promise_v that_o if_o we_o resist_v the_o devil_n he_o shall_v fly_v from_o we_o jam._n 47._o therefore_o our_o duty_n be_v first_o to_o pray_v earnest_o for_o god_n grace_n to_o enable_v we_o to_o overcome_v the_o temptation_n and_o second_o to_o set_v ourselves_o manful_o to_o combat_n with_o it_o not_o yield_v or_o give_v consent_n to_o it_o in_o the_o least_o degree_n and_o whilst_o we_o do_v thus_o we_o be_v confident_o to_o rest_v upon_o god_n that_o his_o grace_n will_v be_v sufficient_a for_o we_o that_o he_o will_v either_o remove_v the_o temptation_n or_o strengthen_v we_o to_o withstand_v it_o 51._o second_o temporal_a in_o all_o outward_a and_o temporal_a danger_n we_o be_v to_o rest_v upon_o he_o as_o know_v that_o he_o be_v able_a to_o deliver_v we_o and_o that_o he_o will_v do_v so_o if_o he_o see_v it_o best_o for_o we_o &_o if_o we_o be_v such_o to_o who_o he_o have_v promise_v his_o protection_n that_o be_v such_o as_o true_o fear_v he_o to_o this_o purpose_n we_o have_v many_o promise_n in_o scripture_n ps._n 34._o 7._o the_o angel_n of_o the_o lord_n tarry_v round_o about_o they_o that_o fear_v he_o and_o deliver_v they_o &_o ps._n 34._o 20._o the_o lord_n deliver_v the_o soul_n of_o his_o saint_n and_o all_o that_o put_v their_o trust_n in_o he_o shall_v not_o be_v destitute_a and_o divers_a the_o like_a and_o also_o we_o have_v many_o example_n as_o that_o of_o the_o three_o child_n in_o the_o furnace_n dan._n 3._o that_o of_o daniel_n in_o the_o lion_n den_n dan._n 6._o and_o many_o other_o all_o which_o serve_v to_o teach_v we_o this_o one_o lesson_n that_o if_o we_o go_v on_o conscionable_o in_o perform_v our_o duty_n we_o need_v not_o be_v dismay_v for_o any_o thing_n that_o can_v befall_v we_o for_o the_o god_n who_o we_o serve_v be_v able_a to_o deliver_v we_o 52._o therefore_o in_o all_o danger_n we_o be_v first_o humble_o to_o pray_v for_o his_o aid_n and_o then_o to_o rest_v ourselves_o cheerful_o on_o he_o sin_n assure_v ourselves_o that_o he_o will_v give_v such_o a_o issue_n as_o shall_v be_v most_o for_o our_o good_a but_o above_o all_o thing_n we_o must_v be_v sure_a to_o fix_v our_o dependence_n whole_o on_o he_o and_o not_o to_o rely_v on_o the_o creature_n for_o help_n much_o less_o must_v we_o seek_v to_o deliver_v ourselves_o by_o any_o unlawful_a mean_n that_o be_v by_o the_o commit_n of_o any_o sin_n for_o that_o be_v like_o saul_n 1_o sam._n 28._o 7._o to_o go_v to_o the_o witch_n that_o be_v to_o the_o devil_n for_o help_v such_o course_n do_v common_o deceive_v our_o hope_n at_o the_o present_a and_o in_o stead_n of_o deliver_v we_o out_o of_o our_o straits_n plunge_v we_o in_o great_a and_o those_o much_o mroe_n uncomfortable_a one_o because_o than_o we_o want_v that_o which_o be_v the_o only_a support_n god_n favour_n and_o aid_v which_o we_o certain_o forfeit_v when_o we_o thus_o seek_v to_o rescue_v ourselves_o by_o any_o sinful_a mean_n but_o suppose_v we_o can_v by_o such_o a_o way_n certain_o free_v ourselves_o from_o the_o present_a danger_n yet_o alas_o we_o be_v far_o from_o have_v gain_v safety_n by_o it_o we_o have_v only_o remove_v the_o danger_n from_o that_o which_o be_v less_o considerable_a and_o bring_v it_o upon_o the_o most_o precious_a part_n of_o we_o our_o soul_n like_o a_o unskilful_a physician_n that_o to_o remove_v a_o pain_n from_o the_o finger_n strike_v it_o to_o the_o heart_n we_o be_v therefore_o gross_o mistake_v when_o we_o think_v we_o have_v play_v the_o good_a husband_n in_o save_v our_o liberty_n or_o estate_n or_o live_v themselves_o by_o a_o sin_n we_o have_v not_o save_v they_o but_o mad_o over-bought_a they_o lay_v out_o our_o very_a soul_n on_o they_o and_o christ_n tell_v we_o how_o little_o we_o shall_v gain_v

to_o such_o a_o issue_n that_o we_o must_v either_o part_v with_o some_o perhaps_o all_o our_o worldly_a possession_n nay_o life_n itself_o or_o else_o commit_v a_o sin_n let_v we_o then_o remember_v that_o this_o be_v the_o season_n for_o we_o to_o perform_v that_o great_a and_o excellent_a duty_n of_o take_v up_o the_o cross_n which_o we_o can_v never_o so_o proper_o do_v as_o in_o this_o case_n

say_v to_o take_v it_o up_o when_o have_v a_o mean_n of_o escape_v it_o by_o a_o sin_n we_o rather_o choose_v to_o endure_v the_o cross_n then_o commit_v the_o sin_n for_o than_o it_o be_v not_o lay_v on_o we_o by_o any_o unavoidable_a necessity_n but_o we_o willing_o choose_v it_o and_o this_o be_v high_o acceptable_a with_o god_n yet_o withal_o so_o strict_o require_v by_o he_o that_o if_o we_o
