exceed_o merciful_a as_o sometime_o to_o disgrace_v a_o base_a colour_n or_o to_o make_v a_o colour_n that_o be_v perfect_a indeed_o to_o appear_v more_o beautiful_a and_o orient_a we_o set_v by_o

of_o the_o new_a testament_n it_o be_v repeat_v by_o the_o apostle_n heb._n 8._o how_o comfortable_a and_o full_a of_o sweet_a promise_n be_v that_o after_o those_o day_n say_v the_o lord_n i_o will_v

into_o the_o world_n to_o save_v sinner_n of_o who_o i_o be_o the_o chief_a may_v we_o not_o of_o these_o and_o thousand_o such_o like_a say_v as_o the_o apostle_n peter_n do_v that_o most_o great_a &_o precious_a promise_n be_v give_v unto_o we_o &_o that_o even_o for_o that_o end_n which_o he_o express_v there_o namely_o that_o by_o they_o we_o shall_v be_v partaker_n of_o the_o divine_a nature_n while_o we_o fly_v the_o corruption_n that_o be_v in_o the_o world_n through_o lust_n be_v not_o these_o great_a promise_n and_o may_v just_o be_v so_o call_v because_o they_o proceed_v from_o the_o great_a god_n &_o propound_v unto_o we_o great_a and_o excellent_a matter_n may_v we_o not_o esteem_v they_o precious_a not_o only_o for_o the_o rarity_n and_o excellency_n of_o they_o but_o also_o because_o they_o underprop_v our_o precious_a faith_n be_v we_o not_o make_v in_o a_o double_a respect_n by_o they_o partaker_n of_o the_o divine_a nature_n 1._o that_o as_o in_o regard_n god_n be_v joyful_a and_o cheerful_a we_o be_v also_o become_v comfortable_a and_o replenish_v with_o spiritual_a joy_n 2._o that_o as_o be_v cease_v from_o sin_n and_o be_v continual_o occupy_v in_o well_o do_v so_o we_o learn_v thereby_o in_o our_o measure_n and_o manner_n to_o die_v the_o death_n of_o sin_n and_o to_o live_v the_o l●fe_n of_o righteousness_n what_o other_o man_n may_v think_v i_o know_v not_o but_o to_o i_o it_o seem_v that_o god_n thus_o in_o his_o word_n set_v promise_n against_o sin_n mind_v nothing_o else_o but_o to_o show_v that_o as_o sin_n be_v it_o that_o most_o sting_v the_o conscience_n so_o the_o mean_a to_o heal_v that_o bite_a as_o if_o it_o be_v the_o brazen_a serpent_n set_v up_o to_o cure_v the_o bytinge_n of_o fiery_a serpent_n &_o to_o bring_v comfort_n against_o the_o same_o be_v the_o promise_n of_o god_n propound_v unto_o we_o in_o the_o word_n and_o selt_z in_o our_o heart_n by_o faith_n and_o this_o be_v so_o plain_a and_o evident_a a_o truth_n that_o even_o there_o where_o god_n seem_v most_o to_o terrify_v i_o mean_v in_o denounce_v the_o threat_n of_o his_o law_n or_o judgment_n against_o sin_n he_o yet_o think_v upon_o not_o only_o his_o mercy_n in_o himself_o but_o as_o it_o be_v manifest_v unto_o man_n he_o even_o there_o either_o plain_o express_v promise_n of_o blessing_n grace_n and_o favour_n or_o else_o

no_o eye_n have_v see_v no_o ear_n have_v hear_v no_o heart_n can_v conceive_v nor_o tongue_n can_v utter_v but_o by_o they_o so_o well_o sort_v with_o our_o nature_n to_o give_v we_o some_o sight_n

express_v unto_o we_o such_o excellent_a thing_n but_o yet_o let_v we_o a_o little_a more_o particular_o examine_v the_o word_n that_o word_n that_o be_v here_o term_a labour_n do_v not_o signify_v simple_o every_o labour_n but_o such_o a_o labour_n as_o be_v sore_o and_o have_v join_v with_o it_o toil_a of_o the_o body_n and_o moil_a of_o the_o mind_n with_o cark_n and_o care_n yea_o and_o

weary_a whatsoever_o it_o be_v we_o may_v see_v that_o christ_n mind_v by_o this_o metaphor_n to_o express_v this_o much_o unto_o we_o that_o distress_n of_o spirit_n upon_o what_o cause_n soever_o it_o arise_v and_o conflict_n of_o conscience_n be_v no_o small_a pain_n but_o a_o great_a and_o grievous_a sorrow_n enter_v deep_a into_o the_o soul_n disquiet_v the_o spirit_n distemper_a the_o body_n and_o make_v all_o part_n and_o power_n unfit_a for_o all_o or_o any_o duty_n almost_o and_o this_o to_o be_v true_a the_o scripture_n elsewhere_o show_v it_o and_o namely_o prou._n 18._o where_o it_o say_v the_o spirit_n of_o a_o man_n may_v endure_v his_o infirmity_n but_o a_o wound_a spirit_n who_o shall_v bear_v it_o and_o our_o own_o experience_n can_v witness_v it_o if_o either_o we_o have_v be_v humble_v ourselves_o or_o have_v be_v acquaint_v with_o other_o man_n sorrow_n that_o way_n in_o who_o it_o have_v take_v away_o for_o the_o time_n sleep_n from_o the_o eye_n hear_v from_o the_o ear_n speech_n from_o the_o mouth_n appetite_n from_o the_o stomach_n nay_o i_o will_v say_v more_o it_o have_v cause_v some_o to_o assay_v the_o finish_n of_o their_o pain_n as_o they_o suppose_v with_o a_o shameful_a &_o fearful_a end_n have_v it_o be_v accomplish_v which_o yet_o notwithstanding_o be_v not_o speak_v here_o or_o propound_v elsewhere_o unto_o we_o in_o the_o word_n to_o discourage_v or_o oppress_v they_o that_o be_v in_o that_o combat_n but_o as_o on_o the_o one_o side_n to_o teach_v all_o man_n to_o cast_v away_o security_n and_o carelessness_n so_o on_o the_o other_o side_n to_o instruct_v they_o that_o be_v so_o weak_a in_o themselves_o to_o rely_v upon_o he_o that_o be_v the_o god_n of_o their_o strength_n who_o be_v in_o they_o and_o with_o they_o and_o for_o they_o will_v doubtless_o make_v his_o strength_n and_o power_n to_o appear_v in_o their_o weakness_n that_o other_o word_n heavy_a lade_v be_v metaphorical_a also_o and_o translate_v from_o bodily_a burden_n unto_o spiritual_a that_o be_v to_o say_v to_o the_o burden_n of_o sin_n and_o iniquity_n which_o lie_v more_o hard_a upon_o the_o soul_n and_o spirit_n though_o worldly_a man_n feel_v they_o not_o than_o any_o outward_a do_v or_o can_v upon_o the_o body_n yea_o though_o a_o man_n shall_v be_v press_v therewithal_o unto_o death_n because_o that_o only_o reach_v unto_o the_o body_n and_o in_o the_o midst_n of_o the_o pain_n thereof_o the_o soul_n little_a or_o nothing_o touch_v nay_o it_o may_v be_v very_o cheerful_a and_o comfortable_a spiritual_o and_o so_o cause_v the_o soul_n almost_o to_o find_v no_o grief_n as_o in_o the_o martyr_n that_o have_v be_v so_o many_o way_n and_o so_o grievous_o torment_v may_v and_o do_v appear_v but_o when_o the_o soul_n be_v overclogged_a with_o sin_n and_o the_o sense_n thereof_o or_o of_o god_n anger_n against_o it_o for_o the_o same_o the_o very_a body_n be_v taint_v thereby_o with_o sundry_a sort_n of_o sickness_n and_o diverse_a kind_n of_o disease_n some_o recoverable_a and_o some_o unrecoverable_a and_o we_o shall_v find_v it_o much_o use_v in_o the_o scripture_n that_o sin_n itself_o be_v compare_v unto_o a_o burden_n which_o may_v in_o part_n appear_v not_o only_o by_o this_o when_o the_o prophet_n call_v the_o judgement_n of_o god_n that_o shall_v fall_v upon_o man_n for_o their_o sin_n burden_n that_o so_o there_o may_v be_v some_o proportion_n between_o the_o iniquity_n they_o have_v commit_v &_o the_o punishment_n that_o be_v execute_v upon_o they_o for_o it_o but_o also_o by_o a_o plain_a place_n of_o the_o prophet_n david_n in_o that_o eight_o &_o thirty_o psalm_n that_o we_o sing_v before_o this_o sermon_n when_o he_o say_v my_o iniquity_n be_v go_v over_o my_o head_n and_o as_o a_o weighty_a burden_n they_o be_v too_o heavy_a for_o i_o to_o bear_v by_o all_o which_o we_o may_v see_v that_o sin_n be_v not_o so_o slight_a or_o light_v a_o matter_n as_o man_n make_v it_o but_o a_o wonderful_a weight_n indeed_o whether_o we_o consider_v it_o in_o it_o own_o nature_n as_o be_v the_o fearful_a violation_n &_o breach_n of_o the_o law_n of_o god_n or_o god_n that_o be_v offend_v
