his â—eeming forlone soul What with barkings of conscience and with the too heavy burthen of sinne vvaves of fearfull thoughts â—lustering blasts and surging storms of Gods heavy displeasure he vvas tossed turmoyled dashed agaâ—â— the rocks of despaire and mâ—â— then in danger of his souls sâ—â— wrack happy were we if â—â—ther through frowardnes ã€ˆâ—Šã€‰ blindenes of judgement we inconsiderately passe by or pâ—â—phanely deride Gods judâ—â—ments by thinking that they â—ther happen casually or by fâ—â—getting of them suddenly ã€ˆâ—Šã€‰ we could but rightly discerne ã€ˆâ—Šã€‰ we should finde nothing mâ—â— profitable then to have the â—mage of this gracious thouâ—â— now afflicted soul in our hearâ— Hereby we may see that tâ— righteous being scarcely saveâ— there is no place for the wicked aâ—â— ungodly to appeare And truâ— we may think that God sent it â—â—ven for our sake that we wâ—â— whom it is too usuall to daâ— with the Lord might knoâ—â— that it is a fearfull thing to fall inâ—o his hands Our faith is then â—ryed in earnest when as the Lord hideth his face from us For if we love God above all â—hings it cannot be but upon the â—osse of the relish of his favour â—r taste of his displeasure our â—ouls should be in bitternes prickâ—d tormented wounded thrust â—horow yea and swallowed up with desolation It is a wonder of the world how we careâ—ully will seek physick use dyet by any means to avoid a â—odily pang and how careles we â—re of the unsupportable fits of â—he souls mortall sicknes It is â—ot in our power to apprehend â—race when we will and a hardâ—r matter is it then we can conâ—eive to lift up a poor soul cast â—â—wn with the sense of Gods wrath If a violent passion may so farre transport the minâ—â— what may we think of this reâ—les trembling when the sâ— after long tossings seeth it ã€ˆâ—Šã€‰ drowned and wholly ovâ—â—whelmed with the deluge ã€ˆâ—Šã€‰ sorrow proceeding from the â—verlasting threats and shaâ—â— and confusion of face in ã€ˆâ—Šã€‰ presence of the Almighty Consider the body loaden fâ—â— a burthen neither portable ã€ˆâ—Šã€‰ evitable and thence gather ã€ˆâ—Šã€‰ stranglings of an overladen so Consider a man ready to ã€ˆâ—Šã€‰ from an high Tower unto ã€ˆâ—Šã€‰ Earth and thence gather ã€ˆâ—Šã€‰ estate of another falling frâ—â— Heaven to Hell with a spirituâ—â— ruine Consider a childe whâ—â— the mother hideth her face frâ—â— it and terrifieth it with a Bâ—â—boe and herein take view of ã€ˆâ—Šã€‰ estate of a poor Christian whâ— chiefest happines having therein â—onsisted to wit in being joynâ—d and united to his Heavenly â—ather having now lost his preâ—ence or being affrighted with â—he Devil as if he were ready to â—â—y hands on him Consider â—he estate of a debtor cast off by â—is best Creditours and gather â—hat of a Christian being bankerâ—â—ut with his God Consider â—he estate of a man once in faâ—our afterwards adjudged to â—eath by a Prince without hope â—f pardon or repriving and gaâ—her that of a Christian who â—fter his citation and arraignâ—ent at the Tribunal seat of God â—ands condemned and is wholâ—â— deprived of obtaining pardon â—nd delivered into the hands of â—he Devil The Lord needs â—ot to seek wilde beasts to punish â—s or such like cruell executioners of his wrath to torment uâ— he may finde enough within us all the furyes and Devils cannâ—â— invent a more greivous tormenâ— One by it apprehended needetâ— not more accusers or torment ours His many never-thoughâ— of sinne as if he stirred a nest ã€ˆâ—Šã€‰ wasps come buzzing about hâ— eares and as a man indebteâ— once laid hold of make him faster daily his loving friends maâ— stand by the prison and call him but he being fast fettered cannoâ— stirre forth You shall see hiâ— now in his purgatory not thâ— papisticall sinne-satisfying fictâ—on the Popes jayle but that hâ—â— fiery furnace wherein the Loâ—â— trieth his metall whether it ã€ˆâ—Šã€‰ good or reprobate And suâ—pose that he had died at tâ—â— worst as in the Lords justice ã€ˆâ—Šã€‰ might to the hardening of thoâ—â— that will not be softened As no man should rather judge him by â—he inch of his death then the â—ength of his life so I for my part neither did in him nor doe â—n my self so much feare his death as I did and doe desire his life You may observe the â—ourses which God taketh in visiting his children to be divers some are comfortable and withâ—ut any great admixture of discomfort others heavy but without horrour others horrible â—et all of them are in the issue gracious But to leave any furâ—her digression and to come again to the matter in hand When one came unto him he â—rake out into these words Oh â—ow wofull and miserable is my eâ—tate that thus must converse with â—el-hounds He being with these words strangely moved went to call some of his best abâ—â— friends to comfort him Tâ— them he complayned that tâ— Lord had cursed him Being dâ—manded how he knew it he answered Why the event shewetâ— it It being replyed Theâ— such and such were cursed hâ— answered I have no grace Hoâ— doe those then they once haâ— none I was a foolish glorious Hâ—pocrite It is against the course ã€ˆâ—Šã€‰ Gods proceeding to save me ã€ˆâ—Šã€‰ hath otherwise decreed he cannoâ— Put your trust in God I cannoâ— no more then an horse Doe yoâ— desire to beleive No more theâ— a post then an horsshoe I knoâ— you cannot deny but that yoâ— have sought Gods glory Nâ—â— sincerely There is a secret miâ—ture of pride and hypocrisy â—ven in the best I have no moâ— sense of grace then these curtain â—â—en a goose then that block Let â—he testimony of your life past â—omfort you especially in the â—â—lling of a Tutour I did the â—â—sinesse thereof perfunctorily when ã€ˆâ—Šã€‰ handled hard Authours I came â—ten unprepared and read shameâ—â—lly Be of good courage and â—â—e Lord will comfort your â—eart It is ended there is no â—â—ch matter Why doe you think â—o You shall see the event God â—ill yet bring it to passe Tush â—â—sh trifles What doe you think â—f your former Doctrine Very â—ood Let it comfort you It â—â—nnot You desire it could If ã€ˆâ—Šã€‰ might There is nothing unâ—ossible to God Which stands with â—is decree Oh oh miserable and â—ofull the burthen of my sinne lyâ—â—th heavy upon me I doubt it will â—reak my heart Behold your â—omforts Nothing to me I pray you hold your peace doe not trouâ—â— your self idly you vex me yâ— words are as daggers to my heaâ— Another time some of tâ—â— younger sort said to him Râ—member Sir the good counseâ—â— that you have given us heretâ—fore Those were ordinary Yâ—â—
