christ_n rom._n 8._o 35._o and_o thus_o much_o of_o the_o first_o particular_a distress_n of_o mind_n the_o second_o kind_n of_o affliction_n be_v bodily_a &_o temporary_a death_n which_o consist_v in_o the_o separation_n of_o the_o soul_n from_o the_o body_n and_o touch_v this_o affliction_n it_o be_v demand_v how_o any_o servant_n of_o god_n may_v be_v able_a to_o endure_v with_o comfort_n the_o pang_n of_o death_n for_o the_o answer_n hereof_o two_o thing_n be_v require_v a_o preparation_n to_o death_n and_o help_n in_o the_o time_n of_o death_n concern_v preparation_n there_o be_v three_o duty_n to_o be_v perform_v the_o first_o and_o most_o principal_a be_v commend_v unto_o we_o in_o the_o book_n of_o psalm_n where_o david_n pray_v unto_o god_n lord_n make_v i_o to_o know_v my_o 4._o end_n and_o the_o measure_n of_o my_o day_n and_o moses_n in_o like_a manner_n lord_n teach_v i_o to_o number_v my_o day_n 12._o that_o i_o may_v apply_v my_o heart_n unto_o wisdom_n in_o which_o place_n be_v remember_v a_o notable_o duty_n of_o preparation_n to_o wit_n that_o a_o man_n shall_v resolve_v himself_o of_o death_n continual_o and_o aforehand_o number_v his_o day_n and_o this_o be_v do_v by_o esteem_v of_o every_o day_n as_o the_o day_n of_o his_o death_n and_o according_o do_v always_o that_o which_o he_o will_v do_v if_o he_o be_v now_o to_o give_v up_o the_o ghost_n second_o in_o way_n of_o preparation_n we_o must_v endeavour_n to_o disarm_v and_o weaken_v death_n who_o be_v as_o a_o arm_a man_n that_o have_v his_o weapon_n whereby_o he_o seek_v to_o destroy_v us._n and_o in_o this_o case_n we_o must_v deal_v with_o death_n as_o the_o philistines_n deal_v with_o samson_n they_o see_v by_o experience_n that_o he_o be_v a_o mighty_a man_n and_o by_o his_o power_n and_o strength_n have_v give_v they_o many_o foil_n and_o therefore_o they_o labour_v to_o know_v in_o what_o part_n of_o his_o body_n his_o strength_n do_v lie_v and_o after_o inquiry_n find_v it_o to_o be_v in_o the_o hair_n of_o his_o head_n they_o never_o rest_v till_o they_o have_v spoil_v he_o thereof_o and_o questionless_a the_o time_n will_v come_v when_o we_o all_o must_v encounter_v with_o this_o strong_a and_o powerful_a samson_n death_n in_o the_o mean_a while_n it_o be_v a_o point_n of_o wisdom_n 15._o to_o inquire_v wherein_o his_o power_n &_o might_n consist_v when_o this_o search_n have_v be_v make_v we_o shall_v find_v that_o his_o weapon_n be_v our_o manifold_a sin_n and_o corruption_n both_o of_o heart_n and_o life_n for_o as_o paul_n say_v the_o sting_n of_o death_n be_v sin_n therefore_o that_o we_o may_v spoil_v he_o of_o this_o his_o furniture_n we_o must_v exercise_v ourselves_o in_o the_o practice_n of_o two_o duty_n first_o use_v all_o mean_n for_o the_o cut_n off_o of_o the_o lock_n of_o our_o sin_n whereby_o alone_a satan_n have_v the_o vantage_n of_o we_o and_o these_o mean_n be_v the_o duty_n of_o invocation_n and_o true_a repentance_n we_o must_v therefore_o be_v instant_a in_o prayer_n for_o the_o pardon_n of_o our_o sin_n past_a and_o present_a and_o in_o this_o point_n give_v the_o lord_n no_o rest_n until_o we_o have_v obtain_v in_o our_o conscience_n the_o sweet_a certificate_n of_o his_o favour_n and_o mercy_n in_o christ_n whereby_o our_o mind_n may_v be_v stay_v and_o comfort_v this_o do_v it_o stand_v we_o in_o hand_n to_o turn_v unto_o god_n to_o be_v careful_a to_o leave_v sin_n to_o entertain_v in_o our_o heart_n a_o resolve_a purpose_n and_o intention_n of_o new_a obedience_n and_o conformity_n to_o the_o will_n and_o commandment_n of_o god_n in_o all_o thing_n and_o this_o be_v the_o only_a way_n in_o the_o world_n to_o bereave_v this_o our_o enemy_n of_o his_o armour_n to_o pull_v the_o sting_n out_o of_o the_o mouth_n of_o this_o serpent_n and_o consequent_o even_o in_o death_n to_o prevail_v against_o he_o three_o in_o way_n of_o preparation_n our_o duty_n be_v even_o aforehand_o while_o we_o live_v in_o this_o world_n to_o endeavour_n to_o have_v some_o true_a taste_n of_o life_n everlasting_a and_o the_o joy_n of_o heaven_n the_o due_a consideration_n whereof_o will_v be_v of_o great_a use_n for_o it_o will_v stir_v up_o in_o our_o heart_n a_o desire_n and_o love_n of_o perfect_a happiness_n in_o heaven_n yea_o a_o fervent_a expectation_n of_o christ_n come_v to_o judgement_n and_o it_o will_v further_o cause_v we_o to_o say_v with_o simeon_n lord_n now_o let_v thy_o servant_n depart_v in_o peace_n and_o with_o the_o apostle_n i_o desire_v to_o be_v dissolve_v and_o be_v with_o christ._n touch_v this_o spiritual_a joy_n and_o comfort_n in_o the_o holy_a ghost_n these_o question_n of_o conscience_n be_v move_v first_o how_o may_v we_o in_o this_o life_n have_v and_o nourish_v in_o our_o heart_n a_o true_a taste_n of_o eternal_a happiness_n and_o of_o the_o joy_n of_o the_o world_n to_o come_v ans._n first_o by_o a_o serious_a consideration_n of_o the_o evil_n that_o do_v hinder_v or_o prejudice_n our_o happiness_n and_o they_o be_v principal_o four_o one_o be_v the_o misery_n of_o our_o life_n in_o respect_n of_o sin_n and_o the_o consequen●s_v thereof_o for_o there_o be_v no_o man_n in_o the_o world_n be_v he_o never_o so_o righteous_a that_o can_v true_o say_v of_o himself_o i_o be_o clean_a from_o my_o sin_n prou._n 20._o 9_o yea_o even_o the_o regenerate_a that_o have_v receive_v grace_n to_o believe_v to_o turn_n unto_o god_n and_o to_o live_v according_a to_o the_o spirit_n do_v find_v by_o experience_n corruption_n and_o rebellion_n in_o &c_n their_o mind_n will_n and_o affection_n which_o daily_o afford_v matter_n of_o sin_v against_o god_n and_o on_o the_o other_o side_n hinder_v and_o quench_v all_o the_o good_a motion_n of_o the_o spirit_n that_o be_v in_o they_o again_o such_o be_v the_o irreconciliable_a malice_n of_o satan_n that_o he_o take_v vantage_n of_o man_n corruption_n and_o neglect_v no_o time_n or_o opportunity_n to_o entrap_v the_o child_n of_o god_n in_o the_o snare_n of_o his_o temptation_n and_o hence_o it_o be_v that_o man_n by_o reason_n of_o his_o own_o corruption_n and_o the_o wicked_a suggestion_n of_o the_o devil_n be_v at_o continual_a strife_n with_o himself_o have_v daily_a occasion_n of_o sorrow_n work_v out_o his_o salvation_n with_o fear_n and_o tremble_a wade_v as_o it_o be_v even_o while_o he_o live_v in_o a_o sea_n of_o many_o misery_n the_o second_o evil_a be_v the_o vanity_n of_o all_o thing_n that_o be_v in_o the_o world_n for_o whether_o we_o consider_v the_o world_n itself_o or_o the_o thing_n therein_o contain_v do_v or_o suffer_v there_o be_v nothing_o so_o sure_a and_o steadie_a whereunto_o man_n have_v attain_v can_v possible_o rest_v full_o satisfy_v and_o content_v or_o which_o in_o the_o end_n will_v not_o prove_v to_o be_v most_o vain_a vanity_n and_o the_o truth_n hereof_o appear_v in_o the_o experience_n of_o solomon_n himself_o who_o be_v king_n over_o israel_n want_v neither_o authority_n nor_o ability_n &_o opportunity_n to_o take_v knowledge_n and_o trial_n of_o all_o worldly_a thing_n in_o all_o estate_n and_o condition_n and_o have_v even_o of_o set_a purpose_n careful_o and_o earnest_o search_v into_o they_o all_o at_o length_n he_o conclude_v that_o the_o issue_n of_o all_o be_v unprofitable_a vanity_n and_o vexation_n of_o mind_n as_o we_o may_v read_v in_o his_o ecclesiastes_n the_o three_o evil_n be_v the_o changeable_n condition_n of_o our_o life_n in_o this_o world_n whereby_o it_o come_v to_o pass_v that_o we_o be_v always_o in_o a_o fleet_a and_o

the_o matter_n with_o god_n why_o his_o own_o people_n shall_v be_v so_o lamentable_o afflict_v by_o a_o terrible_a and_o a_o furious_a nation_n and_o why_o they_o shall_v be_v lead_v away_o captive_n by_o the_o chaldean_n the_o enemy_n of_o god_n to_o this_o the_o lord_n make_v answer_v that_o as_o he_o have_v certain_o determine_v that_o judgement_n to_o come_v upon_o they_o so_o certain_o have_v he_o appoint_v a_o set_a time_n wherein_o they_o shall_v be_v deliver_v in_o the_o mean_a while_n he_o bid_v they_o to_o comfort_v themselves_o in_o this_o that_o though_o the_o affliction_n shall_v rest_v upon_o they_o for_o a_o season_n yet_o undoubted_o they_o shall_v be_v case_v at_o the_o length_n and_o therefore_o that_o they_o shall_v in_o patience_n wait_v for_o the_o vision_n that_o be_v the_o accomplishment_n of_o the_o vision_n touch_v their_o deliverance_n second_o hence_o we_o learn_v that_o we_o must_v not_o only_o believe_v the_o promise_n of_o god_n in_o general_a that_o god_n be_v true_a and_o faithful_a in_o they_o and_o that_o he_o be_v able_a and_o willing_a to_o fulfil_v they_o even_o as_o he_o make_v they_o but_o we_o must_v believe_v they_o in_o particular_a that_o be_v with_o application_n to_o their_o proper_a and_o several_a circumstance_n which_o be_v the_o particular_a mean_n place_n and_o time_n whereby_o and_o wherein_o he_o have_v give_v his_o word_n as_o touch_v our_o freedom_n and_o exemption_n from_o the_o cross_n take_v a_o instance_n hereof_o in_o the_o prophet_n daniel_n who_o know_v well_o by_o the_o spirit_n of_o prophecy_n that_o the_o lord_n have_v determine_v to_o bring_v upon_o the_o jew_n 70._o year_n captivity_n in_o babylon_n he_o know_v also_o that_o god_n have_v promise_v to_o put_v a_o end_n to_o that_o captivity_n at_o the_o end_n and_o term_v of_o those_o year_n now_o what_o do_v daniel_n in_o this_o case_n upon_o knowledge_n of_o the_o will_n of_o god_n in_o that_o point_n during_o the_o say_a time_n he_o pray_v not_o 9_o unto_o the_o lord_n for_o deliverance_n of_o his_o people_n but_o when_o he_o understand_v that_o the_o time_n draw_v near_o wherein_o it_o be_v the_o will_n of_o god_n that_o the_o jew_n 2._o shall_v return_v out_o of_o captivity_n then_o by_o faith_n apply_v the_o promise_n of_o god_n to_o that_o particular_a time_n he_o beseech_v the_o lord_n in_o prayer_n and_o supplication_n with_o fast_v in_o sackcloth_n and_o ash_n and_o the_o lord_n give_v ear_n unto_o his_o prayer_n &_o yield_v he_o a_o gracious_a answer_n ii_o the_o second_o point_n be_v that_o god_n when_o he_o defer_v deliverance_n he_o do_v it_o upon_o great_a and_o weighty_a cause_n and_o consideration_n best_a know_v to_o himself_o the_o first_o whereof_o be_v that_o thereby_o he_o may_v humble_v man_n thorough_o and_o bring_v they_o to_o a_o utter_a denial_n of_o themselves_o and_o consequent_o cause_v they_o to_o learn_v patience_n in_o affliction_n which_o they_o will_v not_o learn_v if_o they_o may_v be_v their_o own_o carver_n and_o have_v speedy_a deliverance_n from_o the_o cross_n at_o their_o own_o will_n &_o pleasure_n second_o that_o be_v afflict_v they_o may_v acknowledge_v whence_o their_o deliverance_n come_v yea_o whence_o they_o do_v receive_v not_o only_o that_o but_o every_o other_o good_a benefit_n which_o they_o enjoy_v namely_o not_o from_o themselves_o or_o any_o creature_n but_o only_o from_o the_o lord_n and_o according_o may_v learn_v to_o value_n and_o prize_v his_o gift_n at_o their_o deserve_a excellency_n for_o it_o be_v a_o true_a say_n and_o often_o verify_v in_o affliction_n and_o want_n that_o benefit_n easy_o obtain_v be_v light_o regard_v and_o soon_o forget_v three_o that_o by_o the_o continuance_n of_o the_o cross_n without_o intermission_n he_o may_v make_v they_o to_o distaste_v the_o world_n and_o consequent_o draw_v they_o to_o the_o meditation_n of_o the_o life_n to_o come_v wherein_o all_o matter_n of_o mourning_n shall_v cease_v and_o 4._o all_o tear_n shall_v be_v wipe_v from_o their_o eye_n four_o the_o lord_n defer_v deliverance_n from_o affliction_n that_o he_o may_v prevent_v great_a evil_n and_o danger_n whereinto_o those_o that_o be_v afflict_v may_v run_v if_o they_o have_v their_o heart_n desire_v and_o be_v ease_v not_o at_o his_o will_n but_o at_o their_o own_o wish_n when_o the_o child_n of_o israel_n come_v into_o canaan_n they_o be_v inform_v that_o they_o shall_v dwell_v together_o with_o the_o canaanite_n and_o moses_n render_v a_o reason_n thereof_o lest_o say_v he_o the_o wild_a 28._o beast_n of_o the_o field_n multiply_v against_o thou_o and_o for_o 2d_o the_o prevent_n of_o this_o evil_n the_o israelite_n must_v endure_v some_o annoyance_n by_o the_o canaanite_n even_o so_o the_o lord_n keep_v his_o servant_n under_o the_o cross_n for_o the_o prevent_n of_o great_a sin_n and_o offence_n this_o shall_v stay_v the_o mind_n of_o man_n &_o make_v they_o content_a to_o wait_v upon_o god_n for_o deliverance_n when_o they_o be_v afflict_v the_o three_o and_o last_o point_n be_v that_o god_n always_o have_v and_o do_v exercise_v his_o best_a servant_n with_o long_a and_o continue_a cross_n abraham_n be_v childless_a till_o he_o be_v 70._o year_n of_o age_n and_o at_o those_o year_n the_o lord_n promise_v he_o issue_n but_o this_o promise_n be_v not_o accomplish_v till_o a_o long_a time_n after_o when_o he_o be_v a_o hundred_o year_n old_a david_n have_v a_o promise_n to_o be_v king_n of_o jerusalem_n and_o juda_n but_o the_o lord_n exercise_v he_o by_o many_o and_o grievous_a affliction_n before_o he_o come_v to_o the_o crown_n in_o so_o much_o that_o he_o say_v of_o himself_o that_o his_o eye_n fail_v with_o wait_v upon_o his_o god_n zacharie_n and_o elizabeth_n pray_v to_o god_n both_o of_o they_o in_o their_o youth_n and_o many_o year_n after_o for_o issue_n but_o the_o lord_n grant_v not_o their_o request_n till_o they_o be_v old_a to_o add_v no_o more_o example_n by_o these_o we_o see_v the_o lord_n deal_v even_o with_o holy_a man_n &_o woman_n his_o own_o dear_a servant_n that_o he_o do_v not_o always_o grant_v their_o request_n nor_o condescend_v to_o their_o desire_n at_o the_o first_o but_o as_o it_o be_v hold_v they_o off_o &_o suspend_v his_o grace_n and_o favour_n for_o a_o time_n and_o therefore_o if_o it_o shall_v please_v
