to_o go_v to_o the_o sacrament_n unsanctified_a and_o unprepared_a as_o he_o tempt_v the_o israelite_n to_o long_a for_o flesh_n when_o it_o be_v death_n to_o long_o for_o it_o while_o the_o flesh_n be_v yet_o between_o their_o tooth_n ere_o it_o be_v chew_v 33._o numb_a 11._o 33._o the_o wrath_n of_o the_o lord_n be_v kindle_v against_o the_o people_n and_o the_o lord_n smite_v the_o people_n with_o a_o very_a great_a plague_n 4._o satan_n tempt_v from_o duty_n by_o plausable_a reason_n thus_o satan_n tempt_v a_o soul_n to_o leave_v duty_n and_o bid_v farewell_n to_o prayer_n and_o sacrament_n and_o sermon_n why_o so_o i_o be_o not_o the_o better_a by_o prayer_n nor_o hear_v nor_o read_v nay_o methinks_v i_o be_o far_o the_o worse_a and_o therefore_o i_o will_v never_o hear_v more_o nor_o attend_v sacrament_n more_o for_o my_o condemnation_n will_v be_v the_o great_a to_o this_o i_o answer_v and_o observe_v arm_v yourself_o thus_o answ_n 1._o it_o be_v better_a to_o perish_v in_o duty_n than_o out_o of_o duty_n whatever_o come_v on_o thou_o let_v god_n find_v thou_o do_v his_o will_n be_v the_o event_n what_o it_o will_v let_v death_n take_v thou_o pray_v and_o hear_v let_v death_n take_v thou_o wait_v upon_o god_n for_o faith_n and_o grace_n it_o be_v better_a for_o thou_o it_o shall_v be_v so_o because_o thou_o be_v do_v thy_o master_n will_v and_o therefore_o say_v i_o will_v pray_v and_o die_v pray_v though_o i_o be_v never_o hear_v because_o pray_v be_v my_o duty_n and_o for_o god_n glory_n let_v i_o die_v in_o a_o duty_n that_o glorifi_v he_o 2._o thou_o can_v never_o perish_v in_o duty_n if_o thou_o be_v find_v in_o they_o in_o obedience_n to_o god_n thou_o may_v be_v like_a to_o perish_v in_o thy_o own_o sense_n but_o thou_o shall_v never_o perish_v i_o say_v if_o thou_o be_v find_v in_o they_o in_o obedience_n to_o god_n obedience_n never_o go_v without_o success_n god_n will_v lose_v himself_o as_o soon_o as_o he_o will_v let_v obedience_n lose_v itself_o duty_n may_v lose_v a_o soul_n but_o obedience_n to_o god_n in_o duty_n never_o yet_o lose_v a_o soul_n to_o this_o day_n 3._o it_o be_v but_o a_o may_v be_v if_o thou_o perish_v in_o duty_n and_o in_o ordinance_n it_o be_v a_o shall_v be_v unto_o thou_o to_o perish_v out_o of_o duty_n for_o duty_n be_v thy_o food_n thou_o must_v live_v by_o duty_n if_o a_o man_n eat_v food_n it_o may_v be_v he_o may_v perish_v though_o he_o do_v eat_v but_o if_o he_o will_v not_o take_v food_n at_o all_o he_o shall_v perish_v so_o it_o may_v be_v thou_o may_v perish_v in_o pray_v and_o hear_v and_o receive_v sacrament_n but_o thou_o shall_v certain_o perish_v in_o the_o neglect_n of_o these_o 4._o god_n will_v at_o last_o speak_v to_o thou_o in_o duty_n for_o it_o be_v his_o way_n wherein_o he_o will_v be_v find_v god_n speak_v not_o at_o first_o 1._o to_o show_v we_o the_o worth_n of_o the_o mercy_n as_o when_o a_o man_n be_v hardly_o entreat_v to_o part_v with_o a_o thing_n it_o be_v because_o it_o be_v a_o thing_n of_o some_o value_n a_o mean_a gift_n he_o will_v part_v with_o at_o the_o first_o word_n or_o it_o may_v be_v without_o ask_v so_o god_n give_v mean_a thing_n as_o riches_n and_o honour_n in_o this_o life_n to_o man_n without_o ask_v to_o they_o that_o never_o call_v upon_o his_o name_n but_o spiritual_a mercy_n as_o peace_n of_o soul_n joy_n and_o assurance_n of_o his_o love_n these_o he_o do_v not_o give_v sudden_o and_o easy_o not_o because_o he_o be_v hard_o to_o be_v entreat_v for_o he_o do_v purpose_n to_o give_v they_o before_o we_o ask_v he_o but_o to_o show_v we_o the_o worth_n of_o those_o rare_a and_o matchless_a mercy_n of_o what_o value_n they_o be_v of_o 2._o to_o strengthen_v and_o breathe_v our_o faith_n as_o wrestle_v do_v add_v strength_n to_o arm_n and_o body_n so_o pray_v and_o pray_v again_o do_v strengthen_v faith_n as_o use_v and_o exercise_v in_o run_v strengthen_v the_o lung_n and_o lengthen_v the_o breath_n so_o by_o much_o pray_n faith_n be_v well_o breathe_v jacob_n by_o wrestle_v all_o night_n be_v strong_a to_o wrestle_v in_o the_o morning_n the_o angel_n say_v let_v i_o go_v for_o the_o 26._o gen._n 32._o 26._o day_n break_v and_o he_o say_v i_o will_v not_o let_v thou_o go_v till_o thou_o bless_v i_o he_o grow_v strong_a and_o strong_a i_o will_v not_o let_v thou_o go_v he_o be_v strong_a at_o last_n than_o at_o the_o first_o 3._o to_o keep_v we_o in_o the_o exercise_n of_o some_o other_o grace_n he_o do_v not_o at_o first_o give_v we_o assurance_n of_o his_o love_n to_o keep_v we_o in_o the_o exercise_n of_o prayer_n and_o long_v after_o his_o lovingkindness_n he_o do_v not_o present_o as_o soon_o as_o we_o ask_v he_o crown_v we_o with_o victory_n over_o a_o temptation_n that_o he_o may_v keep_v we_o in_o the_o exercise_n of_o humility_n and_o self-loathing_a he_o deni_v we_o for_o a_o while_n some_o one_o comfort_n or_o grace_n for_o the_o exercise_n of_o another_o for_o this_o thing_n say_v paul_n i_o be_v seek_v the_o lord_n thrice_o that_o it_o may_v 9_o 2_o cor._n 12._o 8_o 9_o depart_v from_o i_o and_o he_o say_v unto_o i_o my_o grace_n be_v sufficient_a for_o thou_o for_o my_o strength_n be_v make_v perfect_a in_o weakness_n 4._o to_o let_v we_o know_v that_o the_o grace_n or_o comfort_n we_o ask_v be_v his_o gift_n of_o grace_n of_o free_a grace_n not_o a_o debt_n unto_o our_o person_n or_o our_o prayer_n that_o when_o we_o have_v pray_v never_o so_o long_o yet_o he_o give_v free_o 5._o to_o discipline_n we_o in_o humble_a obedience_n and_o wait_v on_o he_o to_o teach_v we_o our_o place_n that_o we_o may_v know_v ourselves_o that_o it_o be_v our_o duty_n to_o wait_v upon_o he_o as_o long_o as_o he_o please_v and_o that_o we_o may_v understand_v his_o greatness_n and_o distance_n above_o we_o god_n will_v keep_v up_o his_o place_n in_o the_o heart_n of_o his_o people_n and_o therefore_o will_v make_v they_o wait_v long_o before_o he_o give_v in_o the_o thing_n they_o pray_v for_o yet_o i_o say_v for_o all_o this_o god_n will_v at_o last_o speak_v unto_o thou_o in_o duty_n for_o it_o be_v his_o way_n wherein_o he_o will_v be_v find_v he_o bid_v thou_o pray_v therefore_o thou_o shall_v speed_v in_o prayer_n he_o bid_v thou_o hear_v therefore_o thou_o shall_v meet_v he_o one_o time_n or_o other_o in_o hear_v his_o word_n when_o god_n see_v a_o saint_n resolve_v to_o pray_v for_o a_o mercy_n promise_v as_o soon_o as_o ever_o he_o begin_v to_o pray_v for_o it_o god_n resolve_v to_o bestow_v it_o
