law_n and_o under_o the_o gospel_n all_o lead_v we_o not_o only_o unto_o christ_n but_o unto_o all_o those_o sweet_a grace_n and_o heavenly_a comfort_n that_o we_o receive_v from_o he_o to_o omit_v to_o speak_v of_o the_o sacrament_n of_o the_o old_a testament_n which_o yet_o notwithstanding_o be_v for_o substance_n and_o matter_n the_o same_o to_o the_o father_n that_o we_o be_v to_o we_o and_o to_o come_v to_o they_o of_o the_o new_a testament_n yea_o and_o but_o to_o touch_v one_o of_o they_o only_o namely_o the_o lord_n supper_n what_o wonderful_a and_o unspeakable_a comfort_n do_v god_n in_o christ_n offer_v unto_o we_o therein_o to_o say_v nothing_o of_o those_o that_o we_o receive_v there_o the_o pledge_n of_o his_o death_n and_o blood_n shed_v and_o of_o all_o the_o grace_n that_o

that_o under_o those_o element_n of_o bread_n and_o wine_n he_o shall_v seal_v up_o in_o our_o heart_n not_o only_o the_o spiritual_a strength_n we_o have_v from_o he_o to_o die_v the_o death_n of_o sin_n and_o to_o live_v the_o life_n of_o righteousness_n through_o his_o power_n but_o also_o the_o heavenly_a comfort_n that_o he_o communicate_v unto_o we_o bread_n no_o more_o effectual_o or_o lively_o strengthen_v our_o heart_n nor_o wine_n more_o effectual_o make_v we_o to_o be_v of_o cheerful_a spirit_n than_o christ_n partake_v of_o by_o faith_n fill_v we_o with_o all_o manner_n of_o heavenly_a and_o holy_a joy_n and_o by_o argument_n take_v from_o privation_n if_o i_o may_v so_o say_v we_o may_v prove_v this_o point_n the_o comfort_n that_o we_o speak_v of_o be_v no_o where_o else_o to_o be_v sound_a therefore_o it_o must_v of_o necessity_n be_v in_o he_o alone_o if_o we_o will_v look_v to_o angel_n and_o saint_n depart_v out_o of_o this_o life_n there_o be_v a_o double_a exception_n against_o they_o for_o first_o we_o be_v uncertain_a of_o their_o good_a will_n and_o sound_v affection_n towards_o we_o as_o in_o this_o behalf_n then_o we_o be_v sure_o they_o can_v

they_o be_v as_o far_o unable_a and_o weak_a for_o this_o work_n as_o the_o other_o if_o not_o more_o the_o divelles_n and_o damn_v spirit_n will_v rather_o do_v what_o they_o can_v to_o torment_v we_o then_o yield_v any_o consolation_n man_n and_o woman_n that_o live_v with_o we_o in_o the_o world_n be_v infirm_a and_o stand_v in_o need_n as_o we_o ourselves_o and_o not_o able_a in_o the_o

to_o the_o handle_n and_o hear_v of_o some_o other_o doctrine_n we_o may_v see_v by_o it_o as_o if_o it_o be_v in_o a_o clear_a &_o true_a look_a glass_n the_o miserable_a estate_n and_o woeful_a condition_n of_o all_o in_o the_o world_n that_o be_v without_o the_o knowledge_n and_o feel_n of_o christ_n i_o say_v both_o knowledge_n and_o feeling_n and_o i_o beseech_v you_o join_v they_o both_o together_o for_o they_o can_v be_v sunder_v no_o more_o than_o the_o soul_n and_o the_o body_n because_o as_o all_o without_o the_o knowledge_n of_o he_o be_v under_o condemnation_n so_o many_o that_o know_v he_o &_o yet_o feel_v he_o not_o in_o faith_n and_o obedience_n shall_v certain_o perish_v for_o if_o that_o be_v true_a which_o christ_n himself_o say_v joh._n 17._o this_o be_v life_n eternal_a to_o know_v thou_o to_o be_v the_o only_a true_a god_n and_o he_o who_o thou_o have_v send_v jesus_n christ_n then_o this_o by_o the_o contrary_n must_v needs_o be_v true_a also_o that_o those_o that_o know_v not_o god_n and_o he_o who_o he_o have_v send_v jesus_n christ_n rest_n under_o eternal_a condemnation_n because_o christ_n say_v he_o that_o believe_v in_o the_o name_n of_o the_o only_o beget_v son_n of_o god_n shall_v not_o come_v into_o judgement_n but_o have_v pass_v out_o of_o death_n into_o life_n and_o again_o he_o that_o believe_v not_o be_v condemn_v already_o because_o he_o believe_v not_o in_o the_o name_n of_o the_o only_a son_n of_o god_n by_o which_o we_o see_v what_o sentence_n to_o give_v not_o only_o of_o the_o heathen_a and_o gentile_n of_o who_o the_o apostle_n speak_v ephes_n 2._o that_o they_o be_v without_o god_n in_o the_o world_n neither_o yet_o of_o the_o jew_n turk_n &_o other_o who_o though_o they_o acknowledge_v god_n the_o father_n yet_o obstinate_o deny_v and_o refuse_v the_o person_n of_o the_o son_n but_o also_o of_o many_o thousand_o of_o christian_n whereof_o some_o as_o heretic_n deny_v his_o nature_n as_o the_o anabaptiste_n who_o deny_v his_o humanity_n and_o our_o popish_a adversary_n deface_v his_o office_n of_o kingdom_n in_o erect_v and_o exercise_v another_o government_n they_o he_o have_v prescribe_v of_o priesthood_n in_o place_v their_o daily_a unbloody_a sacrifice_n in_o stead_n of_o it_o of_o prophecy_n in_o bring_v in_o new_a docirine_n and_o establish_v tradition_n and_o other_o such_o trash_n and_o trumpery_n other_o some_o again_o know_v he_o but_o deny_v he_o through_o loose_a and_o lewd_a life_n of_o who_o we_o may_v say_v as_o the_o apostle_n say_v of_o some_o other_o not_o much_o unlike_o they_o that_o when_o they_o know_v the_o power_n of_o godliness_n they_o deny_v it_o notwithstanding_o in_o their_o deed_n and_o of_o who_o also_o we_o may_v say_v though_o it_o be_v to_o their_o terror_n as_o christ_n say_v luk._n 12._o he_o that_o know_v the_o will_n of_o his_o master_n and_o do_v it_o not_o shall_v be_v beat_v with_o many_o stripe_n and_o yet_o let_v no_o man_n think_v this_o a_o hard_a or_o hasty_a judgement_n for_o here_o we_o speak_v not_o the_o word_n of_o our_o own_o heart_n or_o mouth_n but_o of_o god_n and_o may_v in_o some_o measure_n in_o this_o behalf_n say_v even_o as_o christ_n himself_o say_v joh._n 12._o i_o judge_v no_o man_n but_o there_o be_v one_o that_o judge_v such_o even_o the_o word_n that_o he_o have_v speak_v it_o shall_v judge_v they_o according_a to_o which_o when_o we_o judge_v we_o can_v but_o judge_v righteous_a judgement_n because_o it_o be_v all_o and_o only_a truth_n it_o can_v give_v no_o sentence_n save_o according_a to_o the_o same_o but_o to_o draw_v it_o more_o near_o to_o our_o present_a purpose_n and_o occasion_n we_o may_v learn_v from_o hence_o what_o be_v the_o reason_n why_o so_o many_o distress_a spirit_n lie_v as_o it_o be_v broil_v in_o the_o flame_n &_o fire_n of_o a_o trouble_a and_o disquiet_v he_o be_v sure_o he_o either_o they_o know_v not_o christ_n and_o the_o power_n of_o his_o grace_n and_o spirit_n and_o then_o no_o marvel_n though_o they_o boil_v and_o broil_v indeed_o when_o they_o be_v touch_v with_o the_o sting_n of_o conscience_n for_o sin_n and_o condemnation_n therefore_o for_o how_o can_v it_o be_v otherwise_o see_v there_o be_v neither_o forgiveness_n of_o sin_n nor_o overcome_v of_o condemnation_n nor_o any_o comfortable_a &_o continual_a feel_n of_o any_o favour_n but_o by_o he_o or_o else_o they_o feel_v he_o not_o with_o his_o force_n and_o effect_v that_o way_n though_o they_o know_v their_o own_o sin_n the_o punishment_n due_a unto_o they_o therefore_o with_o the_o manifold_a unworthyness_n they_o find_v in_o themselves_o hinder_v they_o from_o comfort_n and_o consolation_n as_o for_o the_o former_a sort_n i_o will_v wish_v they_o careful_o &_o painful_o to_o labour_v

and_o he_o tell_v we_o not_o of_o it_o but_o as_o a_o vain_a glorious_a person_n will_v take_v all_o to_o himself_o and_o more_o indeed_o then_o do_v belong_v unto_o he_o then_o shall_v he_o be_v wrap_v up_o in_o a_o double_a transgression_n the_o one_o against_o his_o father_n towards_o who_o he_o have_v carry_v himself_o unfaithful_o while_o he_o have_v not_o reveal_v unto_o we_o all_o his_o counsel_n communicate_v unto_o he_o for_o our_o good_a and_o the_o other_o towards_o man_n because_o he_o have_v deal_v deceitful_o with_o we_o in_o that_o he_o have_v deprive_v we_o of_o hope_n &_o help_v that_o we_o may_v have_v from_o other_o with_o or_o beside_o he_o but_o all_o these_o thing_n be_v most_o false_a and_o untrue_a for_o he_o be_v the_o faithful_a in_o all_o the_o house_n of_o god_n even_o as_o a_o son_n and_o come_v out_o of_o the_o father_n bosom_n have_v communicate_v unto_o we_o all_o his_o counsel_n and_o we_o know_v and_o believe_v that_o there_o be_v never_o guile_n find_v in_o his_o mouth_n and_o therefore_o that_o sense_n must_v of_o necessity_n be_v true_a yea_o the_o only_a true_a sense_n it_o follow_v in_o the_o verse_n all_o you_o that_o labour_v and_o be_v heavy_a lade_v as_o the_o former_a word_n respect_v the_o person_n call_v and_o exhort_v or_o command_v we_o to_o come_v unto_o he_o so_o these_o word_n concern_v they_o that_o be_v call_v exhort_v or_o command_v wherein_o christ_n first_o show_v that_o he_o be_v free_a from_o all_o partiality_n or_o respect_n of_o person_n in_o as_o much_o as_o indefinite_o or_o general_o he_o call_v all_o heavy_a heart_n and_o as_o it_o be_v command_v they_o to_o repair_v unto_o he_o which_o do_v not_o only_o serve_v to_o show_v his_o great_a care_n and_o love_n towards_o they_o while_o he_o both_o call_v they_o all_o and_o call_v they_o when_o they_o think_v least_o of_o any_o such_o matter_n for_o if_o we_o will_v respect_v he_o in_o his_o magnificence_n or_o man_n in_o their_o own_o unworthines_n what_o be_v they_o that_o shall_v receive_v any_o favour_n special_o so_o great_a a_o grace_n as_o this_o but_o also_o answer_v that_o that_o many_o distress_a spirit_n imagine_v that_o god_n have_v promise_v or_o show_v favour_n to_o such_o and_o such_o because_o of_o some_o rare_a &_o singular_a grace_n in_o they_o and_o not_o for_o his_o own_o mercy_n sake_n or_o for_o their_o miserable_a distress_a estate_n but_o he_o that_o will_v well_o weigh_v the_o course_n of_o god_n work_v that_o way_n or_o the_o truth_n of_o the_o word_n he_o shall_v find_v this_o to_o be_v but_o a_o imagination_n of_o man_n heart_n and_o head_n or_o a_o suggestion_n and_o temptation_n of_o satan_n rather_o to_o hinder_v the_o course_n and_o passage_n of_o god_n grace_n and_o goodness_n from_o trouble_a and_o afflict_a soul_n for_o as_o for_o god_n mercy_n they_o be_v and_o must_v be_v altogether_o free_a or_o else_o they_o be_v not_o mercy_n for_o who_o know_v not_o that_o man_n in_o his_o best_a estate_n after_o regeneration_n can_v merit_v the_o mean_a mercy_n of_o god_n not_o in_o thing_n appertain_v to_o this_o life_n no_o not_o in_o a_o crumb_n of_o bread_n or_o drop_n of_o water_n much_o less_o spiritual_a grace_n and_o eternal_a life_n and_o though_o it_o be_v true_a that_o god_n acknowledge_v his_o own_o grace_n in_o his_o own_o servant_n as_o the_o fruit_n of_o their_o faith_n and_o good_a testimony_n of_o their_o willing_a obedience_n yet_o he_o may_v if_o he_o will_v by_o reason_n of_o the_o imperfection_n that_o cleave_v thereto_o reject_v all_o and_o no_o doubt_n will_v do_v it_o as_o in_o regard_n of_o his_o absolute_a and_o exact_a justice_n but_o that_o he_o have_v provide_v in_o christ_n as_o a_o gracious_a mean_n for_o the_o forgiveness_n of_o all_o our_o sin_n through_o his_o death_n so_o a_o plentiful_a supply_n of_o whatsoever_o be_v want_v in_o we_o through_o the_o most_o perfect_a righteousness_n that_o be_v in_o he_o and_o i_o think_v we_o may_v see_v this_o to_o be_v true_a through_o the_o disclaim_n that_o god_n people_n have_v make_v of_o all_o or_o any_o good_a thing_n in_o themselves_o as_o david_n for_o example_n in_o the_o xvi_o psalm_n my_o goodness_n o_o lord_n reach_v not_o unto_o thou_o &_o isaiah_n for_o himself_o &_o all_o the_o faithful_a chap._n 64._o our_o righteousness_n before_o thou_o be_v as_o filthy_a &_o stain_a clothes_n yea_o we_o may_v see_v it_o by_o the_o course_n they_o have_v keep_v in_o pour_v forth_o of_o prayer_n unto_o god_n in_o which_o they_o have_v respect_v simple_o and_o only_o these_o two_o thing_n god_n mercy_n and_o their_o own_o misery_n and_o use_v they_o as_o principal_a argument_n both_o to_o uphold_v their_o own_o heart_n and_o to_o provoke_v he_o to_o pity_n as_o we_o may_v plain_o see_v in_o many_o psalm_n of_o david_n but_o special_o in_o the_o 86._o throughout_o so_o that_o we_o may_v safe_o say_v god_n respect_v nothing_o in_o man_n no_o not_o his_o misery_n though_o i_o doubt_v not_o but_o that_o many_o time_n he_o be_v much_o move_v therewith_o for_o if_o it_o be_v so_o he_o shall_v either_o leave_v all_o or_o none_o in_o misery_n and_o that_o our_o own_o experience_n teach_v we_o the_o contrary_a or_o if_o man_n misery_n shall_v be_v the_o work_a cause_n in_o he_o than_o those_o that_o be_v most_o miserable_a shall_v soon_o and_o most_o of_o all_o be_v respect_v but_o that_o be_v not_o uriversal_o true_a neither_o and_o again_o if_o misery_n shall_v be_v the_o first_o move_v cause_n in_o god_n why_o do_v not_o thou_o that_o be_v distress_v and_o in_o thy_o own_o judgement_n so_o much_o as_o no_o man_n before_o thou_o from_o thy_o own_o estate_n and_o confession_n gather_v comfort_n unto_o thyself_o from_o the_o lord_n wherefore_o let_v the_o trouble_a spirit_n cast_v away_o these_o conceit_n and_o full_o assure_v himself_o that_o as_o in_o no_o respect_n god_n be_v a_o respecter_n of_o person_n so_o not_o in_o distribute_v and_o bestow_v his_o grace_n special_o spiritual_a grace_n and_o that_o therefore_o so_o often_o as_o this_o or_o such_o like_a thought_n come_v into_o their_o head_n they_o shall_v know_v that_o they_o be_v either_o from_o the_o ignorance_n or_o diffidence_n of_o their_o own_o soul_n or_o from_o the_o malice_n of_o satan_n against_o they_o and_o therefore_o they_o shall_v beware_v how_o they_o admit_v they_o for_o man_n can_v hardly_o carry_v such_o fire_n in_o their_o breast_n and_o not_o be_v burn_v but_o let_v we_o proceed_v lest_o this_o general_a and_o indefinite_a term_n of_o our_o saviour_n shall_v be_v stretch_v further_a than_o his_o meaning_n he_o know_v also_o even_o wicked_a man_n to_o be_v more_o forward_o that_o way_n than_o they_o ought_v he_o do_v restrain_v it_o by_o two_o particular_a adjunct_n or_o attribute_n say_v you_o that_o labour_n and_o be_v heavy_a lade_v where_o first_o we_o be_v to_o mark_v that_o as_o in_o other_o place_n of_o the_o scripture_n and_o other_o case_n also_o god_n be_v wont_a to_o resemble_v spiritual_a thing_n by_o bodily_a and_o to_o speak_v of_o they_o by_o metaphorical_a and_o borrow_a kind_n of_o speech_n whether_o they_o be_v thing_n in_o himself_o or_o without_o he_o so_o here_o he_o do_v the_o like_a for_o under_o these_o term_n of_o labour_v and_o be_v heavy_a lade_v which_o be_v proper_o refer_v to_o outward_a action_n and_o bodily_a burden_n he_o mean_v sense_n of_o sin_n conflict_n of_o conscience_n and_o tug_v and_o wrestle_v as_o it_o be_v with_o and_z under_o the_o wrath_n of_o god_n sometime_o in_o outward_a affliction_n sometime_o in_o inward_a sorrow_n yea_o &_o condemnation_n for_o the_o same_o and_o as_o this_o be_v a_o usual_a thing_n with_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n here_o and_o in_o other_o place_n of_o scripture_n &_o namely_o isaiah_n 55._o saying_n ho_o every_o one_o that_o thirst_v come_v you_o unto_o the_o water_n &_o you_o that_o have_v no_o silver_n come_v buy_v &_o cat_n come_v i_o say_v

wine_n and_o milk_n that_o which_o he_o do_v by_o refresh_v &_o ease_n so_o he_o do_v it_o not_o without_o cause_n special_o as_o in_o regard_n of_o we_o who_o do_v not_o only_o understand_v outward_a thing_n better_a than_o inward_a but_o volesse_v that_o we_o be_v teach_v of_o the_o inward_a by_o the_o outward_a we_o can_v hardly_o comprehend_v they_o he_o not_o mean_v under_o these_o borrow_a term_n to_o signify_v that_o these_o outward_a be_v able_a to_o the_o full_a and_o as_o it_o be_v lively_a to_o set_v out_o the_o inward_a and_o spiritual_a for_o that_o
