every_o act_n sin_n wound_v the_o soul_n it_o will_v sure_o make_v they_o humble_a this_o be_v that_o which_o the_o lord_n complain_v of_o in_o deut._n 32._o to_o 29._o verse_n o_o that_o my_o people_n be_v wise_a that_o they_o verse_n will_v but_o consider_v with_o themselves_o viz._n their_o sin_n their_o affliction_n my_o love_n in_o their_o deliverance_n that_o be_v o_o that_o they_o will_v but_o look_v back_o unto_o the_o former_a account_n and_o see_v what_o they_o have_v do_v for_o my_o love_n it_o will_v cause_v they_o to_o be_v humble_a dolour_n be_v the_o reluctancy_n of_o the_o will_n now_o the_o will_n will_v not_o strive_v till_o there_o be_v a_o change_n wrought_v neither_o will_v a_o man_n be_v humble_v true_o till_o there_o be_v a_o thorough_a change_n in_o the_o soul_n therefore_o labour_n after_o holiness_n and_o get_v both_o a_o sense_n of_o holiness_n and_o a_o sense_n of_o sin_n and_o this_o will_v humble_v you_o the_o three_o mean_n to_o get_v humiliation_n be_v application_n you_o must_v apply_v both_o what_o you_o have_v receive_v mean_n and_o what_o you_o have_v pay_v together_o and_o then_o cast_v up_o the_o account_n first_o consider_v what_o you_o have_v receive_v from_o god_n and_o what_o you_o do_v present_o enjoy_v and_o then_o consider_v what_o have_v i_o pay_v what_o have_v i_o do_v how_o have_v i_o demean_v myself_o what_o obedience_n have_v i_o yield_v what_o thanks_n have_v i_o return_v again_o consider_v the_o excellency_n that_o be_v in_o grace_n and_o then_o consider_v sin_n that_o it_o be_v evil_a by_o nature_n that_o it_o be_v evil_a to_o i_o that_o it_o bring_v forth_o evil_a effect_n except_o you_o thus_o wise_o apply_v it_o it_o will_v not_o humble_v you_o you_o will_v not_o feel_v sin_n or_o esteem_v it_o as_o a_o burden_n because_o you_o will_v not_o see_v it_o out_o of_o its_o place_n it_o will_v be_v as_o a_o heavy_a burden_n at_o the_o foot_n which_o though_o never_o so_o heavy_a yet_o it_o be_v not_o feel_v it_o will_v not_o hurt_v a_o man_n so_o long_o as_o it_o lie_v there_o even_o so_o sin_n will_v not_o be_v a_o burden_n unto_o the_o soul_n till_o it_o be_v apply_v unto_o the_o soul_n by_o the_o spirit_n but_o when_o it_o be_v apply_v than_o it_o will_v be_v like_o a_o burden_n upon_o the_o back_n which_o a_o man_n will_v quick_o be_v weary_a of_o sin_n will_v then_o clog_n a_o regenerate_a soul_n and_o humble_v he_o and_o this_o wisdom_n we_o may_v learn_v of_o the_o devil_n himself_o when_o he_o will_v bring_v a_o man_n unto_o despair_n he_o will_v still_o hold_v out_o before_o a_o man_n his_o sin_n and_o that_o with_o aggravation_n of_o they_o that_o so_o he_o may_v come_v unto_o the_o sight_n of_o they_o and_o then_o he_o will_v hold_v out_o the_o justice_n and_o purity_n of_o god_n that_o he_o will_v not_o let_v sin_n go_v unpunished_a that_o he_o shall_v not_o be_v save_v that_o so_o a_o christian_a may_v be_v out_o of_o measure_n deject_v and_o thus_o a_o christian_a shall_v do_v if_o he_o will_v be_v humble_v let_v he_o still_o set_v sin_n before_o he_o and_o that_o not_o only_o in_o the_o general_a but_o also_o to_o apply_v it_o in_o particular_a unto_o the_o conscience_n and_o especial_o in_o case_n of_o relapse_n for_o as_o figure_n add_v to_o cipher_n do_v make_v the_o total_a the_o more_o so_o relapse_n in_o sin_n be_v a_o great_a sin_n and_o a_o particular_a notice_n of_o they_o will_v cause_v great_a humiliation_n again_o let_v man_n set_v before_o he_o sin_n against_o knowledge_n or_o great_a sin_n and_o this_o will_v be_v a_o mean_n to_o humble_v you_o for_o what_o be_v the_o sin_n against_o the_o holy_a ghost_n but_o sin_v against_o knowledge_n upon_o a_o obstinate_a will_n in_o despite_n of_o god_n and_o the_o spirit_n and_o that_o the_o sin_n of_o knowledge_n be_v a_o great_a sin_n appear_v in_o act_n 17._o 30._o at_o the_o time_n of_o their_o ignorance_n 30._o god_n wink_v that_o be_v so_o long_o as_o you_o want_v the_o mean_n of_o knowledge_n both_o of_o know_v i_o and_o my_o spirit_n i_o little_o regard_v it_o i_o wink_v at_o it_o that_o be_v i_o esteem_v it_o not_o so_o great_a but_o past_o it_o over_o but_o now_o the_o cause_n be_v alter_v since_o i_o come_v in_o my_o own_o person_n and_o preach_v unto_o you_o now_o i_o will_v not_o wink_n at_o your_o sin_n as_o before_o i_o will_v not_o pass_v it_o over_o as_o i_o do_v before_o but_o i_o will_v behold_v you_o in_o another_o manner_n after_o the_o knowledge_n of_o sin_n to_o fall_v into_o it_o and_o then_o not_o to_o be_v humble_v be_v to_o slight_v a_o sin_n and_o to_o slight_v a_o sin_n after_o the_o commit_n of_o it_o ismore_o dangerous_a than_o the_o sin_n itself_o wound_v the_o soul_n more_o provoke_v god_n wrath_n against_o a_o man_n the_o more_o as_o a_o servant_n after_o a_o fault_n commit_v when_o his_o master_n tell_v he_o of_o it_o if_o he_o shall_v then_o slight_v it_o as_o not_o regard_v it_o the_o slight_n of_o it_o incense_v his_o master_n more_o against_o he_o than_o the_o fault_n itself_o therefore_o if_o you_o will_v be_v humble_v apply_v sin_n unto_o the_o soul_n and_o come_v from_o the_o general_a unto_o particular_a sin_n especial_o fasten_v your_o heart_n upon_o great_a sin_n that_o rule_n in_o logic_n hold_v true_a that_o general_n work_v not_o but_o particular_n be_v prevalent_a as_o i_o say_v before_o when_o sin_n lie_v like_o a_o burden_n at_o the_o foot_n it_o hurt_v not_o but_o when_o it_o be_v lay_v upon_o the_o shoulder_n than_o it_o hurt_v save_v knowledge_n break_v the_o heart_n and_o humble_v the_o soul_n on_o the_o contrary_a ignorance_n harden_v more_o and_o more_o this_o we_o see_v in_o joh._n 4._o in_o the_o woman_n of_o canaan_n the_o reason_n wherefore_o she_o receive_v not_o christ_n be_v because_o she_o want_v 4._o knowledge_n to_o know_v she_o own_o estate_n general_a conference_n and_o exhortation_n to_o receive_v christ_n will_v not_o serve_v till_o christ_n come_v in_o particular_a unto_o she_o and_o tell_v she_o in_o plain_a word_n that_o she_o be_v a_o harlot_n until_o then_o she_o little_o regard_v he_o than_o she_o can_v bestir_v herself_o than_o she_o can_v confess_v and_o be_v humble_v and_o thus_o he_o deal_v with_o paul_n in_o this_o place_n paul_n why_o persecute_v thou_o i_o and_o thus_o he_o 4._o deal_v with_o adam_n what_o have_v thou_o do_v have_v thou_o 11._o eat_v &_o c_o thus_o he_o deal_v with_o peter_n john_n 21._o 15._o etc._n etc._n love_v thou_o i_o feed_v feed_v feed_v &c_n &c_n the_o remembrance_n of_o particular_a sin_n wrought_v a_o general_a 15._o change_n in_o they_o and_o mighty_o humble_v they_o therefore_o if_o you_o will_v be_v humble_v apply_v particular_a fail_n and_o exclude_v none_o and_o god_n will_v not_o exclude_v thou_o you_o know_v that_o which_o will_v take_v a_o great_a stain_n out_o of_o a_o garment_n will_v sure_o take_v out_o a_o lesser_a even_o so_o fear_v not_o but_o if_o god_n have_v give_v thou_o a_o heart_n to_o see_v some_o great_a sin_n and_o the_o assurance_n of_o the_o pardon_n of_o that_o sin_n he_o will_v forgive_v thou_o all_o sin_n thus_o much_o for_o the_o three_o mean_n the_o four_o mean_n to_o get_v humiliation_n be_v this_o mean_n we_o must_v labour_v to_o bring_v thing_n unto_o a_o propinquity_n that_o be_v let_v we_o look_v upon_o sin_n past_a as_o present_v and_o so_o near_o at_o hand_n for_o this_o be_v our_o folly_n we_o look_v upon_o sin_n great_a way_n off_o and_o that_o be_v the_o reason_n that_o sin_n be_v so_o little_o regard_v of_o we_o because_o we_o can_v as_o we_o may_v see_v how_o odious_a it_o be_v the_o philosopher_n say_v that_o thing_n a_o great_a way_n off_o be_v as_o if_o they_o be_v not_o they_o do_v not_o hurt_v we_o and_o this_o be_v the_o cause_n why_o man_n be_v not_o humble_v experience_n prove_v this_o you_o know_v death_n be_v the_o terrible_a thing_n in_o the_o world_n but_o yet_o because_o we_o look_v upon_o it_o a_o far_o off_o therefore_o it_o be_v that_o it_o do_v not_o affright_v we_o now_o to_o help_v you_o to_o bring_v thing_n to_o a_o propinquity_n that_o you_o may_v be_v humble_v you_o must_v observe_v these_o two_o rule_n first_o i_o say_v you_o must_v look_v upon_o thing_n that_o 1._o be_v past_a as_o present_v consider_v that_o the_o sin_n that_o be_v pass_v be_v as_o great_a a_o sin_n as_o ever_o it_o be_v though_o it_o seem_v afar_o off_o that_o be_v commit_v long_o ago_o it_o be_v man_n weakness_n to_o think_v otherwise_o of_o sin_n a_o malefactor_n that_o have_v commit_v a_o foul_a fact_n a_o long_a while_n ago_o if_o his_o pardon_n be_v
more_o even_o as_o water_n harden_v iron_n when_o it_o be_v hot_a but_o this_o godly_a sorrow_n work_v other_o effect_n therefore_o the_o apostle_n say_v i_o be_v glad_a that_o you_o be_v sorrowful_a because_o it_o wrought_v repentance_n in_o you_o that_o be_v it_o change_v your_o heart_n so_o much_o for_o this_o question_n the_o four_o question_n be_v this_o whether_o there_o be_v any_o difference_n between_o the_o godly_a sorrow_n and_o quest._n that_o which_o be_v false_a to_o this_o i_o answer_v that_o they_o differ_v in_o three_o thing_n especial_o 1._o in_o the_o object_n  _fw-fr 2._o in_o the_o cause_n answ._n  _fw-fr 3_o in_o the_o effect_n the_o first_o difference_n be_v in_o the_o object_n the_o object_n of_o worldly_a sorrow_n be_v the_o punishment_n of_o sin_n 1._o the_o wrath_n of_o god_n he_o look_v upon_o these_o without_o any_o relation_n to_o christ_n but_o the_o object_n of_o godly_a sorrow_n be_v sin_n as_o it_o stand_v in_o opposition_n with_o the_o love_n of_o god_n towards_o he_o in_o christ_n and_o howsoever_o a_o regenerate_a man_n look_v upon_o the_o punishment_n yet_o in_o a_o different_a degree_n not_o so_o much_o because_o he_o fear_v punishment_n as_o that_o he_o shall_v give_v his_o father_n such_o cause_n to_o take_v such_o displeasure_n against_o he_o but_o it_o be_v sin_n that_o he_o principal_o look_v upon_o viz._n that_o he_o have_v displease_v so_o good_a so_o gracious_a a_o father_n as_o god_n have_v be_v unto_o he_o and_o this_o be_v that_o which_o work_v humiliation_n in_o he_o but_o the_o other_o see_v the_o wrath_n of_o god_n and_o hell_n death_n and_o that_o final_a separation_n between_o he_o and_o happiness_n and_o hereupon_o for_o fear_v of_o punishment_n he_o be_v humble_v thus_o you_o see_v the_o difference_n in_o the_o object_n the_o second_o difference_n be_v in_o the_o cause_n the_o cause_n of_o the_o worldly_a sorrow_n be_v either_o some_o judgement_n 2._o present_a either_o upon_o his_o person_n or_o in_o his_o substance_n or_o in_o his_o family_n or_o else_o it_o be_v some_o judgement_n that_o he_o fear_v god_n will_v inflict_v upon_o he_o hereafter_o either_o in_o his_o riches_n or_o in_o his_o credit_n and_o reputation_n among_o man_n and_o therefore_o for_o fear_v of_o these_o he_o be_v humble_v but_o the_o cause_n of_o godly_a sorrow_n be_v the_o apprehension_n of_o sin_n as_o it_o be_v contrary_a unto_o the_o nature_n purity_n and_o perfection_n of_o god_n as_o also_o of_o god_n love_n towards_o a_o man_n he_o have_v a_o eye_n give_v he_o whereby_o he_o see_v into_o the_o riches_n of_o god_n love_n unto_o he_o and_o then_o reflect_v upon_o himself_o and_o see_v his_o carriage_n towards_o god_n for_o such_o mercy_n and_o find_v no_o proportion_n between_o they_o hence_o grow_v his_o sorrow_n that_o he_o shall_v thus_o requite_v god_n with_o sin_n for_o mercy_n the_o three_o difference_n be_v in_o the_o effect_n for_o as_o they_o 3._o do_v proceed_v not_o from_o one_o and_o the_o same_o ground_n so_o they_o bring_v not_o forth_o the_o same_o but_o contrary_a effect_n and_o they_o be_v three_o fold_n first_o worldly_a sorrow_n it_o draw_v the_o affection_n of_o the_o heart_n from_o god_n because_o they_o see_v he_o as_o a_o judge_n they_o can_v love_v he_o as_o a_o father_n he_o take_v god_n to_o be_v his_o enemy_n and_o therefore_o do_v what_o he_o can_v to_o fly_v from_o he_o because_o he_o expect_v no_o good_a from_o he_o this_o we_o see_v as_o before_o in_o adam_n cain_n and_o judas_n but_o the_o godly_a sorrow_n it_o make_v a_o man_n cleave_v fast_o unto_o christ_n to_o stick_v fast_o unto_o grace_n it_o whet_v the_o affection_n to_o love_n christ_n to_o prize_n christ_n more_o it_o work_v a_o willing_a readiness_n in_o the_o soul_n to_o obey_v it_o put_v by_o that_o which_o will_v make_v he_o fly_v from_o christ_n second_o worldly_a sorrow_n it_o hurt_v the_o body_n it_o breed_v disease_n it_o waste_v and_o consume_v the_o entrail_n breed_v and_o bring_v consumption_n of_o the_o body_n it_o dull_v and_o make_v dead_a the_o soul_n it_o take_v away_o the_o relish_n of_o spiritual_a thing_n it_o make_v a_o man_n careless_a to_o good_a it_o daule_v and_o make_v a_o man_n unwilling_a unto_o any_o good_a but_o the_o godly_a sorrow_n it_o be_v the_o life_n of_o the_o soul_n it_o be_v the_o health_n of_o the_o body_n it_o quicken_v the_o soul_n of_o man_n unto_o good_a it_o put_v a_o new_a life_n into_o it_o it_o work_v a_o readiness_n in_o the_o will_n and_o love_n in_o the_o affection_n to_o christ_n grace_n and_o holiness_n three_o worldly_a sorrow_n it_o make_v a_o man_n of_o a_o hot_a and_o a_o fiery_a spirit_n it_o stir_v he_o up_o after_o evil_a to_o reproach_n and_o disgrace_v his_o neighbour_n it_o fill_v he_o full_a of_o hatred_n revenge_n and_o envy_v but_o godly_a sorrow_n it_o breed_v another_o kind_n of_o spirit_n in_o he_o it_o make_v he_o of_o a_o meek_a and_o a_o quiet_a spirit_n worldly_a sorrow_n will_v not_o put_v up_o reproach_n disgrace_n and_o wrong_v but_o this_o will_v put_v up_o all_o injury_n and_o wrong_n and_o whatsoever_o else_o he_o meet_v withal_o for_o christ_n thus_o you_o see_v the_o difference_n between_o these_o the_o five_o question_n be_v this_o how_o shall_v i_o know_v quest._n whether_o my_o sorrow_n be_v a_o godly_a sorrow_n or_o no._n to_o this_o i_o answer_v you_o shall_v know_v it_o by_o these_o three_o thing_n 1._o by_o the_o ingredient_n answ._n  _fw-fr 2._o by_o the_o continuance_n  _fw-fr 3_o by_o the_o event_n first_o i_o say_v you_o shall_v know_v it_o by_o the_o ingredient_n for_o first_o they_o have_v not_o only_o the_o sense_n of_o 1._o punishment_n which_o be_v common_a unto_o the_o worldly_a sorrow_n for_o i_o say_v howsoever_o it_o be_v the_o property_n of_o worldly_a sorrow_n to_o apprehend_v punishment_n yet_o it_o be_v likewise_o require_v of_o godly_a sorrow_n to_o be_v sensible_a of_o punishment_n but_o there_o be_v another_o light_n put_v into_o he_o whereby_o he_o see_v into_o the_o uncleanness_n of_o sin_n he_o see_v sin_n in_o its_o own_o dye_n not_o only_a sin_n to_o be_v sin_n but_o sin_n to_o be_v vile_a and_o hereupon_o he_o will_v not_o content_v himself_o with_o mercy_n unless_o he_o may_v have_v grace_n but_o the_o other_o care_v not_o if_o he_o may_v be_v free_a from_o punishment_n whether_o he_o have_v strength_n against_o corruption_n or_o no._n second_o you_o shall_v know_v it_o by_o the_o continuance_n 2._o of_o it_o godly_a sorrow_n be_v constant_a but_o worldly_a sorrow_n be_v but_o a_o passion_n of_o the_o mind_n it_o change_v it_o last_v not_o though_o for_o the_o present_a it_o may_v be_v violent_a and_o strong_a and_o work_n much_o outward_o yet_o it_o come_v but_o by_o fit_n and_o continue_v not_o like_o a_o land_n flood_n which_o violent_o for_o the_o present_a overflows_a the_o bank_n but_o it_o will_v away_o again_o it_o be_v not_o always_o thus_o but_o the_o godly_a sorrow_n be_v like_o a_o spring_n that_o still_o keep_v his_o run_n it_o be_v not_o dry_v up_o but_o run_v still_o it_o be_v not_o so_o violent_a as_o the_o other_o but_o it_o be_v more_o sure_a you_o shall_v have_v it_o still_o run_v both_o winter_n and_o summer_n wet_a and_o dry_a in_o hot_a and_o cold_a early_o and_o late_o so_o this_o godly_a sorrow_n be_v the_o same_o in_o a_o regenerate_a man_n still_o take_v he_o when_o you_o will_v he_o be_v still_o sorrow_v for_o sin_n this_o godly_a sorrow_n it_o stand_v like_o the_o centre_n of_o the_o earth_n which_o remove_v not_o but_o still_o remain_v three_o you_o shall_v know_v it_o by_o the_o success_n and_o 3._o event_n of_o it_o it_o will_v turn_v the_o heart_n unto_o christ_n it_o will_v make_v the_o heart_n stand_v more_o firm_a in_o grace_n it_o will_v turn_v the_o whole_a frame_n of_o the_o soul_n unto_o god_n like_o the_o loadstone_n that_o will_v not_o rest_v till_o it_o have_v touch_v the_o iron_n or_o as_o the_o needle_n touch_v will_v not_o stand_v till_o it_o touch_v the_o north-pole_n so_o it_o be_v with_o this_o godly_a sorrow_n when_o a_o man_n have_v receive_v but_o a_o touch_n of_o the_o spirit_n he_o will_v never_o rest_v till_o he_o have_v touch_v christ_n till_o he_o be_v at_o peace_n with_o he_o nothing_o will_v satisfy_v he_o till_o christ_n come_v into_o the_o soul_n till_o christ_n be_v his_o nothing_o will_v make_v he_o to_o remove_v that_o confidence_n and_o trust_v that_o he_o have_v in_o christ_n all_o thing_n shall_v go_v for_o christ._n but_o the_o worldly_a sorrow_n have_v another_o success_n namely_o to_o fly_v fast_o away_o from_o god_n as_o i_o have_v show_v in_o judas_n and_o caine._n and_o thus_o much_o for_o this_o question_n the_o six_o question_n

how_o they_o may_v have_v store_v themselves_o with_o grace_n and_o make_v their_o peace_n with_o he_o and_o then_o how_o many_o sin_n they_o have_v commit_v time_n after_o time_n and_o then_o what_o
