be_v this_o poor_a woman_n cut_v and_o at_o last_o cut_v of_o life_n too_o o_o all_o cut_n but_o her_o soul_n save_v and_o that_o i_o very_o believe_v on_o good_a ground_n and_o now_o though_o here_o

and_o do_v believe_v none_o no_o not_o one_o of_o all_o you_o can_v condemn_v i_o but_o my_o heart_n do_v a_o little_a i_o think_v to_o enjoy_v she_o when_o we_o be_v old_a and_o to_o be_v so_o kind_a to_o she_o as_o we_o may_v be_v all_o along_o my_o advice_n o_o husband_n and_o wife_n be_v yea_o i_o wish_v you_o pray_v you_o entreat_v you_o to_o look_v on_o one_o another_o as_o as_o part_a die_a

ten_o thousand_o world_n o_o my_o friend_n i_o hope_v you_o be_v not_o guilty_a like_o i_o in_o this_o particular_a if_o you_o be_v it_o may_v trouble_v you_o more_o than_o you_o be_v aware_a of_o one_o day_n o_o if_o i_o have_v doubt_v that_o her_o soul_n have_v miscarry_v how_o heavy_a heavy_a will_v this_o have_v be_v yea_o how_o sad_o shall_v i_o have_v follow_v her_o corpse_n to_o the_o garve_v a_o body_n miscarry_v be_v not_o easy_o bear_v but_o a_o soul_n miscarry_v who_o can_v bear_v it_o o_o friend_n love_v your_o wife_n and_o husband_n soul_n as_o much_o above_o their_o body_n as_o you_o do_v their_o body_n above_o their_o clothes_n it_o will_v do_v the_o wife_n good_a to_o think_v that_o the_o husband_n soul_n be_v in_o heaven_n smile_v whilst_o she_o and_o her_o friend_n be_v mourn_v for_o the_o corpse_n in_o the_o coffin_n when_o my_o wife_n be_v sick_a and_o i_o think_v it_o may_v be_v unto_o death_n then_o than_o i_o think_v how_o many_o night_n my_o poor_a wife_n will_v call_v on_o i_o in_o the_o night_n watch_n sweetheart_n husband_n let_v we_o talk_v of_o christ_n a_o little_a let_v we_o have_v some_o spiritual_a discourse_n pray_v be_v not_o so_o sleepy_a

you_o my_o friend_n to_o take_v all_o advantage_n by_o night_n and_o day_n to_o do_v one_o another_o soul_n good_a o_o if_o that_o be_v save_v how_o will_v it_o comfort_v &_o rejoice_v your_o heart_n when_o you_o in_o a_o melancholy_a way_n walk_v to_o view_v again_o the_o grave_n of_o your_o wife_n your_o husband_n how_o will_v the_o heart_n be_v lift_v up_o with_o such_o kind_n of_o sweet_a

and_o sorrow_n death_n hell_n and_o misery_n devil_n man_n and_o danger_n the_o absence_n of_o a_o friend_n be_v not_o so_o much_o a_o grief_n as_o the_o condition_n of_o he_o in_o his_o absence_n if_o a_o friend_n be_v in_o prosperity_n you_o only_o mourn_v for_o his_o absence_n but_o if_o you_o doubt_v he_o be_v in_o misery_n you_o mourn_v double_a true_o a_o absent_a soul_n doubt_v to_o be_v

by_o their_o own_o strength_n well_o i_o be_o willing_a to_o leave_v all_o to_o go_v to_o christ_n indeed_o i_o be_o indeed_o i_o be_o what_o will_v all_o thing_n avail_v i_o but_o christ_n the_o

a_o little_a trouble_v say_v o_o lord_n sweet_a heart_n why_o do_v you_o not_o believe_v i_o when_o i_o have_v tell_v you_o so_o often_o i_o have_v
you_o know_v who_o i_o mean_v in_o a_o mystical_a way_n from_o one_o to_o another_o till_o all_o be_v half_o drink_v and_o then_o they_o depart_v with_o a_o equal_a proportion_n towards_o the_o shot_n but_o i_o will_v bid_v these_o good_a night_n and_o come_v close_o to_o the_o matter_n in_o a_o spiritual_a way_n for_o i_o think_v it_o as_o vain_a to_o speak_v to_o they_o now_o as_o it_o be_v to_o expect_v a_o swallow_n in_o winter_n well_o the_o next_o thing_n be_v the_o place_n where_o christ_n knock_v which_o be_v the_o door_n o_o that_o be_v without_o you_o know_v who_o be_v without_o why_o who_o be_v within_o that_o the_o king_n of_o glory_n be_v without_o why_o who_o be_v within_o that_o christ_n stand_v without_o sin_n satan_n the_o world_n pleasure_n profit_n and_o they_o always_o keep_v christ_n without_o till_o he_o break_v in_o and_o whip_v these_o buyer_n and_o seller_n out_o of_o his_o temple_n which_o christ_n sometime_o do_v as_o well_o as_o once_o those_o out_o of_o solomon_n temple_n but_o for_o present_v christ_n be_v without_o christ_n the_o lord_n of_o life_n and_o glory_n who_o stand_v with_o pardon_n peace_n and_o mercy_n for_o their_o soul_n if_o he_o may_v once_o be_v admit_v but_o what_o if_o he_o be_v not_o then_o they_o be_v undo_v for_o they_o must_v die_v without_o they_o and_o be_v damn_v too_o for_o the_o abuse_n of_o his_o patience_n therefore_o mind_n it_o careless_a sinner_n before_o christ_n go_v and_o take_v his_o leave_n for_o knock_v any_o more_o which_o christ_n will_v one_o day_n do_v when_o he_o can_v have_v admittance_n for_o the_o world_n pleasure_n profit_n but_o sure_o it_o be_v impossible_a christ_n shall_v be_v without_o whilst_o they_o be_v within_o nay_o it_o be_v true_a enough_o do_v you_o not_o hear_v he_o knock_v i_o hear_v some_o body_n but_o i_o do_v not_o think_v it_o be_v christ_n you_o do_v not_o think_v it_o be_v christ_n sometime_o you_o do_v not_o hear_v at_o all_o for_o business_n and_o sometime_o you_o do_v not_o hear_v for_o carelessness_n when_o shall_v christ_n have_v admittance_n when_o when_o i_o be_o for_o myself_o say_v the_o servant_n and_o can_v tend_v to_o open_v and_o when_o i_o have_v this_o or_o that_o estate_n say_v the_o worldling_n and_o for_o every_o child_n a_o portion_n so_o say_v the_o vain_a christian_n or_o much_o to_o this_o purpose_n when_o i_o have_v my_o swing_n of_o pleasure_n i_o will_v tend_v christ_n and_o till_o than_o he_o must_v wait_v and_o thus_o the_o servant_n put_v off_o christ_n for_o freedom_n and_o the_o worldling_n for_o estate_n and_o the_o luxurious_a for_o his_o pleasure_n all_o abuse_v christ_n and_o his_o patience_n too_o but_o if_o these_o delay_n christ_n shall_v take_v for_o full_a and_o flat_a denial_n what_o will_v then_o become_v of_o their_o immortal_a soul_n worth_a more_o than_o crown_n and_o kingdom_n or_o ten_o thousand_o world_n because_o they_o be_v immortal_a and_o breathe_v once_o from_o god_n but_o now_o must_v die_v in_o their_o sin_n as_o christ_n tell_v the_o jew_n and_o perish_v too_o for_o he_o and_o now_o they_o have_v be_v happy_a if_o they_o have_v never_o hear_v of_o he_o nor_o his_o knock_n neither_o which_o see_v they_o have_v slight_v shall_v damn_v they_o with_o a_o vengeance_n but_o how_o do_v you_o know_v it_o be_v christ_n that_o knock_v poor_a simple_a soul_n do_v you_o not_o know_v it_o that_o seem_v thou_o be_v not_o much_o acquaint_v with_o christ_n nor_o his_o knock_n when_o thou_o do_v not_o know_v that_o when_o the_o servant_n know_v his_o master_n and_o the_o child_n his_o parent_n every_o thing_n know_v more_o than_o thou_o the_o sheep_n the_o shepherd_n whistle_n the_o bee_n his_o own_o hive_n and_o the_o ass_n his_o master_n crib_n but_o my_o people_n know_v not_o i_o say_v the_o lord_n by_o his_o prophet_n isaiah_n but_o i_o will_v help_v thou_o what_o i_o can_v to_o learn_v christ_n knock_n expect_v thou_o will_v open_v when_o he_o come_v again_o it_o be_v christ_n knock_v mark_v i_o first_o i_o know_v it_o be_v christ_n that_o knock_v he_o knock_v thunder_o or_o loud_o 2._o i_o know_v it_o be_v christ_n that_o knock_v by_o his_o still_a and_o

christ_n by_o the_o place_n he_o knock_v at_o the_o door_n where_o he_o usal_o come_v in_o and_o not_o at_o a_o window_n or_o a_o by_o way_n but_o why_o do_v christ_n knock_v so_o loud_a and_o thunder_o he_o think_v you_o be_v asleep_a or_o dead_a sure_a as_o every_o man_n and_o woman_n too_o be_v by_o nature_n and_o therefore_o say_v christ_n the_o dead_a shall_v he_o be_v my_o voice_n and_o live_v as_o in_o john_n 5.25_o this_o christ_n do_v not_o mean_a of_o the_o day_n of_o judgement_n though_o that_o be_v true_a that_o by_o christ_n voice_n and_o power_n the_o dead_a shall_v one_o day_n hear_v and_o every_o man_n be_v start_v from_o his_o grave_n some_o for_o glory_n most_o for_o wrath_n and_o vengeance_n or_o execution_n like_o malefactor_n with_o chain_n of_o guilt_n about_o their_o neck_n and_o conscience_n bind_v up_o their_o fear_n about_o they_o which_o heavy_a lay_n than_o millstone_n o_o how_o dreadful_a will_v this_o resurrection_n be_v when_o million_o of_o ungodly_a soul_n shall_v come_v to_o join_v with_o curse_a body_n it_o be_v say_v jephthah_n weep_v and_o tear_v his_o hair_n when_o he_o see_v his_o daughter_n and_o the_o virgin_n of_o israel_n come_v to_o meet_v he_o but_o sure_o this_o meeting_n of_o damn_a soul_n and_o curse_a body_n will_v be_v much_o more_o bitter_a to_o thy_o body_n who_o lay_v in_o dust_n silent_a free_a from_o pain_n happy_a be_v it_o for_o thy_o body_n if_o it_o may_v still_o live_v with_o worm_n and_o moulder_a rottenness_n and_o silent_a darkness_n but_o it_o can_v be_v christ_n must_v have_v thou_o out_o and_o judge_v thou_o too_o for_o thy_o ungodly_a deed_n and_o act_n as_o well_o as_o reward_v his_o saint_n for_o all_o their_o work_n wrought_v by_o his_o spirit_n in_o their_o soul_n but_o i_o shall_v forget_v myself_o the_o thing_n be_v that_o i_o be_v speak_v too_o sure_a christ_n know_v the_o sinner_n be_v asleep_a or_o dead_a that_o he_o do_v not_o open_a and_o true_o a_o sinner_n may_v be_v well_o say_v to_o be_v dead_a till_o christ_n come_v to_o live_v in_o he_o because_o christ_n be_v the_o fountain_n of_o life_n and_o therefore_o if_o christ_n be_v not_o in_o the_o soul_n it_o must_v needs_o then_o be_v dead_a at_o least_o in_o a_o spiritual_a sense_n for_o want_v of_o christ_n for_o as_o the_o soul_n be_v the_o life_n of_o the_o body_n so_o christ_n be_v the_o life_n of_o the_o soul_n and_o therefore_o when_o thou_o keep_v christ_n out_o thou_o keep_v thy_o soul_n from_o thy_o soul_n o_o death_n and_o sleepy_a sinner_n but_o why_o do_v he_o knock_v so_o soft_o because_o he_o will_v not_o fright_v you_o christ_n will_v come_v in_o a_o mild_a and_o gentle_a way_n and_o not_o in_o a_o furions_n way_n which_o he_o often_o do_v to_o many_o soul_n who_o have_v long_o keep_v he_o out_o by_o delay_n and_o sin_n but_o chri_v do_v not_o always_o do_v so_o you_o know_v he_o discourse_v and_o reason_v himself_o at_o the_o well_o of_o jacob_n unto_o the_o woman_n of_o samaria_n and_o invite_v himself_o to_o zacheus_n house_n bring_v salvation_n with_o he_o and_o so_o do_v not_o at_o all_o fright_v the_o little_a man_n though_o a_o great_a sinner_n the_o ethiopian_a find_v christ_n in_o his_o chariot_n by_o read_v of_o isaiah_n and_o many_o a_o soul_n do_v the_o like_a by_o a_o good_a book_n read_v in_o a_o private_a way_n where_o christ_n come_v breathe_v life_n and_o peace_n to_o their_o soul_n as_o once_o to_o the_o disciple_n when_o the_o door_n be_v all_o shut_v and_o they_o meet_v in_o a_o room_n where_o christ_n come_v and_o breathe_v the_o holy_a ghost_n on_o they_o but_o three_o why_o do_v christ_n knock_v so_o slow_o that_o you_o may_v consider_v who_o it_o be_v that_o knock_n and_o open_v to_o he_o the_o turtle_n have_v a_o sweet_a and_o penetrate_a voice_n but_o the_o most_o slow_a of_o any_o creature_n you_o seldom_o hear_v she_o often_o at_o one_o time_n but_o she_o call_v her_o mate_n once_o and_o then_o be_v silent_a for_o a_o while_n and_o then_o she_o sweet_o call_v again_o in_o a_o mournful_a way_n even_o to_o the_o pierce_a of_o a_o man_n heart_n as_o it_o be_v with_o her_o sweet_a and_o serious_a yet_o dolorous_a call_n but_o with_o a_o pretty_a distance_n of_o time_n between_o every_o call_n

at_o the_o window_n or_o top_n of_o the_o house_n but_o you_o know_v christ_n love_v to_o come_v in_o at_o the_o door_n of_o consent_n which_o be_v the_o common_a way_n of_o christ_n come_v to_o

and_o wash_v away_o our_o sin_n by_o that_o like_o david_n forsake_v all_o our_o sin_n and_o bring_v our_o whole_a heart_n to_o christ_n and_o deny_v the_o world_n the_o pleasure_n and_o profit_n of_o

common_o call_v conventicle_n heretofore_o but_o i_o have_v in_o these_o meeting_n find_v much_o of_o christ_n and_o comfort_n to_o my_o poor_a soul_n at_o our_o last_o meeting_n i_o think_v there_o be_v some_o twenty_o of_o we_o all_o meet_v in_o a_o friend_n house_n purposely_o to_o discourse_v of_o christ_n and_o wait_v on_o christ_n expect_v all_o comfort_n from_o christ_n and_o whilst_o we_o

and_o sometime_o not_o at_o all_o but_o seem_v to_o be_v angry_a with_o we_o for_o ask_v some_o carnal_a thing_n so_o at_o last_o we_o find_v many_o thing_n christ_n will_v never_o grant_v to_o any_o of_o we_o but_o rather_o seem_v to_o frown_v upon_o we_o for_o ask_v some_o thing_n which_o we_o have_v all_o be_v a_o crave_n of_o he_o so_o at_o that_o time_n we_o consider_v what_o may_v be_v get_v by_o beg_v and_o part_v but_o this_o i_o do_v remember_v a_o scoff_a ishmael_n call_v it_o a_o tub_n preach_v and_o one_o time_n which_o i_o shall_v never_o forget_v i_o be_v walk_v all_o alone_a by_o

that_o any_o soul_n live_v be_v draw_v forth_o to_o desire_n christ_n or_o the_o spirit_n you_o know_v the_o natural_a man_n desire_v not_o the_o thing_n of_o god_n but_o be_v dead_a to_o every_o

habitation_n by_o reason_n of_o absolom_n unnatural_a and_o deceitful_a rebellion_n well_o many_o weep_v for_o this_o good_a man_n danger_n and_o affliction_n and_o so_o do_v he_o for_o he_o go_v from_o jerusalem_n with_o his_o head_n cover_v and_o his_o eye_n weep_v but_o yet_o sweet_o thus_o say_v if_o he_o have_v any_o pleasure_n in_o i_o he_o will_v bring_v i_o back_o again_o otherwise_o lo_o here_o i_o be_o let_v he_o do_v with_o i_o what_o he_o please_v o_o what_o a_o sweet_a and_o saintlike_a spirit_n be_v here_o in_o david_n let_v he_o do_v what_o he_o please_v lo_o here_o be_o i_o to_o submit_v a_o three_o instance_n be_v that_o of_o paul_n who_o make_v this_o his_o desire_n to_o glorify_v christ_n in_o his_o body_n but_o whether_o it_o be_v by_o life_n or_o death_n paul_n care_v not_o so_o christ_n be_v glorify_v i_o can_v instance_n above_o all_o in_o christ_n the_o pattern_n of_o all_o who_o sweet_o say_v thus_o in_o the_o garden_n not_o my_o will_n but_o thou_o be_v do_v but_o i_o shall_v only_o mention_v in_o job_n who_o sweet_a submission_n to_o god_n in_o his_o great_a affliction_n i_o little_o mind_v till_o within_o these_o few_o day_n i_o do_v remember_v scarce_o when_o i_o read_v one_o of_o job_n chapter_n o_o how_o many_o sad_a message_n be_v bring_v to_o he_o not_o in_o one_o week_n after_o another_o like_o i_o but_o in_o one_o day_n do_v his_o sad_a messenger_n come_v tumble_v in_o with_o heavy_a message_n concern_v his_o sheep_n ox_n servant_n son_n and_o daughter_n well_o say_v job_n the_o lord_n give_v and_o take_v and_o bless_v be_v his_o name_n what_o full_a submission_n can_v there_o be_v in_o a_o gracious_a heart_n than_o here_o be_v in_o these_o word_n but_o let_v i_o give_v you_o three_o or_o four_o reason_n why_o a_o gracious_a heart_n shall_v sweet_o submit_v to_o god_n will_v and_o the_o first_o reason_n shall_v be_v this_o the_o holiness_n of_o his_o will_n a_o saint_n see_v in_o the_o will_n of_o god_n a_o holiness_n and_o therefore_o let_v thing_n go_v how_o they_o will_v yet_o thou_o remain_v holy_a o_o thou_o that_o inhabite_a eternity_n paul_n say_v he_o work_v all_o thing_n according_a to_o the_o counsel_n of_o his_o own_o will_n sure_o that_o must_v needs_o be_v holy_a that_o be_v wrought_v according_a to_o the_o will_n and_o counsel_n of_o a_o holy_a god_n a_o second_o reason_n why_o a_o gracious_a heart_n shall_v sweet_o submit_v to_o the_o will_n of_o god_n be_v the_o sovereignty_n of_o god_n will_v above_o the_o creature_n he_o do_v what_o ever_o he_o will_v and_o all_o what_o ever_o he_o will_v and_o therefore_o say_v paul_n who_o have_v resist_v his_o will_n shall_v the_o potsherd_v strive_v with_o the_o potter_n or_o the_o creature_n with_o the_o creator_n no_o nor_o the_o servant_n with_o his_o master_n neither_o much_o less_o a_o gracious_a heart_n with_o his_o god_n and_o maker_n teach_v i_o to_o do_v thy_o will_n o_o god_n say_v david_n and_o every_o gracious_a heart_n too_o it_o be_v our_o prayer_n to_o say_v thy_o will_v be_v do_v and_o it_o will_v be_v our_o perfection_n to_o submit_v a_o three_o reason_n why_o a_o gracious_a heart_n shall_v submit_v to_o god_n will_v be_v the_o goodness_n of_o god_n will_n the_o will_n of_o god_n be_v good_a in_o all_o his_o work_n to_o his_o people_n so_o say_v paul_n all_o thing_n work_v together_o for_o the_o best_a to_o they_o that_o fear_v god_n yea_o those_o working_n of_o god_n will_n which_o most_o cross_a nature_n do_v he_o see_v a_o goodness_n in_o o_o that_o i_o have_v more_o ability_n to_o see_v this_o to_o but_o however_o a_o gracious_a heart_n see_v a_o goodness_n in_o conclusion_n which_o he_o do_v acknowledge_v in_o the_o will_n of_o god_n it_o be_v good_a for_o i_o say_v david_n that_o i_o be_v afflict_v for_o before_o i_o go_v astray_o and_o true_o affliction_n do_v often_o cause_v a_o saint_n to_o look_v to_o his_o way_n which_o he_o be_v too_o apt_a in_o prosperity_n to_o be_v mindless_a of_o let_v we_o search_v and_o try_v our_o way_n say_v the_o church_n in_o affliction_n and_o so_o say_v a_o gracious_a heart_n in_o every_o smart_a affliction_n o_o how_o good_a be_v that_o will_n of_o god_n that_o will_v thy_o affliction_n for_o so_o good_a a_o end_n and_o thus_o you_o see_v three_o reason_n why_o a_o gracious_a heart_n shall_v sweet_o submit_v to_o god_n will_v because_o of_o its_o holiness_n its_o sovereignty_n and_o goodness_n one_o word_n or_o two_o more_o and_o then_o i_o hvae_fw-la do_v first_o then_o labour_n with_o your_o own_o heart_n to_o submit_v to_o god_n will_v for_o in_o every_o submission_n you_o serve_v some_o glorious_a design_n of_o god_n and_o for_o this_o reason_n sake_n labour_v quiet_o to_o submit_v o_o that_o my_o soul_n do_v know_v well_o his_o design_n and_o reason_n why_o he_o have_v deal_v so_o with_o i_o as_o he_o have_v in_o a_o way_n of_o affliction_n my_o affliction_n be_v yet_o like_o the_o black_a side_n of_o a_o cloud_n o_o that_o i_o can_v see_v the_o bright_a side_n the_o glory_n of_o god_n which_o every_o strong_a christian_a see_v and_o by_o see_v quiet_o submit_v 2_o let_v we_o labour_n to_o submit_v our_o will_n to_o god_n for_o conformity_n sake_n and_o here_o let_v weak_a christian_n take_v the_o example_n of_o strong_a and_o they_o the_o example_n of_o christ_n who_o for_o the_o glory_n that_o be_v set_v before_o he_o endure_v the_o cross_n and_o despise_v the_o shame_n three_o let_v we_o submit_v our_o will_n to_o god_n for_o it_o be_v the_o sure_a way_n and_o the_o safe_a first_o it_o be_v the_o sure_a if_o you_o will_v not_o offend_v god_n for_o if_o you_o storm_v you_o sin_n and_o offend_v god_n which_o a_o gracious_a heart_n shall_v be_v careful_a of_o second_o it_o be_v the_o safe_a way_n the_o sturdy_a oak_n resist_v the_o wind_n and_o be_v split_v but_o the_o gentle_a reed_n by_o yield_v stand_v do_v god_n take_v a_o child_n yield_v do_v he_o take_v another_o yield_v do_v he_o take_v all_o yield_v do_v he_o take_v a_o wife_n a_o husband_n yield_v if_o thou_o do_v not_o he_o can_v take_v thy_o soul_n and_o throw_v it_o into_o apprehension_n of_o his_o wrath_n which_o will_v make_v thou_o roar_v as_o if_o thy_o bone_n be_v break_v yea_o all_o thy_o bone_n but_o especial_o yield_v to_o god_n for_o he_o can_v only_o take_v all_o thy_o comfort_n from_o thou_o but_o thy_o very_a soul_n and_o throw_v it_o into_o hell_n too_o o_o my_o friend_n let_v we_o yield_v to_o god_n for_o there_o be_v safety_n in_o it_o i_o have_v hear_v some_o minister_n say_v of_o augustine_n lord_n say_v he_o cut_v i_o hack_v i_o kill_v i_o so_o thou_o save_v my_o soul_n he_o have_v deal_v so_o by_o my_o wife_n she_o have_v have_v cut_v affliction_n two_o or_o three_o day_n travel_v by_o a_o child_n as_o with_o samuel_n which_o some_o of_o you_o my_o friend_n well_o know_v and_o as_o many_o by_o his_o loss_n his_o loss_n and_o the_o rest_n must_v
