more_o ravish_o tremble_v at_o the_o same_o threaten_n more_v tender_o and_o melt_o whereas_o the_o hypocrite_n be_v cloy_v with_o the_o word_n if_o it_o be_v not_o dish_v up_o to_o his_o palate_n but_o the_o saint_n palate_n be_v spiritualise_v to_o the_o word_n the_o hypocrite_n taste_v of_o sermon_n be_v flat_v by_o read_v of_o book_n but_o the_o saint_n taste_n be_v quicken_v by_o the_o

require_v to_o grapple_v with_o a_o little_a corruption_n a_o sin_n that_o be_v but_o little_a in_o compass_n have_v a_o great_a deal_n of_o weight_n in_o it_o as_o a_o bullet_n of_o lead_n that_o

unpleasant_a to_o they_o 2._o by_o lay_v burden_n on_o they_o great_a than_o their_o grace_n too_o heavy_a for_o their_o young_a grace_n to_o bear_v grace_n at_o the_o first_o birth_n be_v but_o

a_o new_a convert_n but_o a_o heavy_a one_o will_v break_v he_o now_o satan_n will_v lay_v heavy_a affliction_n upon_o young_a saint_n great_a burden_n upon_o little_a christian_n 2._o he_o tempt_v the_o saint_n a_o while_n after_o their_o conversion_n to_o security_n lukewarmness_n and_o worldliness_n you_o seldom_o see_v a_o new_a convert_v trouble_v with_o these_o sin_n for_o than_o they_o be_v altogether_o upon_o the_o wing_n they_o be_v new_o awaken_v out_o of_o sleep_n and_o therefore_o as_o a_o man_n that_o have_v sleep_v a_o long_a time_n and_o be_v awaken_v can_v sudden_o fall_v

they_o mind_v not_o the_o world_n they_o can_v do_v nothing_o but_o pray_v and_o hear_v and_o read_v and_o meditate_v for_o a_o while_o the_o business_n of_o the_o new_a life_n take_v they_o up_o but_o i_o say_v satan_n observe_v his_o time_n and_o when_o they_o have_v be_v up_o and_o spend_v a_o good_a part_n of_o the_o day_n than_o he_o tempt_v they_o to_o take_v a_o nap_n and_o after_o much_o exercise_n and_o glorious_a duty_n they_o fall_v asleep_a and_o grow_v secure_a thus_o the_o angel_n of_o the_o church_n of_o ephesus_n he_o leave_v his_o first_o love_n and_o the_o angel_n of_o the_o church_n of_o 15._o rev._n 2._o 4._o rev._n 3._o 15._o laodicea_n he_o become_v lukewarm_a and_o be_v neither_o hot_a nor_o cold_a 3._o satan_n tempt_v they_o into_o sin_n to_o the_o worst_a of_o sin_n that_o be_v satan_n delight_n to_o make_v the_o saint_n sin_n as_o david_n to_o adultery_n 1._o satan_n bring_v a_o saint_n into_o sin_n by_o make_v he_o confide_v in_o his_o habitual_a grace_n as_o if_o his_o inward_a grace_n be_v enough_o to_o carry_v he_o out_o against_o a_o temptation_n whereas_o have_v thou_o adam_n grace_n without_o effectual_a assistance_n from_o god_n it_o can_v not_o uphold_v thou_o against_o one_o assault_n thus_o he_o bring_v peter_n upon_o the_o stage_n by_o make_v he_o presume_v upon_o his_o inherent_a love_n to_o christ_n and_o so_o he_o fall_v and_o lose_v the_o day_n 2._o satan_n bring_v a_o saint_n into_o sin_n by_o make_v he_o confide_v in_o his_o former_a experience_n because_o he_o have_v overcome_v such_o a_o temptation_n and_o baffle_v such_o a_o lust_n therefore_o he_o think_v he_o can_v do_v it_o again_o or_o bear_v the_o shock_n of_o another_o temptation_n as_o strong_a but_o though_o former_a experience_n may_v be_v our_o comfort_n yet_o it_o be_v not_o our_o present_a support_n our_o stand_v for_o the_o future_a depend_v not_o on_o the_o former_a experience_n but_o on_o renew_v and_o corroborate_n grace_n from_o god_n 3._o satan_n tempt_v man_n into_o sin_n by_o represent_v the_o world_n to_o they_o in_o glory_n as_o satan_n take_v christ_n into_o a_o exceed_a high_a 8._o matth_n 4._o 8._o mountain_n and_o show_v he_o all_o the_o kingdom_n of_o the_o world_n and_o the_o glory_n of_o they_o satan_n can_v set_v a_o curious_a paint_n upon_o foul_a face_n he_o set_v a_o gloss_n upon_o the_o world_n and_o so_o man_n become_v covetous_a and_o self-seekers_a 4._o by_o blow_v up_o old_a lust_n to_o sparkle_v afresh_o as_o fire_v almost_o out_o may_v be_v blow_v into_o a_o flame_n like_a david_n be_v

be_v for_o god_n by_o make_v you_o intend_v it_o for_o the_o lord_n thus_o when_o israel_n make_v the_o golden_a calf_n and_o commit_v idolatry_n aaron_n make_v 5._o exod._n 32._o 5._o proclamation_n and_o say_v to_o morrow_n be_v a_o feast_n to_o the_o lord_n unto_o who_o a_o feast_n shall_v have_v be_v keep_v and_o to_o he_o they_o intend_v this_o their_o service_n see_v satan_n depth_n they_o commit_v idolatry_n and_o pretend_v it_o for_o service_n to_o the_o lord_n four_o satan_n tempt_v to_o duty_n you_o will_v think_v this_o a_o strange_a phrase_n that_o satan_n shall_v drive_v you_o to_o duty_n to_o pray_v or_o hear_v and_o that_o i_o shall_v call_v do_v duty_n a_o temptation_n 1._o thus_o satan_n tempt_v saul_n to_o duty_n to_o offer_v sacrifice_n he_o shall_v not_o have_v offer_v sacrifice_n till_o samuel_n come_v and_o satan_n 9_o 1_o sam._n 13._o 8_o 9_o tempt_v he_o to_o offer_v sacrifice_n before_o samuel_n come_v satan_n will_v tempt_v we_o to_o duty_n when_o it_o be_v not_o our_o duty_n when_o duty_n be_v a_o sin_n he_o will_v tempt_v we_o to_o it_o as_o sometime_o satan_n tempt_v to_o prayer_n when_o we_o shall_v not_o neglect_v our_o call_n sometime_o satan_n tempt_v to_o fast_v when_o we_o shall_v not_o neglect_v our_o body_n 2._o so_o he_o will_v tempt_v we_o to_o duty_n so_o as_o to_o make_v duty_n a_o cloak_n for_o sin_n as_o the_o israelite_n think_v they_o may_v take_v liberty_n to_o sin_n as_o long_o as_o they_o serve_v god_n in_o his_o new_a moon_n and_o sabbath_n and_o sacrifice_n and_o thus_o it_o be_v with_o many_o among_o we_o they_o presume_v the_o rather_o to_o sin_n because_o they_o think_v to_o make_v amends_o for_o it_o afterward_o by_o duty_n or_o by_o some_o good_a deed_n as_o prayer_n confession_n alm_n etc._n etc._n a_o horrible_a thing_n to_o think_v that_o god_n will_v be_v thus_o corrupt_v and_o make_v to_o wink_v at_o our_o sin_n but_o the_o great_a service_n will_v not_o excuse_v the_o least_o sin_n 3._o he_o will_v tempt_v we_o to_o duty_n when_o it_o be_v death_n to_o do_v the_o duty_n thus_o he_o tempt_v man_n to_o the_o sacrament_n when_o it_o be_v death_n
