be_v in_o our_o estimation_n we_o have_v of_o other_o &_o that_o be_v to_o honour_v they_o that_o fear_n god_n the_o five_o be_v in_o our_o word_n to_o swear_v and_o not_o to_o change_v that_o be_v to_o make_v conscience_n of_o our_o word_n and_o promise_n especial_o if_o it_o be_v confirm_v by_o oath_n the_o six_o be_v in_o take_v of_o gain_n not_o to_o give_v money_n to_o usury_n that_o be_v

be_v add_v a_o reason_n of_o the_o answer_n he_o that_o in_o his_o endeavour_n do_v all_o these_o thing_n shall_v never_o be_v move_v that_o be_v cut_v off_o from_o the_o church_n as_o a_o hypocrite_n the_o three_o place_n of_o scripture_n be_v the_o first_o epistle_n of_o john_n the_o principal_a scope_n whereof_o be_v to_o give_v a_o full_a resolution_n to_o the_o conscience_n of_o man_n touch_v the_o certainty_n of_o his_o salvation_n and_o the_o principal_a ground_n of_o assurance_n which_o be_v there_o lay_v down_o may_v be_v reduce_v to_o three_o head_n the_o first_o be_v this_o he_o that_o have_v communion_n or_o 11._o fellowship_n with_o god_n in_o christ_n may_v be_v undoubted_o assure_v of_o his_o salvation_n this_o conclusion_n be_v propound_v chap._n 1._o v._n 3._o 4._o where_o the_o apostle_n tell_v the_o church_n that_o the_o end_n of_o the_o preach_n of_o the_o gospel_n unto_o they_o be_v that_o they_o may_v have_v fellowship_n not_o only_o mutual_o among_o themselves_o but_o also_o with_o god_n the_o father_n and_o with_o his_o son_n jesus_n christ._n and_o further_o that_o have_v both_o knowledge_n and_o assurance_n of_o this_o heavenly_a communion_n to_o be_v begin_v in_o this_o life_n and_o perfect_v in_o the_o life_n to_o come_v their_o joy_n may_v be_v full_a that_o be_v they_o may_v thence_o reap_v matter_n of_o true_a joy_n and_o sound_a comfort_n unto_o their_o soul_n and_o conscience_n now_o whereas_o it_o may_v be_v haply_o demand_v by_o some_o believer_n how_o they_o shall_v come_v to_o this_o assurance_n s._n john_n answer_v in_o this_o epistle_n that_o the_o certainty_n thereof_o may_v be_v gather_v by_o four_o infallible_a note_n the_o first_o be_v remission_n of_o sin_n for_o though_o god_n be_v in_o himself_o most_o holy_a

the_o matter_n with_o god_n why_o his_o own_o people_n shall_v be_v so_o lamentable_o afflict_v by_o a_o terrible_a and_o a_o furious_a nation_n and_o why_o they_o shall_v be_v lead_v away_o captive_n by_o the_o chaldean_n the_o enemy_n of_o god_n to_o this_o the_o lord_n make_v answer_v that_o as_o he_o have_v certain_o determine_v that_o judgement_n to_o come_v upon_o they_o so_o certain_o have_v he_o appoint_v a_o set_a time_n wherein_o they_o shall_v be_v deliver_v in_o the_o mean_a while_n he_o bid_v they_o to_o comfort_v themselves_o in_o this_o that_o though_o the_o affliction_n shall_v rest_v upon_o they_o for_o a_o season_n yet_o undoubted_o they_o shall_v be_v case_v at_o the_o length_n and_o therefore_o that_o they_o shall_v in_o patience_n wait_v for_o the_o vision_n that_o be_v the_o accomplishment_n of_o the_o vision_n touch_v their_o deliverance_n second_o hence_o we_o learn_v that_o we_o must_v not_o only_o believe_v the_o promise_n of_o god_n in_o general_a that_o god_n be_v true_a and_o faithful_a in_o they_o and_o that_o he_o be_v able_a and_o willing_a to_o fulfil_v they_o even_o as_o he_o make_v they_o but_o we_o must_v believe_v they_o in_o particular_a that_o be_v with_o application_n to_o their_o proper_a and_o several_a circumstance_n which_o be_v the_o particular_a mean_n place_n and_o time_n whereby_o and_o wherein_o he_o have_v give_v his_o word_n as_o touch_v our_o freedom_n and_o exemption_n from_o the_o cross_n take_v a_o instance_n hereof_o in_o the_o prophet_n daniel_n who_o know_v well_o by_o the_o spirit_n of_o prophecy_n that_o the_o lord_n have_v determine_v to_o bring_v upon_o the_o jew_n 70._o year_n captivity_n in_o babylon_n he_o know_v also_o that_o god_n have_v promise_v to_o put_v a_o end_n to_o that_o captivity_n at_o the_o end_n and_o term_v of_o those_o year_n now_o what_o do_v daniel_n in_o this_o case_n upon_o knowledge_n of_o the_o will_n of_o god_n in_o that_o point_n during_o the_o say_a time_n he_o pray_v not_o 9_o unto_o the_o lord_n for_o deliverance_n of_o his_o people_n but_o when_o he_o understand_v that_o the_o time_n draw_v near_o wherein_o it_o be_v the_o will_n of_o god_n that_o the_o jew_n 2._o shall_v return_v out_o of_o captivity_n then_o by_o faith_n apply_v the_o promise_n of_o god_n to_o that_o particular_a time_n he_o beseech_v the_o lord_n in_o prayer_n and_o supplication_n with_o fast_v in_o sackcloth_n and_o ash_n and_o the_o lord_n give_v ear_n unto_o his_o prayer_n &_o yield_v he_o a_o gracious_a answer_n ii_o the_o second_o point_n be_v that_o god_n when_o he_o defer_v deliverance_n he_o do_v it_o upon_o great_a and_o weighty_a cause_n and_o consideration_n best_a know_v to_o himself_o the_o first_o whereof_o be_v that_o thereby_o he_o may_v humble_v man_n thorough_o and_o bring_v they_o to_o a_o utter_a denial_n of_o themselves_o and_o consequent_o cause_v they_o to_o learn_v patience_n in_o affliction_n which_o they_o will_v not_o learn_v if_o they_o may_v be_v their_o own_o carver_n and_o have_v speedy_a deliverance_n from_o the_o cross_n at_o their_o own_o will_n &_o pleasure_n second_o that_o be_v afflict_v they_o may_v acknowledge_v whence_o their_o deliverance_n come_v yea_o whence_o they_o do_v receive_v not_o only_o that_o but_o every_o other_o good_a benefit_n which_o they_o enjoy_v namely_o not_o from_o themselves_o or_o any_o creature_n but_o only_o from_o the_o lord_n and_o according_o may_v learn_v to_o value_n and_o prize_v his_o gift_n at_o their_o deserve_a excellency_n for_o it_o be_v a_o true_a say_n and_o often_o verify_v in_o affliction_n and_o want_n that_o benefit_n easy_o obtain_v be_v light_o regard_v and_o soon_o forget_v three_o that_o by_o the_o continuance_n of_o the_o cross_n without_o intermission_n he_o may_v make_v they_o to_o distaste_v the_o world_n and_o consequent_o draw_v they_o to_o the_o meditation_n of_o the_o life_n to_o come_v wherein_o all_o matter_n of_o mourning_n shall_v cease_v and_o 4._o all_o tear_n shall_v be_v wipe_v from_o their_o eye_n four_o the_o lord_n defer_v deliverance_n from_o affliction_n that_o he_o may_v prevent_v great_a evil_n and_o danger_n whereinto_o those_o that_o be_v afflict_v may_v run_v if_o they_o have_v their_o heart_n desire_v and_o be_v ease_v not_o at_o his_o will_n but_o at_o their_o own_o wish_n when_o the_o child_n of_o israel_n come_v into_o canaan_n they_o be_v inform_v that_o they_o shall_v dwell_v together_o with_o the_o canaanite_n and_o moses_n render_v a_o reason_n thereof_o lest_o say_v he_o the_o wild_a 28._o beast_n of_o the_o field_n multiply_v against_o thou_o and_o for_o 2d_o the_o prevent_n of_o this_o evil_n the_o israelite_n must_v endure_v some_o annoyance_n by_o the_o canaanite_n even_o so_o the_o lord_n keep_v his_o servant_n under_o the_o cross_n for_o the_o prevent_n of_o great_a sin_n and_o offence_n this_o shall_v stay_v the_o mind_n of_o man_n &_o make_v they_o content_a to_o wait_v upon_o god_n for_o deliverance_n when_o they_o be_v afflict_v the_o three_o and_o last_o point_n be_v that_o god_n always_o have_v and_o do_v exercise_v his_o best_a servant_n with_o long_a and_o continue_a cross_n abraham_n be_v childless_a till_o he_o be_v 70._o year_n of_o age_n and_o at_o those_o year_n the_o lord_n promise_v he_o issue_n but_o this_o promise_n be_v not_o accomplish_v till_o a_o long_a time_n after_o when_o he_o be_v a_o hundred_o year_n old_a david_n have_v a_o promise_n to_o be_v king_n of_o jerusalem_n and_o juda_n but_o the_o lord_n exercise_v he_o by_o many_o and_o grievous_a affliction_n before_o he_o come_v to_o the_o crown_n in_o so_o much_o that_o he_o say_v of_o himself_o that_o his_o eye_n fail_v with_o wait_v upon_o his_o god_n zacharie_n and_o elizabeth_n pray_v to_o god_n both_o of_o they_o in_o their_o youth_n and_o many_o year_n after_o for_o issue_n but_o the_o lord_n grant_v not_o their_o request_n till_o they_o be_v old_a to_o add_v no_o more_o example_n by_o these_o we_o see_v the_o lord_n deal_v even_o with_o holy_a man_n &_o woman_n his_o own_o dear_a servant_n that_o he_o do_v not_o always_o grant_v their_o request_n nor_o condescend_v to_o their_o desire_n at_o the_o first_o but_o as_o it_o be_v hold_v they_o off_o &_o suspend_v his_o grace_n and_o favour_n for_o a_o time_n and_o therefore_o if_o it_o shall_v please_v he_o thus_o to_o deal_v with_o any_o of_o we_o we_o must_v from_o these_o example_n be_v teach_v to_o possess_v our_o soul_n with_o patience_n rest_v content_v in_o his_o will_n and_o wait_v on_o his_o good_a pleasure_n to_o the_o end_n to_o conclude_v this_o point_n suppose_v that_o the_o condition_n of_o god_n servant_n be_v such_o as_o that_o they_o find_v no_o end_n of_o their_o

of_o the_o law_n for_o they_o do_v the_o good_a thing_n the_o law_n command_v as_o love_n god_n and_o their_o neighbour_n but_o they_o can_v attain_v to_o that_o measure_n of_o love_n which_o the_o
