countenance_n upon_o we_o thou_o have_v put_v more_o gladness_n in_o my_o heart_n than_o in_o the_o time_n that_o their_o corn_n and_o their_o wine_n increase_v now_o according_a to_o the_o open_n

against_o conscience_n but_o now_o where_o there_o be_v true_a comfort_n and_o comfort_n from_o the_o grace_n of_o god_n there_o conscience_n be_v as_o the_o apple_n of_o the_o eye_n and_o the_o man_n can_v endure_v the_o least_o sin_n he_o can_v bear_v the_o least_o mote_n of_o sin_n to_o lie_v upon_o his_o conscience_n how_o be_v it_o therefore_o with_o you_o be_v your_o comfort_n a_o friend_n to_o holiness_n of_o life_n and_o can_v you_o say_v the_o more_o comfort_v i_o be_o the_o more_o holy_a i_o be_o then_o you_o be_v true_o comfort_v but_o suppose_v i_o want_v comfort_n now_o and_o

i_o answer_v first_o go_v away_o and_o be_v sensible_a of_o your_o unbelief_n for_o it_o be_v want_v of_o believe_v that_o hinder_v our_o comfort_n and_o when_o the_o comforter_n come_v he_o will_v

you_o accept_v of_o it_o especial_o in_o a_o time_n of_o temptation_n four_o be_v sure_o you_o do_v not_o rest_v upon_o your_o own_o performance_n in_o reference_n to_o your_o comfort_n brethren_n and_o belove_a think_v on_o these_o thing_n and_o compare_v they_o with_o your_o own_o daily_a experience_n i_o say_v if_o you_o will_v be_v true_o comfort_v do_v not_o rest_v on_o your_o own_o

in_o reference_n to_o our_o comfort_n o_o take_v heed_n you_o do_v not_o go_v about_o to_o establish_v your_o own_o comfort_n upon_o the_o bottom_n of_o your_o own_o performance_n for_o if_o you_o

the_o grace_n of_o god_n what_o be_v the_o reason_n people_n be_v no_o more_o comfort_v it_o be_v because_o they_o see_v no_o more_o of_o the_o grace_n of_o god_n the_o free_a grace_n of_o god_n the_o more_o you_o look_v into_o the_o riches_n and_o freeness_n of_o god_n grace_n the_o more_o you_o will_v be_v comfort_v six_o if_o you_o want_v comfort_n at_o any_o time_n walk_v gracious_o in_o the_o want_n of_o it_o when_o you_o want_v comfort_n go_v to_o god_n and_o say_v lord_n although_o i_o can_v see_v thou_o yet_o will_v i_o serve_v thou_o and_o although_o i_o can_v enjoy_v thou_o yet_o i_o

your_o comfort_n seven_o set_v yourself_o to_o rejoice_v in_o he_o that_o give_v you_o comfort_n rejoice_v in_o the_o lord_n always_o and_o again_o i_o say_v rejoice_v say_v the_o apostle_n phil._n 4.4_o he_o do_v not_o only_o say_v humble_a yourself_o for_o sin_n which_o be_v a_o duty_n and_o a_o great_a duty_n but_o he_o say_v rejoice_v and_o again_o i_o say_v rejoice_v in_o the_o lord_n rejoice_v in_o the_o lord_n who_o give_v you_o comfort_v free_o as_o much_o as_o you_o have_v be_v humble_v for_o sin_n former_o so_o much_o shall_v you_o now_o rejoice_v that_o you_o have_v be_v comfort_v and_o free_o comfort_v by_o the_o grace_n of_o god_n rejoice_v so_o much_o in_o the_o lord_n of_o your_o comfort_n eight_o to_o name_v they_o only_o if_o you_o will_v be_v comfort_v in_o a_o way_n of_o free_a grace_n and_o love_n then_o be_v thankful_a for_o your_o comfort_n he_o that_o be_v thankful_a for_o a_o little_a shall_v have_v much_o be_v thankful_a therefore_o to_o god_n for_o your_o comfort_n last_o will_v you_o be_v comfort_v in_o a_o way_n of_o free_a grace_n and_o love_n then_o go_v to_o god_n for_o that_o comfort_n friend_n and_o beloved_n god_n be_v willing_a most_o willing_a to_o comfort_v and_o what_o will_v you_o not_o go_v to_o he_o god_n be_v willing_a to_o make_v good_a his_o name_n and_o his_o title_n now_o this_o be_v one_o of_o his_o title_n i_o be_o the_o lord_n that_o comfort_v he_o be_v willing_a to_o do_v what_o christ_n be_v send_v to_o do_v the_o spirit_n of_o the_o lord_n be_v upon_o i_o to_o comfort_v all_o that_o mourn_v isa_n 61.2_o be_v

you_o my_o people_n isa_n 40.1_o and_o be_v not_o you_o willing_a now_o to_o receive_v what_o god_n have_v promise_v i_o will_v not_o leave_v you_o comfortless_a i_o will_v come_v unto_o you_o john_n 14.15_o you_o will_v be_v trouble_v and_o reason_n with_o yourselves_o yet_o i_o will_v not_o leave_v you_o comfortless_o as_o one_o who_o his_o mother_n comfort_v so_o will_v i_o comfort_v you_o and_o you_o shall_v be_v comfort_v isa_n 66.13_o therefore_o now_o o_o poor_a droop_a soul_n go_v to_o god_n for_o he_o be_v willing_a to_o comfort_v thou_o if_o thou_o be_v but_o willing_a to_o go_v

account_n read_v what_o the_o psalmist_n say_v psal_n 31.19_o o_o how_o great_a be_v thy_o goodness_n which_o thou_o have_v lay_v up_o for_o they_o that_o fear_v thou_o that_o thou_o have_v wrought_v for_o they_o that_o trust_v in_o thou_o before_o the_o son_n of_o men._n yea_o further_o if_o you_o true_o fear_v the_o lord_n the_o eye_n of_o god_n shall_v be_v upon_o you_o for_o good_a unto_o he_o will_v i_o look_v that_o tremble_v unto_o he_o will_v i_o look_v that_o fear_v say_v the_o lord_n again_o if_o you_o true_o fear_v the_o lord_n the_o lord_n will_v delight_v in_o you_o yea_o god_n will_v be_v a_o god_n unto_o you_o god_n will_v be_v a_o strong_a tower_n to_o you_o and_o he_o will_v sanctify_v all_o unto_o you_o and_o to_o say_v no_o more_o they_o that_o fear_v the_o lord_n shall_v want_v no_o good_a thing_n o_o what_o a_o bless_a thing_n be_v it_o then_o to_o fear_v the_o lord_n for_o from_o he_o god_n will_v withhold_v no_o good_a thing_n and_o thus_o you_o see_v the_o issue_n of_o this_o fear_v of_o god_n consider_v it_o consider_v i_o say_v the_o consequence_n and_o issue_n of_o it_o and_o let_v it_o be_v so_o many_o motive_n to_o stir_v you_o up_o more_o and_o more_o to_o fear_v the_o lord_n so_o much_o shall_v serve_v for_o the_o doctrinal_a part_n now_o then_o by_o way_n of_o application_n here_o we_o may_v see_v what_o a_o sad_a excuse_n that_o will_v be_v which_o many_o make_v that_o say_v they_o do_v but_o as_o other_o do_v but_o alas_o this_o be_v a_o excuse_n fit_a for_o the_o lip_n of_o those_o only_a who_o fear_v not_o god_n at_o all_o but_o second_o if_o this_o doctrine_n be_v true_a then_o here_o you_o may_v see_v who_o those_o be_v that_o fear_n god_n in_o truth_n there_o be_v many_o pretender_n to_o it_o but_o we_o find_v here_o that_o those_o that_o true_o fear_v the_o lord_n can_v will_v not_o do_v as_o other_o do_v they_o will_v not_o do_v as_o other_o do_v in_o the_o matter_n of_o their_o choice_n in_o the_o matter_n of_o their_o worship_n nor_o of_o their_o call_n nor_o in_o what_o they_o be_v entrust_v with_o nor_o in_o their_o refreshment_n nor_o in_o their_o affliction_n nor_o in_o their_o right_n and_o propriety_n and_o if_o it_o be_v so_o how_o few_o be_v there_o that_o fear_n the_o lord_n in_o truth_n they_o that_o true_o fear_v god_n say_v always_o as_o nehemiah_n but_o so_o do_v not_o i_o because_o of_o the_o fear_n of_o god_n there_o be_v many_o that_o lie_v quiet_a under_o sin_n of_o omission_n and_o under_o sin_n of_o commission_n too_o but_o so_o will_v not_o i_o because_o of_o the_o fear_n of_o god_n do_v other_o sin_n and_o do_v other_o act_v contrary_a to_o the_o will_n of_o god_n yet_o let_v we_o not_o do_v so_o but_o let_v we_o say_v with_o nehemiah_n but_o so_o will_v not_o i_o because_o of_o the_o fear_n of_o god_n o_o therefore_o let_v i_o desire_v all_o to_o fear_v the_o lord_n and_o for_o you_o that_o do_v fear_v the_o lord_n be_v you_o comfort_v for_o comfort_n belong_v to_o you_o everlasting_a mercy_n belong_v to_o you_o who_o fear_v the_o lord_n jer._n 31.3_o i_o have_v love_v you_o with_o a_o everlasting_a love_n but_o it_o may_v be_v some_o will_v say_v i_o be_o afraid_a i_o do_v not_o fear_v the_o lord_n and_o so_o this_o comfort_n do_v not_o belong_v to_o i_o why_o consider_v first_o do_v you_o make_v conscience_n of_o what_o you_o do_v do_v your_o conscience_n accuse_v you_o or_o not_o for_o what_o you_o do_v do_v you_o find_v conscience_n accuse_v or_o excuse_v second_o have_v you_o not_o sin_v in_o the_o dark_a when_o none_o can_v accuse_v but_o god_n only_o and_o do_v you_o act_n and_o walk_v and_o live_v and_o labour_n as_o if_o you_o be_v in_o the_o presence_n and_o sight_n of_o god_n if_o you_o do_v thus_o than_o you_o do_v fear_v the_o lord_n and_o then_o it_o shall_v be_v well_o with_o you_o eccles_n 8.12_o again_o three_o do_v you_o run_v and_o speak_v one_o to_o another_o if_o so_o than_o this_o be_v to_o fear_v the_o

you_o not_o take_v they_o because_o of_o the_o fear_n of_o god_n then_o certain_o you_o have_v receive_v free_a grace_n and_o you_o have_v the_o spirit_n of_o god_n for_o this_o be_v a_o true_a sign_n that_o you_o have_v true_a grace_n in_o your_o heart_n and_o that_o you_o be_v one_o of_o they_o that_o true_o fear_v the_o lord_n and_o therefore_o be_v you_o comfort_v for_o comfort_n belong_v

that_o man_n be_v not_o far_o from_o grace_n who_o be_v humble_v for_o the_o want_n of_o grace_n a_o man_n will_v never_o be_v humble_v for_o unbelief_n unless_o he_o be_v humble_v for_o the_o want_n of_o it_o second_o go_v to_o god_n and_o beg_v of_o he_o to_o fulfil_v his_o promise_n god_n have_v say_v i_o will_v put_v my_o fear_n into_o their_o heart_n now_o go_v to_o god_n i_o say_v and_o

if_o you_o will_v fear_v the_o lord_n in_o truth_n than_o worship_n god_n according_a to_o his_o own_o appointment_n take_v heed_n of_o mingle_v of_o god_n worship_n with_o any_o of_o man_n
