that_o be_v subject_a to_o faint_v and_o droop_v in_o respect_n of_o the_o affliction_n that_o be_v likely_a or_o at_o least_o seem_v to_o be_v likely_a to_o grow_v upon_o the_o church_n of_o christ_n fear_v not_o be_v not_o dismay_v i_o be_o thy_o god_n i_o be_o with_o thou_o in_o the_o word_n there_o be_v two_o general_n very_o remarkable_a and_o observable_a first_o the_o temper_n of_o the_o spirit_n that_o the_o lord_n aim_v to_o reduce_v his_o people_n unto_o second_o the_o course_n the_o lord_n take_v to_o reduce_v they_o thereunto_o the_o temper_n of_o spirit_n that_o the_o lord_n desire_v to_o reduce_v his_o people_n unto_o be_v deliver_v in_o a_o double_a expression_n fear_v not_o be_v not_o dismay_v they_o be_v both_o one_o save_v that_o dismayednesse_n be_v the_o high_a extremity_n of_o fear_n so_o than_o the_o temper_n that_o he_o endeavour_v to_o reduce_v they_o unto_o be_v a_o quietness_n and_o settledness_n and_o undauntednesse_n of_o spirit_n second_o the_o course_n that_o god_n take_v to_o bring_v they_o to_o this_o temper_n of_o spirit_n be_v a_o proposal_n of_o motive_n and_o argument_n of_o sufficient_a effect_n and_o prevalency_n to_o pull_v down_o vain_a fear_n out_o of_o the_o heart_n fear_v not_o for_o i_o be_o thy_o god_n i_o be_o with_o thou_o and_o so_o forth_o the_o result_n of_o the_o text_n be_v brief_o this_o they_o need_v never_o to_o be_v afraid_a nor_o dismay_v at_o any_o thing_n though_o it_o appear_v never_o so_o hideous_a who_o have_v god_n for_o their_o god_n and_o present_a with_o they_o and_o a_o help_n unto_o they_o belove_a these_o be_v time_n as_o i_o hint_v before_o unto_o you_o that_o require_v such_o a_o cordial_a as_o this_o now_o mention_v unto_o you_o for_o now_o in_o a_o more_o eminent_a way_n then_o ever_o before_o be_v the_o glory_n of_o the_o kingdom_n of_o christ_n contest_v against_o and_o attempt_v to_o be_v throw_v down_o to_o the_o dust_n now_o when_o we_o hear_v of_o evil_n our_o heart_n be_v subject_a to_o be_v dismay_v and_o especial_o when_o we_o see_v they_o with_o our_o eye_n the_o sword_n be_v draw_v nay_o blood_n be_v draw_v the_o heart_n of_o man_n be_v full_a of_o faint_n and_o many_o almost_o at_o their_o wit_n end_n many_o begin_v to_o suspect_v what_o will_v become_v of_o thing_n out_o of_o the_o faint_a &_o suspicion_n of_o their_o spirit_n and_o therefore_o now_o now_o it_o be_v time_n to_o bring_v forth_o out_o of_o the_o treasure_n of_o the_o lord_n that_o that_o may_v stay_v the_o spirit_n of_o the_o people_n of_o god_n that_o be_v such_o a_o encouragement_n as_o the_o lord_n himself_o give_v which_o will_v be_v the_o best_a way_n in_o the_o world_n to_o establish_v our_o heart_n namely_o when_o god_n will_v say_v to_o a_o soul_n fear_v not_o be_v not_o dismay_v for_o i_o be_o thy_o god_n it_o be_v a_o cup_n of_o consolation_n indeed_o and_o that_o we_o may_v draw_v it_o forth_o to_o you_o with_o the_o better_a advantage_n for_o you_o to_o drink_v deep_a of_o it_o let_v we_o take_v these_o particular_n into_o consideration_n first_o what_o it_o be_v not_o to_o fear_v nor_o to_o be_v dismay_v second_o what_o it_o be_v that_o we_o must_v not_o fear_v and_o be_v dismay_v at_o three_o what_o the_o fruit_n of_o fear_n or_o dismayednesse_n be_v or_o what_o prejudice_n or_o disadvantage_n fear_n or_o dismayednesse_n bring_v along_o with_o they_o four_o we_o shall_v then_o consider_v the_o motive_n of_o the_o lord_n to_o take_v we_o off_o from_o these_o distemper_n of_o fear_n and_o dismayednesse_n namely_o because_o god_n be_v our_o god_n and_o in_o that_o we_o shall_v consider_v first_o what_o it_o be_v for_o god_n to_o be_v thy_o god_n second_o we_o shall_v consider_v what_o strength_n there_o be_v in_o this_o argument_n god_n be_v thy_o god_n how_o this_o take_v off_o fear_n and_o dismayednesse_n and_o three_o see_v there_o be_v such_o strength_n in_o this_o argument_n we_o shall_v consider_v how_o god_n do_v become_v the_o god_n of_o person_n and_o people_n that_o so_o you_o may_v see_v the_o way_n to_o enter_v into_o this_o privilege_n to_o have_v god_n for_o your_o god_n and_o so_o to_o be_v secure_v from_o fear_n and_o dismayednesse_n to_o begin_v with_o the_o first_o what_o it_o be_v for_o a_o person_n not_o to_o fear_v nor_o be_v dismay_v i_o have_v observe_v concern_v all_o the_o passion_n and_o affection_n of_o man_n that_o the_o sense_n of_o they_o far_o better_a open_a their_o nature_n than_o any_o discourse_n possible_o can_v when_o a_o fit_a of_o fear_n especial_o when_o the_o height_n of_o dismayednesse_n itself_o seize_v upon_o a_o spirit_n that_o spirit_n may_v read_v a_o plain_a lecture_n to_o itself_o of_o that_o passion_n than_o all_o the_o rhetoric_n of_o man_n in_o the_o world_n can_v express_v i_o mean_v fear_n be_v such_o a_o passion_n as_o every_o one_o know_v better_a by_o those_o experiment_n they_o have_v of_o it_o what_o it_o be_v than_o another_o be_v possible_a able_a to_o describe_v it_o be_v a_o very_a distract_n disturb_v confound_a passion_n it_o be_v a_o kind_n of_o besot_v passion_n that_o make_v man_n lose_v themselves_o especial_o if_o it_o be_v in_o the_o extremity_n of_o fear_n it_o arise_v from_o a_o apprehension_n of_o some_o unavoidable_a insupportable_a evil_a grow_v upon_o a_o person_n and_o occasion_v either_o by_o some_o symptom_n of_o that_o evil_a or_o by_o some_o messenger_n or_o other_o relate_v it_o or_o by_o some_o foresight_n of_o the_o evil_a in_o the_o eye_n now_o as_o evil_a appear_v great_a or_o lesser_a and_o more_o or_o less_o tolerable_a so_o the_o passion_n of_o fear_n be_v more_o or_o less_o in_o person_n in_o brief_a i_o will_v give_v you_o but_o a_o touch_n of_o the_o nature_n of_o this_o passion_n and_o you_o shall_v have_v it_o deliver_v to_o you_o in_o the_o word_n of_o the_o psalmist_n where_o he_o set_v it_o forth_o by_o its_o contrary_n by_o what_o it_o be_v not_o to_o be_v afraid_a or_o not_o to_o be_v dismay_v in_o 112_o psalm_n the_o 7._o and_o 8._o verse_n the_o psalmist_n have_v divers_a expression_n that_o plain_o show_v what_o it_o be_v for_o a_o person_n not_o to_o be_v afraid_a he_o shall_v not_o be_v move_v say_v he_o his_o heart_n be_v fix_v he_o shall_v not_o be_v afraid_a his_o heart_n be_v establish_v mark_v the_o phrase_n and_o in_o they_o you_o shall_v have_v a_o full_a lecture_n read_v to_o you_o of_o a_o heart_n not_o afraid_a nor_o dismay_v first_o it_o be_v a_o heart_n that_o be_v not_o move_v nor_o stir_v suppose_v evil_a grow_v on_o it_o may_v be_v the_o sword_n the_o enemy_n appear_v big_a and_o big_a still_o the_o danger_n be_v great_a and_o great_a what_o be_v it_o now_o not_o to_o be_v afraid_a it_o be_v not_o to_o be_v move_v at_o all_o at_o any_o time_n so_o far_o forth_o as_o the_o appearance_n of_o danger_n move_v the_o heart_n or_o turn_v it_o so_o far_o he_o be_v afraid_a so_o the_o other_o phrase_n do_v import_v his_o heart_n be_v fix_v you_o know_v that_o fear_v in_o the_o heart_n be_v oftentimes_o express_v by_o the_o shake_n and_o tremble_v of_o it_o and_o therefore_o the_o holy_a ghost_n express_v it_o also_o by_o the_o shake_n of_o the_o top_n of_o tree_n so_o it_o cause_v a_o unstedfastnesse_n of_o spirit_n now_o say_v the_o psalmist_n they_o shall_v not_o be_v afraid_a who_o heart_n be_v fix_v that_o be_v as_o a_o post_n that_o be_v set_v deep_a in_o the_o ground_n and_o ram_v in_o stand_v fast_o so_o that_o if_o you_o thrust_v against_o it_o it_o stir_v not_o it_o be_v fix_v so_o when_o any_o thing_n beat_v against_o the_o heart_n to_o shake_v it_o and_o to_o overthrow_v it_o when_o the_o heart_n of_o a_o man_n stir_v not_o at_o it_o it_o be_v a_o fix_a heart_n and_o be_v not_o afraid_a and_o so_o the_o phrase_n that_o follow_v his_o heart_n be_v establish_v signify_v that_o it_o be_v make_v a_o stable_n and_o firm_a heart_n so_o that_o it_o can_v be_v shake_v in_o brief_a to_o have_v a_o heart_n not_o afraid_a nor_o dismay_v be_v to_o have_v a_o heart_n calm_a that_o look_v with_o a_o regardless_o eye_n as_o i_o may_v say_v upon_o evil_n when_o
