all_o these_o have_v bear_v up_o brave_o by_o your_o faith_n above_o sink_v and_o afflict_v thought_n and_o solace_v your_o soul_n with_o the_o joy_n of_o heaven_n if_o it_o be_v so_o magnify_v

be_v with_o compassion_n the_o poor_a body_n will_v complain_v we_o live_v a_o animal_n as_o well_o as_o a_o rational_a and_o spiritual_a life_n and_o though_o i_o know_v god_n can_v send_v in_o that_o which_o shall_v lift_v up_o a_o soul_n above_o all_o discouragement_n under_o these_o condition_n yet_o that_o all_o christian_n under_o these_o condition_n have_v such_o influence_n of_o

this_o be_v the_o duty_n that_o we_o must_v separate_v so_o much_o time_n for_o these_o thought_n or_o meditation_n only_o what_o other_o find_v of_o intermix_v of_o thought_n in_o prayer_n i_o know_v not_o but_o this_o i_o know_v who_o have_v cause_n to_o be_v ashamed_a and_o humble_v for_o such_o intermixing_n have_v we_o not_o a_o highpriest_n to_o bear_v the_o iniquity_n of_o our_o holy_a thing_n i_o know_v it_o will_v go_v ill_a with_o some_o body_n when_o the_o mind_n of_o a_o man_n be_v like_o a_o spannel_n that_o run_v before_o his_o master_n one_o while_o he_o keep_v before_o he_o in_o the_o path_n present_o he_o be_v hunt_v on_o the_o other_o side_n the_o hedge_n then_o into_o the_o path_n he_o come_v again_o and_o run_v a_o while_n by_o and_o by_o go_v again_o thus_o the_o

in_o the_o path_n this_o some_o body_n find_v hard_a but_o when_o we_o come_v only_o to_o think_v meditate_v who_o will_v fix_v this_o quicksilver_n the_o bird_n hop_v off_o one_o bough_n to_o another_o stay_v long_o on_o none_o this_o vanity_n and_o inconstancy_n be_v a_o wretched_a distemper_n and_o this_o make_v the_o duty_n of_o meditation_n so_o hard_o if_o the_o heart_n be_v lade_v with_o sorrow_n or_o fill_v with_o fear_n it_o can_v fix_v the_o mind_n upon_o the_o object_n which_o cause_n these_o fear_n or_o sorrow_n if_o it_o be_v enlarge_v with_o joy_n delight_n it_o will_v

they_o will_v not_o fix_v the_o mind_n hence_o many_o christian_n i_o do_v not_o mean_v such_o as_o bear_v the_o name_n only_o but_o real_a and_o serious_a christian_n if_o i_o have_v any_o skill_n to_o judge_v by_o the_o inward_a acquaintance_n i_o have_v with_o they_o and_o observation_n of_o their_o conversation_n have_v complain_v much_o and_o say_v they_o find_v this_o to_o be_v such_o a_o

thing_n they_o propound_v but_o for_o secret_a prayer_n there_o they_o make_v up_o what_o they_o can_v in_o meditation_n and_o in_o truth_n the_o prayer_n of_o many_o christian_n what_o be_v they_o but_o their_o spiritual_a meditation_n express_v in_o word_n to_o god_n but_o if_o other_o thought_n shall_v come_v in_o be_v they_o as_o sinful_a as_o in_o prayer_n wherein_o we_o deal_v with_o god_n immediate_o in_o divine_a worship_n three_o for_o the_o time_n allot_v for_o this_o duty_n one_o hour_n or_o half_o a_o hour_n to_o hold_v the_o mind_n fix_v one_o hour_n or_o half_o a_o hour_n

time_n how_o long_a man_n shall_v meditate_v i_o know_v no_o ground_n for_o that_o first_o i_o conceive_v under_o favour_n meditation_n be_v then_o right_o perform_v when_o the_o affection_n be_v wrought_v up_o unto_o a_o sutableness_n with_o the_o object_n i_o be_o meditate_v upon_o will_v i_o meditate_v upon_o the_o vanity_n of_o the_o creature_n to_o which_o i_o see_v myself_o enslave_v too_o much_o if_o i_o can_v by_o meditation_n come_v to_o see_v the_o vanity_n of_o it_o by_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n assist_v i_o that_o i_o find_v my_o affection_n be_v more_o loosen_v from_o be_v get_v more_o above_o it_o and_o take_v up_o more_o in_o god_n i_o conceive_v meditation_n have_v in_o its_o measure_n attain_v its_o end_n if_o it_o be_v any_o lust_n or_o sin_n that_o i_o will_v see_v the_o evil_n of_o it_o if_o the_o spirit_n help_v i_o in_o meditation_n to_o see_v the_o evil_n of_o it_o so_o that_o i_o fear_v it_o i_o tremble_v at_o it_o my_o will_n turn_v away_o from_o

till_o i_o enjoy_v these_o or_o if_o i_o can_v come_v to_o the_o enjoyment_n yet_o my_o affection_n and_o will_v pursue_v those_o i_o think_v meditation_n have_v its_o end_n in_o meditation_n i_o

how_o it_o will_v let_v it_o be_v in_o what_o length_n or_o shortness_n of_o time_n what_o be_v that_o to_o the_o essence_n of_o the_o duty_n if_o a_o man_n can_v thus_o meditate_v as_o he_o sit_v

daily_o as_o they_o do_v to_o prayer_n beside_o that_o meditation_n which_o they_o have_v as_o i_o instance_a before_o to_o which_o he_o answer_v it_o be_v true_a man_n have_v print_v so_o but_o he_o

meditation_n be_v a_o duty_n be_v not_o the_o question_n and_o so_o instance_a how_o and_o when_o christian_n may_v meditate_v but_o the_o question_n be_v as_o to_o such_o a_o way_n and_o manner_n of_o perform_v the_o duty_n which_o some_o divine_n have_v set_v down_o put_v the_o stress_n in_o the_o performance_n of_o it_o after_o such_o a_o way_n and_o manner_n bind_v all_o christian_n to_o that_o as_o if_o the_o duty_n be_v not_o perform_v unless_o so_o perform_v this_o he_o can_v not_o prove_v therefore_o will_v not_o preach_v it_o but_o omit_v it_o second_o i_o conceive_v the_o fixedness_n of_o the_o thought_n in_o meditation_n to_o hold_v long_o upon_o such_o or_o such_o a_o subject_a which_o we_o will_v meditate_v upon_o depend_v first_o upon_o the_o temper_n and_o

second_o it_o depend_v upon_o the_o strength_n of_o the_o invention_n for_o a_o man_n to_o dilate_v upon_o a_o subject_a in_o meditation_n as_o he_o must_v if_o he_o hold_v long_a and_o fix_v it_o can_v be_v if_o his_o invention_n be_v weak_a hence_o that_o worthy_a divine_a who_o make_v the_o abridgement_n of_o mr._n roger_n seven_o treatise_n upon_o that_o chapter_n of_o meditation_n as_o i_o

because_o in_o preach_v the_o minister_n invention_n have_v help_v their_o invention_n give_v they_o light_n argument_n motive_n etc._n etc._n which_o move_v upon_o their_o will_n and_o affection_n and_o help_v they_o to_o pray_v and_o follow_v god_n to_o teach_v they_o to_o profit_n i_o say_v many_o christian_n can_v do_v thus_o but_o what_o shall_v we_o say_v to_o many_o plain_a heart_a

they_o lose_v all_o than_o they_o complain_v of_o their_o unprofitableness_n and_o dulness_n none_o so_o bad_a as_o they_o how_o can_v they_o meditate_v upon_o that_o which_o they_o do_v not_o
