every_o cranny_n and_o bring_v light_a heat_n and_o influence_n into_o every_o part_n of_o the_o soul_n and_o therefore_o christ_n say_v let_v not_o your_o heart_n be_v trouble_v now_o for_o the_o way_n whereby_o we_o must_v labour_v to_o comfort_v our_o heart_n among_o many_o that_o i_o may_v speak_v of_o i_o will_v name_v a_o few_o first_o of_o all_o there_o must_v be_v a_o due_a search_n into_o the_o heart_n of_o the_o ground_n of_o our_o trouble_n for_o oftentimes_o christian_n be_v trouble_v they_o can_v tell_v wherefore_o as_o child_n that_o will_v complain_v they_o know_v not_o why_o i_o speak_v not_o of_o hypocrite_n that_o will_v complain_v of_o that_o which_o be_v not_o a_o true_a grief_n to_o they_o like_o some_o bird_n that_o make_v great_a noise_n when_o they_o be_v further_a from_o their_o nest_n but_o of_o some_o poor_a christian_n that_o be_v trouble_v but_o distinct_o know_v not_o the_o ground_n of_o it_o but_o search_v the_o heart_n ingenuous_o and_o true_o to_o the_o bottom_n of_o it_o and_o see_v if_o there_o be_v not_o some_o achan_n in_o the_o camp_n some_o sin_n in_o the_o heart_n for_o sin_n be_v like_a wind_n when_o it_o get_v into_o the_o vein_n it_o will_v have_v vent_n and_o a_o troublesome_a one_o and_o so_o will_v sin_v if_o it_o get_v into_o the_o soul_n it_o be_v that_o indeed_o which_o cause_v all_o trouble_n and_o therefore_o search_v your_o heart_n thorough_o what_o sin_n lie_v there_o unrepented_a of_o and_o for_o which_o you_o have_v not_o be_v humble_v and_o when_o you_o have_v find_v out_o your_o sin_n give_v it_o vent_v by_o confession_n of_o it_o to_o god_n and_o in_o some_o case_n to_o other_o and_o when_o we_o have_v do_v so_o consider_v what_o promise_n and_o comfort_n in_o the_o word_n of_o god_n be_v fit_v to_o that_o condition_n for_o we_o can_v be_v in_o no_o condition_n but_o there_o be_v comfort_n for_o it_o and_o promise_v fit_v to_o yield_v comfort_n for_o every_o malady_n and_o it_o will_v be_v the_o wisdom_n of_o a_o christian_n to_o accommodate_v the_o remedy_n to_o the_o sore_a of_o his_o heart_n and_o therefore_o we_o ought_v to_o be_v skilful_a and_o well_o see_v in_o the_o word_n of_o god_n that_o we_o may_v sore_o up_o comfort_n beforehand_o our_o saviour_n christ_n tell_v they_o beforehand_o of_o the_o scandal_n of_o the_o cross_n and_o of_o peter_n denial_n that_o they_o may_v lay_v up_o strength_n and_o spiritual_a armour_n against_o the_o day_n of_o trial_n those_o comfort_n do_v not_o for_o the_o most_o part_n hold_v out_o in_o the_o day_n of_o adversity_n quaesita_fw-la which_o be_v not_o procure_v in_o the_o day_n of_o prosperity_n it_o be_v not_o wisdom_n to_o be_v to_o learn_v religion_n when_o we_o shall_v use_v it_o and_o therefore_o let_v we_o be_v spiritual_a good_a husband_n for_o our_o soul_n by_o store_v up_o comfort_n out_o of_o the_o word_n of_o god_n and_o then_o we_o shall_v have_v no_o more_o to_o do_v then_o to_o remember_v the_o comfort_n that_o we_o do_v beforehand_o know_v and_o there_o be_v some_o promise_n of_o more_o general_a use_n that_o be_v catholica_fw-la fit_v for_o all_o sort_n of_o grievance_n and_o of_o these_o we_o must_v make_v use_n when_o we_o can_v think_v of_o particular_a one_o as_o the_o promise_n that_o concern_v forgiveness_n of_o sin_n think_v of_o god_n mercy_n in_o pardon_v sin_n with_o admiration_n because_o sin_n will_v be_v present_v we_o in_o such_o terrible_a colour_n that_o if_o god_n be_v not_o present_v in_o as_o gracious_a colour_n we_o shall_v sink_v and_o therefore_o set_v out_o christ_n in_o his_o mercy_n and_o all_o sufficiency_n when_o sin_n be_v aggravate_v to_o be_v in_o its_o heinousness_n and_o out_o of_o measure_n sinfulness_n as_o the_o prophet_n michah_n do_v who_o be_v a_o god_n like_o our_o god_n that_o pardon_v iniquity_n transgression_n and_o sin_n etc._n etc._n likewise_o how_o many_o promise_n and_o comfort_n be_v there_o in_o that_o one_o promise_n luk._n 11._o he_o will_v give_v his_o spirit_n to_o they_o that_o ask_v he_o and_o here_o our_o saviour_n promise_v to_o send_v the_o comforter_n all_o grace_n and_o all_o comfort_n be_v include_v in_o the_o spirit_n of_o grace_n and_o comfort_n his_o spirit_n be_v a_o spirit_n of_o all_o grace_n and_o therefore_o our_o saviour_n think_v that_o the_o promise_v enough_o when_o be_n say_v he_o will_v send_v they_o the_o comforter_n and_o so_o what_o a_o world_n of_o comfort_n be_v in_o that_o promise_n all_o thing_n shall_v work_v together_o for_o the_o best_a to_o they_o that_o love_n god_n yea_o those_o thing_n that_o be_v worst_a shall_v work_v together_o though_o they_o be_v hostile_a and_o opposite_a one_o to_o another_o yet_o they_o join_v issue_n in_o this_o they_o be_v all_o for_o the_o good_a of_o god_n people_n as_o in_o a_o clock_n the_o wheel_n go_v several_a way_n but_o all_o join_v to_o make_v the_o clock_n strike_v and_o so_o in_o the_o carriage_n and_o order_v of_o thing_n one_o passage_n cross_v another_o but_o in_o the_o issue_n we_o shall_v be_v able_a to_o say_v all_o thing_n work_v together_o for_o the_o best_a i_o find_v god_n turn_v all_o thing_n for_o my_o

make_v to_o josuab_n which_o be_v repeat_v in_o the_o 13_o of_o the_o hebrew_n i_o will_v not_o fail_v thou_o nor_o for_o sake_n thou_o a_o promise_n which_o be_v five_o time_n renew_v in_o scripture_n and_o how_o much_o comfort_n be_v in_o that_o that_o he_o will_v vouchsafe_v by_o his_o spirit_n a_o gracious_a presence_n in_o all_o condition_n whatsoever_o and_o likewise_o that_o of_o david_n psalm_n 23._o though_o i_o walk_v in_o the_o valley_n of_o the_o shadow_n of_o death_n yet_o will_v i_o fear_v no_o ill_a for_o thou_o be_v with_o i_o it_o be_v a_o terrible_a supposition_n make_v that_o though_o he_o shall_v walk_v in_o the_o valley_n of_o the_o shadow_n of_o death_n yet_o he_o will_v fear_v no_o evil_a these_o promise_n well_o digest_v will_v arm_v the_o soul_n with_o confidence_n that_o it_o shall_v be_v able_a to_o put_v any_o case_n of_o trouble_n as_o in_o the_o 27._o psalm_n david_n put_v case_n the_o lord_n be_v my_o strength_n the_o lord_n be_v the_o light_n of_o my_o countenance_n of_o who_o shall_v i_o be_v afraid_a though_o thousand_o shall_v rise_v against_o i_o yet_o in_o this_o i_o will_v be_v confident_a if_o our_o heart_n be_v establish_v by_o the_o word_n of_o god_n settle_v in_o the_o truth_n of_o such_o promise_n by_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n we_o may_v set_v god_n and_o his_o truth_n against_o all_o trouble_n that_o can_v arise_v from_o satan_n and_o hell_n and_o the_o instrument_n of_o satan_n or_o our_o own_o heart_n and_o therefore_o it_o be_v a_o great_a wrong_n to_o god_n and_o his_o truth_n if_o we_o know_v not_o our_o portion_n of_o comfort_n and_o use_v it_o as_o occasion_n serve_v more_o particular_n i_o omit_v leave_v they_o to_o your_o own_o industry_n the_o scripture_n be_v full_a of_o they_o when_o we_o have_v these_o promise_n let_v we_o labour_n to_o understand_v they_o thorough_o to_o understand_v the_o ground_n of_o our_o comfort_n in_o they_o and_o to_o believe_v the_o truth_n of_o they_o which_o be_v as_o true_a as_o god_n who_o be_v truth_n itself_o and_o then_o to_o love_v they_o and_o digest_v they_o in_o our_o affection_n and_o so_o make_v they_o our_o own_o and_o then_o to_o walk_v in_o the_o strength_n and_o comfort_n of_o they_o labour_v likewise_o to_o have_v they_o fresh_a in_o memory_n it_o be_v a_o great_a defect_n of_o christian_n they_o forget_v their_o consolation_n as_o it_o be_v in_o the_o hebrew_n 5._o though_o we_o know_v many_o thing_n yet_o we_o have_v the_o benefit_n of_o our_o comfort_n from_o no_o more_o than_o we_o remember_v but_o above_o all_o if_o we_o will_v keep_v our_o heart_n from_o trouble_n let_v we_o labour_n to_o keep_v unspotre_v conscience_n innocence_n and_o diligence_n be_v marvellous_a preserver_n of_o comfort_n and_o therefore_o if_o the_o conscience_n be_v sport_v and_o unclean_a wash_v it_o in_o the_o blood_n of_o christ_n which_o be_v first_o purge_v and_o then_o purify_n it_o first_o purge_v the_o soul_n be_v set_v a-work_o to_o search_v our_o sin_n and_o confess_v they_o which_o make_v we_o see_v our_o need_n of_o christ_n who_o die_v to_o satisfy_v divine_a justice_n then_o god_n sprinkle_v our_o heart_n with_o this_o blood_n which_o be_v shed_v for_o all_o penitent_a sinner_n by_o which_o when_o the_o heart_n be_v purge_v the_o conscience_n will_v be_v soon_o satisfy_v also_o by_o christ_n blood_n and_o

when_o it_o be_v purge_v and_o pacify_v then_o keep_v it_o clean_o for_o a_o foul_a soul_n be_v always_o a_o trouble_a soul_n and_o though_o it_o may_v be_v quiet_a yet_o it_o be_v sure_a to_o break_v out_o afterward_o and_o because_o there_o can_v be_v no_o more_o comfort_n than_o there_o be_v care_n of_o duty_n therefore_o together_o with_o innocence_n let_v we_o be_v careful_a of_o all_o duty_n in_o all_o our_o several_a relation_n let_v we_o consider_v in_o what_o relation_n we_o stand_v and_o what_o duty_n we_o owe_v and_o be_v careful_a to_o satisfy_v they_o all_o neglect_v of_o duty_n be_v a_o debt_n and_o debt_n be_v troublesome_a when_o the_o soul_n reflect_v upon_o the_o omission_n of_o a_o necessary_a duty_n i_o owe_v such_o a_o duty_n to_o such_o a_o person_n i_o shall_v have_v do_v such_o a_o thing_n in_o such_o a_o relation_n but_o i_o have_v omit_v it_o it_o be_v a_o disquietment_n and_o that_o upon_o good_a ground_n and_o if_o you_o have_v be_v negligent_a there_o must_v be_v a_o actual_a renew_n of_o the_o covenant_n and_o a_o set_n upon_o the_o duty_n with_o fresh_a endeavour_n to_o make_v amends_o for_o former_a negligence_n or_o else_o the_o soul_n shall_v have_v no_o comfort_n nor_o will_v god_n suffer_v it_o to_o admit_v of_o comfort_n and_o therefore_o work_v out_o your_o salvation_n with_o fear_n and_o tremble_v the_o reason_n that_o man_n do_v still_o tremble_v and_o be_v trouble_v with_o this_o doubt_n and_o that_o fear_v be_v because_o their_o salvation_n be_v not_o wrought_v out_o something_o be_v leave_v undo_v and_o their_o conscience_n tell_v they_o so_o but_o above_o all_o that_o we_o may_v receive_v comfort_n let_v we_o labour_v for_o a_o spirit_n of_o faith_n therefore_o here_o it_o be_v say_v you_o believe_v in_o god_n believe_v also_o in_o i_o christ_n bring_v they_o to_o faith_n for_o comfort_n and_o he_o set_v down_o a_o a_o double_a object_n of_o faith_n god_n that_o be_v the_o father_n son_n and_o holy_a ghost_n and_o christ_n consider_v as_o mediator_n and_o christ_n bring_v they_o to_o himself_o believe_v also_o in_o i_o because_o he_o will_v fence_v they_o against_o the_o future_a scandal_n of_o his_o suffering_n as_o if_o he_o shall_v say_v you_o will_v hereafter_o when_o you_o see_v i_o so_o handle_v and_o upon_o the_o cross_n doubt_v and_o call_v in_o question_n whether_o i_o be_o god_n and_o the_o messiah_n of_o the_o world_n or_o no._n but_o if_o you_o believe_v in_o god_n believe_v in_o i_o for_o howsoever_o in_o love_n to_o you_o and_o mankind_n i_o take_v man_n nature_n on_o i_o and_o be_o abase_v yet_o in_o my_o great_a abasement_n remember_v this_o that_o i_o be_o god_n and_o sure_o there_o be_v nothing_o can_v stay_v the_o soul_n more_o especial_o when_o it_o be_v deep_o humble_v then_o to_o consider_v god_n in_o the_o second_o person_n incarnate_a and_o abase_v and_o crucify_v and_o make_v a_o curse_n and_o sin_n for_o we_o to_o see_v the_o great_a god_n of_o heaven_n and_o earth_n who_o excellency_n we_o can_v comprehend_v to_o take_v our_o nature_n and_o in_o our_o nature_n to_o suffer_v for_o we_o those_o thing_n which_o he_o do_v endure_v this_o will_v establish_v the_o soul_n indeed_o can_v the_o the_o soul_n think_v that_o this_o be_v do_v for_o any_o small_a or_o to_o little_a purpose_n or_o can_v there_o be_v any_o grief_n or_o sin_n that_o shall_v hinder_v comfort_n or_o persuasion_n of_o the_o possibility_n of_o pardon_n when_o the_o great_a god_n become_v man_n on_o purpose_n to_o die_v for_o sin_n we_o may_v set_v this_o against_o all_o discouragement_n whatsoever_o and_o therefore_o believe_v in_o god_n believe_v also_o in_o i_o howsoever_o you_o see_v i_o abase_v yet_o you_o may_v have_v comfort_n in_o my_o abasement_n for_o it_o be_v for_o you_o and_o therefore_o say_v paul_n irejoyce_v to_o know_v nothing_o but_o jesus_n christ_n and_o he_o crucify_v that_o which_o proud_a and_o atheistical_a heathen_n take_v scandal_n at_o that_o he_o rejoice_v in_o god_n forbid_v that_o i_o shall_v glory_v in_o anything_o but_o in_o the_o cross_n of_o christ_n peace_n of_o conscience_n joy_n in_o the_o holy_a ghost_n reconciliation_n and_o title_n to_o happiness_n be_v all_o found_v upon_o christ_n crucify_v and_o then_o again_o you_o see_v he_o join_v both_o together_o you_o believe_v in_o god_n believe_v also_o in_o i_o to_o show_v the_o distinction_n of_o person_n in_o the_o trinity_n god_n the_o father_n son_n and_o holy_a ghost_n all_o our_o faith_n be_v resolve_v at_o length_n into_o one_o god_n but_o yet_o withal_o into_o three_o person_n in_o that_o divine_a nature_n because_o as_o there_o be_v god_n the_o father_n offend_v so_o there_o must_v be_v a_o god_n to_o satisfy_v that_o god_n and_o there_o must_v be_v a_o god_n to_o reveal_v and_o apply_v that_o satisfaction_n the_o soul_n be_v so_o full_a of_o doubt_n that_o nothing_o can_v set_v it_o down_o but_o that_o which_o be_v above_o the_o soul_n and_o above_o the_o devil_n and_o therefore_o for_o our_o salvation_n and_o to_o give_v we_o comfort_n there_o be_v a_o necessity_n of_o three_o person_n in_o the_o godhead_n the_o father_n be_v offend_v god_n in_o the_o second_o person_n must_v satisfy_v offend_v justice_n and_o god_n in_o the_o three_o person_n must_v reveal_v and_o apply_v the_o son_n for_o comfort_n and_o therefore_o he_o name_v they_o distinct_o you_o believe_v in_o god_n etc._n etc._n and_o because_o we_o can_v believe_v in_o god_n the_o father_n but_o by_o believe_v in_o christ_n therefore_o he_o
