leave_n here_o apprehend_v it_o a_o seasonable_a place_n to_o bring_v it_o in_o to_o speak_v something_o to_o one_o scruple_n of_o conscience_n which_o do_v often_o perplex_v many_o a_o good_a christian_a and_o that_o be_v want_v of_o feel_v of_o god_n love_n etc._n etc._n ah_o say_v many_o a_o poor_a soul_n do_v i_o but_o indeed_o know_v that_o god_n and_o christ_n be_v my_o redeemer_n

this_o make_v a_o christian_a think_v that_o it_o neither_o do_v nor_o may_v believe_v now_o there_o be_v a_o double_a feel_n for_o the_o want_n of_o which_o many_o good_a soul_n often_o complain_v and_o upon_o the_o want_n of_o which_o they_o raise_v to_o themselves_o conclusion_n against_o believe_v for_o want_v of_o a_o distinction_n i_o will_v presume_v for_o once_o to_o coin_v one_o there_o be_v a_o feel_n of_o peace_n and_o a_o feel_n of_o strength_n 1._o the_o feel_n of_o peace_n be_v when_o a_o poor_a christian_a apprehend_v god_n appease_v to_o its_o soul_n and_o feel_v he_o say_v i_o be_o thy_o god_n the_o god_n of_o thy_o salvation_n this_o be_v that_o persuasion_n which_o be_v that_o high_a reflex_n act_n of_o faith_n of_o which_o i_o speak_v the_o last_o time_n and_o show_v you_o what_o degree_n and_o abatement_n it_o may_v meet_v with_o in_o a_o true_a believer_n now_o this_o a_o true_a christian_a may_v want_v though_o he_o do_v feel_v god_n spirit_n carry_v he_o on_o to_o act_n of_o mortification_n and_o vivification_n etc._n etc._n of_o this_o i_o shall_v not_o speak_v have_v speak_v the_o last_o time_n how_o far_o it_o may_v be_v want_v weaken_a or_o abate_v or_o discontinue_v even_o in_o god_n true_a and_o dear_a child_n 2._o but_o there_o be_v another_o feel_n which_o for_o distinction_n sake_n i_o call_v a_o feel_n of_o strength_n when_o a_o christian_a though_o he_o do_v not_o feel_v god_n peace_n seal_v up_o and_o assure_v unto_o his_o soul_n yet_o he_o can_v deny_v but_o he_o feel_v his_o soul_n carry_v out_o by_o god_n unto_o duty_n to_o love_v he_o to_o desire_v he_o to_o delight_v in_o he_o etc._n etc._n now_o this_o latter_a feel_n ought_v to_o satisfy_v the_o soul_n when_o though_o god_n do_v not_o please_v as_o yet_o to_o apply_v the_o promise_n to_o his_o soul_n yet_o he_o feel_v god_n enable_v he_o to_o apply_v himself_o to_o the_o promise_n when_o he_o feel_v god_n change_v and_o renew_v his_o heart_n and_o affection_n etc._n etc._n but_o here_o be_v that_o which_o many_o poor_a christian_n want_v and_o complain_v for_o the_o want_n of_o they_o will_v confess_v that_o can_v they_o but_o feel_v god_n strengthen_v they_o against_o their_o corruption_n and_o carry_v out_o their_o heart_n in_o act_n of_o love_n and_o desire_v towards_o he_o &c_n &c_n they_o will_v quiet_v themselves_o and_o be_v very_o thankful_a to_o he_o if_o he_o will_v but_o give_v they_o so_o much_o of_o the_o morsel_n of_o freegrace_n as_o will_v keep_v spiritual_a life_n in_o they_o and_o keep_v their_o heart_n from_o die_v for_o want_n of_o mouth-fuls_a although_o god_n will_v not_o yet_o please_v to_o let_v they_o sit_v down_o at_o the_o banquet_a table_n of_o assurance_n and_o eat_v of_o the_o sweet_a meat_n of_o that_o peace_n which_o pass_v all_o understanding_n if_o god_n will_v please_v to_o give_v they_o but_o such_o sip_v of_o his_o flagon_n as_o may_v stay_v they_o though_o they_o want_v such_o dish_n of_o apple_n as_o to_o comfort_v they_o it_o will_v suffice_v but_o alas_o this_o they_o want_v and_o how_o can_v they_o believe_v etc._n etc._n now_o all_o that_o i_o shall_v speak_v to_o a_o christian_a in_o this_o perplexity_n i_o will_v reduce_v to_o these_o two_o head_n 1._o something_o by_o way_n of_o consolation_n and_o 2._o something_o by_o way_n of_o direction_n first_o by_o way_n of_o consolation_n i_o shall_v propound_v these_o few_o thing_n as_o consideration_n which_o may_v tend_v through_o the_o blessing_n of_o god_n to_o the_o comfort_v of_o such_o soul_n in_o such_o
