and_o blood_n and_o the_o gate_n that_o must_v admit_v he_o into_o those_o mansion_n of_o glory_n be_v exceed_v straight_o and_o he_o must_v strive_v hard_a if_o he_o will_v enter_v in_o at_o it_o thus_o you_o see_v in_o general_a that_o the_o righteous_a shall_v scarce_o be_v save_v that_o be_v it_o shall_v cost_v he_o much_o labour_n and_o sweat_v and_o pain_n to_o work_v out_o his_o salvation_n and_o through_o much_o tribulation_n through_o many_o and_o great_a trouble_n and_o affliction_n through_o many_o amaze_a difficulty_n and_o affright_a danger_n he_o shall_v at_o the_o last_o enter_v into_o the_o kingdom_n of_o heaven_n and_o receive_v a_o crown_n of_o glory_n and_o this_o will_v appear_v more_o plain_o if_o we_o consider_v distinct_o these_o several_a difficulty_n which_o he_o have_v to_o encounter_v in_o his_o way_n to_o heaven_n and_o these_o be_v first_o his_o own_o natural_a corruption_n the_o best_a and_o holy_a of_o man_n our_o bless_a saviour_n only_o except_v who_o be_v sanctify_v from_o the_o womb_n be_v all_o conceive_a and_o bear_v in_o sin_n by_o one_o man_n say_v st._n paul_n sin_n enter_v into_o the_o world_n and_o death_n by_o sin_n and_o

even_o the_o best_a of_o god_n saint_n as_o well_o as_o other_o man_n bring_v into_o the_o world_n with_o they_o derive_v it_o from_o adam_n by_o a_o wonderful_a but_o certain_a propagation_n be_v of_o a_o spread_a and_o infectious_a nature_n as_o dangerous_a and_o deadly_a to_o the_o soul_n if_o it_o be_v not_o careful_o subdue_v and_o mortify_v as_o leprosy_n to_o the_o body_n it_o be_v ever_o active_a and_o stir_a labour_a and_o struggle_v continual_o to_o get_v the_o mastery_n over_o the_o soul_n that_o so_o it_o may_v break_v out_o into_o open_a and_o actual_a transgression_n and_o too_o often_o it_o do_v so_o even_o in_o good_a man_n and_o prevail_v sometime_o over_o the_o most_o pious_a and_o devout_a christian_n this_o be_v that_o which_o move_v david_n to_o commit_v

cause_v so_o many_o weakness_n and_o fail_n in_o all_o the_o saint_n of_o god_n so_o that_o there_o be_v not_o a_o just_a man_n upon_o earth_n that_o do_v good_a and_o sin_n not_o but_o in_o every_o man_n there_o be_v a_o law_n in_o his_o member_n war_a against_o the_o law_n of_o his_o mind_n and_o bring_v he_o into_o captivity_n to_o the_o law_n of_o sin_n which_o be_v in_o his_o member_n rom._n 7.23_o in_o every_o man_n as_o the_o same_o apostle_n speak_v gal._n 5.17_o the_o flesh_n lust_n against_o the_o spirit_n and_o the_o spirit_n against_o the_o flesh_n and_o these_o two_o be_v

mankind_n be_v in_o by_o nature_n i_o say_v the_o wise_a sort_n even_o among_o the_o heathen_a amid_o the_o gross_a darkness_n of_o paganism_n and_o idolatry_n have_v some_o little_a knowledge_n of_o though_o they_o be_v utter_o ignorant_a of_o the_o true_a cause_n and_o reason_n of_o it_o and_o therefore_o they_o make_v it_o their_o chief_a care_n and_o business_n by_o their_o learning_n and_o philosophy_n according_a to_o the_o best_a of_o their_o power_n to_o correct_v and_o amend_v it_o but_o unto_o we_o christian_n god_n have_v unlock_v this_o secret_a and_o have_v full_o discover_v this_o great_a and_o hide_a mystery_n which_o all_o the_o learning_n of_o the_o profound_a heathen_a philosopher_n be_v not_o able_a to_o search_v out_o in_o the_o lively_a oracle_n of_o the_o holy_a

that_o dwell_v in_o we_o because_o since_o the_o fall_n of_o our_o first_o parent_n it_o be_v become_v natural_a and_o hereditary_a to_o we_o and_o never_o leave_v we_o nor_o forsake_v we_o in_o

12.1_o the_o sin_n which_o do_v so_o easy_o beset_v we_o because_o it_o cleave_v to_o we_o so_o close_o and_o inseparable_o and_o with_o so_o much_o force_n and_o violence_n press_n and_o besiege_n all_o the_o strength_n and_o power_n of_o our_o soul_n the_o word_n in_o the_o original_a be_v very_o elegant_a and_o emphatical_a and_o but_o once_o use_v in_o all_o the_o new_a testament_n 〈◊〉_d

affection_n evil_a concupiscence_n and_o covetousness_n which_o be_v idolatry_n thus_o you_o see_v the_o first_o difficulty_n that_o the_o righteous_a man_n have_v to_o encounter_v within_o his_o way_n to_o heaven_n which_o render_v that_o way_n so_o troublesome_a to_o he_o that_o notwithstanding_o all_o his_o courage_n and_o resolution_n he_o can_v walk_v in_o it_o without_o great_a pain_n and_o labour_n he_o carry_v a_o most_o unwelcome_a and_o heavy_a clog_n about_o he_o from_o which_o he_o can_v possible_o disengage_v himself_o which_o continual_o pull_v he_o back_o and_o hinder_v and_o retard_v his_o soul_n in_o its_o flight_n towards_o those_o glorious_a mansion_n of_o joy_n and_o happiness_n towards_o which_o it_o do_v so_o eager_o press_v forward_o and_o have_v he_o no_o other_o enemy_n but_o this_o one_o to_o vanquish_v even_o this_o alone_a may_v be_v sufficient_a to_o satisfy_v we_o that_o he_o shall_v scarce_o be_v save_v since_o it_o be_v most_o certain_a that_o he_o never_o shall_v be_v save_v at_o all_o except_o he_o do_v overcome_v this_o first_o enemy_n of_o his_o salvation_n which_o of_o all_o other_o be_v the_o most_o formidable_a one_o deceitful_a

we_o than_o either_o the_o world_n or_o the_o devil_n both_o which_o join_v their_o force_n together_o with_o this_o to_o bring_v we_o to_o destruction_n and_o can_v we_o as_o we_o have_v all_o solemn_o promise_v and_o engage_v to_o do_v in_o our_o baptismal_a vow_n renounce_v all_o the_o sinful_a lust_n

and_o incorruptible_a inheritance_n which_o our_o highpriest_n have_v purchase_v for_o we_o in_o heaven_n thus_o i_o say_v if_o in_o this_o world_n god_n have_v bless_v we_o with_o wealth_n and_o honour_n the_o consideration_n of_o our_o saviour_n ascension_n will_v be_v a_o powerful_a mean_n to_o restrain_v we_o from_o the_o abuse_n of_o those_o blessing_n so_o that_o we_o shall_v neither_o idolise_v our_o wealth_n with_o the_o covetous_a nor_o with_o the_o prodigal_a waste_n and_o consume_v it_o upon_o our_o lust_n but_o shall_v wise_o improve_v it_o to_o our_o best_a advantage_n so_o as_o to_o make_v to_o ourselves_o friend_n of_o the_o mammon_n of_o unrighteousness_n second_o on_o the_o contrary_a have_v god_n deal_v otherwise_o with_o we_o have_v he_o withhold_v these_o blessing_n from_o we_o be_v our_o condition_n in_o this_o world_n very_o poor_a and_o mean_a so_o that_o we_o have_v not_o where-withal_a to_o help_v ourselves_o but_o be_v fain_o to_o be_v behold_v both_o for_o food_n and_o raiment_n and_o whatsoever_o be_v necessary_a to_o the_o support_n of_o our_o life_n to_o our_o rich_a neighbour_n the_o consideration_n of_o our_o saviour_n ascension_n into_o heaven_n will_v exceed_o comfort_v we_o and_o support_v our_o spirit_n in_o the_o midst_n of_o our_o want_n and_o penury_n for_o how_o can_v we_o be_v trouble_v at_o our_o low_a fortune_n in_o this_o world_n when_o we_o remember_v that_o we_o have_v a_o highpriest_n in_o heaven_n that_o have_v a_o crown_n of_o glory_n in_o his_o hand_n ready_a to_o put_v on_o our_o head_n as_o soon_o as_o our_o earthly_a tabernacle_n be_v dissolve_v nay_o more_o than_o this_o be_v our_o condition_n here_o yet_o worse_o be_v we_o not_o only_o poor_a and_o despicable_a but_o be_v we_o moreover_o persecute_v for_o righteousness_n sake_n do_v the_o world_n frown_v upon_o we_o and_o rage_n against_o we_o with_o all_o its_o fury_n let_v we_o not_o be_v discourage_v for_o all_o this_o and_o we_o can_v be_v if_o we_o consider_v as_o it_o follow_v in_o the_o verse_n after_o my_o text_n that_o in_o heaven_n we_o have_v not_o a_o highpriest_n which_o can_v be_v touch_v with_o the_o feel_n of_o our_o infirmity_n but_o be_v in_o all_o point_v tempt_v like_a as_o we_o be_v yet_o without_o sin_n he_o himself_o when_o he_o be_v here_o on_o earth_n be_v so_o poor_a that_o he_o have_v not_o a_o house_n wherein_o to_o lay_v his_o head_n he_o be_v all_o his_o life_n long_o a_o man_n of_o sorrow_n and_o acquaint_v with_o grief_n and_o be_v at_o the_o last_o most_o cruel_o and_o despiteful_o persecute_v even_o unto_o death_n and_o as_o he_o himself_o be_v for_o the_o suffering_n of_o death_n crown_v with_o glory_n and_o honour_n so_o have_v he_o promise_v the_o same_o reward_n to_o all_o those_o that_o suffer_v for_o his_o sake_n bless_a be_v they_o which_o be_v persecute_v for_o righteousness_n sake_n for_o they_o be_v the_o kingdom_n of_o heaven_n matth._n 5.10_o how_o then_o can_v persecution_n seem_v grievous_a to_o we_o when_o we_o consider_v that_o we_o suffer_v for_o our_o highpriest_n who_o have_v suffer_v far_o great_a and_o bitter_a torment_n for_o we_o than_o we_o can_v do_v for_o he_o and_o who_o now_o sit_v on_o the_o right_a hand_n of_o god_n ready_a to_o make_v we_o a_o vast_a amends_o for_o our_o light_n and_o momentary_a affliction_n here_o by_o bestow_v upon_o we_o a_o far_o more_o exceed_a and_o eternal_a weight_n of_o glory_n thus_o powerful_a be_v the_o meditation_n of_o our_o saviour_n ascension_n to_o guide_v and_o direct_v we_o to_o make_v we_o wary_a and_o cautious_a in_o prosperity_n and_o to_o strengthen_v and_o comfort_v we_o and_o to_o make_v we_o patient_a and_o courageous_a in_o adversity_n and_o to_o arm_n and_o fortify_v we_o both_o against_o the_o smile_n and_o frown_n of_o the_o world_n nay_o second_o when_o death_n itself_o approach_v near_o we_o when_o the_o king_n of_o terror_n be_v ready_a to_o seize_v upon_o we_o the_o same_o meditation_n will_v make_v we_o bid_v that_o hour_n welcome_a when_o we_o consider_v that_o we_o have_v a_o highpriest_n in_o heaven_n that_o have_v swallow_v up_o death_n in_o victory_n so_o that_o to_o all_o true_a believer_n it_o be_v now_o but_o asleep_o the_o gate_n through_o which_o we_o must_v enter_v into_o eternal_a life_n again_o three_o which_o be_v worse_o than_o death_n and_o which_o be_v the_o very_a sting_n and_o poison_n of_o death_n itself_o be_v we_o at_o any_o time_n terrify_v and_o affright_v at_o the_o sight_n of_o any_o grievous_a sin_n into_o which_o by_o the_o temptation_n of_o the_o devil_n and_o through_o our_o own_o lust_n we_o have_v fall_v be_v our_o soul_n smite_v into_o the_o place_n of_o dragon_n and_o bring_v down_o as_o it_o be_v even_o to_o hell_n with_o the_o dreadful_a apprehension_n of_o the_o wrath_n of_o god_n which_o thereby_o we_o have_v just_o deserve_v let_v not_o the_o devil_n who_o in_o such_o a_o case_n be_v ever_o ready_a to_o do_v it_o persuade_v we_o to_o despair_n that_o there_o be_v no_o hope_n of_o mercy_n for_o we_o but_o that_o now_o god_n have_v hide_v his_o face_n from_o we_o for_o ever_o and_o that_o he_o will_v be_v no_o more_o entreat_v by_o we_o but_o let_v we_o say_v with_o the_o psalmist_n why_o be_v thou_o cast_v down_o o_o my_o soul_n and_o why_o be_v thou_o disquiet_v within_o i_o hope_v thou_o in_o god_n for_o i_o shall_v yet_o praise_v he_o who_o be_v the_o health_n of_o my_o countenance_n and_o my_o god_n let_v we_o remember_v that_o though_o we_o have_v sin_v yet_o we_o have_v a_o advocate_n with_o the_o father_n jesus_n christ_n the_o righteous_a and_o he_o be_v the_o propitiation_n for_o our_o sin_n let_v we_o remember_v that_o though_o we_o have_v sin_v yet_o we_o have_v a_o great_a highpriest_n that_o be_v pass_v into_o the_o heaven_n jesus_n the_o son_n of_o god_n who_o ever_o live_v to_o make_v intercession_n for_o we_o let_v we_o not_o therefore_o despair_n but_o repent_v let_v we_o trust_v in_o the_o merit_n and_o righteousness_n of_o our_o highpriest_n come_v bold_o though_o humble_o and_o penitent_o to_o the_o throne_n of_o grace_n that_o we_o may_v obtain_v mercy_n and_o find_v grace_n to_o help_v in_o time_n of_o need_n and_o if_o we_o do_v so_o come_v we_o may_v assure_v ourselves_o that_o we_o shall_v find_v both_o grace_n and_o mercy_n not_o one_o tear_n that_o proceed_v from_o godly_a sorrow_n shall_v drop_v to_o the_o ground_n not_o one_o penitential_a sigh_n shall_v be_v breathe_v in_o vain_a but_o our_o highpriest_n will_v be_v sure_a
