godly_a this_o must_v be_v the_o more_o terrible_a because_o they_o be_v of_o a_o more_o tender_a apprehension_n as_o they_o say_v christ_n bodily_a pain_n be_v more_o than_o other_o man_n can_v be_v because_o of_o the_o excellent_a temper_n and_o tender_a constitution_n of_o his_o body_n so_o it_o be_v with_o the_o godly_a every_o expression_n of_o god_n anger_n fall_v like_o a_o drop_n of_o scald_a lead_n into_o a_o man_n eye_n the_o conscience_n of_o the_o believer_n when_o once_o awaken_v feel_v every_o frown_n of_o god_n like_o a_o hell_n thus_o after_o the_o commit_n of_o gross_a sin_n god_n hide_v his_o face_n and_o then_o for_o the_o while_n they_o be_v like_o so_o many_o cain_n and_o judas_n cry_v out_o their_o sin_n be_v great_a than_o they_o can_v bear_v and_o true_o this_o worm_n will_v never_o die_v this_o fire_n will_v never_o be_v quench_v in_o they_o do_v not_o god_n again_o take_v they_o into_o favour_n there_o be_v no_o difference_n between_o a_o man_n damn_v in_o hell_n and_o a_o godly_a man_n trouble_v in_o conscience_n but_o the_o adjunct_n of_o time_n one_o be_v perpetual_a and_o the_o other_o be_v not_o now_o our_o divine_n say_v that_o eternity_n be_v not_o essential_a to_o the_o punishment_n of_o hell_n for_o christ_n suffer_v the_o torment_n of_o hell_n for_o we_o which_o yet_o be_v not_o in_o time_n eternal_a but_o accidental_a because_o those_o in_o hell_n be_v not_o able_a to_o satisfy_v god_n justice_n therefore_o they_o must_v continue_v there_o till_o they_o have_v pay_v the_o last_o farthing_n which_o because_o they_o can_v do_v to_o all_o eternity_n therefore_o they_o be_v torment_v for_o ever_o look_v upon_o david_n again_o in_o psal_n 32.3_o 4._o how_o it_o fare_v with_o he_o because_o of_o his_o sin_n my_o bone_n wax_v old_a through_o my_o roar_v all_o the_o day_n long_o my_o moisture_n be_v turn_v into_o the_o drought_n of_o summer_n do_v david_n speak_v these_o thing_n hyperbolical_o and_o rhetorical_o only_a do_v he_o not_o find_v such_o anguish_n and_o consumption_n in_o his_o soul_n that_o he_o think_v no_o word_n can_v express_v it_o and_o all_o this_o he_o say_v be_v because_o of_o sin_n o_o then_o believe_v this_o and_o tremble_v lest_o such_o a_o whale_n of_o sorrow_n and_o grief_n shall_v swallow_v thou_o up_o as_o do_v david_n thus_o it_o be_v also_o with_o the_o incestuous_a person_n the_o devil_n be_v ready_a to_o swallow_v he_o up_o he_o be_v deliver_v to_o he_o to_o be_v torment_v by_o he_o and_o can_v all_o this_o be_v do_v yet_o god_n take_v no_o notice_n of_o sin_n as_o the_o godly_a in_o this_o life_n time_n may_v have_v that_o joy_n in_o the_o gospel_n which_o pass_v all_o understanding_n and_o more_o than_o the_o heart_n can_v perceive_v so_o they_o may_v have_v for_o sin_n such_o trouble_n and_o spiritual_a desertion_n that_o shall_v make_v every_o thing_n their_o chamber_n the_o field_n a_o very_a hell_n to_o they_o and_o david_n in_o many_o psalm_n manifest_v such_o desolation_n upon_o his_o soul_n especial_o this_o be_v see_v in_o lapse_n when_o persecution_n do_v abound_v and_o man_n through_o fear_n have_v deny_v that_o truth_n which_o in_o their_o conscience_n they_o be_v assure_v of_o we_o may_v read_v in_o ecclesiastical_a history_n of_o the_o grievous_a wound_n and_o gash_n god_n people_n through_o frailty_n have_v make_v upon_o their_o own_o soul_n and_o as_o it_o be_v thus_o in_o matter_n of_o consolation_n so_o in_o the_o particular_a of_o sanctification_n sanctification_n how_o may_v you_o observe_v some_o who_o have_v be_v plant_v by_o god_n grace_n like_o a_o paradise_n through_o their_o negligence_n and_o corruption_n become_v like_o a_o parch_a wilderness_n be_v not_o david_n in_o his_o fall_n till_o recover_v like_o a_o tree_n in_o winter_n though_o the_o moisture_n of_o grace_n be_v within_o yet_o nothing_o do_v outward_o appear_v be_v he_o not_o like_o samson_n when_o his_o hair_n be_v cut_v off_o not_o able_a to_o break_v the_o cord_n of_o sin_n he_o be_v tie_v in_o some_o have_v think_v a_o godly_a man_n can_v no_o more_o fall_n from_o the_o degree_n of_o grace_n than_o the_o essence_n &_o state_n of_o grace_n but_o if_o sin_n increase_n and_o grow_v certain_o grace_n must_v decrease_v for_o whether_o sin_n expel_v grace_n meritorious_o only_a or_o formal_o still_o the_o introduction_n of_o the_o one_o must_v be_v the_o expulsion_n of_o the_o other_o thus_o rev._n 2._o the_o church_n be_v reprove_v for_o abate_v in_o her_o first_o love_n and_o the_o people_n of_o god_n complain_v why_o have_v thou_o harden_v our_o heart_n from_o thy_o fear_n isa_n 63.17_o not_o that_o god_n do_v infuse_v hardness_n but_o only_o he_o deny_v mollify_a grace_n and_o certain_o a_o
