go_v to_o heaven_n and_o be_v save_v for_o ever_o what_o then_o though_o thou_o have_v stay_v long_o and_o have_v long_o want_v assurance_n yet_o god_n have_v not_o lead_v thou_o so_o far_o as_o he_o

a_o great_a help_n in_o suffer_v time_n now_o it_o be_v faith_n and_o only_a faith_n that_o can_v gather_v up_o and_o manage_v experience_n the_o lord_n say_v he_o that_o deliver_v i_o from_o the_o

will_v be_v to_o suffer_v to_o encounter_v with_o suffering_n the_o promise_n be_v a_o great_a shelter_n in_o a_o rainy_a day_n now_o there_o be_v nothing_o but_o faith_n that_o can_v apply_v the_o promise_n the_o promise_n be_v the_o plaster_n that_o none_o but_o the_o warm_a hand_n of_o faith_n can_v lay_v on_o upon_o the_o sore_a if_o it_o be_v lay_v on_o by_o any_o other_o hand_n it_o will_v not_o stick_v i_o have_v hear_v of_o a_o poor_a doubt_v soul_n draw_v near_o to_o her_o death_n and_o the_o minister_n press_v one_o promise_n after_o another_o o_o sir_n say_v she_o these_o be_v gracious_a promise_n but_o they_o will_v not_o stick_v upon_o my_o heart_n and_o what_o be_v the_o reason_n that_o the_o promise_v indeed_o do_v not_o stick_v upon_o many_o heart_n but_o because_o it_o be_v lay_v on_o by_o the_o chill_a and_o cold_a hand_n of_o unbelief_n remember_v faith_n have_v a_o warm_a hand_n and_o only_a faith_n have_v a_o warm_a hand_n to_o lay_v on_o the_o promise_n but_o then_o again_o four_o the_o more_o that_o any_o man_n do_v see_v his_o call_n clear_o his_o cal_n to_o suffer_v the_o more_o able_a he_o will_v be_v to_o encounter_v with_o his_o suffering_n now_o it_o be_v faith_n only_o that_o do_v trade_n with_o the_o call_v of_o god_n god_n call_v be_v a_o great_a wal_n a_o strong_a wal_n god_n call_v can_v make_v a_o wal_n of_o water_n when_o the_o child_n of_o israel_n go_v through_o the_o red_a sea_n the_o water_n stand_v like_o a_o wal_n on_o each_o side_n it_o be_v god_n call_v that_o make_v those_o wall_n there_o be_v nothing_o but_o faith_n that_o do_v converse_v with_o the_o call_v of_o god_n and_o make_v out_o the_o cal_n of_o god_n three_o thing_n call_v we_o to_o suffer_v 1._o the_o commandment_n of_o christ_n if_o thou_o will_v be_v my_o disciple_n thou_o must_v deny_v thyself_o and_o take_v up_o thy_o cross_n 2._o the_o example_n of_o christ_n for_o thereunto_o be_v we_o call_v in_o 1_o pet._n 2.5_o christ_n have_v leave_v we_o a_o example_n of_o suffer_v and_o 3._o suffer_v strength_n with_o suffer_v opportunity_n now_o there_o be_v nothing_o but_o faith_n be_v able_a to_o discern_v these_o thing_n and_o therefore_o faith_n and_o faith_n alone_o be_v that_o grace_n under_o christ_n which_o can_v carry_v we_o through_o our_o affliction_n and_o suffer_v although_o they_o be_v never_o so_o great_a object_n but_o you_o will_v say_v we_o have_v hear_v and_o read_v of_o many_o that_o have_v suffer_v hard_a thing_n and_o yet_o have_v none_o of_o this_o faith_n no_o true_a save_a faith_n and_o yet_o have_v suffer_v great_a and_o hard_a thing_n answ_n true_o you_o have_v hear_v it_o may_v be_v of_o some_o jesuit_n die_v for_o their_o religion_n it_o be_v possible_a that_o a_o wicked_a man_n may_v suffer_v much_o and_o that_o upon_o the_o account_n of_o his_o religion_n too_o but_o as_o austin_n speak_v there_o be_v a_o unlikeness_n of_o suffer_v in_o the_o likeness_n of_o suffer_v as_o say_v he_o gold_n be_v in_o the_o same_o fire_n with_o the_o wood_n and_o with_o the_o straw_n with_o the_o same_o fire_n the_o straw_n be_v consume_v and_o the_o gold_n be_v refine_v thing_n suffer_v may_v be_v alike_o and_o yet_o a_o great_a unlikeness_n in_o the_o suffering_n and_o to_o clear_v up_o this_o to_o you_o that_o you_o may_v see_v that_o faith_n alone_o be_v able_a to_o do_v this_o first_n though_o a_o wicked_a man_n may_v suffer_v very_o great_a and_o hard_a thing_n yet_o he_o may_v also_o suffer_v as_o a_o evil_a doer_n if_o you_o suffer_v for_o evil_a do_v say_v the_o apostle_n what_o thanks_o have_v you_o but_o faith_n true_a save_a faith_n it_o do_v well_o and_o suffer_v ill_a and_o second_o though_o a_o wicked_a man_n may_v suffer_v much_o and_o very_o hard_a thing_n yet_o he_o do_v not_o suffer_v upon_o choice_n he_o will_v choose_v rather_o if_o it_o be_v at_o his_o choice_n to_o make_v a_o breach_n upon_o conscience_n than_o a_o breach_n in_o his_o estate_n for_o to_o lose_v his_o conscience_n than_o to_o lose_v his_o life_n he_o do_v not_o suffer_v upon_o choice_n faith_n do_v by_o faith_n moses_n choose_v rather_o to_o suffer_v affliction_n with_o the_o people_n of_o god_n true_a save_a faith_n it_o suffer_v great_a and_o hard_a thing_n and_o that_o upon_o choice_n and_o three_o though_o a_o wicked_a man_n may_v suffer_v much_o yet_o he_o do_v not_o lay_v the_o stress_n of_o all_o upon_o the_o word_n of_o faith_n the_o stress_n of_o all_o be_v lay_v upon_o somewhat_o else_o faith_n love_v to_o suffer_v and_o it_o lay_v the_o stress_n of_o all_o a_o man_n suffering_n upon_o the_o word_n of_o faith_n four_o though_o a_o wicked_a man_n may_v suffer_v much_o and_o that_o upon_o a_o account_n of_o religion_n yet_o it_o may_v be_v he_o be_v sullen_a or_o froward_a or_o discontent_v not_o cheerful_a but_o faith_n suffer_v cheerful_o paul_n and_o silas_n sing_v in_o the_o stock_n and_o the_o primitive_a christian_n take_v with_o

of_o his_o recantation_n and_o be_v as_o cheerful_a as_o any_o other_o faith_n suffer_v cheerful_o five_o though_o a_o wicked_a man_n may_v suffer_v much_o and_o that_o upon_o the_o account_n of_o his_o religion_n yet_o he_o will_v rest_v upon_o his_o suffering_n faith_n will_v make_v one_o suffer_v and_o keep_v one_o from_o rest_v upon_o one_o suffer_v as_o in_o regard_n of_o duty_n faith_n will_v make_v one_o perform_v a_o duty_n and_o it_o will_v keep_v one_o from_o rest_v upon_o that_o performance_n so_o in_o regard_n of_o suffering_n faith_n will_v make_v one_o suffer_v and_o it_o will_v keep_v one_o from_o rest_v upon_o one_o suffer_v in_o case_n that_o a_o man_n have_v do_v much_o faith_n will_v put_v he_o on_o to_o suffer_v as_o if_o he_o have_v do_v nothing_o and_o in_o case_n a_o man_n have_v suffer_v much_o faith_n will_v put_v he_o upon_o do_v as_o if_o he_o have_v suffer_v nothing_o according_a to_o that_o of_o our_o saviour_n he_o that_o will_v be_v my_o
