willing_a to_o deny_v his_o reason_n in_o matter_n of_o faith_n and_o there_o be_v a_o great_a deal_n in_o this_o and_o a_o special_a ground_n why_o the_o lord_n batter_v the_o heart_n of_o sinner_n many_o time_n it_o be_v to_o bring_v they_o down_o to_o deny_v their_o own_o reason_n so_o i_o remember_v luther_n have_v a_o speech_n concern_v reason_n in_o matter_n of_o faith_n reason_v it_o be_v a_o most_o bitter_a enemy_n to_o god_n and_o of_o faith_n he_o mean_v unsanctified_a reason_n now_o a_o humble_a heart_n can_v deny_v its_o own_o reason_n yea_o second_o he_o be_v much_o in_o denial_n of_o his_o own_o will_n though_o my_o will_n be_v set_v strong_a to_o have_v such_o and_o such_o a_o thing_n yet_o what_o great_a matter_n be_v it_o say_v a_o lowly_a heart_n for_o the_o will_n of_o

will_n cross_v but_o now_o when_o we_o can_v get_v that_o power_n over_o ourselves_o as_o to_o be_v willing_a to_o deny_v our_o own_o will_n than_o our_o heart_n be_v indeed_o break_v and_o we_o be_v

know_v when_o you_o be_v humble_a enough_o if_o you_o find_v this_o that_o whereas_o before_o you_o think_v it_o very_o much_o to_o have_v your_o will_n cross_v you_o find_v now_o that_o it_o be_v a_o

whatever_o my_o end_n be_v wont_a to_o be_v what_o plotting_n contriving_n what_o design_n i_o be_v wont_a to_o aim_v at_o now_o i_o find_v i_o can_v deny_v they_o i_o can_v renounce_v my_o own_o

it_o be_v not_o fit_a i_o shall_v look_v after_o myself_o such_o a_o wretched_a creature_n as_o i_o be_o that_o may_v have_v be_v in_o hell_n long_o ago_o it_o be_v not_o so_o much_o for_o i_o to_o

the_o infinite_a god_n when_o other_o of_o god_n people_n be_v assemble_v to_o pray_v and_o hear_v the_o word_n you_o may_v have_v be_v roar_v under_o the_o wrath_n of_o god_n in_o those_o

you_o fit_a in_o your_o house_n with_o your_o wife_n and_o child_n about_o you_o consider_v what_o you_o may_v have_v be_v i_o that_o sit_v here_o and_o have_v the_o day_n of_o grace_n continue_v to_o i_o may_v have_v be_v in_o the_o bottomless_a gulf_n i_o may_v have_v be_v curse_v and_o blaspheme_v god_n you_o that_o god_n have_v wrought_v something_o upon_o you_o desire_v to_o fear_v he_o and_o you_o come_v to_o worship_v he_o and_o have_v some_o delight_n to_o worship_v he_o if_o god_n have_v leave_v you_o to_o yourself_o you_o may_v have_v go_v curse_v and_o swear_v and_o blaspheme_v &_o commit_v any_o vileness_n that_o any_o the_o most_o vile_a have_v commit_v it_o may_v god_n have_v enlarge_v your_o heart_n in_o prayer_n i_o but_o if_o god_n have_v leave_v you_o to_o yourself_o instead_o of_o be_v enlarge_v in_o prayer_n you_o may_v have_v be_v curse_v and_o blaspheme_v god_n now_o this_o be_v a_o mighty_a mean_n to_o humble_v your_o heart_n beside_o what_o you_o may_v have_v be_v in_o regard_n of_o poverty_n in_o regard_n of_o pain_n and_o sickness_n you_o now_o be_v comfortable_a in_o your_o house_n and_o sit_v with_o wife_n and_o child_n and_o delight_v one_o in_o another_o you_o may_v have_v be_v in_o extremity_n of_o torment_n and_o pain_n you_o may_v have_v lose_v your_o sense_n and_o lose_v your_o limb_n and_o a_o hundred_o such_o thing_n may_v be_v name_v that_o if_o you_o will_v give_v your_o meditation_n out_o upon_o these_o thing_n you_o may_v find_v enough_o to_o keep_v your_o heart_n low_a before_o god_n three_o and_o the_o three_o head_n be_v this_o if_o god_n have_v make_v any_o change_n in_o your_o state_n what_o a_o trouble_n it_o put_v heaven_n and_o earth_n unto_o that_o the_o son_n of_o god_n must_v take_v your_o nature_n upon_o he_o and_o die_v and_o be_v make_v a_o curse_n to_o deliver_v you_o from_o that_o condition_n now_o this_o be_v a_o mighty_a humble_v consideration_n for_o if_o a_o man_n or_o woman_n have_v do_v any_o such_o thing_n as_o deserve_v punishment_n though_o they_o be_v deliver_v yet_o if_o they_o know_v that_o the_o deliverance_n cost_v abundance_n of_o trouble_n for_o a_o child_n to_o think_v
