that_o they_o which_o desire_v with_o comfort_n to_o bear_v the_o pang_n of_o death_n must_v die_v by_o faith_n that_o be_v they_o must_v set_v before_o their_o eye_n the_o promise_n of_o remission_n

willing_o ready_o and_o joyful_o without_o murmur_v to_o submit_v ourselves_o to_o god_n will_v in_o bear_v the_o pain_n of_o death_n a_o most_o worthy_a precedent_n of_o this_o obedience_n we_o

it_o be_v that_o obedience_n to_o god_n in_o death_n be_v against_o corrupt_a nature_n and_o therefore_o our_o duty_n be_v the_o more_o to_o inure_v ourselves_o to_o the_o perform_n of_o it_o and_o that_o which_o the_o bless_a apostle_n say_v of_o himself_o i_o die_v daily_o aught_o to_o be_v continual_o our_o resolution_n and_o practice_n if_o we_o shall_v inquire_v how_o this_o may_v be_v do_v the_o answer_n be_v when_o god_n lay_v affliction_n upon_o we_o in_o our_o life_n time_n then_o by_o endeavour_v to_o bear_v they_o with_o patience_n meekness_n and_o lowliness_n for_o every_o

the_o question_n of_o conscience_n be_v how_o such_o person_n as_o be_v possess_v or_o fear_v possession_n or_o else_o endure_v molestation_n by_o the_o devil_n in_o their_o house_n may_v have_v

upon_o a_o erroneous_a persuasion_n of_o god_n mercy_n and_o of_o his_o own_o future_a repentance_n this_o be_v the_o sin_n of_o most_o man_n the_o second_o be_v when_o a_o man_n sin_v wilful_o in_o

and_o by_o this_o we_o may_v conceive_v what_o be_v the_o sin_n against_o the_o holy_a ghost_n which_o be_v not_o every_o sin_n of_o presumption_n or_o against_o knowledge_n and_o conscience_n but_o

be_v twofold_a either_o of_o commission_n or_o of_o omission_n i_o say_v in_o respect_n of_o the_o law_n because_o god_n have_v reveal_v in_o his_o law_n two_o sort_n of_o precept_n the_o one_o wherein_o some_o good_a thing_n be_v command_v to_o be_v do_v as_o to_o love_n god_n with_o all_o our_o heart_n and_o our_o neighbour_n as_o ourselves_o the_o other_o wherein_o some_o evil_n be_v

any_o thing_n that_o be_v flat_o forbid_v in_o the_o law_n and_o word_n of_o god_n as_o when_o one_o man_n kill_v another_o contrary_n to_o the_o law_n which_o say_v thou_o shall_v not_o kill_v a_o sin_n of_o omission_n be_v when_o a_o man_n leave_v unperformed_a some_o duty_n which_o the_o law_n require_v as_o for_o example_n the_o preserve_n of_o his_o neighbour_n life_n or_o good_a estate_n when_o it_o lie_v in_o his_o power_n so_o to_o do_v these_o also_o be_v true_o sin_n and_o by_o they_o as_o well_o as_o by_o the_o other_o 43._o man_n shall_v be_v try_v in_o the_o last_o judgement_n sin_n of_o omission_n have_v three_o degree_n first_o when_o a_o man_n do_v nothing_o at_o all_o but_o omit_v the_o duty_n command_v both_o in_o whole_a and_o in_o part_n as_o when_o have_v opportunity_n and_o ability_n he_o do_v not_o move_v so_o much_o as_o one_o finger_n for_o the_o save_n of_o his_o neighbour_n life_n second_o when_o a_o man_n perform_v the_o duty_n enjoin_v but_o fail_v both_o in_o the_o manner_n and_o measure_n thereof_o thus_o the_o heathen_a man_n fail_v in_o do_v good_a work_n in_o that_o the_o thing_n which_o they_o do_v for_o substance_n and_o matter_n be_v good_a and_o commendable_a be_v do_v upon_o civil_a and_o honest_a respect_n and_o refer_v to_o common_a good_a yet_o in_o truth_n their_o action_n be_v no_o better_a than_o sin_n of_o omission_n in_o as_o much_o as_o they_o issue_v from_o corrupt_a fountain_n heart_n void_a of_o faith_n and_o aim_v not_o at_o the_o main_a end_n and_o scope_n of_o all_o humane_a action_n the_o honour_n and_o glory_n of_o god_n three_o when_o a_o man_n do_v thing_n in_o a_o right_a manner_n but_o fail_v in_o the_o measure_n thereof_o and_o thus_o the_o child_n of_o god_n do_v sin_n in_o all_o the_o duty_n of_o the_o law_n for_o they_o do_v the_o good_a thing_n the_o law_n command_v as_o love_n god_n and_o their_o neighbour_n but_o they_o can_v attain_v to_o that_o measure_n of_o love_n which_o the_o law_n require_v and_o thus_o the_o best_a man_n live_v do_v sin_n in_o every_o good_a work_n they_o do_v so_o as_o if_o god_n shall_v enter_v into_o judgement_n deal_v with_o they_o in_o the_o rigour_n of_o his_o justice_n and_o examine_v they_o by_o the_o strict_a rule_n of_o the_o law_n he_o may_v just_o condemn_v they_o even_o for_o their_o best_a action_n and_o in_o this_o regard_n when_o we_o pray_v daily_o for_o the_o pardon_n of_o our_o sin_n the_o best_a work_n we_o do_v must_v come_v in_o the_o number_n of_o they_o because_o we_o fail_v if_o not_o in_o substance_n and_o manner_n yet_o at_o the_o least_o in_o the_o measure_n of_o goodness_n that_o aught_o to_o be_v in_o the_o do_n of_o they_o we_o must_v also_o have_v care_n to_o repent_v we_o even_o of_o these_o our_o sin_n of_o omission_n as_o well_o as_o of_o the_o other_o of_o commission_n because_o by_o leave_v undo_v our_o duty_n we_o do_v oft_o offend_v then_o by_o sin_n commit_v and_o the_o least_o

the_o accomplishment_n of_o the_o vision_n touch_v their_o deliverance_n second_o hence_o we_o learn_v that_o we_o must_v not_o only_o believe_v the_o promise_n of_o god_n in_o general_a that_o god_n be_v true_a and_o faithful_a in_o they_o and_o that_o he_o be_v able_a and_o willing_a to_o fulfil_v they_o even_o as_o he_o make_v they_o but_o we_o must_v believe_v they_o in_o particular_a that_o be_v with_o application_n to_o their_o proper_a and_o several_a circumstance_n which_o be_v the_o particular_a mean_n place_n and_o time_n whereby_o and_o wherein_o he_o have_v give_v his_o word_n as_o touch_v our_o freedom_n and_o exemption_n from_o the_o cross_n take_v a_o instance_n hereof_o in_o the_o prophet_n daniel_n who_o know_v well_o by_o the_o spirit_n of_o prophecy_n that_o the_o lord_n have_v determine_v to_o bring_v upon_o the_o jew_n 70._o year_n captivity_n in_o babylon_n he_o know_v also_o that_o god_n have_v promise_v to_o put_v a_o end_n to_o that_o captivity_n at_o the_o end_n and_o term_v of_o those_o year_n now_o what_o do_v daniel_n in_o this_o case_n upon_o knowledge_n of_o the_o will_n of_o god_n in_o that_o point_n during_o the_o say_a time_n he_o pray_v not_o 9_o unto_o the_o lord_n for_o deliverance_n of_o his_o people_n but_o when_o he_o understand_v that_o the_o time_n draw_v near_o wherein_o it_o be_v the_o will_n of_o god_n that_o the_o jew_n 2._o shall_v return_v out_o of_o captivity_n then_o by_o faith_n apply_v the_o promise_n of_o god_n to_o that_o particular_a time_n he_o beseech_v the_o lord_n in_o prayer_n and_o supplication_n with_o fast_v in_o sackcloth_n and_o ash_n and_o the_o lord_n give_v ear_n unto_o his_o prayer_n &_o yield_v he_o a_o gracious_a answer_n ii_o the_o second_o point_n be_v that_o god_n when_o he_o defer_v deliverance_n he_o do_v it_o upon_o great_a and_o weighty_a cause_n and_o consideration_n best_a know_v to_o himself_o the_o first_o whereof_o be_v that_o thereby_o he_o may_v humble_v man_n thorough_o and_o bring_v they_o to_o a_o utter_a denial_n of_o themselves_o and_o consequent_o cause_v they_o to_o learn_v patience_n in_o affliction_n which_o they_o will_v not_o learn_v if_o they_o may_v be_v their_o own_o carver_n and_o have_v speedy_a deliverance_n from_o the_o cross_n at_o their_o own_o will_n &_o pleasure_n second_o that_o be_v afflict_v they_o may_v acknowledge_v whence_o their_o deliverance_n come_v yea_o whence_o they_o do_v receive_v not_o only_o that_o but_o every_o other_o good_a benefit_n which_o they_o enjoy_v namely_o not_o from_o themselves_o or_o any_o

verify_v in_o affliction_n and_o want_n that_o benefit_n easy_o obtain_v be_v light_o regard_v and_o soon_o forget_v three_o that_o by_o the_o continuance_n of_o the_o cross_n without_o intermission_n he_o may_v make_v they_o to_o distaste_v the_o world_n and_o consequent_o draw_v they_o to_o the_o meditation_n of_o the_o life_n to_o come_v wherein_o all_o matter_n of_o mourning_n shall_v cease_v and_o 4._o all_o tear_n shall_v be_v wipe_v from_o their_o eye_n four_o the_o lord_n defer_v deliverance_n from_o affliction_n that_o he_o may_v prevent_v great_a evil_n and_o danger_n whereinto_o those_o that_o be_v afflict_v may_v run_v if_o they_o have_v their_o heart_n desire_v and_o be_v ease_v not_o at_o his_o will_n but_o at_o their_o own_o wish_n when_o the_o child_n of_o israel_n

for_o deliverance_n when_o they_o be_v afflict_v the_o three_o and_o last_o point_n be_v that_o god_n always_o have_v and_o do_v exercise_v his_o best_a servant_n with_o long_a and_o continue_a
