A81634	Gospel-mysterie or, the great union that is betwixt Christ and the saints. From Cant. 2. 16. With a true way to discern a godly man from a carnal or ungodly man: and the way how the saints return after back-sliding. Also, the worth of a good conscience. By Robert Dornford.

of_o the_o act_n from_o ver_fw-la 19_o to_o the_o end_n the_o manner_n of_o a_o godly_a man_n return_n after_o some_o backslide_n from_o the_o way_n of_o god._n first_o experience_n tell_v i_o the_o heart_n be_v deceitful_a the_o old_a man_n be_v not_o whole_o crucify_v strive_v to_o ensnare_v our_o poor_a soul_n and_o many_o time_n get_v advantage_n and_o bring_v we_o to_o a_o lose_a condition_n i_o be_o sure_a in_o these_o day_n many_o a_o poor_a soul_n have_v even_o run_v himself_o off_o from_o holy_a duty_n and_o from_o the_o society_n of_o the_o saint_n and_o so_o have_v lie_v and_o not_o see_v his_o evil_n nay_o grow_v dead_a as_o it_o be_v and_o harden_v in_o it_o many_o such_o be_v return_v already_o and_o all_o the_o rest_n that_o be_v god_n will_v follow_v but_o before_o i_o go_v any_o further_a i_o shall_v show_v some_o of_o the_o reason_n or_o cause_n that_o have_v make_v this_o disorder_n which_o otherwise_o it_o be_v like_a might_n not_o have_v be_v the_o first_o cause_n be_v the_o terrible_a out-cry_n of_o some_o minister_n against_o all_o that_o separate_v from_o their_o national_a worship_n call_v they_o heretic_n blasphemer_n and_o such_o like_a call_v upon_o the_o parliament_n and_o magistrate_n to_o punish_v and_o destroy_v they_o with_o these_o ensue_a punishment_n 1._o with_o threaten_n and_o scourge_n 2._o with_o imprisonment_n 3._o with_o banishment_n 4._o with_o death_n this_o be_v common_a in_o their_o pulpit_n for_o which_o i_o be_o confident_a god_n will_v reckon_v with_o they_o because_o this_o be_v the_o first_o offence_n and_o the_o cause_n of_o much_o bitterness_n and_o true_o most_o of_o the_o reason_n that_o move_v they_o be_v fear_n that_o now_o they_o shall_v not_o keep_v the_o people_n in_o blindness_n and_o that_o their_o lordlike_o power_n will_v not_o stand_v over_o the_o conscience_n of_o man_n and_o the_o reason_n why_o i_o thus_o conclude_v be_v this_o because_o they_o only_o be_v the_o man_n that_o uphold_v formality_n how_o loath_a be_v they_o to_o part_v with_o their_o old_a relic_n nay_o we_o see_v that_o many_o of_o the_o grand_a father_n among_o they_o still_o wear_v their_o old_a weed_n the_o rag_n of_o prelacy_n will_v hardly_o come_v down_o nay_o that_o which_o be_v far_o worse_a their_o patch_v up_o a_o body_n for_o christ_n of_o their_o carnal_a hearer_n and_o call_v they_o his_o church_n and_o give_v they_o the_o ordinance_n of_o christ_n which_o be_v leave_v only_o for_o the_o saint_n the_o proof_n of_o which_o be_v so_o plain_a that_o none_o can_v deny_v and_o now_o it_o shall_v do_v well_o if_o you_o will_v look_v and_o see_v if_o your_o member_n be_v such_o as_o christ_n say_v his_o be_v john_n 15._o and_o see_v then_o what_o fruit_n they_o bear_v be_v not_o most_o of_o they_o mere_a sot_n in_o any_o thing_n of_o god_n have_v thou_o find_v a_o change_n in_o they_o do_v not_o thy_o conscience_n tell_v thou_o that_o not_o one_o of_o they_o be_v true_o godly_a what_o then_o have_v thou_o to_o do_v to_o give_v the_o child_n bread_n unto_o they_o and_o now_o one_o thing_n more_o i_o have_v observe_v from_o thou_o thou_o be_v overjoy_v to_o see_v any_o one_o that_o be_v not_o in_o thy_o form_n fall_v into_o sin_n thou_o never_o be_v trouble_v that_o god_n be_v dishonour_v by_o it_o neither_o do_v thou_o take_v notice_n of_o the_o daily_a wickedness_n commit_v by_o those_o of_o thy_o own_o form_n but_o this_o thou_o say_v this_o be_v one_o of_o the_o fellow_n under_o new_a light_n and_o so_o endeavoure_v to_o cast_v dirt_n on_o all_o and_o by_o such_o like_a course_n have_v thy_o way_n provoke_v many_o to_o slight_v thou_o and_o that_o just_o and_o envy_n and_o evil_n have_v be_v by_o thou_o procure_v even_o to_o the_o hurt_n of_o the_o saint_n woe_n be_v to_o he_o by_o who_o offence_n come_v 2._o another_o reason_n why_o many_o have_v backslide_v be_v because_o of_o many_o rot_a heart_n among_o themselves_o which_o always_o wait_v to_o find_v hole_n open_a that_o under_o some_o pretence_n they_o may_v run_v forth_o to_o sin_n and_o by_o this_o mean_v many_o be_v befool_v with_o they_o 3._o another_o be_v the_o rigidness_n of_o they_o under_o form_n so_o that_o there_o be_v no_o communion_n with_o they_o unless_o a_o man_n agree_v in_o every_o part_n of_o their_o judgement_n which_o many_o can_v not_o do_v and_o therefore_o be_v fain_o to_o withdraw_v from_o they_o and_o so_o to_o abide_v alone_o which_o have_v cause_v much_o evil_n but_o to_o return_v to_o the_o matter_n in_o hand_n it_o be_v truth_n many_o have_v back-slidden_a the_o question_n will_v be_v from_o what_o they_o do_v back_o sl●de_v answ_n it_o be_v from_o the_o way_n of_o god_n and_o in_o particular_a these_o from_o the_o communion_n of_o saint_n from_o holy_a duty_n as_o prayer_n and_o thanksgigiving_n and_o such_o like_a these_o have_v be_v neglect_v and_o read_v and_o meditate_v on_o the_o word_n of_o god_n or_o that_o there_o have_v be_v a_o yield_n to_o some_o sin_n or_o that_o there_o have_v not_o be_v that_o watchfulness_n over_o the_o heart_n and_o lip_n as_o there_o ought_v these_o be_v the_o thing_n both_o omit_v and_o commit_v now_o a_o godly_a man_n lie_v not_o here_o but_o he_o return_v and_o the_o manner_n how_o he_o do_v return_v here_o follow_v first_o god_n bring_v he_o to_o see_v the_o evil_n of_o it_o as_o in_o jeremy_n 31._o 19_o and_o then_o the_o heart_n be_v ashamed_a and_o repent_v for_o what_o have_v past_a and_o it_o work_v in_o he_o a_o revenge_n against_o sin_n and_o a_o search_n of_o the_o heart_n there_o shall_v no_o sin_n now_o lie_v in_o quiet_a he_o belong_v now_o for_o the_o way_n of_o god_n and_o he_o see_v what_o it_o be_v to_o want_v communion_n with_o the_o saint_n and_o now_o he_o belong_v for_o it_o again_o and_o love_v they_o dear_o where_o he_o see_v fruitfulness_n in_o grace_n again_o his_o heart_n be_v much_o for_o holy_a duty_n he_o will_v keep_v close_o to_o god_n by_o prayer_n his_o soul_n belong_v for_o communion_n and_o fellowship_n with_o his_o god_n as_o david_n say_v his_o soul_n pant_v for_o god_n and_o long_v to_o enjoy_v more_o of_o he_o he_o see_v his_o own_o nothingness_n and_o weakness_n and_o he_o fly_v whole_o to_o the_o lord_n christ_n he_o dare_v not_o trust_v himself_o any_o more_o his_o delight_n be_v in_o the_o law_n of_o his_o god_n as_o david_n say_v and_o this_o be_v the_o manner_n how_o a_o backslider_n return_v to_o god_n and_o his_o way_n i_o shall_v only_o add_v a_o word_n or_o two_o more_o and_o that_o shall_v be_v of_o advice_n 1._o to_o those_o that_o be_v not_o yet_o return_v but_o be_v still_o in_o a_o backslide_n condition_n come_v off_o now_o and_o lie_v not_o in_o this_o sad_a lukewarm_a condition_n and_o mind_n what_o christ_n say_v in_o rev._n 3._o v._n 15_o 16_o 17._o think_v it_o no_o small_a matter_n to_o be_v lukewarm_a in_o the_o way_n of_o god_n and_o godliness_n lest_o thou_o be_v spew_v out_o of_o his_o mouth_n 2._o to_o those_o that_o have_v see_v the_o evil_a of_o it_o let_v this_o also_o advise_v thou_o that_o thou_o keep_v close_o now_o to_o thy_o god_n and_o the_o way_n of_o godliness_n thou_o see_v that_o it_o be_v not_o in_o vain_a to_o serve_v thy_o god_n set_v about_o it_o then_o with_o a_o perfect_a heart_n and_o keep_v a_o narrow_a watch_n that_o thou_o be_v no_o more_o ensnare_v let_v it_o appear_v of_o a_o truth_n that_o the_o power_n of_o god_n and_o godliness_n be_v in_o thou_o a_o short_a treatise_n wherein_o be_v contain_v 1._o the_o worth_n of_o a_o
