and_o crush_v in_o piece_n with_o the_o unsupportable_a weight_n of_o god_n vengeance_n hereafter_o three_o use_v 3_o since_o this_o inward_a touch_n for_o sin_n be_v a_o thing_n so_o necessary_a let_v we_o hence_o learn_v to_o labour_v for_o it_o and_o to_o keep_v tenderness_n of_o heart_n when_o we_o bave_v obtain_v it_o for_o that_o sorrow_n which_o break_v the_o heart_n do_v withal_o break_v the_o neck_n of_o sin_n and_o therefore_o when_o the_o lord_n do_v check_v &_o control_v our_o conscience_n let_v we_o esteem_v it_o as_o a_o great_a mercy_n and_o not_o let_v such_o stroke_n pass_v without_o their_o right_a use_n but_o let_v we_o go_v to_o god_n and_o to_o his_o child_n for_o help_n and_o direction_n and_o then_o that_o little_a spark_n of_o the_o fire_n of_o god_n in_o our_o soul_n be_v feed_v &_o nourish_v will_v grow_v in_o the_o end_n to_o a_o great_a flame_n now_o that_o our_o heart_n may_v be_v keep_v always_o tender_a &_o sensible_a of_o those_o check_n which_o god_n spirit_n give_v we_o let_v we_o use_v these_o mean_n that_o follow_v first_o let_v we_o in_o our_o heart_n the_o weapon_n of_o god_n heart_n mean_v to_o get_v tenderness_n of_o heart_n even_o the_o sword_n of_o the_o spirit_n whereby_o our_o heart_n may_v be_v wound_v as_o often_o as_o need_n require_v for_o unregenerate_a person_n want_v that_o weapon_n will_v rather_o defend_v then_o smite_v themselves_o when_o they_o have_v offend_v and_o every_o child_n of_o god_n have_v somewhat_o of_o old_a adam_n in_o he_o in_o which_o regard_n he_o must_v be_v more_o careful_a to_o

which_o will_v convince_v the_o conscience_n when_o it_o be_v guilty_a so_o that_o it_o shall_v have_v nothing_o to_o say_v in_o defence_n of_o itself_o but_o very_o much_o for_o the_o condemnation_n of_o itself_o as_o be_v evident_a ezec._n 36._o ezeck_n 36._o 36.27_o whereby_o we_o may_v observe_v that_o when_o god_n have_v give_v his_o spirit_n unto_o his_o elect_a and_o as_o it_o be_v in_o jeremy_n 31._o jer._n 31._o 31_o 33._o withal_o write_v his_o law_n in_o their_o heart_n than_o they_o shall_v remember_v their_o own_o wicked_a way_n and_o their_o deed_n that_o be_v not_o good_a and_o shall_v judge_v themselves_o worthy_a to_o have_v be_v destroy_v for_o their_o iniquity_n &_o for_o their_o abomination_n what_o be_v the_o reason_n they_o shall_v pass_v such_o a_o heavy_a sentence_n upon_o themselves_o one_o will_v think_v they_o shall_v rather_o rejoice_v now_o &_o allow_v of_o themselves_o and_o of_o their_o work_n so_o they_o do_v rejoice_v at_o and_o approve_v of_o themselves_o and_o their_o work_n so_o far_o as_o they_o be_v spiritual_a but_o they_o proclaim_v war_n against_o themselves_o and_o their_o work_n so_o far_o as_o either_o they_o be_v or_o have_v be_v carnal_a and_o sinful_a and_o that_o because_o the_o word_n of_o god_n and_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n do_v bear_v sway_n in_o their_o heart_n they_o be_v at_o utter_a defiance_n with_o their_o

great_a measure_n of_o humility_n and_o of_o sincerity_n he_o that_o be_v most_o lowly_a be_v ever_o most_o vex_v with_o his_o pride_n and_o he_o that_o be_v most_o upright_o and_o true_a heart_a be_v most_o of_o all_o trouble_a with_o the_o guilefulnes_n and_o deceitfulnes_n of_o his_o own_o heart_n because_o the_o word_n and_o the_o spirit_n work_v together_o do_v cause_n he_o both_o more_o

content_v ourselves_o when_o once_o we_o have_v get_v the_o word_n and_o spirit_n of_o god_n within_o we_o but_o we_o must_v still_o strive_v to_o keep_v our_o heart_n humble_a and_o lowly_a for_o otherwise_o we_o shall_v not_o feel_v the_o stroke_n of_o the_o word_n and_o spirit_n of_o god_n therefore_o it_o be_v say_v isay_n 30.20.21_o 30._o isa_n 30._o that_o when_o the_o lord_n have_v diet_v his_o people_n a_o while_n give_v they_o the_o bread_n of_o adversity_n and_o the_o water_n of_o affliction_n and_o thereby_o take_v down_o the_o pride_n and_o stubbornness_n of_o their_o heart_n that_o then_o their_o ear_n shall_v hear_v a_o word_n behind_o they_o say_v this_o be_v the_o way_n walk_v in_o it_o etc._n etc._n that_o be_v when_o they_o be_v thus_o humble_v as_o soon_o as_o ever_o they_o have_v commit_v any_o offence_n they_o shall_v present_o have_v a_o blow_n upon_o their_o heart_n for_o it_o and_o be_v full_a of_o fear_n and_o anguish_n though_o no_o man_n in_o the_o world_n tell_v they_o of_o it_o yet_o the_o word_n in_o their_o heart_n will_v be_v like_o a_o good_a guide_n that_o be_v still_o follow_v a_o little_a child_n and_o tell_v he_o this_o be_v not_o the_o right_a way_n leave_v it_o there_o be_v the_o right_a way_n walk_v in_o it_o but_o many_o have_v heart_n pester_v with_o pride_n and_o lust_n and_o covetousness_n and_o yet_o go_v a_o whole_a month_n nay_o many_o month_n and_o year_n together_o and_o never_o feel_v any_o rebuke_n in_o their_o conscience_n how_o come_v this_o to_o pass_v that_o other_o be_v full_a of_o grief_n and_o full_a of_o tear_n for_o their_o sin_n and_o they_o be_v never_o trouble_v for_o they_o be_v it_o because_o there_o be_v great_a uprightness_n in_o they_o than_o there_o be_v in_o other_o no_o sure_o it_o be_v because_o they_o have_v a_o more_o blind_a mind_n and_o a_o more_o proud_a and_o senseless_a hart_n than_o other_o have_v for_o the_o more_o humble_a any_o one_o be_v the_o more_o often_o shall_v he_o hear_v the_o voice_n of_o the_o spirit_n check_v he_o when_o he_o go_v out_o of_o the_o way_n &_o move_v he_o to_o turn_v again_o into_o the_o right_a way_n three_o we_o must_v especial_o beware_v of_o presumptuous_a sin_n for_o if_o we_o live_v therein_o our_o heart_n will_v cease_v to_o smite_v we_o or_o at_o least_o we_o shall_v be_v senseless_a of_o these_o stroke_n as_o may_v be_v see_v in_o the_o case_n of_o david_n when_o he_o have_v cut_v off_o the_o lap_n of_o saul_n garment_n and_o number_v the_o people_n which_o be_v but_o infirmity_n forthwith_o his_o conscience_n rebuke_v he_o and_o he_o be_v humble_v before_o the_o lord_n but_o when_o he_o have_v commit_v adultery_n and_o murder_n either_o the_o check_n of_o his_o conscience_n be_v none_o at_o all_o or_o else_o they_o be_v so_o weak_a 12._o 2._o sam._n 12._o that_o he_o have_v no_o sense_n nor_o feeling_n thereof_o so_o that_o nathan_n be_v drive_v to_o fetch_v about_o as_o it_o be_v and_o to_o use_v all_o the_o art_n that_o may_v be_v to_o make_v he_o see_v his_o offence_n and_o pass_v sentence_n against_o himself_o for_o the_o same_o let_v we_o therefore_o by_o his_o example_n learn_v to_o beware_v how_o we_o presumptuous_o sin_n against_o our_o conscience_n especial_o in_o palpable_a and_o gross_a offence_n lest_o our_o mind_n be_v by_o degree_n blind_v and_o our_o affection_n by_o little_a and_o little_o corrupt_v we_o become_v in_o the_o end_n very_a block_n and_o stone_n and_o have_v our_o conscience_n so_o darken_v that_o they_o will_v not_o accuse_v we_o or_o our_o heart_n so_o benumb_v that_o they_o will_v not_o be_v move_v with_o the_o stroke_n of_o god_n and_o with_o the_o check_n of_o his_o holy_a spirit_n after_o that_o he_o have_v number_v the_o people_n here_o be_v his_o special_a sin_n that_o he_o number_v his_o subject_n which_o may_v seem_v to_o be_v no_o such_o great_a matter_n for_o which_o god_n shall_v so_o plague_v the_o land_n and_o if_o there_o have_v be_v that_o measure_n of_o hypocrisy_n in_o david_n as_o there_o be_v in_o many_o of_o we_o he_o will_v have_v plead_v thus_o for_o himself_o what_o need_v i_o to_o be_v so_o trouble_v for_o
