A86423	A treatise containing three things. Viz. [3 braces] 1. A discovery of the unsupportable burthen of sinne, to a heart that is saint-like sensible of sin. 2. The restlesse resolution of a soule to returne to God, who is saint-like sensible of his withdrawings. 3. A discovery of the sweet and unexpected entertainment that wandring hearts meet with in their returnes to God. / Written by Lieutenant Collonel Paul Hobson.	Hobson, Paul.	1653 (1653)	Wing H2276; Thomason E1479_3; ESTC R208731	63,513	154

that_o which_o be_v at_o this_o time_n most_o sensible_a in_o my_o heart_n to_o speak_v to_o you_o from_o what_o god_n have_v speak_v to_o i_o in_o my_o present_a condition_n be_v three_o thing_n the_o first_o be_v a_o discovery_n of_o the_o unsupportable_a burden_n of_o sin_n when_o discover_v by_o the_o light_n of_o god_n love_n second_o the_o restless_a resolution_n of_o a_o saint_n when_o he_o be_v saintlike_a sensible_a of_o his_o withdraw_n from_o god_n to_o turn_v to_o god_n three_o the_o gracious_a and_o sweet_a entertainment_n the_o soul_n find_v with_o god_n when_o that_o he_o be_v bring_v home_o and_o i_o shall_v declare_v it_o from_o three_o portion_n of_o scripture_n the_o first_o from_o psalm_n the_o 38._o and_o the_o 4_o verse_n the_o second_o from_o psalm_n the_o 11_o 6_o and_o the_o 7_o verse_n the_o three_o from_o luke_n the_o 15_o and_o the_o 20_o verse_n but_o i_o shall_v begin_v with_o the_o first_o at_o this_o opportunity_n psalm_n the_o 38._o and_o the_o 4_o verse_n for_o my_o iniquity_n be_v go_v over_o my_o head_n as_o a_o heavy_a burden_n they_o be_v too_o heavy_a for_o i_o dear_a friend_n this_o scripture_n i_o have_v former_o view_v and_o have_v former_o speak_v something_o from_o it_o but_o i_o be_o now_o constrain_v to_o declare_v what_o god_n have_v preach_v to_o i_o for_o he_o have_v be_v please_v through_o a_o discovery_n of_o my_o unsutablenes_n and_o my_o unkindness_n by_o which_o he_o have_v not_o only_o break_v my_o bone_n but_o he_o have_v leave_v no_o soundness_n in_o my_o flesh_n i_o do_v not_o mean_v by_o flesh_n fleshly_a nature_n but_o all_o the_o fleshline_v of_o my_o own_o righteousness_n by_o which_o former_o i_o refresh_v myself_o with_o the_o spark_n of_o my_o own_o performance_n and_o refresh_v myself_o with_o the_o peace_n and_o tranquillity_n i_o gather_v from_o thence_o but_o now_o my_o wound_n be_v too_o large_a to_o be_v heal_v with_o such_o a_o salve_n but_o no_o more_o of_o that_o but_o to_o the_o word_n and_o in_o they_o you_o may_v consider_v in_o general_a a_o affirmation_n wherein_o you_o may_v first_o consider_v the_o partic_a affirm_v that_o be_v david_n second_o the_o affirmation_n itself_o that_o be_v twofold_a first_o that_o his_o iniquity_n be_v go_v over_o his_o head_n second_o they_o be_v a_o heavy_a burden_n too_o heavy_a for_o he_o three_o you_o may_v consider_v the_o time_n when_o it_o be_v when_o god_n have_v show_v he_o so_o much_o of_o his_o own_o nothingnes_n that_o he_o have_v nothing_o leave_v to_o live_v upon_o beside_o free_a love_n there_o be_v no_o rest_n in_o his_o bone_n nor_o no_o soundness_n in_o his_o flesh_n by_o bone_n and_o flesh_n we_o be_v not_o to_o understand_v it_o natural_o but_o spiritual_o and_o by_o flesh_n we_o be_v to_o understand_v it_o in_o a_o double_a sense_n according_a to_o these_o scripture_n galatian_n the_o 5._o and_o the_o 19_o verse_n gal._n the_o 6._o and_o the_o 12_o verse_n philippian_n the_o 3._o and_o the_o 3_o and_o 4_o verse_n dear_a friend_n we_o may_v observe_v a_o conclusion_n from_o the_o party_n affirm_v the_o affirmation_n itself_o and_o the_o time_n when_o and_o the_o manner_n how_o but_o we_o shall_v draw_v up_o all_o into_o one_o conclusion_n and_o that_o be_v this_o doct._n that_o sin_n to_o a_o saint_n like_o sensible_a heart_n be_v a_o unsupportable_a burden_n in_o the_o prosecution_n the_o conclusion_n observe_v these_o four_o thing_n first_o the_o proof_n of_o it_o by_o scripture_n second_o consider_v what_o sin_n be_v three_o what_o a_o saintlike_a sensible_a heart_n be_v four_o the_o reason_n why_o sin_n to_o a_o saintlike_a sensible_a heart_n be_v a_o unsupportable_a burden_n first_o the_o scripture_n to_o prove_v the_o conclusion_n be_v these_o in_o the_o first_o place_n view_v the_o text_n which_o clear_o confirm_v the_o truth_n of_o the_o conclusion_n further_n see_v roman_n the_o 7_o and_o the_o 24_o verse_n how_o paul_n cry_v out_o as_o a_o restless_a man_n under_o the_o sense_n of_o sin_n you_o may_v further_o see_v psal_n 51._o the_o 1_o 2_o 3._o and_o 4_o verse_n jeremiah_n the_o 3._o and_o the_o 25_o verse_n lamentation_n the_o 5._o the_o 15_o 16_o 17_o verse_n all_o which_o do_v discover_v how_o unsupportable_a the_o burden_n of_o sin_n be_v to_o a_o heart_n that_o be_v saintlike_a sensible_a of_o sin_n dear_a friend_n we_o need_v not_o much_o proof_n to_o he_o that_o know_v it_o as_o i_o be_o confident_a every_o heart_n that_o be_v acquaint_v with_o god_n have_v sufficient_a experience_n of_o this_o to_o confirm_v it_o the_o daily_a heart-breaking_n in_o that_o soul_n who_o be_v sensible_a of_o his_o own_o unkindness_n by_o read_v god_n kindness_n do_v demonstrate_v it_o but_o i_o shall_v add_v no_o more_o but_o this_o that_o heart_n which_o need_v confirmation_n of_o this_o truth_n without_o himself_o and_o have_v not_o a_o sufficient_a proof_n within_o himself_o his_o condition_n be_v sad_a second_o let_v we_o consider_v what_o sin_n be_v and_o in_o that_o consideration_n we_o will_v consider_v three_o thing_n first_o the_o nature_n of_o sin_n second_o the_o concomitant_n of_o sin_n and_o three_o the_o effect_n first_o what_o be_v sin_n the_o apostle_n tell_v you_o in_o the_o first_o epistle_n of_o john_n the_o 3_o chap._n and_o the_o 4_o verse_n that_o sin_n be_v the_o transgression_n of_o the_o law_n have_v there_o be_v no_o law_n there_o have_v be_v no_o sin_n the_o variation_n from_o a_o law_n be_v sin_n to_o speak_v out_o the_o nature_n of_o sin_n be_v almost_o as_o impossible_a as_o to_o speak_v out_o the_o nature_n of_o god_n for_o sin_n in_o all_o thing_n be_v contrary_a to_o god_n whatsoever_o you_o can_v say_v of_o darkness_n of_o death_n of_o hell_n and_o devil_n you_o may_v say_v of_o sin_n sin_n comprehend_v all_o and_o be_v one_o with_o either_o john_n in_o the_o revelation_n tell_v we_o of_o the_o depth_n of_o satan_n temptation_n 2.24_o revel_v 2.24_o which_o temptation_n peradventure_o be_v but_o the_o limb_n of_o the_o least_o lust_n oh_o what_o a_o depth_n be_v there_o then_o in_o the_o whole_a body_n whatsoever_o happiness_n and_o glory_n be_v see_v in_o light_n the_o contrary_a be_v find_v in_o darkness_n whatsoever_o content_a and_o freedom_n you_o find_v in_o love_n &_o light_n the_o contrary_a misery_n and_o bondage_n you_o find_v in_o death_n but_o the_o perfection_n of_o all_o these_o misery_n be_v comprehend_v in_o sin_n as_o the_o body_n of_o they_o both_o that_o heart_n which_o be_v most_o sensible_a of_o sin_n be_v not_o able_a to_o speak_v out_o the_o nature_n of_o sin_n but_o i_o know_v that_o that_o heart_n which_o be_v saintlike_a sensible_a of_o sin_n and_o do_v see_v sin_n to_o present_v himself_o as_o it_o do_v so_o ugly_a in_o his_o own_o eye_n think_v sin_n can_v never_o be_v present_v ugly_a enough_o and_o especial_o because_o they_o see_v that_o in_o sin_v they_o do_v not_o only_o cross_a law_n but_o love_n they_o do_v not_o only_o pierce_v paper_n but_o the_o precious_a tender_n of_o grace_n &_o love_n zech._n 10._o it_o be_v endless_a &_o boundless_a to_o anatomize_v the_o nature_n of_o that_o where_o not_o so_o much_o as_o nature_n dwell_v but_o be_v enslave_v by_o it_o second_o consider_v the_o concomitant_n of_o sin_n there_o be_v many_o but_o i_o shall_v only_o present_v so_o many_o of_o they_o as_o it_o at_o present_a in_o my_o own_o view_n first_o it_o be_v that_o which_o draw_v a_o dark_a cloud_n over_o a_o man_n eye_n and_o hinder_v he_o in_o his_o clear_a behold_v of_o god_n though_o a_o christian_a have_v never_o so_o glorious_a a_o view_n of_o divine_a light_n &_o love_n that_o live_v in_o god_n if_o god_n suffer_v that_o heart_n to_o be_v paddle_v and_o meddle_v with_o sin_n and_o darkness_n 6._o isa_n 59.2_o psal_n 30.7_o cant._n 5.2_o 3_o 4_o 5_o 6._o and_o then_o the_o heart_n go_v expect_v to_o view_n god_n as_o before_o though_o god_n be_v as_o he_o be_v before_o a_o unalterable_a god_n yet_o there_o be_v a_o thick_a mist_n draw_v upon_o the_o eye_n that_o he_o be_v like_o a_o man_n in_o a_o mist_n and_o know_v not_o where_o he_o be_v nor_o what_o he_o see_v just_o like_o a_o man_n who_o eye_n be_v fix_v upon_o the_o sun_n and_o there_o he_o behold_v glorious_a object_n than_o take_v they_o off_o from_o that_o sun_n and_o look_n upon_o the_o earth_n and_o then_o go_v to_o look_v up_o to_o the_o sun_n again_o his_o eye_n dazzle_v that_o he_o can_v see_v neither_o though_o it_o be_v true_a it_o be_v not_o the_o glory_n that_o we_o view_v in_o god_n that_o cover_v our_o eye_n but_o rather_o the_o thick_a mist_n that_o intercept_v our_o view_n of_o that_o unchangeable_a object_n and_o therefore_o the_o example_n of_o

the_o condition_n of_o many_o saint_n but_o yet_o in_o answer_n to_o this_o belove_a friend_n i_o will_v have_v you_o consider_v these_o thing_n first_o though_o it_o be_v our_o duty_n and_o with_o it_o our_o refreshment_n to_o lay_v hold_n upon_o and_o to_o make_v application_n of_o jesus_n christ_n yet_o our_o happiness_n lie_v more_o in_o christ_n lay_v hold_n of_o we_o 24._o we_o joh._n 15.16_o jud._n 24._o 1_o john_n 4.10_o second_o it_o be_v god_n way_n many_o time_n to_o leave_v his_o people_n without_o the_o sensitive_a part_n of_o their_o comfort_n and_o though_o they_o do_v believe_v and_o do_v know_v and_o do_v see_v yet_o they_o be_v many_o time_n leave_v without_o power_n to_o be_v sensible_a they_o 5.13_o they_o hos_fw-la 11.3_o 1_o joh._n 5.13_o see_v that_o so_o in_o the_o close_a they_o may_v be_v bring_v off_o from_o live_v upon_o their_o own_o know_v and_o see_v god_n and_o make_v to_o live_v upon_o god_n know_v and_o see_v they_o three_o many_o time_n the_o people_n of_o god_n be_v hinder_v in_o apply_v christ_n and_o promise_n because_o they_o look_v upon_o they_o through_o a_o wrong_a glass_n viz._n through_o their_o own_o righteousness_n and_o goodness_n and_o when_o that_o seem_v dead_a their_o eye_n grow_v dim_a for_o there_o be_v so_o much_o penurious_a proceed_n in_o the_o best_a of_o saint_n that_o they_o will_v not_o nor_o dare_v not_o touch_v a_o promise_n without_o holy_a hand_n and_o holy_a heart_n whereas_o we_o be_v not_o to_o believe_v because_o we_o be_v holy_a but_o we_o be_v to_o believe_v be_v unholy_a that_o we_o may_v be_v holy_a i_o now_o remember_v what_o mr_n hocker_n say_v in_o the_o same_o case_n concern_v the_o hindrance_n that_o christian_n meet_v with_o in_o apply_v promise_n it_o be_v with_o they_o say_v he_o as_o with_o a_o man_n that_o go_v to_o take_v a_o staff_n in_o his_o hand_n if_o he_o put_v the_o back_n of_o his_o hand_n to_o the_o staff_n he_o can_v hold_v it_o till_o he_o put_v it_o in_o the_o palm_n of_o his_o hand_n so_o it_o be_v with_o the_o people_n of_o god_n when_o they_o go_v to_o a_o promise_n they_o go_v to_o lay_v hold_n on_o it_o with_o the_o back_n side_n of_o the_o hand_n of_o faith_n and_o that_o they_o do_v these_o way_n first_o when_o they_o look_v upon_o themselves_o as_o they_o be_v in_o themselves_o and_o not_o look_v upon_o themselves_o as_o they_o be_v in_o christ_n in_o themselves_o they_o be_v altogether_o unworthy_a in_o christ_n they_o be_v worthy_a in_o themselves_o they_o be_v black_a in_o christ_n they_o 5.27_o they_o can._n 1.8_o eph._n 5.27_o be_v comely_a second_o so_o they_o also_o do_v when_o they_o endeavour_v to_o go_v to_o christ_n through_o a_o promise_n and_o not_o to_o a_o promise_n through_o christ_n wherein_o they_o move_v by_o their_o own_o strength_n and_o that_o be_v their_o backside_n and_o not_o by_o the_o power_n of_o christ_n which_o be_v proper_o the_o hand_n to_o lead_v they_o to_o the_o heart_n of_o all_o promise_n he_o be_v the_o sum_n of_o every_o promise_n and_o all_o promise_n be_v sum_v up_o in_o he_o in_o he_o we_o enjoy_v every_o one_o and_o without_o he_o we_o enjoy_v never_o a_o one_o if_o you_o will_v know_v what_o a_o promise_n be_v i_o shall_v discover_v my_o thought_n in_o this_o general_a term_n that_o include_v all_o a_o promise_n be_v the_o declaration_n of_o god_n good_a will_n christ_n be_v the_o principal_a declarer_fw-la and_o he_o be_v also_o the_o thing_n declare_v and_o so_o he_o be_v the_o sum_n of_o promise_n and_o in_o that_o sense_n promise_n be_v sum_v up_o in_o he_o three_o we_o be_v say_v to_o go_v with_o the_o backside_n of_o the_o hand_n to_o a_o promise_n when_o we_o so_o look_v upon_o corruption_n in_o we_o that_o we_o dare_v not_o apply_v promise_n of_o life_n but_o as_o we_o see_v sin_n die_v and_o do_v not_o endeavour_n to_o apply_v promise_n that_o sin_n which_o be_v alive_a may_v die_v and_o therefore_o dear_a friend_n in_o the_o close_a of_o this_o remember_v two_o or_o three_o thing_n that_o experience_n have_v and_o experience_n will_v confirm_v to_o all_o believer_n first_o none_o apply_v christ_n till_o christ_n lay_v hold_v on_o he_o 1_o joh._n 4.19_o second_o that_o no_o heart_n bring_v any_o holiness_n to_o christ_n but_o what_o they_o first_o have_v from_o a_o promise_n in_o christ_n three_o it_o be_v not_o god_n way_n for_o we_o to_o conquer_v sin_n and_o then_o believe_v but_o to_o conquer_v sin_n through_o believe_v 1_o john_n 5.4_o four_o if_o the_o apprehension_n of_o sin_n get_v some_o strength_n do_v occasion_n a_o saint_n by_o fear_n to_o weaken_v faith_n that_o give_v not_o less_o but_o more_o strength_n to_o sin_n but_o it_o be_v christ_n way_n to_o kill_v sin_n through_o believe_v therefore_o belove_a friend_n let_v i_o beg_v of_o you_o to_o be_v very_o serious_a in_o weigh_v the_o worth_n of_o god_n tender_n and_o also_o the_o way_n of_o god_n tender_n and_o know_v this_o as_o it_o be_v dangerous_a for_o man_n under_o the_o notion_n of_o believe_v free_a grace_n to_o give_v way_n to_o sin_n so_o it_o be_v dangerous_a to_o stay_v from_o believe_a grace_n till_o we_o conquer_v sin_n pray_v take_v notice_n that_o god_n bring_v fullness_n to_o emptiness_n and_o light_a to_o darkness_n and_o life_n to_o death_n and_o goodness_n to_o 40.29_o to_o matth._n 11_o 28._o rom._n 5.6_o isa_n 40.29_o unworthiness_n therefore_o there_o be_v no_o soul_n so_o empty_a and_o so_o poor_a and_o so_o unworthy_a and_o so_o sinful_a but_o there_o be_v enough_o in_o christ_n to_o answer_v all_o and_o dear_a friend_n take_v heed_n that_o you_o do_v not_o penurious_o stand_v out_o and_o say_v you_o will_v make_v yourselves_o fit_a before_o you_o come_v to_o christ_n that_o kind_n of_o humility_n be_v great_a pride_n and_o you_o endeavour_v to_o do_v that_o which_o be_v endless_a and_o easeless_a therefore_o consider_v as_o the_o promise_n and_o your_o need_n of_o a_o promise_n so_o consider_v the_o way_n how_o to_o apply_v a_o promise_n and_o do_v not_o endeavour_v to_o take_v hold_n of_o the_o staff_n with_o the_o back_n of_o your_o hand_n but_o the_o palm_n and_o for_o that_o end_n serious_o mind_n what_o have_v be_v say_v and_o the_o lord_n give_v we_o to_o understand_v the_o truth_n as_o it_o be_v in_o jesus_n but_o i_o shall_v say_v no_o more_o in_o answer_n to_o this_o objection_n nor_o to_o the_o text_n at_o this_o time_n though_o there_o be_v many_o other_o use_n may_v be_v make_v of_o it_o but_o i_o shall_v only_o at_o this_o time_n conclude_v with_o the_o word_n in_o the_o conclusion_n which_o be_v that_o sin_n to_o a_o saintlike_a sensible_a heart_n be_v a_o unsupportable_a burden_n the_o restless_a resolution_n of_o a_o soul_n to_o return_v to_o god_n who_o be_v sonlike_a sensible_a of_o his_o withdraw_n withdrawing_n from_o god_n be_v dangerous_a dear_a friend_n i_o tell_v you_o before_o that_o my_o desire_n be_v to_o discover_v to_o you_o three_o thing_n first_o how_o unsupportable_a sin_n be_v to_o a_o heart_n that_o be_v make_v sensible_a second_o how_o restless_a a_o heart_n be_v that_o be_v sensible_a of_o his_o withdrawing_n from_o god_n till_o he_o do_v return_v to_o god_n of_o the_o first_o i_o have_v already_o speak_v i_o be_o now_o to_o enter_v upon_o the_o second_o and_o of_o that_o i_o shall_v desire_v to_o speak_v suitable_a to_o what_o god_n have_v make_v know_v in_o i_o and_o that_o scripture_n which_o i_o desire_v to_o speak_v it_o from_o be_v psalm_n the_o 116._o and_o the_o 7._o verse_n return_v unto_o thy_o rest_n o_o my_o soul_n for_o the_o lord_n have_v deal_v bountiful_o with_o thou_o in_o which_o word_n you_o may_v consider_v in_o general_n two_o thing_n 1._o a_o

the_o lord_n have_v deal_v bountiful_o with_o thou_o in_o the_o exhortation_n we_o may_v consider_v several_a thing_n first_o the_o party_n exhort_v that_o be_v david_n second_o the_o party_n exhort_v that_o be_v his_o soul_n o_o my_o soul_n three_o the_o exhortation_n itself_o return_v in_o which_o exhortation_n there_o be_v something_o employ_v beside_o what_o be_v express_v the_o thing_n imply_v
