it_o be_v a_o needless_a thing_n to_o beg_v of_o christ_n for_o his_o daughter_n when_o she_o be_v dead_a but_o say_v christ_n do_v not_o stoop_v to_o sense_n and_o reason_n fear_v not_o only_o

in_o full_a assurance_n of_o faith_n have_v your_o heart_n sprinkle_v from_o a_o evil_a conscience_n here_o be_v the_o way_n if_o you_o be_v sprinkle_v from_o a_o evil_a conscience_n you_o may_v be_v

with_o the_o same_o comfort_n wherewith_o they_o themselves_o be_v comfort_v if_o we_o be_v comfort_v it_o be_v for_o your_o consolation_n godly_a man_n if_o they_o have_v any_o inward_a comfort_n from_o god_n they_o will_v impart_v their_o experience_n to_o you_o and_o tell_v you_o as_o david_n do_v psal_n 66.16_o what_o god_n have_v do_v for_o their_o soul_n there_o be_v no_o way_n better_o

in_o prison_n by_o his_o frequent_a communion_n with_o this_o poor_a man_n he_o get_v more_o inward_a comfort_n then_o ever_o he_o get_v all_o his_o life_n before_o belove_a this_o i_o speak_v to_o you_o to_o make_v you_o the_o mor●_n to_o study_v the_o the_o worth_n of_o godly_a society_n and_o the_o more_o you_o be_v conversant_a with_o christian_n that_o live_v in_o the_o enjoyment_n of_o

than_o thou_o can_v not_o tell_v thyself_o what_o thou_o do_v but_o other_o must_v tell_v thou_o so_o it_o may_v fall_v out_o with_o the_o godly_a they_o may_v be_v in_o such_o a_o spiritual_a swoon_n that_o they_o be_v not_o fit_a judge_n of_o their_o own_o condition_n in_o this_o case_n submit_v to_o the_o judgement_n of_o other_o they_o may_v see_v grace_n in_o thou_o when_o thou_o thyself_o

that_o be_v the_o way_n to_o get_v assurance_n and_o this_o mean_v the_o holy_a ghost_n lay_v down_o in_o the_o chapter_n out_o of_o which_o my_o text_n be_v take_v add_v grace_n to_o grace_n and_o i_o remember_v that_o beza_n upon_o this_o text_n do_v write_v that_o in_o the_o greek_a translation_n these_o word_n be_v put_v in_o give_v diligence_n by_o good_a work_n to_o make_v your_o call_n sure_o whether_o it_o be_v so_o or_o no_o i_o can_v affirm_v but_o this_o i_o be_o sure_a of_o and_o the_o context_n will_v clear_o prove_v it_o that_o the_o way_n to_o make_v your_o call_n sure_a be_v to_o add_v grace_n to_o grace_n for_o after_o the_o apostle_n have_v speak_v of_o add_v grace_n to_o grace_n he_o come_v in_o with_o this_o give_v diligence_n to_o make_v your_o call_n sure_o imply_v that_o the_o more_o you_o live_v in_o the_o act_n of_o grace_n the_o more_o you_o shall_v live_v in_o the_o enjoyment_n of_o comfort_n isa_n 32.17_o the_o work_n of_o righteousness_n shall_v

it_o quietness_n and_o assurance_n for_o ever_o so_o john_n 16.24_o the_o more_o you_o pray_v the_o more_o you_o increase_v your_o joy_n so_o that_o the_o more_o you_o live_v in_o the_o improvement_n of_o grace_n the_o more_o likely_a way_n you_o be_v in_o to_o get_v assurance_n six_o if_o you_o will_v get_v assurance_n spend_v more_o time_n in_o strengthen_v your_o evidence_n for_o heaven_n then_o in_o question_v of_o they_o it_o be_v the_o great_a fault_n of_o many_o christian_n they_o will_v spend_v much_o time_n in_o question_v and_o not_o in_o strengthen_v their_o comfort_n they_o will_v reason_v themselves_o into_o unbelief_n and_o say_v lord_n why_o shall_v i_o believe_v why_o shall_v i_o take_v hold_v of_o a_o promise_n that_o be_o so_o unholy_a and_o so_o unmortified_a a_o

42._o why_o be_v thou_o trouble_v o_o my_o soul_n and_o why_o be_v thou_o cast_v down_o within_o i_o be_v not_o the_o mercy_n of_o god_n more_o than_o sin_n in_o the_o creature_n be_v not_o there_o

but_o the_o execution_n of_o that_o decree_n may_v be_v pass_v upon_o he_o that_o he_o may_v be_v effectual_o call_v and_o yet_o he_o may_v not_o have_v all_o these_o six_o effect_n in_o a_o great_a

three_o quere_z i_o come_v now_o to_o enter_v upon_o another_o depend_v upon_o the_o former_a which_o indeed_o be_v a_o very_a dreadful_a subject_n and_o a_o point_n to_o be_v tremble_v at_o while_o

upon_o earth_n and_o therefore_o i_o will_v entreat_v you_o to_o look_v about_o you_o god_n decree_n they_o be_v in_o heaven_n and_o it_o be_v only_o a_o real_a work_n of_o grace_n upon_o your_o

young_a man_n more_o especial_o and_o i_o remember_v austin_n say_v that_o this_o temptation_n of_o the_o devil_n make_v he_o keep_v off_o for_o seven_o year_n together_o from_o embrace_v the_o call_v of_o jesus_n christ_n the_o devil_n will_v still_o tell_v he_o in_o his_o heart_n thou_o be_v too_o young_a to_o leave_v thy_o drunkenness_n and_o too_o young_a to_o leave_v thy_o harlot_n till_o at_o last_o he_o cry_v out_o how_o long_o shall_v i_o say_v it_o be_v too_o soon_o why_o may_v i_o not_o repent_v to_o day_n this_o temptation_n i_o say_v it_o have_v fasten_v upon_o many_o before_o you_o that_o they_o be_v too_o young_a to_o come_v in_o to_o jesus_n christ_n and_o to_o this_o end_n the_o devil_n will_v suggest_v to_o you_o that_o old_a and_o false_a proverb_n a_o young_a saint_n and_o a_o old_a devil_n whereas_o indeed_o if_o you_o be_v young_a devil_n you_o will_v be_v old_a beelzebub_n and_o therefore_o this_o be_v a_o suggestion_n prevail_v wit●_n many_o heart_n i_o shall_v
