according_a to_o the_o portion_n of_o our_o temptation_n we_o must_v also_o pray_v that_o the_o lord_n give_v not_o out_o that_o measure_n of_o leave_n to_o the_o devil_n which_o we_o give_v out_o to_o sin_n to_o work_v rebellion_n in_o we_o against_o his_o majesty_n but_o that_o he_o will_v rather_o make_v satan_n a_o surgeon_n to_o show_v we_o our_o sin_n than_o sergeant_n to_o confound_v we_o for_o they_o it_o be_v the_o policy_n of_o the_o adversary_n to_o persuade_v many_o that_o the_o weakness_n of_o their_o body_n and_o feebleness_n of_o their_o brain_n proceed_v of_o their_o temptation_n when_o indeed_o it_o come_v of_o their_o unstaid_a mind_n wander_a toe_n much_o after_o the_o motion_n of_o the_o devil_n in_o that_o they_o not_o rest_v on_o the_o word_n nor_o depend_v on_o christ_n nor_o content_v themselves_o to_o be_v try_v nor_o comfort_v themselves_o by_o meditation_n attend_v toe_n much_o and_o confer_v with_o the_o devil_n illusion_n and_o temptation_n be_v more_o greve_v for_o their_o present_a suffering_n than_o for_o their_o sin_n past_a the_o root_n of_o this_o worldly_a shame_n be_v pride_n and_o haughtiness_n of_o mind_n which_o be_v a_o privy_a evil_n and_o hardly_o will_v be_v beat_v into_o the_o head_n of_o they_o that_o be_v infect_v with_o it_o but_o sure_o it_o be_v that_o we_o will_v never_o be_v so_o grieve_v for_o the_o loss_n of_o a_o thing_n if_o we_o do_v not_o toe_n much_o desire_v it_o and_o toe_n immoderate_o use_v it_o whilst_o we_o have_v it_o john_n 12._o 42._o which_o sin_n of_o haughtiness_n the_o lord_n see_v in_o his_o child_n that_o they_o be_v more_o humble_v with_o the_o loss_n of_o worldly_a credit_n than_o with_o the_o sense_n of_o their_o sin_n and_o loss_n of_o his_o glory_n he_o strike_v they_o with_o the_o want_n of_o that_o thing_n which_o be_v most_o precious_a unto_o they_o because_o they_o make_v no_o conscience_n of_o that_o honour_n which_o be_v most_o precious_a unto_o he_o wherefore_o this_o be_v the_o best_a remedy_n rather_o to_o be_v greve_v that_o we_o feel_v not_o our_o sin_n to_o be_v pardon_v with_o god_n than_o that_o we_o be_v know_v to_o be_v sinner_n among_o man_n and_o that_o we_o be_v ready_a to_o shame_v ourselves_o that_o god_n may_v have_v the_o glory_n acknowledge_v shame_n and_o confusion_n and_o the_o whole_a hell_n of_o temptation_n to_o be_v due_a unto_o we_o and_o glory_n praise_n and_o compassion_n to_o be_v the_o lord_n for_o this_o be_v a_o special_a mark_n of_o the_o child_n of_o god_n by_o temptation_n right_o humble_v when_o he_o be_v ready_a to_o shame_v himself_o for_o his_o sin_n and_o to_o glorify_v god_n in_o his_o mercy_n 29_o unto_o one_o that_o think_v himself_o to_o have_v sin_v against_o the_o holy_a ghost_n he_o say_v satan_n temptation_n follow_v our_o affection_n for_o if_o we_o light_o account_v of_o sin_n he_o blere_v our_o eye_n still_o with_o god_n mercy_n if_o we_o begin_v to_o make_v a_o conscience_n of_o sin_n he_o load_v we_o with_o the_o judgement_n of_o god_n be_v as_o ready_a now_o to_o aggravate_v the_o sin_n more_o than_o it_o be_v in_o itself_o as_o before_o he_o will_v extenuate_v it_o to_o make_v it_o seem_v less_o than_o it_o be_v howbeit_o say_v he_o to_o the_o man_n thus_o afflict_v i_o will_v say_v unto_o you_o as_o samuel_n say_v to_o the_o people_n after_o they_o have_v confess_v themselves_o to_o have_v sin_v against_o god_n with_o a_o great_a sin_n true_a it_o be_v say_v samuel_n not_o flatter_v they_o in_o their_o iniquity_n you_o have_v sin_v great_o notwithstanding_o if_o you_o will_v fear_v the_o lord_n and_o serve_v he_o and_o hear_v his_o voice_n and_o not_o disobey_v the_o word_n of_o the_o lord_n you_o shall_v follow_v the_o lord_n your_o god_n but_o if_o you_o will_v not_o obey_v the_o voice_n of_o the_o lord_n but_o disobey_v the_o lord_n mouth_n then_o shall_v the_o hand_n of_o the_o lord_n be_v upon_o you_o 1._o sam._n 12._o 14._o so_o i_o will_v not_o lessen_v your_o sin_n but_o i_o say_v you_o have_v sin_v with_o a_o great_a sin_n before_o the_o lord_n in_o that_o you_o make_v a_o mock_n of_o the_o word_n which_o you_o know_v yet_o if_o you_o turn_v to_o the_o lord_n in_o fear_n and_o serve_v he_o your_o sin_n be_v remissable_a howsoever_o satan_n charge_v your_o conscience_n in_o that_o you_o have_v do_v evil_a against_o your_o own_o
