o that_o it_o be_v peace_n that_o conscience_n look_v after_o but_o if_o the_o will_v be_v move_v that_o must_v have_v something_o else_o beside_o peace_n it_o be_v not_o a_o calm_a wilserve_v the_o turn_n it_o must_v have_v christ_n and_o communion_n with_o he_o or_o nothing_o will_v satisfy_v 3_o look_v to_o thy_o endeavour_n when_o be_v they_o strong_a and_o most_o vigorous_a and_o draw_v out_o most_o after_o heaven_n and_o heavenly_a thing_n in_o thy_o trouble_n or_o in_o thy_o calm_n i_o have_v observe_v some_o that_o when_o they_o have_v be_v under_o trouble_n and_o terror_n of_o conscience_n they_o will_v then_o be_v very_o stir_v and_o seem_v to_o take_v much_o pain_n for_o heaven_n but_o when_o conscience_n be_v a_o little_a quiet_v they_o lay_v aside_o their_o religion_n and_o there_o be_v no_o more_o noise_n of_o it_o this_o be_v a_o sign_n that_o their_o stir_n be_v bare_o from_o conscience_n but_o other_o soul_n who_o will_n be_v wrought_v upon_o as_o well_o as_o their_o conscience_n have_v be_v more_o active_a and_o stir_v in_o the_o way_n of_o god_n as_o they_o have_v get_v more_o peace_n and_o assurance_n of_o god_n love_n and_o there_o be_v a_o clear_a reason_n for_o such_o different_a effect_n from_o their_o quiet_n because_o quiet_a and_o peace_n be_v the_o thing_n which_o the_o inflame_a conscience_n seek_v for_o but_o the_o sanctify_a will_n and_o affection_n seek_v for_o another_o thing_n and_o although_o a_o little_a peace_n may_v satisfy_v conscience_n and_o take_v off_o the_o edge_n of_o it_o this_o will_v set_v a_o edge_n upon_o the_o affection_n that_o which_o calm_v conscience_n quicken_v the_o sanctify_a will_n for_o every_o relish_n that_o it_o have_v of_o grace_n or_o peace_n make_v it_o seek_v for_o more_o try_v yourselves_o by_o these_o thing_n and_o if_o you_o find_v that_o your_o conviction_n be_v accompany_v with_o the_o stir_n of_o the_o will_n and_o affection_n be_v of_o good_a hope_n for_o thy_o day_n of_o grace_n be_v not_o over_o if_o thou_o have_v a_o will_n for_o god_n if_o he_o strive_v and_o you_o grow_v more_o tender_a and_o sensible_a fear_v not_o to_o follow_v thy_o conviction_n and_o to_o lay_v hold_n of_o the_o promise_n which_o suit_n with_o thy_o condition_n let_v former_a conviction_n neglect_v humble_v thou_o but_o let_v they_o not_o discourage_v thou_o but_o withal_o take_v this_o word_n of_o advice_n and_o so_o i_o shall_v conclude_v 1_o take_v heed_n of_o thy_o heart_n lest_o it_o deceive_v thou_o thou_o have_v have_v such_o stir_n which_o do_v look_v like_o a_o work_n of_o grace_n before_o but_o they_o have_v die_v away_o be_v jealous_a of_o these_o lest_o they_o shall_v do_v so_o also_o thou_o know_v how_o subject_a the_o heart_n be_v to_o grow_v cold_a and_o to_o shift_v and_o put_v off_o conviction_n and_o when_o it_o be_v under_o they_o how_o seem_o willing_a it_o be_v to_o convert_v and_o return_v to_o god_n how_o ready_a to_o make_v promise_n and_o vow_n to_o god_n and_o how_o ready_a to_o forsake_v all_o these_o again_o it_o have_v cheat_v thou_o once_o already_o therefore_o watch_v it_o as_o a_o deceitful_a thing_n the_o way_n not_o to_o be_v deceive_v be_v to_o expect_v it_o or_o at_o least_o fear_v it_o 2_o resolve_v to_o take_v the_o more_o pain_n because_o thou_o have_v lose_v so_o many_o precious_a opportunity_n know_v that_o if_o thou_o be_v not_o near_o to_o happiness_n and_o eternal_a life_n then_o other_o man_n thou_o be_v far_o off_o and_o thou_o have_v need_v labour_n to_o redeem_v what_o thou_o have_v lose_v 3_o believe_v not_o satan_n who_o say_v thy_o day_n be_v over_o for_o he_o know_v it_o not_o and_o he_o be_v a_o liar_n from_o the_o beginning_n there_o be_v abundant_o more_o hope_n of_o thou_o who_o lie_v under_o such_o fear_n than_o there_o be_v of_o one_o who_o lie_v and_o life_n in_o sin_n
