modest_a in_o spiritual_a thing_n and_o our_o prayer_n do_v come_v short_a of_o the_o return_v of_o they_o solomon_n only_o beg_v wisdom_n of_o god_n and_o the_o lord_n not_o only_o give_v he_o what_o he_o ask_v but_o together_o with_o it_o give_v he_o riches_n and_o honour_n and_o glory_n he_o give_v we_o more_o than_o we_o can_v ask_v or_o think_v ephes_n 3.20_o try_v whether_o you_o have_v these_o ardent_a desire_n after_o christ_n use_v 1_o so_o as_o you_o can_v be_v content_a with_o a_o little_a of_o he_o i_o shall_v show_v you_o who_o they_o be_v that_o go_v without_o these_o apple_n and_o flagon_n these_o live_a cordial_n and_o yet_o do_v desire_n after_o christ_n there_o be_v six_o kind_n of_o successless_a desire_n after_o christ_n 1._o occasional_a desire_n of_o christ_n some_o have_v but_o fit_n or_o pang_n of_o desire_n occasion_v by_o some_o pang_n of_o fear_n or_o terror_n as_o by_o some_o loss_n cross_z sickness_n or_o fear_v of_o death_n when_o the_o fire_n of_o hell_n flash_v in_o a_o man_n face_n than_o he_o will_v have_v a_o flash_n of_o desire_n when_o he_o be_v under_o the_o fear_n of_o death_n then_o oh_o that_o i_o have_v christ_n as_o esau_n long_v for_o pottage_n and_o then_o say_v of_o his_o birthright_n i_o be_o at_o the_o point_n to_o die_v and_o what_o good_a will_v this_o birthright_n do_v i_o such_o long_n will_v some_o man_n have_v after_o christ_n i_o be_o at_o the_o point_n of_o death_n what_o good_a will_n creature-comfort_n do_v i_o o_o give_v i_o of_o these_o live_a cordial_n stay_v i_o with_o spiritual_a flagon_n comfort_v i_o with_o these_o apple_n when_o god_n raise_v up_o a_o storm_n in_o the_o pollute_a conscience_n of_o sinner_n this_o may_v put_v they_o into_o a_o fit_a of_o devotion_n as_o it_o do_v the_o mariner_n in_o jonah_n but_o these_o desire_n usual_o vanish_v away_o with_o the_o occasion_n but_o let_v the_o sea_n be_v calm_v and_o the_o wave_n still_o you_o shall_v see_v the_o profane_a mariner_n fall_v to_o his_o profaneness_n again_o 2._o disproportionable_a desire_n be_v successless_a desire_n when_o christ_n be_v not_o desire_v in_o quantum_fw-la est_fw-la appetibilis_fw-la some_o part_n of_o christ_n be_v desire_v only_o christ_n justify_v but_o not_o christ_n sanctify_v christ_n take_v away_o the_o guilt_n of_o sin_n but_o not_o christ_n divide_v and_o divorce_v the_o lust_n from_o the_o soul_n they_o will_v have_v these_o flagon_n to_o quench_v their_o thirst_n to_o refresh_v they_o when_o they_o be_v scorch_v with_o the_o fear_n of_o hell_n but_o care_v not_o to_o be_v wash_v in_o the_o water_n of_o life_n and_o holiness_n man_n desire_v christ_n to_o save_v they_o but_o will_v not_o have_v he_o to_o reign_v over_o they_o like_o those_o seven_o woman_n isa_n 4.1_o that_o shall_v take_v hold_n of_o one_o man_n say_v we_o will_v eat_v our_o own_o bread_n and_o wear_v our_o own_o apparel_n only_o let_v we_o be_v call_v by_o thy_o name_n to_o take_v away_o our_o reproach_n so_o these_o man_n will_v take_v hold_n of_o christ_n yet_o they_o say_v we_o will_v take_v our_o own_o course_n we_o will_v live_v as_o we_o listen_v only_o let_v we_o be_v call_v by_o thy_o name_n and_o take_v away_o our_o reproach_n from_o we_o thus_o man_n do_v in_o their_o desire_n divide_v christ_n 3._o selfish_a or_o carnal_a desire_n of_o christ_n be_v with_o hout_n success_n when_o man_n desire_v not_o christ_n for_o christ_n sake_n but_o for_o some_o temporal_a or_o carnal_a advantage_n to_o themselves_o as_o the_o jew_n do_v follow_v christ_n up_o and_o down_o by_o sea_n and_o land_n in_o city_n and_o desert_n multitude_n will_v follow_v he_o but_o their_o follow_v he_o but_o felfish_n christ_n therefore_o upbraid_v they_o for_o it_o you_o seek_v i_o

to_o get_v some_o great_a preferment_n by_o he_o but_o when_o christ_n tell_v he_o that_o the_o fox_n have_v hole_n and_o the_o bird_n of_o the_o air_n have_v nest_n but_o the_o son_n of_o man_n have_v not_o whereon_o to_o lay_v his_o head_n it_o be_v think_v by_o all_o interterpreter_n that_o this_o forward_a man_n forsake_v christ_n he_o see_v more_o danger_n of_o part_v with_o his_o estate_n for_o christ_n and_o his_o outward_a comfort_n by_o follow_v he_o than_o he_o have_v hope_n of_o preferment_n by_o he_o therefore_o he_o will_v be_v none_o of_o his_o follower_n it_o be_v a_o
