without_o any_o mixture_n of_o sin_n i_o may_v have_v hope_v for_o entire_a health_n but_o since_o i_o have_v intersperse_v my_o obedience_n with_o many_o sinful_a fayling_n and_o enormity_n why_o do_v i_o think_v much_o to_o interchange_v health_n with_o sickness_n what_o i_o now_o feel_v i_o know_v i_o be_o not_o worthy_a to_o know_v what_o i_o must_v feel_v as_o my_o time_n so_o my_o

just_a the_o most_o that_o i_o be_o capable_a to_o endure_v be_v the_o least_o part_n of_o what_o i_o have_v deserve_v to_o suffer_v nature_n will_v sayne_o be_v at_o ease_n but_o lord_n what_o ever_o become_v of_o this_o carcase_n thou_o have_v reason_n to_o have_v respect_n to_o thy_o own_o glory_n i_o have_v sin_v and_o must_v smart_v it_o be_v the_o glory_n of_o thy_o mercy_n to_o beat_v my_o body_n for_o the_o safety_n of_o my_o soul_n the_o worst_a of_o sickness_n be_v pain_n and_o the_o worst_a of_o pain_n be_v but_o death_n as_o for_o pain_n if_o it_o be_v extreme_a it_o can_v be_v

his_o master_n when_o i_o have_v promise_v i_o be_o indebt_v and_o debt_n may_v be_v claim_v must_v be_v pay_v but_o yet_o there_o be_v a_o great_a deal_n of_o difference_n in_o our_o engagement_n some_o thing_n we_o promise_v because_o they_o be_v due_a some_o thing_n be_v only_o due_a because_o they_o be_v promise_v these_o latter_a which_o be_v but_o the_o mere_a engagement_n of_o courtesy_n

i_o promise_v to_o send_v a_o fair_a sword_n to_o my_o friend_n he_o be_v since_o that_o time_n turn_v frantic_a must_v i_o send_v it_o or_o be_v charge_v with_o unfaithfulnesse_n if_o i_o send_v it_o

why_o may_v they_o not_o expostulate_v with_o their_o maker_n why_o they_o be_v but_o such_o why_o they_o live_v to_o so_o little_a purpose_n and_o die_v without_o either_o notice_n or_o use_n and_o if_o i_o have_v no_o more_o reason_n than_o they_o i_o shall_v be_v as_o they_o content_a with_o any_o condition_n that_o reason_n which_o i_o have_v be_v not_o of_o my_o own_o give_v he_o that_o

a_o fantastical_a zealot_n it_o be_v not_o the_o intent_n of_o grace_n to_o mould_n our_o body_n anew_o but_o to_o make_v use_n of_o they_o as_o it_o find_v we_o the_o disposition_n of_o man_n much_o follow_v the_o temper_n of_o their_o bodily_a humour_n this_o mixture_n of_o humour_n wrought_v upon_o by_o grace_n cause_v that_o strange_a variety_n which_o we_o see_v in_o profession_n pretend_o religious_a when_o grace_n light_v upon_o a_o sad_a melancholic_a spirit_n nothing_o be_v affect_v but_o sullenness_n and_o extreme_a mortification_n and_o dislike_v even_o of_o lawful_a freedom_n nothing_o but_o position_n and_o practice_n of_o severe_a austerity_n when_o contrary_o upon_o the_o cheerful_a and_o lively_a all_o draw_v towards_o liberty_n and_o joy_n those_o thought_n do_v now_o please_v best_a which_o enlarge_v the_o heart_n to_o mirth_n and_o contentation_n it_o be_v the_o great_a improvement_n of_o christian_a wisdom_n to_o distinguish_v in_o all_o profession_n betwixt_o grace_n and_o humour_n to_o give_v god_n his_o own_o glory_n and_o man_n their_o own_o infirmity_n ciii_o upon_o the_o sight_n of_o a_o scavenger_n work_v in_o the_o channel_n the_o wise_a providence_n of_o god_n have_v fit_v man_n with_o spirit_n answerable_a to_o their_o condition_n if_o mean_a man_n shall_v bear_v the_o mind_n of_o great_a lord_n no_o servile_a work_n will_v be_v

there_o shall_v be_v none_o to_o command_v now_o out_o of_o this_o discord_n of_o disposition_n god_n have_v contrive_v a_o excellent_a harmony_n of_o government_n and_o peace_n since_o the_o use_n which_o each_o sort_n must_v needs_o have_v of_o other_o bind_v they_o to_o maintain_v the_o quality_n of_o their_o own_o rank_n and_o to_o do_v those_o office_n which_o be_v requisite_a for_o the_o preservation_n of_o themselves_o and_o the_o public_a as_o inferior_n then_o must_v bless_v god_n for_o the_o grace_n and_o authority_n of_o their_o better_n so_o must_v superior_n no_o less_o bless_v he_o for_o the_o humility_n and_o serviceablenesse_n of_o the_o mean_a and_o those_o which_o be_v of_o the_o midrank_a must_v bless_v he_o for_o both_o ciiii_o upon_o a_o pair_n of_o spectacle_n i_o

other_o thing_n which_o i_o desire_v to_o see_v many_o such_o glass_n my_o soul_n have_v and_o use_v i_o look_v through_o the_o glass_n of_o the_o creature_n at_o the_o power_n and_o wisdom_n of_o their_o maker_n i_o look_v through_o the_o glass_n of_o the_o scripture_n at_o the_o great_a mystery_n of_o redemption_n and_o the_o glory_n of_o a_o heavenly_a inheritance_n i_o look_v through_o god_n favour_n at_o his_o infinite_a mercy_n through_o his_o judgement_n at_o his_o incomprehensible_a justice_n but_o as_o these_o spectacle_n of_o i_o presuppose_v a_o faculty_n in_o the_o eye_n and_o can_v give_v i_o sight_n when_o i_o want_v it_o but_o only_o clear_v that_o sight_n which_o i_o have_v no_o more_o can_v these_o glass_n of_o the_o creature_n of_o scripture_n of_o favour_n and_o judgement_n enable_v i_o to_o apprehend_v those_o bless_a object_n except_o i_o have_v a_o eye_n of_o faith_n whereto_o they_o may_v be_v present_v these_o help_n to_o a_o unbelieved_a man_n
